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.

Glenmorangie · The Lasanta 15 Year Old · Highland Single Malt Scotch · 750ml

Glenmorangie The Lasanta 15 Year Old is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky with a Sherry cask finish. This listing is for the 15-year-old expression in a 750ml bottle.

The existing producer description and Wine Enthusiast review below describe the earlier 12-year-old expression. They are preserved as historical references only; their tasting notes, maturation schedule and 93-point score should not be read as an assessment of this 15-year-old bottling.

Producer Description · Historical 12-Year-Old Expression

Supplied producer description, 12-year-old expression: This is the 12 year old, Sherry cask finished expression from Glenmorangie, dubbed The Lasanta. It first matures in bourbon casks before being moved over to Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks for a finishing period. Plenty rich and creamy with dark chocolate, dried fruit and fresh honey.

Expert Review · Historical 12-Year-Old Expression

Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points (12-year-old expression): Aged in Bourbon casks for 10 years, then "extra matured? for two years in Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is luxe and rich, a fine after-dinner sipper. Allow a little time for the aroma to emerge, and a splash of water for maximum flavor. The reward is a thick caramel aroma and flavor, with mouthwatering spicy notes of clove, cassia bark and a hint of orange peel.

Serving Suggestions

Try a small pour neat, then add a few drops of water to find your preferred balance. As a general single malt pairing idea, serve alongside dark chocolate or toasted nuts after dinner.

Expert Reviews

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points, Kara Newman, March 1, 2020: Vanilla and caramel aromas invite. The palate echoes those flavors up front, evolving into lemon and grapefruit peel midpalate. The finish is drying and brisk, with a flurry of baking spice plus a mild herbaceous note. Versatile workhorse for cocktails, including its namesake.

Whisky Advocate, 91 Points: Fresh orange, raspberry, caramel candy corn, cotton candy, and lemon aromas, with a hint of fresh banana. On the palate, smooth, spiced, and fruity, with notes of candied watermelon, cherry hard candy, and overall candied sweetness, with a dash of pepper spice. The finish is smooth, with muted sweetness and fruit notes of raspberry sorbet—spicy but well-textured and of medium length, with a great veneer of softness and emerging spice.

Serving Suggestions

Try it in its namesake Sazerac cocktail, or use its vanilla, citrus and spice character in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For a simpler serve, enjoy over ice or with a little water to suit your taste.

Rowan's Creek Willet Distillery Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Rowan’s Creek is produced by the legendary Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — one of the most respected craft bourbon operations in the country, family-owned by the Kulsveen family and deeply rooted in Kentucky distilling tradition. Named after the creek that runs through the Willett property, Rowan’s Creek is bottled at 100.1 proof and non-chill filtered, preserving the full texture and complexity of the spirit exactly as it comes off the still. This is a serious, well-crafted bourbon built for those who want more than the standard shelf.

Rich, oily, and layered — Rowan’s Creek opens with an inviting nose of caramel and vanilla over herbal and floral notes, then delivers a full, complex palate that finishes dry with lingering oak and spice. Non-chill filtration gives it a mouthfeel that is distinctly lush and satisfying, especially neat or with a single large ice cube.

"Bringing your nose to the glass and your olfactory is treated to caramel and vanilla layered on herbal and floral notes. The mouthfeel starts oily but finishes dry. On the palate you are treated to sweet caramel, vanilla, dusted in floral notes… finishing notes of oak and a lingering spiciness." — Willett Distillery

Producer Description 

Orchard fruit notes are common to both Calvados and Scotch malt whisky. Many Calvados producers double-distil in pot stills, just like their Scottish cousins. Maturation in French oak is another aspect of their shared DNA.

These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.

Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin. 

We think you’ll agree that these two spirits really do have an affinity for one another.

Winemaker Description 

Kurokame Is A Surprising Imo Shochu Made With 'Purple' Satsuma Sweet Potatoes. These Potatoes Have A Robust Reddish Purple Skin, But Are A Pale Yellow Inside. It Is Distilled Traditionally In Earthen Pots (Kame) Using Black Koji (Kuro Koji). Thus The Name, Kurokame ? 

Or Black Stone Pot.

Kurokame Has A Surprisingly Neutral Nose. Imos Tend To Smell Like Fresh Dirt In A Good Way. This Imo Smells More Subtle. Almost A Roasted Essence. The Initial Palate Is Spicy With A Rich Sweetness. And Then The Roast Hits. A Roasted Wheat Flavor. The Roast Holds Along With A Hint Of Sweet Spiciness Throughout the Finish.

Producer Description 

Caribbean Cask has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. To create the ideal finish, Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches.

The result is an exceptional single malt whisky with the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie, married with notes of toffee and a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish. Rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes. Rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time. Soft and lingering.

Expert Review 

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | After regular maturation, this Scotch is extra matured in former rum casks. The end result layers rich, mouth-coating dried apricot, honey and Sherry notes on top of Balvenie s usual caramel and light peat profile. It finishes flavorful, though with a distinct burst of alcohol warmth.

Basil Hayden's | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Clermont, Kentucky | 80 Proof

The story of Basil Hayden's begins in 1796, when Basil Hayden Sr. — a Maryland-born distiller who learned his craft from rye whiskey traditions — led a group of Catholic families from Maryland to Nelson County, Kentucky. When he began distilling in Kentucky, Hayden kept a higher percentage of rye in his mash bill than the other Kentucky distillers of his era, resulting in a smoother, spicier, more distinctive bourbon that was unmistakably his own.

Today, Basil Hayden's is produced by Beam Suntory at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky — part of the Small Batch Bourbon Collection alongside Knob Creek, Booker's, and Baker's. It remains true to Hayden's original vision: a high-rye mash bill bourbon bottled at a gentler 80 proof (40% ABV), making it one of the most approachable and food-friendly bourbons in the American whiskey landscape.

The nose is inviting and refined — vanilla, light caramel, dried fruit, and a hint of peppery rye spice. On the palate, smooth and mild with a balanced interplay of vanilla, light oak, and warm spice, with a clean, gentle finish. Approachable enough for new whiskey drinkers, nuanced enough for the seasoned connoisseur.

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Also excellent in a classic Old-Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, or Manhattan.

• Distillery: Jim Beam Distillery / Beam Suntory
• Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
• Mash Bill: High-rye
• Region: Clermont, Kentucky, USA
• Alcohol: 40% ABV (80 Proof)
• Bottle Size: 750ml

Winemaker Description 

Made with yeast extracted from the Sanuki olive native to the region, this hyperlocal sake showcases the best of Kagawa in a one-of-a-kind bottling.

Juicy notes of musk melon, white flowers and green pear with hints of starfruit, grass and salinity.

Try with salad with carrot ginger dressing, coconut crab curry or spring pea & mint gazpacho. 

Our Professional Review

A unique expression of sake made with olive yeast.  Beautiful white fruits and floral notes backed by lovely herbal and savory notes.

Rand Sieger, 67Wine: This is a heady sake with deep, rich umami flavors and bright acidity, perfect for matching the richness of fatty fish like otoro, salmon, or mackerel.  The honjozo style relies on the addition of a small amount of brewer's alcohol to create a smoother, lighter sake with heightened aromatic complexity.

Producer Description 

One of our most limited production items, Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye continues the legacy of America’s first whiskey variety (rye) from America’s first whiskey company (Michter’s, originally known as Shenk’s).

No pretension, no shortcuts — just a full, smooth American bourbon with real character.

Warm, approachable, and easy-drinking, Jesse James delivers a classic bourbon profile that works equally well neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a strong cocktail. At $22.99 for 750ml, it’s one of the better value bourbons on the shelf.

"I may be the driving force that makes Jesse James Whiskey available, but it belongs to and is a salute to all of us outlaws who bust our knuckles 40 or 50 hours a week, and like to do things loud, proud, hard, and honest." — Jesse James Dupree

The light character of Glenkinchie Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is born from its distillation in some of Scotland’s largest stills.

The Glenkinchie's generous nature is accentuated by a delightful winey essence that contributes to a fuller-bodied, dry, spicy and fruity flavor profile. This enhances the grassy undertones of the regular release, making it a truly appealing whiskey.

Juicy, lifted and wonderfully expressive.
Assemblage 4 brings a more playful and vibrant dimension to IWA 5, combining generous texture with remarkable freshness. Notes of marzipan, citrus zest, sansho and fennel unfold across a sake that feels energetic, precise and beautifully composed.

With Assemblage 4, IWA continues to explore the possibilities of assemblage through contrast and balance. There is richness here, but it is never heavy. Instead, the sake moves effortlessly across the palate, with bright aromatics and savory complexity creating a sense of constant motion.

The nose opens with delicate notes of marzipan and fresh citrus zest, followed by the distinctive aromatic lift of sansho pepper. As the sake develops, subtle herbal and anise-like tones of fennel emerge, adding freshness and complexity.

On the palate, Assemblage 4 is juicy, supple and energetic. Its rounded texture is balanced by a lively, finely structured freshness that keeps the sake focused from beginning to end. Citrus and spice carry through the finish, leaving a clean, savory and mouthwatering impression.

The result is a Junmai Daiginjo that feels both sophisticated and spontaneous — expressive enough to enjoy on its own, yet versatile and dynamic at the table.

Style: Juicy · Dancing · Marzipan · Sansho · Citrus Zest · Fennel

Serving: Serve lightly chilled. Particularly rewarding with food, and worth allowing to develop in the glass as its temperature slowly rises.

Assemblage 4 captures IWA's signature sense of harmony while introducing an especially lively, vibrant and gastronomic personality.

Producer: IWA 5  |  Region: Toyama, Japan  |  Type: Junmai Daiginjo  |  Volume: 720ml

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points | No shrinking violet, this copper penny-hued Scotch hits the nose and palate with a robust but harmonious mix of toffee and peat smoke, in equal measures, finishing dry and spicy. Darkest is an apt description for a whiskey partly matured in former oloroso Sherry casks, which adds deep, raisiny tones.
