Expert Review

96 Points Wine Enthusiast | From master distiller Dave Pickerell, this estate-grown, field-to-flask offering makes good use of oloroso Sherry barrels. Look for peach and vanilla aromas, bold raisin and brown sugar flavors and a gentle exit that just hints at Sherry. At nearly 93 proof, the alcohol makes its presence known, so add some water or vermouth if you must. Attractive and substantial squared bottle.

Producer Description 

G4 Tequila Reposado is a premium Mexican tequila that offers a unique and exceptional drinking experience. Crafted with utmost care and attention to detail, this tequila is made from 100% blue agave plants grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

One of the most important aspects of G4 Tequila Reposado is its production process. The agave plants are carefully selected, hand-harvested, and cooked in traditional brick ovens to extract the sweet nectar. The extracted juice is then fermented using natural yeast, which adds complexity and depth to the final product.

After fermentation, the tequila undergoes a double distillation process in copper stills. This method helps to preserve the natural flavors and aromas of the agave, resulting in a smooth and refined spirit.

G4 Tequila Reposado is aged for a minimum of 8 months in American oak barrels, which imparts a rich golden color and adds layers of complexity to the tequila. During this aging process, the flavors of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak are infused into the spirit, creating a harmonious balance between the agave and the wood.

The aroma of G4 Tequila Reposado is inviting and enticing. It offers a delicate blend of cooked agave, citrus, and floral notes, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the tequila is smooth and velvety, with a perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness. The flavors of agave, vanilla, caramel, and oak are beautifully integrated, creating a complex and satisfying taste profile.

G4 Tequila Reposado is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the flavors to fully develop and unfold. It can also be used as a base for premium cocktails, adding depth and character to any mixed drink.

What sets G4 Tequila Reposado apart is its commitment to quality and tradition. The brand is owned by the Sauza family, who have been producing tequila for over 140 years. The master distiller, Felipe Camarena, is a fourth-generation tequila producer and is known for his dedication to preserving traditional production methods while incorporating modern techniques.

Bitter Rosso Liqueur | Torreglia, Veneto / Italy
Size: 750ml  |  ABV: 25% (50 Proof)  

Luxardo has been crafting exceptional Italian liqueurs since 1821, when Girolamo Luxardo founded the distillery in Zara (now Zadar, Croatia) before relocating to Torreglia in the Veneto after World War II. The family’s commitment to traditional recipes and botanical craftsmanship has made them one of the most respected names in the world of Italian spirits — best known for their iconic Maraschino, but equally masterful across their full range.

Deep ruby-red in the glass, it delivers a complex interplay of citrus peel, herbal bitterness, and a gentle sweetness that makes it endlessly versatile. Sip it neat over ice, use it to build a Negroni or Spritz, or explore it as a sophisticated substitute wherever an Italian bitter is called for.

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.

Flavor & Character

The producer describes a fruity sensation of fresh melons, created by extracting the essence of two different Japanese melons using two production methods. Let the melon flavor take center stage in a simple citrus drink, or use it to add a fruity accent to a mixed cocktail.

Producer Description 

The Dos Artes Calavera Anejo Limited Edition stands out not just for its taste but also for its presentation. The bottle is beautifully crafted, showcasing a unique and intricate calavera (skull) design. This design is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, often associated with the Day of the Dead celebrations, making it a sought-after collector's item for many tequila enthusiasts.

Speaking of production, Dos Artes takes pride in their traditional crafting methods. The agave plants, matured for several years, are carefully harvested, cooked, and distilled to produce a tequila that resonates with authenticity. The Anejo variant, in particular, undergoes a longer aging process in oak barrels. This not only imparts a deeper color but also enriches the flavor, distinguishing it from younger tequilas.

Given its limited edition nature, availability might be restricted, and it could command a premium price, especially considering its unique presentation and potential collector's value. Over the years, Dos Artes has been recognized with numerous awards for their tequilas, a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and excellence.

Producer Description 

Mezcal Amaras Cupreata is a unique, artisanal mezcal made from the Cupreata agave, which is native to the mountains of Guerrero, Mexico. This mezcal has a rich, smoky flavor profile with earthy and herbal notes, balanced by a subtle sweetness.

It is crafted using traditional methods, including slow roasting the agave in earthen pits and distilling it in copper stills. The result is a smooth, complex spirit with hints of citrus, agave sweetness, and a long, smoky finish. Ideal for sipping or in cocktails.

French wheat vodka at a price that makes it easy to stock generously. Pinnacle starts with select wheat grain from the Brie region — the same fertile corner of northern France known for its exceptional terroir — five-times distilled to 190 proof, then carefully filtered through charcoal before being brought down to 80 proof with naturally filtered water from northern France. The result is a clean, smooth, and genuinely versatile spirit: neutral enough to disappear into a cocktail, refined enough to sip over ice. The 1.0L format makes it a smart buy for home bars and entertaining alike.
