Producer Description 

WE'VE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, TIME AND TIME AGAIN Along the north coast of Ireland, where arctic storms rage against the jagged cliffs and where the crisp waters of the River Bush cut through volcanic rock, generations have passed down an ancient distilling tradition. 

Light and fruity with spicy aroma. Vanilla note, developing into vanilla ice cream and creme brulee. Gently warming, mouth-coating texture. A touch of honey sweetness. Crisp, fresh finish, with a touch of spice.

Bushmills is named for the mills that made the barley and the River Bush, which remains the water source to cut our whiskey to proof today. First to do it. Second to none. Triple distilled.

Producer Description 

The Bushmills® Private Reserve Collection is a series of small batch single malts hand selected with unique cask finishes, born from the original Irish single malt tradition that Bushmills® pioneered.

This 12 Year Old single malt Irish whiskey is first matured in carefully selected bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks before finishing in Reposado & Añejo Tequila casks.

Old Raj gin has been produced for us since 1972 and is available at 46% and 55% abv. Bottling takes place in Campbeltown. This quality floral gin has a slight yellow tint due to the addition of the saffron. This valuable and rare ingredient is added post distillation.

• The firm of William Cadenhead Limited, Wine and Spirit Merchants, was founded in 1842 and was in the ownership of the same family until it was taken over by the well known Campbeltown firm of J & A Mitchell & Co. Ltd who own Springbank Distillery. The premises were in Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen and although the street numbers were changed from time to time the premises were the same and indeed were almost unaltered during their 130 years of trading in Aberdeen.

Producer Description 

A high-end tequila made with 100% blue agave, aged for 36 months and finished in California red-wine barrels. A unique aroma of decadent vanilla, caramel and butterscotch, with hints of leather and honeycomb, and notes of toffee, spiced nuts and cinnamon to the palate. 

Producer Description 

An elegant bouquet featuring pear and baking spice, underpinned by nuances of honey, cedar, and lemon peel, alongside a subtle almond backdrop.

The finish introduces a delicate interplay of lavender, nutmeg, and a hint of cayenne.

Producer Description 

This 750ml bottle of Campante Mezcal Joven Artesanal from Oaxaca, Mexico is a handcrafted delight. Made with traditional methods and agave plants from local fields, it boasts a smooth and unique taste. 

A true representation of Oaxacan culture and artisanal expertise, this mezcal is a must-try for any agave lover.

Producer Description 

All five malts from the region’s three distilleries have been used to produce this Blended Malt. An unmistakable Campbeltown whisky: Initial notes of butterscotch, toffee apples and salted caramel give way to reveal more complexity with traditional maritime and spice notes combined with a subtle touch of peat smoke.

Matured in a combination of Ex-Bourbon and Ex-Sherry casks, vatted and bottled at Springbank Distillery, Campbeltown. 

The beginning of this legacy is born from the red Earth of Jesus Maria, in the highlands of Jalisco, among abundant fields of blue agave and the vision on Don Ricardo Lopez, who thanks to his passion for work and dedication from many years, has made Casa Campo Azul a reference in the art of making tequila of the highest quality.

1940 is a very important year for us. It was the year of the birth of our founder, Don Ricardo Lopez, who decided to venture into the world of tequila, inheriting all of his father’s knowledge about the growing and caring of agave azul in his hometown Jesus Maria, Jalisco in the highland’s region.

The process begins when new plants (plant shoots) born from the mother plant are extracted and planted in a new field where they will grow and develop for 7-8 years before finally being harvested. The agave is cooked in an ancestral type of masonry oven for 30 hours in direct contact with steam and continues cooking for another 24 hours for clow cooking down and rest on the pina.

This slow cooking of the agave heads ensures a uniform cooking of the plant that gives the beverage more complex aromas and flavors.

From there the agave is milled and fermented for 78 hours until the fermentation reaches the desired richness, then double distilled in stainless steel stills.

The Reposado is aged in American white oak barrels in our cellar.

Expert Review

Forbes Magazine: This is an exceptionally smooth Cognac. Matured for four years. On the nose, it offers up rich floral aromas of violet, jasmine, roses, white flowers and peonies, along with intense fruity notes of sweet caramel apples, honey and both fresh and dried fruit, especially prune, peach and apricot, along with Sauterne like notes of golden raisin and fig, as well as some passion fruit and a touch of vanilla. There is also an earthy, black tea like quality in the background, and a hint of waxiness.

Recently, Camus, the largest of the family owned Cognac producers, released a new addition to its core range of Cognacs—labeled Intensely Aromatic. The Cognacs were the culmination of a two-decade long effort to craft Cognacs that are notably more aromatic and flavorful than the norm.

Camus’ Cognacs have always had a reputation for being particularly aromatic. To further enhance that character Camus developed a proprietary distillation protocol, which it calls “Intensity,” that measurably increases the concentration of terpenes and esters in their Cognac, producing what the company describes as an “instant of intensity.”

Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants. They are closely associated with floral aromas. Esters are chemicals produced by the interaction of alcohols and fatty acids, and are closely associated with fruity aromas.

In crafting Intensely Aromatic, the firm utilized older casks made from lightly toasted, fine grained oak. The age and toasting of the casks minimized the aroma and flavor components that were contributed by the cask wood and further enhanced the prominence of fruit and floral aromas.

Producer Description 

A highly earthy Tequila distinctive for its minerality and the forward taste of cooked agave. Our Silver stands out for a touch more sweetness than most tequilas, and presents beautiful notes of citrus. We love that this tequila is spicy and peppery on the tongue and cheeks, but perfectly smooth on the back of the throat.

Producer Description 

Melt into the rich flavor of Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. With a subdued, citric fruitiness and a sweet start, our whisky ends with a lengthy, slightly sour finish. Consider pairing our 86 proof whisky with the provincial olive dish, tapenade, which helps bring out Caol Ila's peaty and salty notes, while the mix of capers and herbs accentuates the citrus flavors. 

Perfect on its own or mixed in a cocktail, our award-winning whisky is best enjoyed when served neat in a rocks glass, adding ice or a splash of water for taste. Includes one 86 proof 750 mL bottle of Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Caol Ila is pronounced “Cull Eela”. For more than 100 years, small coal-fired “puffers” like the SS Pibroch brought barley, coal and empty casks to the distillery, returning her whisky to the mainland through the Sound of Islay.

Today, Caol Ila’s secret bay is only known to true Islay devotees. The barley used here is still malted locally at Port Ellen and pure spring water still rises from limestone in nearby Loch Nam Ban, then falls to the sea at Caol Ila in a clear crystal stream, just as it always has.

Producer Description 

The first Caol Ila 35 year old in this series is the oldest Caol Ila ever bottled from the original distillers. Combining whisky from refill American oak hogsheads and refill European oak butts in a well-balanced and mature expression that shows a fine freshness, cleanliness and precision for its age. Just 3,276 bottles. 

Expert Review

90- 95 Points Wine Enthusiast | No wallflower, this one. The intensity of the bouquet starts right with the pour as waves of prunes and raisins rise from the glass; air contact stirs deeper aromas, most notably orange rind, peppermint and roasted nuts. This rich, heavyweight brandy features layers of flavor, including cocoa, toffee, caramel, cream Sherry and oaky vanilla. Finishes as large and robust as it started.

Producer Description 

Its appearance is bright, transparent dark mahogany with copper glints. 

On the nose it is clean, elegant and well-rounded with hints of the Sherry which seasoned the barrels.

On the palate it is beautifully balanced, warming and smooth while it has a very long finish where all the subtle nuances come together leaving a lasting impression of personality with hints of raisin and prune.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC AGAVE

Long before becoming one of the first to use certified organic agave, our devotion to preserving the land was present in everything we did. From establishing agave fields on a high altitude estate, to making our own compost, we continue giving back to nature because of everything it’s given us.

We nurture and harvest our 100% Blue Weber agave in the rich, volcanic soil of our high-altitude fields, tended to until they reach full maturity.

Producer Description 

Marqués de Casa Noble Añejo Tequila is the pinnacle of tequila-making expertise, born from decades of hard work, passion, and dedication to pursuing true sipping perfection. A blend of carefully selected añejo tequilas, this elegant Casa Noble tequila begs to be sipped and savored, offering complex aromas and flavors to suit the distinguished palate.

Casa Setaro's olive oil is a single varietal oil made of coratina, a typical varietal of Campagna. Like everything Massimo makes, elegance is key. Golden in color with a generous texture, it gives aromas of fresh cut grass. It is soft on the palate with only slight bitterness at the finish.

Situated in the small town of Trecase which sits at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, Casa Setaro is home to a small family run estate of some 12 hectares, with pre-phylloxera holdings and olive groves that benefit tremendously from the rich volcanic soil. The olive oil for this bottling comes from Massimo Setaro’s own Coratina olive trees, and the result is a beautifully textured fruity and grassy olive oil.

A perfect pairing for hearty pastas and rustic breads.

Producer Description

Expert Reviews 

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | Co-owned by actor George Clooney and nightlife impresario Rande Gerber, this blanco is smooth and light. The aromas are restrained, but on the palate look for mild agave sweetness backed by lemon zest, ginger and white pepper sparks, plus a candied lemon-peel note on the gentle exit.

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.

Expert Review - 1958

Wine Enthusiast | Aromas are spirity and oaky, with traces of worn saddle leather and cedar. The palate entry is moderately rich, caramel-like and chewy; at midpalate the taste displays off-dry to bittersweet flavors of nougat, bacon fat and old oak. Ends up warming, nutty.

Producer Description 

Distilled then matured for almost 50 years in Gascony oak barrels, this Bas-Armagnac has a well-rounded nose which combines vanilla and fruity notes, while on the palate it has wonderfully long, lingering aromas of dried fruits, walnut and fig. One of a kind!
