Kahlúa Coffee & Rum Liqueur — Veracruz, Mexico 1.0L

Kahlúa is the original coffee liqueur of Veracruz, Mexico — and after more than 80 years, it remains the world’s most iconic expression of the category. The recipe is deceptively simple and endlessly satisfying: 100% Arabica coffee beans and sugarcane rum, both sourced from the fertile volcanic soils of Veracruz, one of Mexico’s most celebrated agricultural regions. The result is a rich, sweet, deeply aromatic liqueur that has earned its place behind every great bar on the planet — and in the 1.0L format, it’s the bottle that keeps the party going.

The nose is immediately recognizable: roasted coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of caramel. On the palate, it is rich and velvety — sweet coffee and rum intertwine with notes of dark cocoa and vanilla bean, finishing warm and satisfying. Endlessly versatile: sip it over ice, pour it into an Espresso Martini, stir it into a White Russian, or use it to elevate desserts and baking.

67 Wine — “The original. Eighty years of Veracruz coffee and rum in every bottle — there’s a reason Kahlúa is still the first name in coffee liqueur.”

Kamoizumi Red Maple — Junmai Ginjo Namazume — Hiroshima, Japan — 720ml

The Maegaki family began as rice farmers in Hiroshima, became landlords, and entered sake brewing at the onset of Japan's modern era in 1910. In 1965, Kamoizumi became one of a pioneering group of ten breweries who committed entirely to junmai sake production — at a time when adding brewers’ alcohol to maximize profits was standard practice. Their first Junmai was released in 1971, and few breweries have taken a bolder stance on developing a true house style. Red Maple is their most celebrated expression: a Junmai Ginjo Namazume aged for two years at 5°C, unpasteurized and undiluted, developing rich, layered savory character without losing a sense of freshness. This is sake at a new level of complexity.

The sake balances sweetness, acidity, astringency, and savory depth like no other — a textbook expression of the elusive flavor of umami. Rich and full-flavored on the palate, with bold character and the drinkability that marks true technical mastery. The two-year cold aging builds layers of complexity — earthy, savory, and deeply satisfying — while the namazume (once-pasteurized) process preserves a vibrant freshness that keeps every sip alive. Designed to be enjoyed now or aged further in a cold cellar or wine fridge.

Unpasteurized, undiluted, aged 2 years at 5°C — Junmai Ginjo Namazume from one of Hiroshima's most pioneering sake breweries. Bold, umami-driven, and built for the table.

• Producer: Kamoizumi Brewery, Hiroshima, Japan

• Cellar Potential: Drink now or age further in a cold cellar or wine fridge
• Best Paired With: Grilled meats, yakitori, aged cheeses, miso-glazed fish, mushroom dishes, full-flavored cuisine

One of Hiroshima's most pioneering breweries, one of Japan's most complex sake expressions — Kamoizumi Red Maple is the benchmark for what bold, umami-driven Junmai Ginjo can be.

Producer Description 

Kawatsuru translates to “river crane” and comes from the sighting of a crane in the river behind the brewery. Crane of Paradise is described as “umakuchi,” a combination between sweet, dry and umami flavors. The perfect summertime sip!

Juicy notes of grapefruit and freshly cut grass, with a hint of salted pineapple. Crisp, dry finish with an almost effervescent energy behind it.

Try with Pizza with prosciutto/speck or smoked salmon with cream cheese. 

Winemaker Description 

Made with yeast extracted from the Sanuki olive native to the region, this hyperlocal sake showcases the best of Kagawa in a one-of-a-kind bottling.

Juicy notes of musk melon, white flowers and green pear with hints of starfruit, grass and salinity.

Try with salad with carrot ginger dressing, coconut crab curry or spring pea & mint gazpacho. 

Our Professional Review

A unique expression of sake made with olive yeast.  Beautiful white fruits and floral notes backed by lovely herbal and savory notes.

Winemaker Description 

If you've ever encountered a "warm sake" skeptic, heat up a bottle of this Kenbishi "Kuromatsu" and prove to them that warm sake can be one of life's greatest pleasures. With the right amount of heat (around 104°F), hints of cashews, rice, caramel emerge. This 180ml bottle is designed especially for the microwave – remove the cap and heat for 20 seconds.

One cup sakes were first introduced during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and are perfect for taking on a picnic, a game, or alongside takeout.

Rand Sieger, 67Wine: This is a heady sake with deep, rich umami flavors and bright acidity, perfect for matching the richness of fatty fish like otoro, salmon, or mackerel.  The honjozo style relies on the addition of a small amount of brewer's alcohol to create a smoother, lighter sake with heightened aromatic complexity.

Kurosawa Nigori Sake — Nagano, Japan

Kurosawa Brewery has been crafting sake in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture since 1858 — over 160 years of unbroken tradition in one of Japan's most celebrated brewing regions. Nagano's pristine alpine water, cold winters, and clean mountain air create ideal conditions for slow, careful fermentation, and Kurosawa has long been a benchmark for accessible, honest sake that respects both tradition and the modern table.

Nigori — meaning "cloudy" in Japanese — is sake that has been coarsely filtered, leaving fine rice solids suspended in the bottle. The result is a milky, opaque appearance and a texture that is richer and more luscious than clear sake, with a natural sweetness that comes not from added sugar but from the unfermented rice itself. Kurosawa's Nigori is a textbook expression of the style: approachable, generous, and deeply satisfying.

Cloudy ivory in the glass with a soft, creamy pour. The nose is fresh and fruity — ripe pineapple, lychee, and a gentle floral note. On the palate it is smooth and medium-bodied, with a creamy texture, tropical fruit sweetness, and a clean, refreshing finish. Serve well chilled. Delicious on its own, and a natural partner for bold, spicy flavors.

• Founded: 1858
• Style: Nigori — Unfiltered, Semi-Sweet
• Region: Nagano, Japan
• ABV: 14.9%

Tasting Notes

Kurosawa Junmai Kimoto is medium-bodied and dry with vibrant aromas of banana, mango, and subtle spice.

Complex yet harmonious, with a beautifully balanced finish.

About the Sake

Made using the rare, traditional Kimoto brewing method — which relies on native rather than cultured yeasts — this sake from Kurosawa Brewery in Nagano Prefecture delivers a slightly richer, earthier character than modern styles. The result is a sake of exceptional depth and versatility that rewards both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.

“Kimoto Sake is a traditional style relying on the use of native rather than cultured yeasts. This gives the sake a slightly richer, earthier character. Its rounder body and earthiness make it an excellent pairing for medium-fatty fish like yellowtail.” — Rand Sieger, 67Wine

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with yellowtail, salmon, sushi, grilled mushrooms, miso-glazed dishes, and light poultry. Enjoy cold or gently warmed.

La Gritona is the passion project of Melly Cardenas, a female distiller working out of a small, fiercely independent distillery (NOM 1533) in the highlands of Jalisco — one of Mexico's most celebrated tequila-producing regions, known for its red volcanic soils and the exceptional quality of its blue agave. Everything about La Gritona is intentional and hands-on: from the agave harvested at peak sugar production and delivered to the ovens within 24 hours of cutting, to the hand-blown recycled glass bottles made by artisans in the Guadalajara neighborhood of Tlaquepaque.

The agave is baked in thick-walled earthen ovens for 24 hours, then rested for another 24 hours before crushing. The collected juice is allowed to ferment naturally — at a rate dictated solely by the surrounding air temperature, with no added yeasts or shortcuts. The fermented liquid is distilled twice, then rested for 8 months in reused American whiskey barrels before filtering and bottling. Every step of production takes place under one roof, overseen by a small team of local staff. Agave remnants are given to local farmers as cattle feed — nothing goes to waste.

The result is a Reposado of genuine character: subtle and distinctive, with the warmth and depth of barrel aging balanced by the bright, vegetal freshness of highland agave. The nose offers cooked agave, citrus peel and a whisper of vanilla and oak. The palate is smooth and approachable, with flavors of roasted agave, nopales, citrus and gentle spice, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Exceptional for sipping neat or on the rocks, and equally at home in a premium cocktail.

Producer Description 

Created in partnership with Nick Offerman, Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a woody and peaty, fruity and spicy offering. The woody, peaty notes lead from the front, gently tingling the tongue in a cha-cha before fading to reveal a veritable waltz of sweet berry and orchard fruit notes. Aged in a mix of refilled and rejuvenated American Oak barrels, this whisky demands to be served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.

Carrying on a 200-year-old tradition of distilling excellence, the Lagavulin distillery is said to be one of the oldest distilleries on Islay. Founded in 1816 by farmer John Johnston and later led by Peter Mackie in 1890, the name Lagavulin was to become the last word on the delicacy of Islay malts. Miles and miles of peat bog in the west of the island provide the raw material which imbues the barley with their iconic smoky flavor, and the rich peaty water from the tranquil Lochan Sholum in the hills above the distillery makes the flavors so unique. It takes time, but patience is their finest virtue and rushing good whisky is just not how they take care of things in Islay. 

Lagavulin 16 Year Old — The Definitive Islay Single Malt

There are peated whiskies, and then there is Lagavulin. Distilled on the rugged southern shore of Islay and aged for a full 16 years, this is one of the most iconic single malts ever produced — a whisky that commands attention from the first pour and rewards patience with every sip.

The nose is immediate and unapologetic: a great wave of peat smoke, salted driftwood, and smoked fish, with a deep undercurrent of caramelized malt, baked apple, and oloroso sherry. On the palate, the smoke gives way to a lush maritime complexity — varnish, ocean spray, dark fruit, and a long, sweetly peated finish that lingers for minutes.

Lalo Blanco Tequila 100% Blue Weber Agave

Lalo Tequila was founded by Eduardo “Lalo” González — grandson of Don Julio González, the legendary figure who revolutionized premium tequila in Mexico. With that lineage comes an uncompromising commitment to quality: Lalo is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, with no additives, no coloring, no glycerin, and no artificial flavoring. Just pure, honest tequila.

The Blanco is unaged and bottled directly after distillation to preserve the full, natural expression of the agave. The result is a tequila of remarkable clarity and depth — clean and precise, with a beautifully balanced profile that makes it equally exceptional for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails.

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.
