Hendrick's Grand Cabaret Gin (700ml)

SCOTLAND
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 43.4%

No.4 in Drinkhacker's Top 10 Gins of 2024.
Other reviews... Hendrick’s Gin and its Cabinet of Curiosities line of special editions continues with this fifth release, Grand Cabaret, the first wandering of master distiller Lesley Gracie into the world of stone fruits as botanical ingredients. You won’t miss those stone fruits — they’re evident from the moment you pour the gin from the bottle. On the nose, bold notes of cherry and peaches are prominent, evoking fruit brandy more than any gin you might be imagining. Some blossom elements provide a slight break from the exuberant fruit notes, but they are comparably mild in relation to the bolder, juicy fruit quality. The palate holds no surprises: Slightly sweet, it’s a fruit bomb that again drops a torrent of peach, cherry, and some tropical elements on the imbiber. Florals are present mainly in the form of lilac and lavender, with orange and cherry blossom also in the mix. Juniper and the signature cucumber of standard Hendrick’s aren’t notable here until the finish emerges, where some gentle green herbaceousness finally shows its face. Still: Red fruit dominates, through and through. As gins go, this will be far afield from anything remotely familiar to most, but it’s certainly charming as a diversion and works very well in long drinks (think soda, cranberry juice, Prosecco, or ginger ale — or a combination of these). Whatever you do, don’t even think about using it in a martini. - drinkhacker.com

Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2024 Release

Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

The Kilkerran brand has been described as "Springbank's big middle finger to the SWA" for trying to screw them out of a regional designation. In 1998 the Scotch Whisky Association decided to cease referring to Campbeltown as a whisky region. Two distilleries (Springbank & Glen Scotia) simply weren't enough. Prompted to restore the Peninsula's reputation, Hedley Wright, the owner of Springbank envisioned Glengyle as a project to cement Campbeltown as a region proper, rather than just an extension of the Lowlands. Its whiskies are now on just about every malt maniacs short list. Many who were lucky enough to be acquainted with Springbank's output a decade or so ago appreciate that Kilkerran is essentially a slightly less peated version of the same malt - for less dollars. The same distillery team run both operations. There is a slight difference in the production process but the upshot is a lightly peated West Highlander with fresh citrus notes and an oiliness on the palate, plus a little briney, coastal character. Because its profile clocks the range of flavours found in single malt Scotch, it is in many ways quintessential. The 12 year old is the perfect introduction. The 2024 edition was matured in 70% Bourbon and 30% Sherry casks and bottled at their standard strength of 46% without chill filtration. Experience has shown that the best time to buy it is at the start of each allocation cycle while the opening prices hold. Global demand for this distillery is already catching up with Springbank.
Notes from the producers... Initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding. The peat smoke carries through to the finish in campfire embers, with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.

2022 Spinifex Syrah

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2025-2031)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

Winemaker Peter Schell sources fruit from up to 10 different plots throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys for this Syrah, from “generally higher, cooler sites, where earlier harvesting gives wines with bright, savoury, spicy fruit expression and a textural freshness”, according to Schell. Vine ages vary from 25 to 100 years. Various winemaking techniques are employed, with 30% whole bunches included and maturation taking place in mostly large, seasoned oak for a period of 8 months.
Rich and juicy yet complex, fresh and savoury, this is a splendid rendition of Syrah.
Impenetrable inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Dark plum, liquorice and subtle blueberry aromas show wonderful fragrance out of the glass with hints of violet, smoky vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth notes also chiming in. Rich, juicy dark plum, liquorice and blueberry fruits carry a plush feel across the medium to full bodied palate. Adding further interest are some black cherry, spicy vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered fennel elements. Ripe, slightly chewy tannins extend across what is a long, fresh and generously fruited yet savoury finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
Syrah from both the Barossa and Eden Valleys with pure, lush, dark plum, blueberry and mulberry fruit tones with hints of exotic spice, struck flint, dried herbs, wildflowers, crushed granite, charcuterie and dried citrus rinds. Full bodied with a calm, graphite and sage-flecked stony flow on the palate. Jeez, it's easy to drink, with a bright mineral cadence, powdered granitic tannins and just a touch of morello cherry as it slides away.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

MOXIE is a non-vintage Sparkling Shiraz blended from multiple vintages, with a solera-style base dating back to 1995 for depth and complexity. Lifted by younger Shiraz from 2018, 2019, and 2020, it’s rich, dark, and vibrant with a balance of sweetness, bright acidity, and fine tannins. Best enjoyed well-chilled with good company—perfect with roast meats, cheese, or as an indulgent finish to a meal.

Other Reviews....
Who doesn’t love a good spurgles (sparkling Shiraz for the younger brigade)? Apparently, quite a few people, but as they say in the classics, more for us. This is a non-vintage style with material dating back as far as 1996. The reserve wines were blended with 2017 Shiraz as a base. An inky opaque purple, the flavours move through liquorice, chocolate mud cake, cloves, mocha and coffee beans. This is bright, ripe and rich, and of course, wonderfully exuberant. A sparkler of medium length, this is quite delicious.

A vintage that marks an incoming winemaker and a culling of lesser quality fruit. Cabernet and shiraz, the Aussie archetype. Consummate, medium-bodied and savory, with better tannin management than what I recall of past vintages. Bay leaves, currants and iodine, with licorice tannins serving as gentle directives to good, supple length. An everyday claret for the sophisticate, with a strong maritime feel. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) Shiraz (42%) Merlot (7%).
This release of Wirra Wirra Church Block is on song and in form. It has plenty of flesh and fruit but it’s also firm and dry. It tastes of boysenberry, redcurrant, saltbush and dried herbs, with a gently ferrous-like element running throughout. It’s lovely to drink; solid but supple. Drink 2024-2029+

There’s a certain rustic charm about this Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre blend, sourced from various McLaren Vale subregions. Perfumed rose petal and plummy slightly earthy characters on the nose.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com
Not as ferrous or savoury as the magnificent 2020. Veritable value all the same. A multitude of sub-regional sources, Blewitt Springs and Clarendon amidst. A meld of partial carbonic, a dollop of whole bunches and extended time on skins (to 30 days) for the better fruit. The oak, used small format. Licorice, sweet kirsch, thyme and rosemary sprigs. A waft of eucalyptus, drying and terse, marks the finish. A final spurt of sweetness offers respite and strident length. Drink by 2028.

Grenache (52%), shiraz (30%) and Mourvèdre sourced from a range of McLaren Vale vineyards in the Blewitt Springs, Seaview, Whites Valley and Clarendon sub-regions.
This delivers. It’s svelte, fluid and run with fruit, the latter cohesive and appealing. Flavours of violets, blueberries, raspberries and flashes of florals, thyme and spice – and a touch of red licorice too – all perform swimmingly. Pop and pour and you’re good to go; it’s drinking well now. Drink 2024-2028.

Serve this in buckets! What a beauty! GSMs done well are cracking drinks and this release from **** Wines is worth bashing down the door for.
A delicious fusion of fruit, savoury delight and earthiness, this GSM is absolutely humming. Raspberries, baked blueberries and mulberries are the beating heart of this wine. There is a fabulous tempo and vibe about its carry as it moves and sways through the mouth with ease. The palate is blanketed by generous medium-bodied fruit with fine spices clinging to the edges and tingling long. An earthy undertow courtesy of the Mourvedre is measured and harmonious. Each part of the blend works in unison rather than seeking the limelight and that's precisely why I can't get enough of it. A clever wine that has been made and blended exceptionally well. Great stuff, and yes, bash the door down.

While the origins of this domaine date back to Charles-Louis-Noel Billaud in 1815, it's the current generation winemaker Samuel Billaud that has made waves with the exceptional quality of his wines produced since the creation of this project in 2009. Following the sale of the family business Domaine Billaud-Simon to Faiveley in 2014, Samuel received further prized parcels of land and now makes wines from five of the grand cru vineyards, and five of the top premier cru vineyards. The wines are vinified in a mixture of stainless steel and large old wood barrels, the latter mainly for the premier and grand cru wines.
Other Reviews....
As one would expect in a vintage like 2022, there is a suggestion of the exotic lurking in the background of the ripe nose of white-fleshed fruit, wet stone and shellfish scents. The rich, full-bodied and overtly powerful medium weight plus flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while delivering fine length on the balanced finale. This does however need to develop more depth though that should reasonably occur if allowed at least a few years of bottle aging. Worth checking out. Drink through 2030+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Bottled in May after 18 months. Clear pale colour with a little light lime touch. This stands back, suggesting that it really needs to be kept. Samuel Billaud has moved to DIAM 30 with that in mind. Exceptional density, based around the dry extract, a little lick of oak, this has barely begun to touch its full potential. Drink from 2027-2034.

An elegant, pure and beautifully airy nose presents ripe but wonderfully fresh aromas of mineral reduction, acacia blossom and oyster shell trimmed in enough wood to merit mentioning. The racy and borderline painfully intense middleweight flavors exude a bracing minerality that adds a sense of lift to the detailed, focused and lingering finale that is neither especially dry nor austere. Other than a trace of backend warmth, this is a classic MdT though one that could use better depth, so a few years of patience will be necessary. Drink through 2030+.

The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a very impressive bouquet with wonderful marine-inflected malic scents, quite strict and focused, leaning more to traditional old school Chablis.

This is aromatically quite similar to the Bougros with ample wood if a bit more floral and citrus elements in play. The sleeker and finer medium-bodied flavors also possess excellent volume as well as more evident minerality that adds lift to the attractively textured and sneaky long back. Once again, better depth would be a major plus so a few years of bottle aging are in order. Drink through 2030+.

The 2022 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, located mid-slope from 30-35-year-old vines, has a very complex bouquet: Granny Smiths, struck flint, hints of oyster shell and seaweed developing with time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a little more weight than the Bougros but maybe not quite the same ethereal degree of mineralité. Nevertheless, this will age beautifully in bottle. Drink 2027-2048.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Aged for 12 months in wood, then 6 in tank on the lees, which is the standard for all the grands crus. Light lemon yellow, a little oaky on the nose. Coconut too on the palate, but these aspects are just some top notes on top of a wealth of fruit with an excellent crystalline acidity. Very persistent. Drink from 2028-2038.

More moderate wood surrounds the overtly floral-suffused nose of softly exotic white peach, Granny Smith apple, sea breeze and pretty spice whiffs. The succulent, round and plump flavors are finer still while exuding a refreshing salinity on the very dry and sneaky long finish that offers better depth. The innate class of a fine Preuses is clearly present and this should be really lovely in time. Drink through 2030+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has an outstanding nose, very complex with oyster shell and dew-speckled Granny Smith. Real intensity and drive here. The palate is well balanced with a harmonious entry, a fine bead of acidity, just a little spice entering the fray towards the finish. Again, the oak is seamlessly enmeshed here. Absolute class from start to finish. Drink 2027-2048.

35+ year old vines, from the middle of Blanchot. The wood does not obstruct, but is it actually necessary? Little white flowers. Superbly fresh finish where the elegance of the vineyard absolutely drives through. I can feel my teeth being cleaned by the crisp mineral finish. Drink from 2028-2038.

2024 Jim Barry Assyrtiko Magnum (1500ml)

Clare Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

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 subtle greenish tinge to the edges. Aromas of pear, lime and red apple skin sail out of the glass with some fresh herb and delicate slatey mineral notes also chiming in. Pear, lime and green apple fruits are amply concentrated across what is a mouth watering palate. Crisp, invigorating acidity counterpoints the wines textural volume. Infusions of Mediterranean herbs and a tonic like minerality linger through the long scrumptious finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews....
An appealing white wine of gentle savouriness, brightness of fruit alongside that, floral lift and saline minerality. Yes thanks. It feels quite racy in texture but there's oatmeal and ginger biscuit qualities under tart lime and green apple fruitiness. The perfume is loaded with citrus blossom florals, sea spray, lime and ginger. A racy finish lends ultimate freshness. A very good vibe here. Drink by 2028.

2009 Billecart-Salmon Vintage Champagne Magnum (1500ml)

Champagne, FRANCE
$350. 00
Bottle
$4200.00 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Aged on lees for 9 years this excellent vintage Champagne is comprised of 40% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 27% Pinot Meunier grapes sourced from predominately (73%) Grand Cru and Premier Crus.
A frothy white mousse forms over a pale straw/pale gold coloured base that’s finely threaded by a very persistent bead. Pronounced aromatics of pear and yeast lees meld into brioche, citrus, oily toast like notes, dried honey and almond. The rich, powerful palate is caressed with baked bread, pear, yeast lees and citrus flavours which have a full creamy like feel. Elements of roasted almonds, subtle oily cashew and dried honey characters chime in on the dry, crisp finish. Long, complex aftertaste.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Comprises 40/33/27% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier, 73% grands and premiers crus. The low dosage of 2g/l and the warm vintage allow the fruit-based flavours free rein - white peach, Granny Smith apple and nectarine. The finish and aftertaste remain fresh and long. A house in grand form.

2023 Willem Kurt Beechworth Chardonnay

Beechworth, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.8%

Closure: Stelvin

Willem Kurt wines begun its life as a garage project initially purchasing fruit and making wine from its rented winery space. It wasn’t until 2017 that a paddock of land was purchased, and vines planted. Winemaker Daniel Balzer employs simple winemaking techniques in order to emphasis the fruit, barrel fermentation and maturation in French oak (25% new) with only select barrels undergoing lees stirring and malolactic fermentation.
Other Reviews....
Another stylish and complex chardonnay for this label. Embraces a chalky, savoury, citrus flintiness that is so convincingly good, convincingly Beechworth in personality. Nectarine, white peach, preserved lemon, gun flint backed by baked bread, toasted almond and spice. Acidity is a feature here, bringing a tensile quality. Mouth-watering grapefruit pithy finish. Drink 2024 - 2033.

Jeni Port - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
The world is crazy for Beechworth chardonnay and why the heck wouldn’t it be.
There’s an inherent complexity to this chardonnay. It pushes hay into peach, smoked bacon into grapefruit, and oatmeal into citrus, and while it has semblances of slippery smoothness – or richness, even – it feels energetic throughout, and ultimately lengthy. The way flavour sweeps through the finish is particularly enjoyable, and of particular note. This is another winner under the Willem Kurt label. Drink 2025 - 2031+

Appleton Estate Reserve 8 Year Old Rum (1000ml)

JAMAICA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

"Complex layers of fruit flavors with some subtle earthy funk make up this benchmark, consumer friendly Jamaican Rum." - tastings.com
Designed to be the Estate’s most versatile expression, fans of the brand will find plenty to like in Appleton's second most affordable offering. This lighter-bodied Jamaican is a combination of minimum 8 year old rums, born in copper pot stills and blended by Master Blender, Joy Spence. The result is summed up by diffordsguide.com as a "...generously dry rum, distinguished by its toasty oak tannins" and rated 4.5 stars. Enjoy it as a quality sipper or a premium mixer. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of ripe banana and pineapple, roasted walnut, strawberry watermelon gastrique, and charred coconut with a round, dryish medium body and a long finish that shows notes of bananas and roasted walnut, grilled pineapple, strawberry watermelon, and mejoola date. Complex layers of fruit flavors with some subtle earthy funk make up this benchmark, consumer friendly Jamaican Rum. 93 points - tastings.com
Very sippable at 43% ABV. It’s certainly not “rough” in anyway. The initial entry is a nice burst of spice – black pepper, ginger and some warming oak and vanilla notes. Moving into the mid palate you get much more of the nose. Warming notes of cream, breakfast tea and some milky chocolate. A nice fruitiness as well with banana and some sweeter notes of green apple. Pretty much everything noted on the nose makes an appearance. The long spicy and oaked finish is wonderfully well balanced with the sweeter richer notes found in the rum. Again I’m reminding my self that this was under £30. At least trying a bottle of this is a no brainer. It’s certainly not what I would call a particularly big step down from the Rare Blend. In fact you might find this to be better or its equal. It doesn’t have some of the more “herbal” notes the Rare Blend has. This isn’t “funky” high ester hogo heavy Jamaican rum. Appleton Estate rums are a very different beast to say Hampden or National Rums of Jamaica. If you want funk from Appelton Estate than Wray and Nephew White Overproof is what you want. If you want an affordable and very nice every day sipper and a premium mixer – get this in your shopping trolley next time Tarquin takes you to Waitrose. The old Aged 8 Years is back and I think it might even be a little better than I remember. - thefatrumpirate.com
Notes from the producer... The appearance displays a dazzling topaz/honey colour with a gold rim and impeccable purity. The bouquet emits delicate scents of brown sugar and honey in the first nosing, further aeration compels the aroma to open up as it offers up biscuity scents of molasses, holiday spice and dried red fruit. The palate entry is sweet, honeyed and satiny in texture; the mid palate offers mature, composed and melted tastes of marzipan, caramel and brown sugar.

Highland Park Viking Honour 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Plus Bonus Cask Strength 50ml Miniature

Orkney Islands, SCOTLAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Comes with a bonus 50ml miniature bottle of the high-octane Cask Strength Release No.3.
Ranked alongside the classic malts, revered as a spectacular after-dinner drink and without doubt '...a malt to challenge any Cognac or Armagnac', Highland Park's house style is fragrant and floral with a smooth, honeyed character over hints of citrus and smoke. The phenol content of their proprietary malt is 30-40ppm but the remainder which is imported from Simpson's is unpeated. Employing roughly 20% first-fill sherry casks, the distillery is serious about quality oak, spending $20 million a year on wood alone, more than any other Scotch distillery - despite having a fraction of the output of some of the larger brands.
First released in 1979, the 12 year old remains the best introduction to the Orkney legend. A name change and packaging update took place in 2017. It's now called 'Viking Honour', adding to what seems like a never-ending series of Nordic themed labels. This special gift pack edition will please bargain hunters. It comes with a 50ml cask strength HP - a massive, extra smokey limited release bottled at a whopping 64.1% Alc./Vol!
12YO Retasted 2019 ...Surprisingly full at 40% ABV but loses vitality and flattens out towards the finish. Otherwise, mostly unchanged from our first tasting back in 2012. Subtle nashi-pear fruitiness combines with a judicious slap of peat and a spicy flourish. More peaty than some previous bottlings with drying brine, spice and smoke lingering. Closer to the HP style of 15 years ago.
Other reviews... "The sweet aroma is very inviting and draws you in closer to inspect the dram. The honey'd and vanilla fragrance takes a turn on the palate replaced by grass and pineapple. A lemon twist or two comes next with the peat smoke just teasing your senses." 91 points - drinkhacker.com
...This amber spirit has a light, briny vanilla scent and a silky feel. A veil of smoke rises through the Scotch (but fades out fast), leaving behind a sweet nutty, vanilla finish. 93 points - wineenthusiast.com
More Viking paraphernalia… Could we at least have Lagertha? Colour: gold. Nose: not my preferred style of HP either, but this is fresher, fruitier, more lively, even if the core is kind of similar. Bitter oranges, marmalade, ginger, ale, whiffs of pumpernickel bread, oak spices, a little leather and tobacco… Indeed I like this nose better. Mouth: no questions, this is more refreshing despite the ‘seasoning’ that’s a little too apparent to me. Pepper, oak spices, black tea, grass smoke… Nice earthy honey beyond these bitterish spices. Finish: medium, spicy, with an obvious tannicity. Comments: they seem to have used active seasoned wood too here, but the spices and the leather were better controlled in my opinion. But indeed I much prefer the brighter, distillate-driven HPs. Because what a distillate it is indeed! 83 points - whiskyfun.com

It's a Côtes du Rhône blend, sharply priced, with a connection to a famous Parisian wine bar; a juicy plum and spice-forward wine that is a joy to drink. Light on the artefact and high in effortless drinkability, finishing stony, spicy, meaty and moreish. A classic. Drink by 2035.

The 2023 Cuvee Juveniles is a blend of 48% Grenache, 28% Mataro, 13% Carignan, 6% Counoise and 5% Shiraz, and like the Cuvee Juveniles Blanc, is named after the wine bar for which it was created, Juveniles Wine Bar in the 1st arrondissement in Paris. The wine is savory and fresh, perfumed with abundant red fruits, flowers and exotic spices. In the mouth, you get star anise, fennel seeds, black peppercorns and fresh blood, and the mouthfeel is shaped by ferruginous tannins. While this wine may not be as complex as some others in the lineup, it lacks nothing in the way of freshness, personality and detail. It's a beautiful wine, from a cool and wet season in the Barossa. 15% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

A nicely shaped Chenin Blanc with pear, red apple skin and quince flavours to the fore.
Domaine Pichot is a 24Ha family estate in Vouvray on the right bank of the Loire, where vignerons dedicate their time to the cultivation of Chenin Blanc, locally coined ‘Pineau de la Loire’, to produce dry, sweet and sparkling whites. The Coteau de la Biche is the only vineyard of the estate, planted on silex layered over limestone slopes. It is the spot of choice to make dry whites of great class, displaying the richness of ripe Chenin with a minerality that can rival that of the grandest Chablis. The la Biche undergoes a combination of ferments in both stainless steel and 400 litre barrels.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with highlights of green to the surrounding edges and a watery hue. Pear, baked apple and quince aromas are trailed by faint honeysuckle and cinnamon spice notes. Delicious pear, red apple skin and quince flavours are nicely shaped across the mid palate with delicate honeysuckle and wet slate elements the undercard.

Philip Rich – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The boundaries are being pushed – it’s 11% alcohol – but there’s good flavour here, not to mention style, not to mention an extra kick of flavour through the finish. Indeed there’s more than a little x-factor to this wine. Lactose, grapefruit, pear, green apple and fennel flavours come with a light coating of custard powder and woodsmoke. It all sails so beautifully along. There’s a floral element here too; if ever a wine benefited from being decanted, it’s this one. Every time I returned to my glass it had something else to say.

Delicious pear, green apple and lime fruits with a river stone like mouth feel and dry, slatey finish.
Coming from the commune of Ronca in the heart of Garganega country, Monte Ronca is a creation of local specialist, Antonio Fattori, an acknowledged Soave-master. Most the fruit for wines comes from the hills to the north of this commune, a specific site called Monte Calvarino, which peaks at 680 m (the inactive volcano from which the wine takes its name). At this altitude, this beautiful cool site provides a perfect environment for a higher grade, single site Soave. The hills around Monte Calvarino (in comparative terms to the region in general) are particularly steep, and from a viticultural perspective, pose some challenges. But to Antonio, this is critical to capture depth of flavour and structure, as the best expressions of Soave are never found on the valley floor where it gets too warm. Here, the ancient volcanic soils impart a flinty minerality to the hand-harvested fruit, while in the cellar, lees stirring and subtle oak ageing and varying levels of appassimento add a rich texture and further complexity to the wine.
Brilliant pale straw colour with subtle flashes of green around the edges and a watery hue. Drifting out of the glass are aromas of pear, lime and green apple skin followed by some fresh Mediterranean herb and wet slate notes. Sliding across the palate are delicious pear, green apple and lime fruits infused with fresh herbs which have a wet slate and mineral underbelly. Crisp acidity with a river stone like mouth feel. Long, dry, slatey finish.

Elixir Distillers The MacBeth Collection Seyton Ardmore 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

ABV: 52.5%

One of ten collectable whiskies chosen to portray Macbeth’s Household in this collectable series inspired by the Scottish play (there are actually 42 whiskies within the entire collection). Here, Macbeth’s loyal armourer is imagined as a fresh, herbaceous single malt from Ardmore with an outturn of 3200 bottles. Maturation in casks previously filled with heavily peated Islay whisky give an extra layer of smokiness to this characteristically mineral make. Expect pine needles, woody herbs and a lingering note of chocolate mint. The artwork was created by noted illustrator and national treasure Sir Quentin Blake. 52.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... citrusy notes and medicinal peat, followed by black pepper and mustard notes. Hints of coffee beans. Sweet oak and radishes. Lemons, brine and hints of burnt herbs, always with a savoury edge. Finish: rather long, on similar notes. Pepper, lemon, brine. A few herbacious touches as well. This almost feels like a blended malt, combining the vegetal Ardmore style with a bit of medicinal Islay character. Overall a pleasant middle-aged peaty dram. - whiskynotes.be

Juicy and vibrant with a sculptured feel and long, tense finish.
Deep dark red heart with black shaded edges and a dark red hue. Fragrant red to dark raspberry and red liquorice scents sail through the nostrils followed by some red cherry, crushed rock, vanillin spice and peppery fresh herb like scents. Juicy and vibrant the mid weighted palate features red raspberry, red liquorice and red cherry fruits which are underscored by fresh acidity. Vanillin spice, crushed rock and pepper elements ensue. Slightly chalky tannins impart a muscular feel onto what is a tense but long finish.

Other Reviews……
Blewitt Springs grenache planted to Holocene sand in 1960; fermented in 135-year-old wax-lined concrete fermenters with 20% whole bunches; about 18 days on skins; matured in a 2500L 17-year-old French oak vat for 10 months. Newly bottled, this is just so engagingly present at this early stage, though the architecture is there for a long life. Cranberry, pink peppercorn, freeze-dried raspberry, rosehip, raspberry leaf tea, sumac, cinnamon, white pepper and ground dried orange peel. It’s got grip and tension, so natural of feel, with a savoury line that connects to fruit, both bundled together seamlessly. This is stunning. Drink by 2032.

Marcus Ellis - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
From the Marmont vineyard, Blewitt Springs, planted in 1960.
Steely, iron filings, ozone, cherry, raspberry, floral and spicy, honey glazed ham and mint. Medium-bodied, fine emery board tannin, dried herbs and almond, lots of cranberry crunch and energy, with very good length. Lovely wine. Fine Grenache. Picked on the right side of ripeness, with some tangy blood orange flavour in the aftertaste. It’ll do well with a few more years on it. Drink 2024-2033+

Gary Walsh – The Wine Front
The 2023 Grenache is aromatic and light in the glass, with notes of perfumed roses, blood orange, petrichor/wet asphalt, star anise, raspberry seed and licorice. On the palate, the wine is representative of the season that birthed it—it is cool and fine-boned, and the large oak vats that the wine matured in works to elevate the aromatics and protects an ethereal core of the wine. It is gossamer like in its shape and flow, really good. Made with 20% whole bunches, it fermented in old concrete fermenters (the same age as the Ryecroft winery that they belong to—137 years old this year). Post ferment, the fruit was pressed and put into large old vats (purchased from Tyrrell's). The tannins here are the highlight for me, aside from the fruit of course, in that they are chalky and infused into the wine rather than encasing it. This is glorious. The fruit is from Marmont vineyard in Blewitt Springs. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2038.
