Cooper's Choice/Vintage Malt Whisky Co. have been instrumental to whisky-geekery, let's just mention their Lagavulins or their Port Ellens that were rather to be found in little shops in France and Italy, if my memory serves me well. Some great, great whiskies that have become highly sought-after by knowledgeable enthusiasts.
Bunnahabhain 14 yo 2001/2016 (46%, The Cooper's Choice, sherry butt, cask #1428, 420 bottles)

Colour: full gold. Nose: this is quality sherry, with delicate notes of toasted brown bread, halva, walnut cake, couscous (yep), cigars, dough, then whiffs of fumes and old engine. Touch of both leather and leatherette. Did you see that leatherette is coming back into fashion? Mouth: very good, dry, rather on liquorice at first, then tar and walnuts as well as more engine oil. It's a tight, spicy and earthy sherriness that would remind us of the bodegas in Jerez. Finish: rather long spicier yet, with rather a lot of cinnamon. Comments: excellent dry and spicy sherry that transports you to 'the triangle', although that's currently changing, apparently. I mean, appellations and all that.nds
