Hello Charlotte Drammers!
You’re invited to join us for another tasting of rare whiskey and spirits on Friday, May 15th at 7pm. We’ve assembled a great lineup — the tasting will feature some exciting new single casks that our club picked (which have just arrived) plus some other cutting-edge new releases. Specifically, the lineup will include:
Ardnamurchan Peated 6yo - Peated 6yo Drammers Single Barrel Pick #110. Distilled at the Ardnamurchan Distillery, which has been around now for over 10 years, but they are still arguably one of the hottest of the newer crop of young Scotch distilleries. Cask #1520, distilled in 2018, matured in a Peated First Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead, 1 of 320 bottles, 58.6% abv. Wait until you see how dark this liquid is (no color added of course!).
Linkwood Distillery Unpeated 14yo (Independent Bottling by Adelphi). This is another single cask pick selected by Drammers Club (pick #111), and it’s not a coincidence that they arrived at the same time (Adelphi is the parent company that built and owns the Ardnamurchan distillery, so we picked these casks together). This pick is also ridiculously dark. Matured in a 1st Fill PX Sherry Cask. Distilled in 2011, Bottled in 2025, 1 of 217 bottles, 53.5% abv.
Boulder Spirits - Bourbon Single Cask (Armagnac Finish, Bottled by Lost Lantern)
Heaven Hill - Grain to Class Rye - Chinquapin Speciality Cask. As part of Heaven Hill’s exploration of grain varietals in bourbon, this features Beck’s Hybrids corn seed varietals, but the twist on this 2025 release it that it was aged seven years in Chinquapin oak, a rare Missouri-grown white oak chosen to amplify depth and complexity. 53.5% abv.
Green River - Army Anniversary Bottling
Broken Barrel Bourbon - Secret Stash
Stauning - Peated Single Malt (Amarone Single Cask). This brand new Drammers single barrel is from our friends at the Stauning Distillery in Denmark. This is our 3rd cask pick with them — a peated single malt matured in 1st fill bourbon and Amarone casks. Aged 4 years, 10 months, bottled at 57% abv.
1 More Expression TBA!
That’s our lineup, we hope you can join us! A big thank you to Perry organizing and to Perry and Marisa for hosting (address: 712 Shawnee Drive, Charlotte, NC, 28209). We’ll order in light food which is included in your ticket (likely pizza) and as always we ask that everyone arrange a ride home — after all, we’ll be drinking a bunch of high proof stuff.
Cheers,
Charlie, Perry and Drammers Club
