Producer Description 

Depending on the time of the year, the master distiller acquires the special variety of Pear Williams fruit from three continents. Then, using the same methods of production handed-down over four generations, the results are a product of such exquisite aroma and taste that Jelinek has been delighting legions of customers around the world for many years.

In the hill town of Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of Le Marche, the Meletti family has been crafting their celebrated amaro since the late 19th century. The recipe — a closely guarded secret passed down through generations — draws on the aromatic herbs, roots, and spices of the surrounding countryside, including bitter genziana root native to the region, sweet orange peel, and cloves. The result is one of Italy's most beloved digestivi: balanced, complex, and unmistakably Italian.

The Meletti Liquore Amaro 750ml sits in a beautifully balanced middle ground — neither aggressively bitter nor cloying sweet. The nose is brisk and invigorating, hovering between herbal and medicinal. On the palate, rich caramel and hazelnut flavors take the lead, with just enough bitterness and baking spice to keep things lively and interesting. Traditionally enjoyed neat after a meal, it also adds a distinctive, aromatic depth to cocktails.

Producer Description 

Rare Breed is a "barrel-proof bourbon," meaning it is bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels, with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavor. This bourbon is a unique marriage of Wild Turkey 6-, 8- and 12-year-old stocks, which give the whiskey a rich, exceptional flavor that is remarkably smooth, considering its high alcohol content. 

It is assertive with hints of light oranges, mint, and tones of sweet tobacco that will remind you of your grandfather's pipe-bowl. The finish is long, warm and nutty and lingers in the mouth with hints of hot peppers and well-toasted whole wheat bread. 

Producer Description 

Water, alcohol, sugar, raspberries and burnt sugar are blended together in refrigerated vats. When the alcohol content reaches a desirable level, the mixture is then filtered and bottled. Color Deep ruby, viscous Bouquet Intense raspberry fruit, nearly a sweet syrup, with oriental spice tones Taste Lush and intensely sweet but just tart enough from the raspberry fruits.

Expert Review

94 Points Tasting Panel | At 46 proof, Montenegro has become one of the leading amari and is extremely popular with mixologists. The sarsaparilla nose is iconic, the palate and experience of bitters and sweets, intertwined with twists and turns, from chocolate to root vegetable to orange zest.

Producer Description 

Soft and silky mouthfeel with a satisfying balance between sweet and bitter notes. Its well- balanced sweetness merges with the other ingredients, fading in a pleasantly bitter finish. Citrus entry with a high level of complexity. Sweet and bitter oranges leave room for motes of lime and mandarin. The herbaceous aroma of marjoram and thyme is gently overcome by spiced, basalmic blends of incense and eucalyptus. Complex roasted notes complete an elegant finish reminiscent of undergrowth and mineral tones. Amber-colored and bright with delicate mahogany transparencies on the outer edges. 

Don Julio Añejo Tequila 100% Blue Weber Agave

Don Julio González began his tequila-making journey in 1942 at the age of 17, with a vision to create something truly exceptional — a premium tequila that honored the agave and the land it came from.

Rich, distinctive, and wonderfully complex, the Añejo opens with aromas of agave, vanilla, and toasted oak, leading to a palate of honey sweetness, butterscotch, and lightly spiced warmth. The finish is bright, long, and elegant — a tequila equally at home sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a premium cocktail. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave and ready for any celebration.

Memo Summary Notes

Appleton Estate Signature (formerly known as Signature Blend) is the definitive gateway to Jamaican "funky" rum. Unlike the lighter, column-still rums of Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands, Appleton uses traditional copper pot stills combined with column distillation and limestone-filtered water to create a spirit with significant body and aromatic complexity.

• The Ultimate Mai Tai: This is the industry-standard rum for a classic Mai Tai. Its apricot and oak notes pair perfectly with orgeat (almond syrup) and lime.

• The "Jamaican Mule": Mix with a spicy ginger beer (like Q or Fever-Tree) and a heavy squeeze of lime to highlight the rum’s natural spice.

• Simple Serve: Its smooth profile makes it a rare "Gold" rum that can be enjoyed neat or on a large rock, though it shines brightest in cocktails.

Kalembu Mamajuana Crazy Design Edition — Dominican Republic

Mamajuana is the national spirit of the Dominican Republic — a centuries-old elixir rooted in the traditions of the indigenous Taíno people, who blended native herbs, bark, and spices as a health tonic and shamanic remedy. In 2005, J&J Spirits transformed this hand-mixed tradition into a perfectly balanced ready-to-drink spirit: Kalembu Mamajuana. This Crazy Design Edition is a special artistic release featuring vibrant bottle art by Dominican urban artist Crazy Design — a celebration of the island’s cultural energy in every sense.

Kalembu fuses red wine, honey, and a proprietary blend of traditional herbs and woody botanicals into a smooth, semi-sweet liqueur with a delicate spice finish. At 30 proof, it is approachable and endlessly versatile — equally at home as a digestif, on the rocks, or in cocktails.

Serve neat as “the Dominican Shot,” over ice to highlight herbal complexity, or as a Mama-Jito — a Caribbean twist on the Mojito.

• Producer: J&J Spirits, Dominican Republic
• Style: Herbal liqueur (Mamajuana)
• Base: Red wine, honey, herbs & botanicals
• Proof: 30 (15% ABV)
• Edition: Crazy Design — limited artistic release
• Format: 700ml

• Serve: Neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails

A one-of-a-kind Dominican spirit at an honest price — Kalembu is the benchmark for what Mamajuana can be.

Producer Description

Amber-colored, this grappa is very smooth at the taste, but never mawkish. In its aromatic profile the ranges of fruit and spices are predominant and that's right in the grappa with a long aging and a high quality standard.

In the range of fruity tastes we can catch the one of the dry fruit, so rare to find; together with the candied fruit, the raisins and the prune we can feel the fruit in syrup, the jam and the citrus. In the range of spices the flavor of the barrel is dominating, together with pepper, licorice, tobacco and clove.

The 12-year aging process transforms the raw, high-toned character of young grappa into a complex, mellow, and brandy-like spirit:

• Palate: Velvety smooth and oily, with a profound depth of flavor. The initial heat of the alcohol is perfectly integrated with rich flavors of caramel, honey, baked pear, and apricot jam. 
• The long aging substitutes the initial grappa fruitiness with secondary and tertiary oak-driven flavors.

Producer Description 

The art of making vodka is preserving the mouth-feel of what's being distilled. Charbay vodka is distilled one time, from Midwest grain. There is no need for charcoal filtration, so we don't do it. Using fantastic northern California water completes the process of giving you a very smooth, well rounded and clean, vodka experience.

Matured exclusively in hand selected American oak ex-bourbon barrels.

Tomintoul 10 Years Old is a delicate well-balanced single malt.Gentle and smooth with a medium body, Tomintoul 10 Year Old is a lovely expression from Speyside, Scotland.
