E.H. Taylor, Jr. | Small Batch Bourbon | Bottled-in-Bond | Buffalo Trace Distillery | Frankfort, Kentucky

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller, businessman, and legislator, Taylor fought tirelessly for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — landmark legislation that established strict federal standards for American whiskey production, protecting consumers and elevating the craft. He purchased what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery nearly three decades before that, implementing innovations still in use today, including climate-controlled aging warehouses such as the iconic Warehouse C, built by Taylor himself in 1885.

The E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery and bottled in strict accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act: aged a minimum of four years, distilled in a single distilling season by a single distillery, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The bottle design pays homage to Colonel Taylor's original packaging from over a century ago — a fitting tribute to the man who made American bourbon what it is today.

The Small Batch opens with lightly toasted oak, dried figs, butterscotch, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, a pleasing sweetness is beautifully balanced by tobacco leaf, dark spices, and a touch of leather. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying — preparing the palate for another sip. A benchmark Bottled-in-Bond bourbon that delivers both history and exceptional quality in every glass.

Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube. Also exceptional in a classic Old-Fashioned or Manhattan.

El Dorado is the flagship rum of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), produced at the legendary Diamond Distillery — the last remaining distillery in Guyana and the sole custodian of the country's extraordinary heritage of wooden pot and column stills. Operating in accordance with the Demerara Rum Geographical Indication, DDL is the guardian of a distilling tradition unlike anywhere else in the world, crafting rums of remarkable depth and character from the rich molasses of the Demerara River region.

The Cask Aged 3 Year White Rum is a blend of two of DDL's most prized marques: Skeldon (SWR) and Blairmont (B), both distilled from molasses in DDL's heritage French Savalle column still. The blend is aged for a minimum of three years in ex-bourbon casks under the tropical heat of Guyana, where accelerated maturation imparts warmth, roundness, and depth far beyond what is typical of the white rum category. The aged spirit is then double filtered through specialized natural charcoal, removing color while preserving the complexity and character developed during barrel aging.

Don't be deceived by its crystalline appearance — this is a white rum with genuine substance. Three years of tropical barrel aging rounds the edges of the spirit and delivers a warmth and depth that sets it apart from the light, neutral expressions that define most white rum. Versatile and robust, it is equally at home in a classic Daiquiri, a Mai Tai, or any cocktail calling for white rum with real character.

The 3 Year opens with inviting aromas of young coconut, buttered popcorn, and banana custard. The palate is oily and generous, echoing the nose with coconut and vanilla bean at the core. The finish is distinctive and lingering, with notes of wood tannin and pandan leaf — a hallmark of Demerara's unique distilling heritage.

Spirit: Demerara White Rum
Producer: Demerara Distillers Limited
Distillery: Diamond Distillery, Guyana
Marques: Skeldon (SWR), Blairmont (B)
Age: Minimum 3 years
Cask: Ex-bourbon barrels, double charcoal filtered
ABV: 40%
Bottle Size: 750ml

Serve: The definitive choice for any cocktail calling for white rum — Daiquiris, Mojitos, Mai Tais, and beyond. Also excellent over ice or neat.

El Dorado is the flagship rum of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), produced at the legendary Diamond Distillery — the last remaining distillery in Guyana and the sole custodian of the country's extraordinary heritage of wooden pot and column stills. Operating in accordance with the Demerara Rum Geographical Indication, DDL is the guardian of a distilling tradition unlike anywhere else in the world, producing rums of remarkable depth, complexity, and character from the rich, dark molasses of the Demerara River region.

The Cask Aged 5 Year is a blend of rums distilled from molasses using two of DDL's most celebrated heritage stills: the French Savalle still and the Enmore wooden Coffey still (EHP). Each still contributes a distinct flavor profile — the Savalle delivering elegance and refinement, the Enmore wooden Coffey adding weight, richness, and the distinctive character that defines classic Demerara rum. The blend is then aged for a minimum of five years in ex-bourbon casks in the tropical heat of Guyana, where the accelerated aging process imparts a maturity well beyond its years.

Five years of tropical aging in the Guyanese climate — where heat and humidity drive exceptional interaction between spirit and wood — produces a rum of remarkable depth and approachability. The result is a spirit that is equally at home sipped neat, over ice, or as the foundation of a serious cocktail program.

The 5 Year opens with inviting aromas of caramel coffee candy, crème brûlée, and birthday cake. On the palate, bold and confectionary notes of toasted coconut, vanilla, and nutmeg take center stage, leading to a warm, lingering finish evocative of frosted cinnamon rolls and hazelnut cream. Rich, indulgent, and beautifully balanced.

Producer Description

El Mero Mero Tobala has fruit on the nose with notes of grapefruit and buttermilk on the palate. They are cultivating Tobala to increase sustainability. El Mero Mero Tobala is made with maguey Tobala that is crushed by tahona, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and distilled in copper.

The arid region of San Dionisio Ocotopec, where this mezcal is made, is known for producing agave with high sugar content, which can come through in the flavor and complexity of the mezcal.

The limestone-rich soil of this region can be harsh on the maguey Tobala, which take 12-15 years to reach maturity in this area. Due to the long maturation times, only small batches of 150-200 bottles of Tobala can be made at once.

El Mexicano is a high-purity blanco tequila crafted from 100% Pure Agave and carefully distilled to preserve the natural, unadulterated character of the agave plant.

A tequila built for those who want the real thing: bold, clean, and unmistakably Mexican.

Crystal clear in the glass, El Mexicano Blanco opens with vibrant fresh agave, citrus, and herbal notes. The palate is crisp and lively with a full-bodied agave presence, bright acidity, and a clean, warming finish that reflects its higher proof with confidence and precision.

“100% Pure Agave, distilled at 90 Proof — El Mexicano Blanco is a bold, expressive blanco for agave purists.”

El Mexicano Tequila Reposado — Jalisco, Mexico 750ml

Under the guidance of Master Tequilero Ing. León Bañuelos Ramírez, El Mexicano Reposado is a 100% Pure Blue Agave tequila of remarkable complexity and craftsmanship. What sets it apart is its dual-barrel aging program — a combination of American oak and French oak barrels — which layers the fruity richness of American wood with the robust depth and elegance of French oak. The result is a reposado of medium-high body, exceptional smoothness, and an aromatic depth that rivals expressions at far higher price points.

Brilliant straw yellow with golden hues, El Mexicano Reposado opens with a buttery malolactic character followed by maple, cranberry, and apricot from the American barrel, and robust wood, tobacco, and vanilla from the French oak. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant — cocoa, refined wood, and a creamy texture that lingers long on the finish with low alcoholic heat and an intense, satisfying aftertaste.

“The smoothness and elegance are present with a medium-high attack, an intense flavor of cocoa, elegant wood, and a creaminess that passes smoothly through the throat with a long aftertaste.” — Ing. León Bañuelos Ramírez, Master Tequilero

Expert Review 

Wine Enthusiast 94 Points | This reposado is rested six years in American oak (more than required for reposado), yet because it was aged in a vessel larger than the 600-liter maximum, it still gets to bear the reposado label. The liquid offers distinctly sweet aromas of vanilla, maple and dried fig. The palate echoes those tones, layering on clove, allspice and cayenne. 

Producer Description 

AWARDED BEST TEQUILA OF THE YEAR BY THE ISC

100% Estate Grown Blue Agave - Aged for a minimum of 8 months in American Oak and blended with 18 month Añejo. A perfectly balanced tequila with real character. A must for all!

Producer Description 

The El Tesoro 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila is not just a drink; it's a celebration of heritage and passion. Crafted to commemorate the 85th anniversary of La Alteña, the home of El Tesoro, this limited edition tequila encapsulates the spirit of two family legacies. In collaboration with Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe, this unique expression is aged in Booker's 30th-anniversary barrels for over three years, resulting in a tequila that is as rich in history as it is in flavor—a perfect homage to the traditions and craftsmanship that have defined El Tesoro for decades.

Every El Tesoro 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila sip takes you on a sensory journey. The nose greets you with the essence of cooked agave, intertwined with notes of cherries, seasoned oak, leather, spices, and sweet hints of molasses, vanilla, toffee, and maple syrup.

This tequila offers an exquisite balance of sweetness and depth, making each tasting a memorable experience.

Expert Reviews

The Wine Enthuisast 96-100 Points |  Elegant nose emits traces of mushrooms, dried herbs and lead pencil with deeper scents of mustard seed, vanilla bean and toffee. Palate is sublimely rich with succulent, brandy/Cognac-like flavors of oak resin, almond butter and tobacco leaf. Finishes Sherry-like and smooth. One of the best Tequilas available. 

El Tesoro Reposado is a benchmark Highlands tequila from one of Mexico's most storied distilling families — the Camarenas of La Alteña Distillery in the Jalisco Highlands. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, slowly crushed by a traditional volcanic stone tahona wheel, and aged 8 to 11 months in American oak barrels — well beyond the two-month legal minimum — this is a Reposado of uncommon depth, texture, and authenticity.

The nose is warm and inviting: cooked agave, vanilla, and toasted oak mingle with a gentle earthiness that speaks directly to the terroir of the Highlands. On the palate, the wine is round and richly layered, with caramel, dried fruit, and a whisper of baking spice, all carried by a long, smooth finish with lingering sweetness. Mellow and balanced, yet never soft — this is tequila with something to say.

The tahona process — labor-intensive and increasingly rare — extracts maximum flavor and complexity from the roasted piñas, yielding a spirit that is earthy, textured, and deeply expressive. A true sipping tequila, best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full character.

Exceptional in a premium Tommy's Margarita or Paloma. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, dark chocolate, and aged cheeses.

Emilio Lustau · Solera Reserva · Brandy de Jerez DO · Andalusia · Spain

Emilio Lustau is one of Jerez’s most celebrated sherry houses — and their approach to Brandy de Jerez is as meticulous as their approach to fino and amontillado. The Solera Reserva is the youngest brandy in the Lustau portfolio, distilled from Airén grapes harvested in central Spain and brought to Jerez for aging in the traditional solera and criadera system — the same method that gives sherry its layered complexity. What sets this brandy apart is the cask seasoning: each barrel was first filled with young Amontillado sherry, which smooths the virgin oak and impregnates the wood with nutty, oxidative character before the brandy ever touches it. Aged an average of three years. Gold Medal Best in Class at the International Wine and Spirits Competition and International Spirits Challenge.

Light amber with greenish reflections, the Solera Reserva opens with aromas of vanilla, toasted wood, orange marmalade, and hazelnuts. On the palate, it is bone dry and smooth — mellow yet intense — with a long, nutty finish that lingers with warmth and elegance. A brandy of genuine craft and exceptional value.

Evan Williams is one of Kentucky's most storied bourbon names — the distillery traces its heritage to 1783, making it one of the oldest continuously operating bourbon producers in America. The White Label Bottled in Bond is their serious whiskey: produced under the strict requirements of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act, meaning it must be the product of a single distillery, a single distillation season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No shortcuts, no blending tricks — just honest, well-made American bourbon.

Expert Review - Vintage 2015

Paul Gregutt from the Wine Enthusiast writes 95 Points | From Draper clone vines planted in 1965, this bright gold-hued wine brings myriad details to its apple, jicama, white peach and nut oil flavors. A whiff of smoke carries throughout, and its sheer complexity strains the vocabulary. Stay with it as more subtle layers unfold. Though seductive now, it should mature well through 2030. — Paul Gregutt 

James Suckling 92 Points | A layered and fresh white with cooked apples, honey and straw. Medium- to full- bodied, creamy and textured wine with fresh and pretty fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Farmer's Organic Gin Small Batch — USA 750ml

Farmer's Gin is one of America's pioneering organic craft gins — a small-batch expression built on the belief that what goes into the bottle matters as much as what comes out.

Complex, aromatic, and genuinely distinctive — this is a gin for those who want more than just juniper in their glass.

The concept is simple and the execution is perfect: the smooth base of Canadian whisky provides the backbone, while the intense cinnamon flavoring delivers that signature fiery kick — sweet up front, hot on the finish, and impossible to forget. Whether you're shooting it ice-cold, mixing it into cocktails, or sipping it straight, Fireball brings the heat every time.

Best served ice-cold as a shot. Also excellent mixed with apple cider, ginger beer, pineapple juice, or cola. Try a Fiery Mule: Fireball, ginger beer, and a squeeze of lime over ice.
