Nonino AMARO Quintessentia 750ml

Producer Description

Born in Friuli — a borderland and crossroads of Roman, Arabian, Celtic, Venetian, and Slavic influences — Amaro Nonino Quintessentia® is the result of the Nonino family's alchemic art, enriched by centuries of cultural exchange and a deep knowledge of botanical varieties from near and far.

The name Quintessentia® was chosen to celebrate the alchemic achievement of the purest essence, passed down through generations of family recipe. The Bowl of Hygeia at the center of the label honors the origin of amaro — historically born as a medicinal remedy.

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast 96 Points — Tawny and bright in the glass, this mellow, bittersweet beauty offers caramel and vanilla, braced by allspice and bitter orange. Although Nonino is best known for its grappas, this amaro — flavored with herbs from the mountains of Friuli — is worth seeking out. Consider it for dessert pairings or an edgy spin on a Negroni.

Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey — Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA (1.0L)

Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling American whiskey — and one of the most iconic spirits brands on earth. Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee, the distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and has been producing Old No. 7 from the same limestone cave spring water source for over 150 years. What sets Tennessee Whiskey apart from bourbon is the Lincoln County Process — a distinctive charcoal mellowing step in which the new spirit is slowly dripped through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel, removing harsh notes and imparting the signature smoothness that defines Jack Daniel's character. The whiskey is then matured in handcrafted, new American oak barrels with a balance of sweet and oaky flavor, developing the vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood notes that have made Old No. 7 the benchmark of the category. In 1.0L format, it is the ideal bottle for home bars, entertaining, and cocktail making.

The nose is smooth and inviting: pronounced vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of caramel with the gentle sweetness of the charcoal mellowing process. On the palate, it is silky and balanced yet lush and intense — sweet oak, vanilla, and a warm, lingering finish with just the right amount of spice. A gorgeous iteration from America's top whiskey brand.

Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata — 1.75L

Olmeca Altos is the bartender’s tequila — born in the Los Altos Highlands of Jalisco, crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave using centuries-old traditional methods, and built from the ground up to make the perfect Margarita.

The 1.75L format makes it the ideal choice for high-volume entertaining, home bars, or anyone who goes through a lot of great tequila.

Herbal notes of cooked agave on the nose, with a slightly citric and sweet profile and a fruity, fresh aroma. The palate is smooth and clean — zesty citrus, sweet lemon and lime, and warm cooked-agave character — with a crisp, refreshing finish. The Margarita champ that bartenders swear by.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old — The Most Richly Flavoured of All Scotch Whiskies

From the remote southern shore of Islay — an island whose name means "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay" in Gaelic — comes one of the world’s most distinctive and beloved single malts. Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) is not a whisky that asks for your approval. It announces itself boldly and leaves a lasting impression.

Malted barley dried over Islay’s unique peat fires gives Laphroaig its unmistakable character: a deep, pungent smoke layered with seaweed, campfire ash, and smoked fish on the nose, followed by a palate of earthy sweetness, toasted barley, and a long, oily, medicinal finish that Islay devotees find utterly irreplaceable.

“Great Value” — Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points

• Distillery: Laphroaig, Islay, Scotland
• Age: 10 Years
• Size: 750ml
• ABV: 43%
• Tasting Notes: Blue peat smoke, seaweed, campfire ash, toasted barley, heather, medicinal finish
• Style: Heavily peated, maritime Islay single malt

Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of cool water to open up the aromatics. Roll it on your tongue and let Islay come to you. A benchmark bottle for any serious whisky collection.

Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth — Turin, Italy | 16.5% ABV

Carpano Antica Formula is the original sweet vermouth — and arguably the most important bottle in the history of the cocktail. Created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin in 1786, this is the vermouth that started it all: the ancient formula that defined the category, inspired generations of bartenders, and remains the gold standard for sweet vermouth to this day. Every detail of production reflects that heritage: white wines from Romagna, Puglia, and Sicily are processed within 24 hours of harvest to prevent oxidation; botanical ingredients are extracted by hot infusion or cold extraction over months of precise, lengthy processing; and the final blend undergoes a refining stage of several more months to allow every herb and spice to fully integrate. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 95 points.

The nose is rich, complex, and unmistakable: Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Tahiti vanilla beans (whole, never derivative), Alpine wormwood from Piedmont and the Aosta Valley, Iranian saffron, bitter orange, dates, cocoa beans, almond, raisins, and cloves. On the palate, it is lush and well-rounded — a deep vanilla core framed by spice, dried fruit, and a long, warming finish. Drinkable solo over ice as an aperitif or digestif, and the definitive ingredient in a proper Manhattan or Negroni.

Wine Enthusiast 95 — “Rich, fruity and enticing… warmed with notes of fig and dried cherries, and just faint hints of spiced gingerbread and bitter orange peel. Drinkable solo as an apéritif, or use it as a cocktail-mixing favorite.”

• Producer: Carpano Distillery, Turin, Piedmont, Italy
• Style: Sweet (Red) Vermouth — Antica Formula (Ancient Recipe, est. 1786)
• Base Wine: White wines from Romagna, Puglia & Sicily — processed within 24 hours of harvest
• Key Botanicals: Whole vanilla beans (Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Tahiti), Alpine wormwood (Piedmont & Aosta Valley), Iranian saffron, bitter orange, cocoa beans, cloves
• ABV: 16.5%
• Size: 750ml

Citadelle Gin — Cognac, France — 88 Proof — 750ml

Citadelle is one of France's most celebrated gin houses, distilled in Cognac using a 19th-century copper pot still and a signature blend of 19 botanicals sourced from around the world — juniper, citrus peel, coriander, cardamom, fennel, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and more. The result is a gin of rare aromatic complexity: three defining character traits — juniper, citrus, and exotic spice — woven together with a voluptuous, long finish that sets it apart from anything else in the category. 96 points from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge and 94 points (Best Buy) from Wine Enthusiast confirm what the glass already tells you.

The nose is elegant and inviting — fresh flowers, green melon, lemon peel, wild herbs, and assertive juniper, softened by cinnamon and anise. On the palate, the gin is smooth, refreshing, and crisp, with complex flavors of green peach, pear, lavender, mint, and citrus that build with every sip. The juniper cedes to a long, voluptuous, spicy finish with touches of pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon that linger beautifully.

Château de Laubade · Bas Armagnac · VSOP · Gascony, France · 750ml

Château de Laubade is one of the great estates of Bas-Armagnac — the most prestigious sub-region of the Armagnac appellation, located in the heart of Gascony in southwest France. Founded in 1870 and spanning over 400 hectares, Laubade is the largest single-estate producer in the appellation, farming its own vineyards and distilling exclusively on-site using traditional Armagnac alembic stills. Armagnac is France’s oldest brandy, predating Cognac by over a century, and Bas-Armagnac is its finest expression — lighter, more aromatic, and more terroir-driven than its more famous cousin. The VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged a minimum of four years in Gascon black oak, developing the complexity and elegance that has made Laubade a benchmark for the category. At $42.99, this is one of the most compelling values in aged French brandy.

Warm amber in the glass with a soft, inviting nose of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, dried plum, and a delicate floral lift — elegant and approachable from the first pour. On the palate: smooth and round, with flavors of ripe apricot, vanilla bean, and plum, framed by gentle spice and the subtle earthiness of Gascon oak. The finish is long, soft, and warming — a digestif of genuine refinement. Serve neat in a tulip glass after dinner, or pair with honey-glazed cheese, wild strawberries, or a light espresso.

Producer Description 

Caribbean Cask has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. To create the ideal finish, Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches.

The result is an exceptional single malt whisky with the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie, married with notes of toffee and a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish. Rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes. Rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time. Soft and lingering.

Expert Review 

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | After regular maturation, this Scotch is extra matured in former rum casks. The end result layers rich, mouth-coating dried apricot, honey and Sherry notes on top of Balvenie s usual caramel and light peat profile. It finishes flavorful, though with a distinct burst of alcohol warmth. 

Crop Harvest Earth Cucumber Vodka — USA

Crop Harvest Earth is an American artisanal spirits brand built on a simple but powerful idea: that the best vodka starts with the best ingredients, grown responsibly from the earth. Crop Cucumber Vodka is crafted from organically grown cucumbers and distilled to capture the authentic, garden-fresh character of the vegetable in its purest form — not a synthetic flavoring, but a genuine expression of the ingredient itself. At 70 proof, it is lighter and more delicate than standard vodka, designed to let the natural cucumber character shine through in cocktails and sipping alike. The result is one of the most acclaimed flavored vodkas on the market, earning top scores from the industry's most respected tasting panels.

It's like taking a walk in the vegetable garden. The nose is lightly vegetal with white floral notes — the aroma of the earth, the savoriness of the green skin, and the fleshy, crunchy, juicy core of a freshly-picked cucumber. On the palate, it is clean and crisp with authentic cucumber character and a light, spa-like freshness. A brininess on the finish leaves a friendly open door for creative cocktails. Delicious on its own or as the key ingredient to a remarkable Bloody Mary, cucumber lemonade, or simply with club soda and a slice of fresh cucumber.

Tasting Panel 95 — "Cucumber is all grown up in this artisanal flavored vodka. The aroma of the earth, the savoriness of the green skin, and the fleshy, crunchy, and juicy core. A brininess on the finish leaves a friendly open door for creative cocktails."

Pallini · Limoncello · Amalfi Coast Sfusato Lemons · Rome, Italy · 750ml

The Pallini family has been distilling in Rome since 1875 — and their Limoncello is the benchmark by which all others are measured. Made exclusively with Sfusato lemons from the Amalfi Coast, one of Italy’s most prized and protected citrus varieties, Pallini Limoncello captures the essence of the lemon in a way that mass-produced versions simply cannot. Sfusato lemons are larger, more aromatic, and more intensely flavored than ordinary lemons — their thick, oil-rich peel is the key ingredient, macerated in pure grain spirit to extract every last drop of natural lemon essence before being blended with water and sugar to create a liqueur of extraordinary freshness and depth. At $29.99, this is the Limoncello you bring to the table when you want to make an impression.

Luminous lemon-gold in the glass with an alluring, intensely aromatic bouquet of freshly squeezed lemon zest and citrus blossom. On the palate: refreshing and vibrant, with a satiny smooth texture more reminiscent of a fine spirit than a liqueur — bright lemon flavor, perfectly balanced sweetness, and a clean, lingering citrus finish. Serve ice-cold straight from the freezer, pour over vanilla gelato, or use as the base for a Limoncello Spritz or Sour. Drink immediately — that’s the whole point.

Don Julio Reposado Tequila — Jalisco, Mexico 750ml

Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey in the highlands of Jalisco in 1942, pioneering a closer-planted, higher-altitude approach to Blue Agave cultivation that produced richer, more complex spirit. Don Julio Reposado is the house’s aged expression — rested for 8 months in American white-oak barrels, which impart a warm amber color and a mellow, elegant depth that bridges the crispness of blanco with the richness of añejo. Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, it is a tequila of remarkable balance and versatility.

Amber in color, Don Julio Reposado opens with an inviting aroma of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and warm oak. The palate is rich and smooth — savory jalapeño and sweet vanilla interplay with brown sugar and nutmeg, concluding with a long, warming finish of pleasant chili-pepper heat.

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points — “Featuring an enticing mix of savory jalapeño and sweet vanilla, this light-gold reposado finishes particularly long, with brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg, concluding with warming prickles of pleasant chili-pepper heat.”

Frank August was founded in Lexington, Kentucky with a singular ambition: to make a bourbon that earns its price through craft rather than hype. Named for the month of harvest — when the grain that will become the whiskey is at its peak — the brand takes its cues from the gentlemen distillers of the Bluegrass State’s golden age. The Small Batch is their flagship expression: a high-corn mash bill distilled in Kentucky and aged in new charred American oak, then blended in small batches for consistency and character. At 100 proof, it is bottled with enough backbone to hold its own neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.

Rich auburn in the glass with full, slow legs. The nose is immediately inviting — caramel, vanilla, warm oak, and mild baking spices that settle the senses before the first sip. On the palate, those caramel and vanilla notes arrive first, then cinnamon and rye bread spice build toward the middle as brown sugar and malt sweetness emerge on the back of the tongue. At 100 proof the heat is present but perfectly balanced — warming without burning. The finish is medium-long and satisfying, with lingering vanilla, oak, and baking spice that make the second pour inevitable.

“Opens with hints of caramel and vanilla balanced with warm oak and mild baking spices… a perfect balance of heat and smoothness at 100 proof.” — Frank August

St-Germain Elderflower Liquéur — French Alps (375ml)

St-Germain is the world’s most celebrated elderflower liquéur — a bottle that has become as essential behind the bar as it is beautiful on the shelf. Made from 100% fresh, hand-harvested elderflower blossoms gathered each spring in the foothills of the French Alps, St-Germain captures a fleeting seasonal ingredient at its peak and transforms it into something timeless. The harvest window is just a few weeks each year; the blossoms are picked by hand and macerated immediately to preserve their delicate, aromatic character. The result is a liquéur of extraordinary subtlety and complexity — with roughly half the sugar content of most liquéurs, it is as versatile as it is refined.

The nose is fresh and floral: white peach, pear, grapefruit zest, and a delicate elderflower blossom sweetness that is unmistakably St-Germain. On the palate, the liquéur is silky and elegant — subtle yet complex, with a clean, lightly sweet finish that integrates seamlessly into cocktails or shines on its own over ice. Add a splash to Champagne or Prosecco for an effortless festive cocktail, stir into a Spritz, or use as the secret ingredient in a St-Germain Sour or French 75.

Producer Description 

This is first-class Guatemalan rum is made from virgin sugar cane honey--the first press of the sugar cane that's boiled down to thicken--rather than molasses, which is a byproduct of the sugar-making process. 

This results in a finer, sweeter, smoother rum. Aged in the solera method, like Sherry, the Zacapa Centenario is very dark--mahogony with coppery tints--and has a clove, cocoa, cinnamon and orange peel-scented nose.

The palate is sweet and smooth, with cocoa, orange and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth.

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | Grand Marnier-or "GrandMa," as some cocktail geeks gleefully shorthand it-remains one of the classics. Although it's Cognac-based, it's a versatile match for other spirits, too. The liqueur is extremely aromatic, with lots of sweet and bitter orange notes exploding out of the glass. Look for a warm, honeyed flavor and a nice burst of orange peel and spicy cinnamon and ginger on the long finish. 

Producer Description 

Bright topaz colour with gold and amber tints. Complex nose of orange flowers, combined with scents of candied zests and toffee. Bitter orange flavours that the cognac enhances with nuances of orange marmalade and hazelnuts. The finish is long and harmonious. 

Wine Enthusiast 90- 95 Points | The nose is nutty; aeration brings out some spice. The palate entry continues with the nut-fest; at midpalate the flavors of cocoa bean, cafe au lait, Brazil nut and Christmas spices take flight. Concludes chocolaty.

Combining a blend of foraged botanicals alongside classics such as coriander, wormwood, orange, and myrtle, Dalton Gin boasts a rich juniper core, and ought to be ideal for Martinis and the like.
