Producer Description 

An elegant, composed and stylishly vibrant spirit that showcases the absolute finesse, purity, definition and elegance of organically grown barley. Late summer barley. Opens on a light almond note with a twist of candied lemon. Followed by the magical aromatics of toasted barley, floral and fruit notes with a hint of lemon honey intermingling beautifully. Toffee sweetness comes from American oak cask and as the spirit opens little drifts of succulent papaya, melon and kiwi can be found. 

The texture is sensational, the spirit gliding over the palate like warm syrup. The taste buds love the purity and the sensational clarity of flavours being presented. A real sweetness on the front palate, barley sugar, honey almonds, green jelly beans, pear drops all splashed with fresh lemons and balanced by the crispness of malted barley. 

An intensity and definition of flavour that is unparalleled. Incredibly fresh giving an unforgettable palate experience that leaves the taste buds tingling and overwhelmed. 

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.

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.

Producer Description 

The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.

During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.

An intense medley of cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate, thickened maple syrup and seasoned oak spiciness. 

Producer Description

Our Small Batch release mash bill is 64 percent corn, 24 percent rye and 12 percent malted barley using our yeast strains.

All of our whiskeys are aged and matured on our 168-acre campus inside any one of our six rickhouses. We have more than 100,000 barrels aging onsite.

Nikka Whisky Days 80 Proof 750ml

Nikka Whisky was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru — the father of Japanese whisky, who studied distillation in Scotland and brought that knowledge home to build one of Japan’s two great whisky empires. Today, Nikka operates two legendary distilleries: Yoichi on Hokkaido’s rugged northern coast, and Miyagikyo in the lush mountain valley of Sendai — each producing whiskies of distinctly different character that the master blenders artfully combine. Nikka Days was created with a clear mission: whisky for every day, approachable and joyful without sacrificing the craft that defines Nikka.

The result is a beautifully balanced blend of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts — silky, floral, and fruit-forward, with a delicate complexity that rewards sipping neat or shines in a Japanese highball. The round bottle and vibrant label are no accident: this is a whisky designed to brighten your day, whatever the occasion.

Producer Description 

Gin flavored with handpicked juniper berries from its Hamptons estate, cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel and anise. The most eye-catching detail about this spirit is definitely its trendy pink color, which winemaker and partner Roman Roth gets by using the vineyard's rosé wine as the base for the gin. Once the rosé is distilled, Roth adds a small amount of grape skin extract to get that subtle pink color.

Cynar (pronounced chee-nar) is one of Italy's most iconic amari — a bittersweet liqueur born in 1952 and named after the artichoke, Cynara scolymus, which gives it its distinctive character. Part of the great Italian tradition of digestive bitters, Cynar is made from a blend of artichoke leaves and 13 carefully selected herbs and botanicals, all 100% natural, infused in an alcohol base. It has become a staple of the global cocktail renaissance, beloved by bartenders for its complex, layered bitterness and remarkable versatility.

The Cynar Liqueur 70 Proof 1.0L delivers Cynar's signature bitter-herbal profile in a generous liter format. The nose is earthy and herbal with a distinctive artichoke bitterness, layered with caramel, dried herbs, and a hint of citrus. On the palate it is rich and complex — bittersweet, slightly vegetal, and deeply satisfying. Traditionally served as a digestif over ice or with soda, it is equally at home in a Cynar Spritz, a Negroni variation, or any cocktail calling for an amaro with real depth and character.

Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Cask — Nassau Valley, Jamaica

Appleton Estate is Jamaica's oldest and most celebrated rum producer — founded in 1749 in the Nassau Valley of St. Elizabeth Parish, where the Black River winds through a lush, fertile valley that has been producing exceptional rum for over 275 years. The estate grows its own sugarcane, mills it on-site, and distills, ages, and bottles entirely on the property — one of the few true estate rums in the world, with complete control over every step of production. The tropical Jamaican climate is one of rum's great natural advantages: the heat accelerates aging, the humidity draws spirit into the wood, and the result is a depth and complexity that would take decades to achieve in a cooler climate. The 12 Year Old Rare Cask is the true expression of master blender Joy Spence's passion and craft — a superb blend of rare, hand-selected rums, each aged for a minimum of 12 years in the tropical Jamaican climate, delivering a smooth and sophisticated expression of what aged Jamaican rum can achieve at its finest.

The nose is rich and inviting: toasted oak, dried fruit, and hazelnut, with layers of complexity that unfold with time in the glass. On the palate, it is smooth and sophisticated — dark cocoa, delicate molasses, orange peel, rich vanilla, and hints of coffee, all in perfect balance. A long, warming finish that speaks to 12 years of patient tropical aging. Sip neat, over a large ice cube, or in a premium cocktail.

The Famous Grouse has been Scotland’s best-selling blended Scotch since 1980 — and for good reason.

Producer Description 

The intense flavors, balanced aroma and medium body give MALA VIDA BLANCO the perfect balance

This product is reminiscent of the old-fashioned way of making tequila, with intense aromas and flavors, highlights of cooked agave, hints of citrus like grapefruit, and fruity notes like apple and canteloupe. Spicy notes include clove and anise.

Recommended pairing: Ideal for dinking by itself, as an aperitif or digestif. It is recommended paired with light foods like fish, seafood, or chicken, although its intensity also mixes well with complex flavors.

Producer Description 

With a mellow yet complex flavor, this rum offers tobacco and leather notes, toasted and smoky. The rounded rum offers a balance that can only be achieved through the Solera method. It is full-bodied while remaining delicate, elegant and velvety. The end evokes attributes borrowed from the oaks in which it aged.

La Gritona | Reposado | 100% Blue Agave | Jalisco Highlands, Mexico | NOM 1533

67Wine Staff Pick — Oscar Garcia Moncada: One of my favorite sipping Reposado Tequilas on the market. Subtle notes of citrus with cooked nopales. Great for sipping or mixed in your favorite cocktails.

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.

Lalo Blanco Tequila 100% Blue Weber Agave

Château de Laubade · Bas Armagnac · VSOP · Gascony, France · 750ml

Château de Laubade is one of the great estates of Bas-Armagnac — the most prestigious sub-region of the Armagnac appellation, located in the heart of Gascony in southwest France. Founded in 1870 and spanning over 400 hectares, Laubade is the largest single-estate producer in the appellation, farming its own vineyards and distilling exclusively on-site using traditional Armagnac alembic stills.

At $42.99, this is one of the most compelling values in aged French brandy.

Producer Description 

Situated within the picturesque Spey valley, Rothes is home to five distilleries all tucked along the tiny main street - unbeknown to passing visitors. Amongst these is Glenrothes hidden in a small glen on the outskirts of the village. 

Today Glenrothes single malt is used as the heart of Cutty Sark blended whisky. Approaching the distillery your eyes are drawn to the right where the village graveyard stretches up the hill. As whisky matures it evaporates, this is known as 'the angels share.' Feeding off the evaporated whisky is a black sooty fungus, which gives an eerie atmosphere to the place. The blackened grave stones under the shadows of tall trees surrounded by distillery buildings.

Tasting Notes: Toasted malt with fruit aromas, hints of green apples and fresh coconut. A subtle salty sea air is also present. Sweet with floral and fruit flavours, banana, and lemonade with a slight walnut edge.
