[] Remarkable depth of rewarding selections: discover your next favorite bottle... Wednesday Nov 30th, 2022 [View in Browser]( [KL-emailheader.gif]( [Spirits News]( [Today's Newsletter]( is all about relationships, which are ultimately the backbone of entire spirits program—specifically, our direct relationships with many of the finest distilleries and independent bottlers in the whiskey game. We've cultivated long-standing ties with these invaluable players to bring our most dedicated spirits connsoisseurs one spectacular single cask after another through our K&L Exclusive Cask progam, and today we're expressing our heartfelt gratitude for this good fortune by highlighting some of the finest and most distinctive Scotch and bourbon selections in our inventory. - [Singular Scotch Casks from Hunter Laing](#section1) - [Exceptional Craft Bourbon Stunners](#section2) - [K&L Bundle Packs: Rarity and Value](#section3) [Cragganmore Distillery] --------------------------------------------------------------- Stunning Exclusive Casks from an All-Time Favorite Bottler It's difficult to say who is definitively our favorite independent bottler, but on any given day, the answer could easily be Hunter Laing. The staggering number of truly singular, out-of-this-world casks we've brought in through this stalwart firm is virtually unmatched. From both the Old & Rare and the Old Malt Cask lines, our inventory is full to the brim with jaw-dropping drams that will please any Scotch connoisseur, and the best way to get a sense of what's on offer is to dive into our trove of Advanced Sample bottlings from the Old Malt Cask line. These 200ml formats are the ideal way to get familiar with some of the greatest Scotch values on the market, and it seems they're tailor-made for gift giving and stocking stuffing—as spirits buyer Andrew Whiteley notes, "How often can you pop several pours of 15-year-old single malt in someone’s sock for under $35 bucks?" As much as we love the Old Malt Cask offerings, the Old & Rare line is the heart and soul of our relationship with Hunter Laing. Some of the most important casks we've ever bottled have come from Old & Rare, including a mind-blowing Cragganmore 25-Year-Old rarity that Andrew calls "one of the most extraordinary casks we've ever had the pleasure of tasting, let alone bottling." And this is just one of myriad treasures you'll find below. Now is the time of year to think of your favorite Scotch aficionado and make their holidays that much brighter, especially if that aficionado is you.

And that's spirits buyers David Othenin-Girard and Andrew Whiteley spend so much time going directly to the source. In their extensive visits to America's most interesting, innovative, and dynamic distillers, they've cultivated direct lines to some of the most unique and distinctive stocks available. As a result, we're able to bring you countless spectacular bottlings, including collectible treasures, from the most coveted names in the game. David's hand-selected roster below represents some of the finest bangs for your bourbon buck, starting with the rye and straight bourbon casks from the renaissance star Ezra Brooks for under $50. Denver's LAWS Whiskey House is on the cutting edge of craft distilling, and the cask below is, as David describes it, "a dang fun barrel of whisky, different enough to feel exciting without straying out of the flavor category that I want when I reach for bourbon." Of course, no serious bourbon enthusiast should miss anything put out by the inimitable Barrell Craft Spirits. The pair below highlights the incredible blending talents of their team in the Private Release C94A, as well as their keen ability to select the most impressive single barrels, as seen in the 5 Year Old Single Barrel. Where the market for big-name bourbon collectibles is hotter than ever, our exclusive casks provide all the singular character and style of those sought-after trophies. And yet, they're available at pricing that invites anyone and everyone to jump into the rare bourbon game and find out just how much there is to discover.

The Larceny 2-packs offer the smash-hit Small Batch Bourbon along with one of their extremely limited Barrel Proof bottlings, which are not available at individual retail. The standard-bearer for overperforming value bourbon, Elijah Craig's 4-pack combines two all-time favorites, the Small Batch Bourbon and the 94-point Straight Rye, with the highly coveted B522 Barrel Proof and the Toasted Barrel Small Batch for an unbeatable holiday combination. Finally, perhaps our greatest Scotch buy of the year is the Hart Brothers 3-Pack, a trio Speyside stunners ranging between 10 and 15 years old that are available as a bundle for $100 less than their total individual retail prices. There's simply nothing else like it in our inventory, and the single-barrel quantities make it all the more limited. Savvy aficionados will know what's on offer here, and we fully expect these packs to disappear before the new year. Item Name Retail Link John E.
