    Four Gate Whiskey Company Split Stave By Kelvin Barrel Proof Straight Kentucky Whiskey (750ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $320. 00
    Bottle
    $3840.00 Dozen
    ABV: 56.5%

    Four Gate Whiskey Company opened in 2018 as a Non Distiller Producer (NDP). The founders never plan to distill, instead, they focus on sourcing the highest quality barrels to age small batch whiskeys and do unique things to them. Managing a consistent flavour profile for a flagship product has been difficult, however, they've finally secured enough whiskey to ensure a steady availability of their core Bourbon for the foreseeable future. It's called 'Split Stave by Kelvin' because of the custom finishing casks they employ. Essentially, the Kelvin Cooperage team dismantle and rebuild a series of medium toasted casks, alternating between toasted staves and #2 char staves on some barrels, and toasted and #4 char staves on others. The name “Split Stave” has become an industry trademark. Four Gate's whiskey is at least seven years old and created from a 75% Corn, 20% Rye and 5% Malted Barley mash bill. 56.5% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... [Batch #10 tasted] Lush cooked dark fruit and dark chocolate aromas, mingling with baking spice, earthen floor, leather, and iced tea hint at what's to come on the palate: chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry jam, a sweep of gingerbread spices, plus fresh mint and zesty dill, all with ample depth. There's no end to the white pepper, mocha, leathery oak, dark chocolate, and candied ginger on the finish, which remains complex and rewarding long after the glass is empty. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    Four Gate Whiskey Company Kelvin Sixty 8 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Kentucky Whiskey (750ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $420. 00
    Bottle
    $5040.00 Dozen
    ABV: 62.8%

    A special release from Four Gate to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Kelvin Cooperage. The business started in Glasgow, Scotland in 1963 and is now based in Louisville, Kentucky, operating a full-service cooperage supplying new and used barrels to wine, spirits, and beer producers around the world.  Since Four Gate started in 2018, Kelvin Cooperage has been instrumental in providing advice, guidance and expertly crafted and sourced barrels of all kinds. To celebrate the collaboration, Four Gate selected eight year old whiskeys (reportedly from Four Roses with a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley), then re-barrelled them in new toasted and charred casks. The resulting double-oaked Bourbon is described as a "Show stopper" and"...a beast of a whiskey. The proof and oaky profile aren’t for the faint of heart...": The label features the logos of both Four Gate Whiskey Company and Kelvin Cooperage. To our knowledge, Four Roses don't do finishes, so if it is from that distillery, it's sure to be a compelling sipper for enthusiasts, with added appeal for collectors alike. 2,340 bottles were produced at 125.6 proof.

    Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $39. 99
    Bottle
    $479.88 Dozen
    ABV: 18%

    Vermouth Rosso is a robust barrel-rested vermouth that complements The Gospel's rye whiskey while highlighting the purity of the grape. Savoury botanicals were carefully selected and blended before resting in x-rye whiskey barrels. The result is an aromatic vermouth, with density of fruit and a balance of bitterness on the palate, perfect for mixing in a Boulevardier or Manhattan. Or simply enjoy on the rocks or serve tall with soda water as a refreshing spritz. 18% Alc./Vol.

    ABV: 46%

    Other reviews... Sweet sherry with a heady spring floral intensity, lemon, honey, and graham crackers, yet delicate as a dandelion seed in a summer breeze. The palate is seductively sweet, with honey, effervescent lemon sherbet, caramel, and spices, showing a little more of the wine, fruit, and hints of citrus. Distinctively different, the finish is initially drying, then the fruit returns with a grapefruit peel sharpness. Terrifically good dram.

    2023 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Rose
    Burgundy, FRANCE
    $59. 99

    $719.88 Dozen
    Cellar: Drink now - 2 Years (2025-2027)
    ABV: 12.5%
    Closure: Diam Cork

    A delicious Burgundian Rose that has wonderful flavour intensity, a silky texture and mildly tangy acidity.

    Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.

    This rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from organically farmed vineyards in and around the Marsannay appellation. Blush pink tinged colour. A mix of strawberry, pomegranate and cherry aromas stream out of the glass with hints of musk and wet stone also evident. Showing excellent intensity of flavour the palate features delicious raspberry, strawberry, cherry and pomegranate fruits which carry a silken feel. Watermelon, delicate musk and wet stone elements sit in the background. Mildly tangy acidity with the long moreish finish gorgeously polished in it’s texture.
    Drink over the next 1-2 years.

    Rich, polished entry with juicy red to black fruits, fresh acidity and a sturdy tannin structure.

    A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Dense midnight black core with a vibrant dark red black tinged hue. Alluring ripe red currant aromas intermix with red liquorice, fresh herb, violet, spicy cedar and delicate earth notes. The rich, polished entry onto the palate is laden with juicy red to black currant and liquorice fruits which meld into a spicy vanillin cedar, dusty earth, delicate graphite and fresh herb infused back drop. Bright fresh acidity enhances the juicy feel with a sturdy tannin structuring lending a gentle muscularity across the long, deeply fruited finish. Delicious drinking now but can also be cellared for a further 6-8 years.

    Other Reviews....

    Full and fruity nose, expressive and ripe, nicely perfumed and expressive. Clean and clear, extremely mineral, graphite, pencil lead and flint stone notes on the palate alongside clear blue fruits, blueberries, blackcurrants and some red summer berries. Super smooth in terms of texture but also quite lean in terms of fruit flavour, this has bite and tang, a touch austere but also really quite juicy and floral too. Needs a bit of time, but feels precise and focussed with grip and intensity. I like the fruitiness, really quite upfront but keeping the liveness and energy. Succulent and nicely sweet touches with juicy acidity. Easy enjoyment, plush, mineral, all in balance. 3.6pH. 12% press wine. A yield of 39hl/ha. Drink 2026-2044.

    Georgina Hindle - Decanter

    One of my favorites this year and surely a wine that punches above its weight, the 2022 Joanin Bécot reveals a perfumed, vibrant bouquet of iris, lilac, dark berries, licorice and violet. Medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, it's lively and juicy with a fresh core of fruit, bright acids and fleshy texture, concluding with a fresh, ethereal and mouthwatering finish. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is a real success and worth hunting down. Drink 2025-2032.

    Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    I loved the 2022 Château Joanin Bécot, a juicy, lively, nicely balanced Castillon that has perfumed red fruits as well as the classic mineral and floral nuances of the region. It's medium-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great finish. The blend is 80/20 Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the cooler, limestone Castillon region east of Saint-Emilion, and this beauty will drink well for 10-15 years if well stored. Readers could do much worse than a case of this in the cellar. Drink 2025-2040.

    All styles, all price points – Bleasdale does it all so well. This is tip-top with its upfront fruit flavours, spiced plums and black cherries, a touch of kirsch, too. It’s spicy, very juicy and tangy, super vibrant with just enough fruit tannins to add more shape to its barely medium-bodied palate. Nice one. Drink by 2031.

    Made from estate vines planted in 1972 above the tunnel dug into the limestone a century ago to grow mushrooms. That’s another story. This spent 18 months in French oak, with about 15% new. There’s a savoury elegance to this, while also having intensity and power. Cedar and currant, cassis and mulberry, tobacco leaf and briary herbal notes. It’s a little up from mid-weight, composed and with a serious core of tannin. This promises to mellow well with age, with a charming old-school ‘claret’ feel to it. Drink by 2034.

    ABV: 23%

    The brand famous for its rye whiskies is branching out under sub-label "The Dispensary". This addition started out as an in-house experiment, inspired by classic Italian bitters but with a local Melbourne twist. Deep citrus notes are softened with floral and fresh fruit sweetness creating a blend to be consumed in the Summer months. “You could say Rye Whiskey is our first love, but seriously, who doesn’t love a spritz in the park on a sunny Melbourne afternoon?” says Andrew Fitzgerald, Co-Founder of The Gospel. For a boozier cocktail, pair it with The Gospel Solera Rye in a Boulevardier, or add extra depth and complexity to a Negroni. Or simply serve tall with soda water and an orange wedge. 23% Alc./Vol.

    One in a series of 'character' themed malts from Tria Prima, each represented by artwork from artist, Matt Kavanagh. 'The Shaman' is aged in x-Bourbon casks, initially revealing hints of green wood, white pepper and faint grassiness on the nose before settling into thick malt and vanillas. The richness repeats on the palate as tea biscuits and cream sponge cake with a moderate spirit kick. Sweet malt and dark chocolate complete the finish. A mainstream profile for a Bourbon matured dram - also unusually elegant for Australian whisky. 46% Alc./Vol.

    Marananga-sourced grenache … pretty close to the border of where the dialect changes and the old-timers call the grape 'Greeeeeen-ash'. A gentle ruby in the glass. It's a pretty-smelling little thing. All cherries and wild strawberry. Raspberry too, with hints of citrus blossom, gingerbread, rose petals, exotic spice, charcuterie, earth and distant glimpses of sarsaparilla. Airy and spacious with lots of detail, a vivid minerally tension and a chalky, savoury sour cherry sheen to its passing. Drink by 2030.

    $220. 00
    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    Batch #1 of The Enchantress was a vatting of two 100 litre McWilliam's Apera casks, scraped and given a low char. We assume a similar process was employed for batch #2. The aromas are softer than 'The Shaman' release; On the palate, the sherry quietly spoken, in balance with a general malt'n'chocolate drive. Subtle dried apricot juiciness lifts the finish while warming spirit and buzzing spices bring vibrancy, carrying the aftertaste. An approachable all-rounder where the wine influence never overwhelms the malt. 46% Alc./Vol.

    $395.88 Dozen

    Champagne, Brandy, Wine... each has its own glass. Yet whisky, arguably the world's most complex spirit can be found served in anything from highball tumblers to Paris goblets. It's a bit like pouring your vintage champagne into a pint tumbler or your XO brandy into a shot glass! It will be news to some, but the perfect glass for whisky has been around for some time. Raymond Davidson conceived it some twenty years ago, but it remained but an idea at the bottom of a filing cabinet. After adequate maturation, his sons Paul and Scott decided to take his design to the people who know best... the master blenders! With their help and support they were able to take the glass around the world and promote it as “the Glass for whisky”, developed by the whisky industry for the whisky industry.

    Its roots lie in the traditional nosing glasses used by blenders around the world. The unique and stylish shape has been crafted with eminent care, to enhance the enjoyment of whisky.The tapering mouth allows an ease of drinking not associated with traditional nosing glasses whilst capturing the aromas on the nose. The wide bowl allows for the fullest appreciation of the whisky's colour and the solid base is designed to be easy on the hand. Today the Glencairn Glass can be found at every distillery in Scotland, Ireland, Wales as well as most in the USA. It has won accolades from around the world including the Queen's Award, the highest award for business in the UK.  Of it, the late Michael Jackson, whisky author said 'I hope that it becomes a badge of connoisseurship for fine whiskies in general.'

    Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey (1000ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $139. 99
    Bottle
    $1679.88 Dozen
    ABV: 50.5%

    "Possibly the most overlooked bottle in Wild Turkey’s lineup, barrels of Kentucky Spirit are consistently good, and sometimes fantastic..." - breakingbourbon.com

    When it was released in 1994, Kentucky Spirit was at the forefront of Bourbon, reported to be only the second single barrel bourbon to hit the market after Blanton’s.The 101 proof release is drawn from a single barrel, which means no two will be exactly alike. The challenge is to find single barrels that capture the essence of Wild Turkey, while also maintaining a consistency that gives each taste of Kentucky Spirit a similar flavour from batch to batch. Every bottle is handsomely packaged with a label bearing the barrel number, date and warehouse number. In the context of the entire portfolio, this is the bottling that has the potential to bring out the best of Wild Turkey at what is arguably the distillery’s ideal proof. 50.5% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews...  Kentucky Spirit probably won’t be many bourbon drinkers’ first experience with Wild Turkey, but it should hold a place on every more experienced bourbon drinker’s shelf. Given the right barrel and enough attention to its subtle nuances, Kentucky Spirit can offer a glimpse into some of the best the distillery has to offer. - breakingbourbon.com

    ...bottled at the proof that Wild Turkey was designed to be. A deeply-woody spiced nose featuring cinnamon and caramel advertises a power punch whiskey, but on the palate there's no punch. Instead, it's lush, round, and affable, with deep caramel and cinnamon co-mingling with peanut. The lush, sweet start is well-balanced by cinnamon spice, which ramps up and drives a long spicy finish. This is delicious whiskey. 91 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    Beautiful deep amber color. Lavish aromas of a cornucopia of dried fruits, vanilla maple fudge, Demerara sugar, and artisan chocolate toffee with a supple, lightly tannic full body and long,warming anise, toasted grain, and dusty mineral finish. A powerful oak driven, yet elegant bourbon. 94 points (Exceptional)

    The winemaker uses the term "affable" to describe what he is aiming for. Affable it most certainly is. Nero d'Avola makes the running with its luscious raspberry, cherry fruits and herbs, while shiraz brings the spice and depth. The third player, durif, adds a dark, brooding tannic presence. Together they bring energy and fruit power to a supple, ripe and beautifully composed wine. A unique Aussie blend worth searching out. Drink by 2038.

    A generously fruited Negroamaro that’s both juicy and chewy in it’s feel.

    Matané sources Negroamaro from various vineyards between the towns of Manduria and Lecce, very close to the heel of the boot on the Salento Peninsula. This southernmost part of Puglia is also Italy’s easternmost area with dark red soils and abundant Mediterranean sunshine. The climate is mild in winter, with adequate rainfall, but it is also very hot in summer with little rainfall. This wine represents the new winemaking approach in Puglia, with more moderate alcohol levels and gentler extractions. Negroamaro loves hot and dry conditions, and it grows particularly well in the calcareous, high-limestone soils of the area.
    Deep black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Elevated morello cherry, liquorice and black plum aromas mix with whiffs of vanilla, scorched earth and cinnamon spice. Rich morello cherry, black plum, liquorice and vanilla flavours are both juicy and chewy in their feel. Some earth and cinnamon spice elements linger across the back half. Ripe sturdy tannin structure with a generously fruited mid length finish.

    Punt e Mes Bitter Red Vermouth (750ml)
    ITALY

    Bottle
    $599.88 Dozen
    ABV: 16%

    Following the successful release of Carpano Antica Formula vermouth, we had customers searching for another of Carpano's creations, Punt e Mes. Like Antica Formula, Punt e Mes is a vermouth of outstanding quality, but features a dramatically different flavour profile. Whilst the two share a similar, sweet luxurious palate entry, Carpano's back palate is sweet, soft and luscious, while the back palate of Punt e Mes offers very bitter flavours similar to Campari. Best consumed in cocktails that require some bitterness and spice to balance sweetness, or with ice and soda before dinner. 16% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Cola brown in color and dense with flavor, the venerable Punt e Mes is pretty much at the end of the line in the world of sweet vermouth. As brand owner Branca puts it, “The story goes that back in 1870 a stock broker, caught up in a debate with a few colleagues at Bottega Carpano, ordered a vermouth laced with half a dose of quina liqueur using a Piedmont dialect expression: ‘Punt e Mes’ (roughly translatable as ‘one and a half’).” ...Punt e Mes blurs the line between a sweet vermouth and an amaro. The nose is intensely bitter, with just a trace of sweetness to it. On the body, bitter orange, cloves, and quinine dominate before giving way to a finish that’s loaded with coffee, cola, and ample prune notes. Hints of cinnamon, some sweeter citrus notes — both lemon and orange — and a touch of gingerbread also emerge from time to time. The finish is just about equally bitter and sweet, which is quite a remarkable feat, actually. Not a vermouth to be trifled with, Punt e Mes is best experienced in moderation in cocktails that demand — or deserve — complexity. - drinkhacker.com

    Billecart-Salmon Le Rose is considered the reference point for non vintage Rose Champagne. It consistently outshines other houses in terms of both quality and value for money. Previously labelled as simply Brut Rose Champagne, the blend has been fine tuned and now consists of 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. Aging takes place on lees for 36 months and the blend includes 50% reserve wines (an increase of 10% on it’s former incarnation) sourced across 15 different vintages. It is also slightly drier with the dosage reduced down from 9 g/l to 4.7 g/l

    Your go-to Rose Champagne for this festive season.

    Pours with a frothy mousse that slowly subsides into a salmon pink coloured base that’s finely threaded by a steady stream of bubbles. Buoyant aromatics of strawberry, yeast lees and citrus fill the nostrils followed by hints of baked bread and chalky mineral notes. A chorus of mouth watering yeast lees, strawberry and white peach flavours are sculptured by vivid acidity which lends a racy feel. Baked bread, delicate almond, ginger and mineral elements sit in the background. The lingering dry, chalk tinged finish providing plenty of stimulation for the senses.

    The 2016 Cristal is a gracious, elegant Champagne, as it has always been. Floral accents with light tropical overtones distinguish a Cristal that is especially lifted in style.

    The 2016 Champagne Cristal is chalky and pristine, with a crystalline nature and notes of white peach, fresh citrus blossoms, and bright salinity. Tasted for the first time last year, it captures a precise and focused energy that’s unmatched. It boasts the energy and tension of 2002 and the precision of 2008. The wet-stone minerality of fresh chalk texture is profound, opening with medium body, showing pinpoint mousse, and sustaining a weightless energy through the long finish. This is not an obvious wine on opening, but it is by far one of my favorite wines of the year. It is going to require some patience, but it is worth stashing away and should have fantastic longevity. Drink 2027-2050.

    Audrey Frick – JebDunnuck.com

    The finest rendition since 2013, the 2016 Cristal has turned out beautifully. A vintage that Lecaillon describes as “difficult in the vineyards but beautiful in the cellar,” it had suffered slightly in reputation due to the gloomy mood during the challenging growing season, but the results are indeed impressive. The fifth edition produced entirely from organically farmed and certified fruit, and heavily based on Pinot Noir, the 2016 represents the contemporary quality of Cristal, combining the concentration of 2002 with the precision and cut of 2013. Disgorged in July 2024 with a dosage of seven grams per liter, it opens in the glass to reveal a bouquet of lemon zest, white flowers and peeled almond, framed by youthful reduction. On the palate, it is bright and electric, with a pure core of fruit, pinpoint mousse and a textural attack, concluding with a long, saline finish. Drink it alongside the 2015, and it will illuminate its clarity and integration. Drink 2027-2056

    This leads with pronounced minerality on the nose, but then a bright burst of tangerine, blood orange and Meyer lemon flavors on the palate hold sway, joined by rich hints of crème de cassis, toast point, pastry cream and crystallized honey.

    A crisp, zingy dry white with zesty lime, green apple and pear fruits.

    Jim Barry’s love affair with the Assyrtiko began in 2006 whilst on holiday on the Greek Island of Santorini, the birthplace of the variety. Its crisp acidity reminded him of Clare Valley Riesling yet it had a unique flavour profile that he had not experienced before. Intrigued, he began the process of importing cuttings and by 2012 had planted Australia’s first Assyrtiko vineyard.
    Brilliant water like core with a greenish tinged outskirts. Jumping out of the glass at the nose are intense pear, red apple and lime scents followed by some fresh herb and subtle stony mineral notes. Zesty lime, green apple and pear fruits race across the mouth watering palate with infusions of fresh herbs, wet stone and minerals the undercard.

    Sleek, supple and powerful with a long spicy finish.

    Fruit was sourced from Dalrymple’s own vineyards at Pipers River and Coal River Valley along with growers in Swansea and Ouse. Utilising a variety of blocks, different clones and slightly different aspects each of these sites made its own unique contribution to the final blend. The cooler northern maritime location at Pipers River produces Pinot Noir that is focused and structured, while the Coal River Valley in the south adds texture and softness to the mid-palate. Five to twenty five percent whole bunches were included depending on the site and maturation took place in French oak barriques (20% new) for a period of 9 months.
    Red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a red hue. Intense red to dark cherry, strawberry and violet aromas flood the nostrils with some rhubarb, brambly cedar, dried herb, forest floor and spice notes lending further complexity. Sleek and supple in it’s flow, the palate is layered with dark cherry, anise and strawberry flavours. Notions of forest floor, subtle brambly cedar, dried herbs and spice lend further complexity.

    Rich, full and generous in the mouth with a long fluffy textured finish.

    Seppelt has a rich history dating back to the 1890’s, being a global pioneer of the uniquely Australian wine style, Sparkling Shiraz. Although precise records are scarce, it is believed that Charles Pierlot, working at Hans Irvine’s Cellars (which became Seppelt in 1918), experimented with producing some of Australia’s earliest ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ wines in 1892. 
    An amply endowed dark red tinged mousse sits atop a midnight black dark red tinged core that has a very fine and nimble stream of bubbles flowing through it. Pronounced aromas of dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate flood the olfactory senses followed by some vanillin oak and earthy mocha notes. Mouth filling ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits engulf the palate with notions of dark chocolate, vanillin oak and subtle earth extending across the back half. Concentrated and voluminous it has a long fluffy textured finish.

    Pikes have long produced one of Clare Valley’s benchmark Rieslings, 2025 marking the 41st release, one which was marked by frost and drought, yielding smaller crops but fruit with incredible purity. Fruit is sourced predominately from the Estate’s Polish Hill River vineyard with the balance coming from growers located in the Watervale, Sevenhill, Leasingham and Mintaro districts. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel on lees for 3 months.
    Brilliant water like core with green tinted edges. Aromas of lime and citrus leap out of the glass followed by some green apple, orange rind, talc and chalky mineral notes. Concentrated lime, citrus and green apple fruits drive the zesty palate with subtle orange rind, chalky talc and steely mineral elements extending across the back half. Crisp, taut line of acidity with a long, tense, laser sharp finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.
    Alc. 11%

    Other Reviews……
    The test of a good vineyard is often how well it performs in challenging years, and 2025 was certainly a challenging one. Yet the wine has emerged as something of a triumph. It’s a Clare Valley wine and produced with 100% free-run juice, then kept on lees for about three months, introducing a level of texture to the keenly edged palate. The perfumed mix of lemons and lime is evident immediately, and then the palate displays that subtle tension through the acid and a fine minerality that extends through to the finish. It never fails to disappoint, and it’s another excellent example of what Pikes can do. Drink 2025-2035.
