The end of summer is, coincidentally, a great time in the whiskey world. It intersects with Bourbon Heritage month officially, and less officially with the beginning of fall releases in the land of Scotch. Consider this your syllabus of what to be on the lookout for during this first quarter, because managing your workload will keep you ahead of the curve.

Glenfiddich Fire and Cane Fire and Cane is the dualistic name Glenfiddich gave to its latest expression: a peated single malt aged primarily in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Caribbean rum casks. Whisky finished in rum casks can go one of two ways: rich and syrupy, or bright and tropical. Fire and Cane is the latter, with notes of kiwi, toffee, and yes a hint of smoke that seems to be lingering on the sideline. For $50 it makes an entertaining cocktail whisky, but the smoky sweetness makes it ideal for dessert time around a back-to-school bonfire.

This year’s expression is no different: The Spirit of Mauve is a weird Calvados-cask-finished 13-year-old rye named for one of the OG celebrity pigs on the farm. She loved apples until her death last year; the whiskey, fittingly, is sold in a coffin-like wooden gift box. The price is steep for what’s on paper, but at $500 this honestly might still be a buy in our books.

Highland Park 50 Macallan isn’t the only overachiever in the family. Edgrington-owned Highland Park, known for its heathery, sherry-laden single malts, announced a 50-year-old single malt of its own just a couple of weeks ago. Whisky maker Max McFarlane and his Orkney, Scotland team found two sherry-seasoned Spanish hogshead casks originally laid down in 1964. The whisky inside those barrels filled only 274 bottles. The bad news? Only 77 of those are going to make it to the U.S. for sales. The good news: It was probably unaffordable anyway, at $15,000 for a standard 750 ml. bottle.

This beloved bottle was originally discontinued a few years ago, in a soul-crushing announcement that left some of us running to clean out the shelves like we were stocking up on milk before a blizzard. Others simply lost their minds, or switched reluctantly to another bottle. It’s coming back next month, at a familiar price of $90 and still laden with flavor from various styles of Spanish sherry casks. Looks like it’s going to be a good winter, after all.
