Producer Description - Voyage 28

OCEAN Voyage 28 made another long run off the Baja Peninsula, through the Tropic of Cancer and down the coast of Central America. The air was hot and heavy with moisture. Rain would have been a relief but it never came.

Our transit back through the Panama Canal was swift and smooth and while it remained hot and sticky, our final days through the Caribbean and up the Atlantic coast were smooth and clear.

The humidity, dramatic swings in temperature and ever-changing sea conditions had the effect of bringing balance and richness to the complex array of flavors and tastes you will find in OCEAN Voyage 28. 

Warehouse stored item - please allow 3-5 business days to fulfull.

Intensely rich yet subtly sweet. With immense smoke and notes of sea salt and spice, this is a vigorous whisky that stands out from the crowd. An explosion of peppery, peaty heat, soothed by a honeyed sweetness. Double Gold- San Francisco Spirits Competition

One of the boldest rye whiskeys on the American frontier — Bulleit 95 Rye is built on a 95% rye mash bill, making it among the highest-rye expressions commercially available. Aged between 4 and 7 years in American oak, it delivers the assertive spice and character that define the frontier whiskey tradition, balanced by a surprising smoothness at 90 proof.

The nose opens with warm malt and a buttery richness before giving way to flavors of cookie dough, juicy lemon, and a clean, lingering rye bite. It's a whiskey that works equally well neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a serious cocktail.

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.

About Jameson Irish Whiskey

The world's best-selling Irish whiskey, Jameson was originally distilled in Dublin when John Jameson founded his distillery in 1780. Today it is produced at the highly versatile Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. The Jameson range comprises a comparatively high percentage of pot still spirit, giving it greater character and complexity than many other Irish whiskeys.

Tasting Notes

The nose offers an inviting combination of floral notes, orange, toffee, sherry, and spice. Water releases cooked fruits and a suggestion of linseed. On the palate, initially citric with classic Irish oiliness, deeper notes of sherry develop alongside fudge, vanilla, and warm spice. The finish is long, warming, and spicy — remaining smooth and oily to the very end.

Serve & Enjoy

Perfect neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of a classic Jameson & Ginger, Irish Coffee, or Whiskey Sour. Approachable for newcomers and rewarding for seasoned whiskey drinkers alike.

Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 41.7% ABV

Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is one of the most distinctive and misunderstood bottles in American whiskey — and one of the most rewarding. Unlike Bourbon, which by law must be aged in new, charred American oak, Michter’s Unblended American is aged in used, whiskey-soaked barrels, producing a spirit that sits in its own category: richer, more spirit-forward, and free from the constraints of any legal definition. Crucially, it never contains grain neutral spirits — hence the “unblended” distinction that sets it apart from blended American whiskeys. In late 2013, Master Distiller Willie Pratt re-released the U.S. 1 after a nearly three-year absence, declaring it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.”

The nose is warm and generous: caramel popcorn, butterscotch, and dried fruits with a gentle lift of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable — the used-barrel aging delivering a rounder, more mellow character than a typical Bourbon, with a long, warming finish that rewards slow sipping. A whiskey that defies easy categorization and rewards the curious drinker.

“Just right — the best it’s ever been.” — Willie Pratt, Master Distiller, Michter’s Distillery

• Producer: Michter’s Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
• Style: Unblended American Whiskey — not legally a Bourbon
• Aging: Used, whiskey-soaked oak barrels (not new oak)
• No grain neutral spirits — “unblended” by definition
• ABV: 41.7% (83.4 Proof)
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Caramel popcorn, butterscotch, dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, smooth and warming finish
• Best Served: Neat or on the rocks — or in an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour
• Food Pairings: Smoked brisket, pecan pie, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, roasted nuts

Smooth, distinctive, and impossible to categorize — Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is the benchmark for what American whiskey can be outside the rules.

The nose opens with heather honey, sweet peat smoke, and a delicate waft of beeswax — complex yet inviting. On the palate, flavors of warm honey, soft vanilla, and a whisper of citrus fruit unfold with a gentle smokiness that lingers into a long, smooth finish.

• Distillery: Dalwhinnie, Scottish Highlands
• Age: 15 Years
• Size: 750ml

Producer Description 

Quinta Ruban 14 year has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

Expert Review

Whisky Advocate 92 Points | This Quinta Ruban succeeds the 12 year old version, adding two additional years of finishing in port casks, while maintaining the same bargain price. The result is a symphony of understated opulence. Marzipan, fresh apple and pear, milk chocolate, red berries, candied ginger, and praline on the nose build slowly, leading into a fruity, spiced palate. Flavors of soft gingerbread, molasses cake, cherry pie, spiced plums, almond nougat, and dark chocolate intermingle with faint strains of pipe tobacco. It sings on the finish, with a parting crescendo of hazelnut, spice, cigar wrapper, and lengthy oak.

— The Famous Grouse

Serve: Neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water or ginger ale.

Producer Description 

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond is crafted to honor a watershed moment in bourbon history – the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This expression follows the Bottled in Bond standards that whisky must be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery and bottled at 100 Proof.

The concept behind these regulations – the idea of ‘sealed in quality’ – was something Old Forester introduced in 1870, as America’s First Bottled Bourbon.

Producer Description 

Bright gold. Aromatic with notes of vanilla, cut flowers and beneath, a clean, toasty note. Increasingly sweet and creamy, with fresh citrus, lemon cheesecake. Light and smooth body. A crisp mid-palate then butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias. The finish is herbal and drying, a little like potpourri.

This subtly sophisticated Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a superb pre-dinner drink; try it with a few drops of water.

Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey — Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA (1.0L)

Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling American whiskey — and one of the most iconic spirits brands on earth. Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee, the distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and has been producing Old No. 7 from the same limestone cave spring water source for over 150 years. What sets Tennessee Whiskey apart from bourbon is the Lincoln County Process — a distinctive charcoal mellowing step in which the new spirit is slowly dripped through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel, removing harsh notes and imparting the signature smoothness that defines Jack Daniel's character. The whiskey is then matured in handcrafted, new American oak barrels with a balance of sweet and oaky flavor, developing the vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood notes that have made Old No. 7 the benchmark of the category. In 1.0L format, it is the ideal bottle for home bars, entertaining, and cocktail making.

The nose is smooth and inviting: pronounced vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of caramel with the gentle sweetness of the charcoal mellowing process. On the palate, it is silky and balanced yet lush and intense — sweet oak, vanilla, and a warm, lingering finish with just the right amount of spice. A gorgeous iteration from America's top whiskey brand.

Expesrt Review

95 Points Wine Enthusiast | The succulent aroma develops with aeration in the sweet forms of barley, cream, light caramel, and a trace of tropical fruit. Palate entry is round, borderline plump, breakfast-cereal sweet, and honeyed; at midpalate, there's a slightly oily peat smoke. Sweetly concludes with the focus on the malt. Best Buy. Range: 90-95.
