An Unusual Clynelish Aged in American Oak, PX, and Oloroso from Diageo’s 2022 Special Release
An unusual Clynelish with just a slight trace of waxiness and added sweetness and spiciness from a maturation in refill American Oak, then finished in PX/Oloroso seasoned casks.
According to the website
Alliance Whisky was hand-selected by Ryan Engen to be released in the Wine & Beyond stores. After testing a few barrels from our head distiller, Garret Haynes, this batch stood out from the crowd. In cohesiveness with our previous releases, we chose the name from Alberta Grain Elevators; those still standing and those that are not- Alliance being one of them. Alliance, by definition, describes a relationship based on a harmony of interests, qualities, and mutual benefits. This is why it was selected for the exclusive collaboration with Wine and Beyond.
This release was all taken from Barrel # 131. It has been aged for 37 months in a #2 Char new American white oak barrel. It would be considered a corn whisky, similar to bourbon (but not native to where bourbon is crafted in order to give it the official name). The grain bill was 72% Corn, 17% Rye Malt, 11% 2-row barley malt. The whisky is at cask strength with an impressive ABV of 56.6%.
Proud to be Canadian!

Mac-Talla is a new range of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the second greatest island in the world, Islay. Mac-Talla, meaning “echo” in Scottish Gaelic, aims to reflect the journey that this whisky takes you on as you experience the coastal waters and salty shoreline of Scotland . Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and laid down for 15 years has given this one a lovely sweetness with an undeniable Islay character. This is a peat heads dream. Could this be Bowmore? Could it be Laphroaig?

According to the Website “For the first release in DEVINE's Cask Finish series, we selected three casks of our single malt whisky for finishing in European oak wine casks. These wine casks were the same ones used to age the last vintage of Marachel Foch red wine made at DEVINE.
The result is an exceptionally smooth dram anchored by the sweet malty biscuit and baking spices you've come to expect from our Glen Saanich, which is then finessed by the character of the wine casks adding notes of stewed fruit and soft tannins on the finish.
A perfect dram to toast the legacy of DEVINE's early years as a winery.”
