    2023 Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay
    Huon Valley, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $69. 99
    Bottle
    $839.88 Dozen
    ABV: 13.1%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Sailor Seeks Horse is a tiny vineyard that's one of Australia’s most southerly, located in the Huon valley in southern Tasmania. Owners Paul and Gilli Lipscombe have brought considerable vineyard and winemaking experience to this venture, and they've been producing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay here for over a decade.

    In 2010 Paul and Gilli planted four Dijon clones of Chardonnay (95, 96, 76 & 277) in two sections of the vineyard over 2 hectares. Winemaking is tailored to the season, yet generally involves whole bunches pressed and allowed to 'hyperox' before settling for 12 hours in tank. It's then racked into 300l hogsheads of which 20% is new. Fermentation uses wild yeasts, generally no MLF, and the wine is then aged for 12 months with full lees.

    Other Reviews....
    There's a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and line. It finishes savoury and very moreish and that is a big win. Drink 2025-2032.

    Wild ferment, clones 114, 777, 115, destemmed, 12 months in barrel (11% new). Finely honed redcurrant and raspberry aromas here with a wash of cranberry for high tones. It smells delicate and filigreed with hints of Medina spice, sous bois, fennel gratin, cherry clafoutis, drying meadow flowers, poached rhubarb and earth. More of the same on the palate, savoury and spacious with fine detail to its form and a lovely briny cadence that pushes the wine forward. Jeez, it's pretty darn good. Drink 2024-2034.

    2023 Francois Cotat Sancerre Grande Cote
    Sancerre, Loire Valley, FRANCE
    $180. 00
    Bottle
    $2160.00 Dozen
    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Cork

    The domaine of Francois Cotat is a tiny 4 hectares, and has been making some of the most exceptional wines of the Loire since 1947. Their success and individuality can be attributed to François' intense passion for creating the finest wine possible and his exceptionally placed vineyards. Prudent viticulture combined with densely planted vines, ultra-low yields and relatively late harvesting produces fantastically flavoursome fruit. Whilst not Biodynamic, Francois uses organic fertilisers and racks according to the phases of the moon. His incredible wines develop with age and, in the best vintages, can be cellared for more than 30 years.

    This vineyard is where François has his oldest vines, these days the average age is about 40 years because he has had to replant many of the very old vines as the Sauvignon is susceptible to viruses as it ages and so past 60 years old the vine is usually close to unproductive. This vineyard produces the most flamboyant wines in this collection, there are subtle notes of orchard fruit and more power but don't let that fool you as it is all aligned to incredible finesse, cool acidity and tactile minerality. These are very special bottles.

    Named after François father, Cuvée Paul is an incredibly rare wine often made from La Grande Côte and set aside as having the greatest potential for ageing. It is not made every year. A hark back to how Chavignol was made in the 40's and 50's it is made from very ripe grapes and shows gentle sweetness and incredible power.

    Bottle
    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Sourced from blocks three and four in the Lenswood Vineyard, first planted in 1999, this site features east and west-facing aspects at 500 meters above sea level, with brown loam over clay and broken shale and stone on the ridges.
    The wine was gently whole-bunch pressed and fermented in 500-liter puncheons, with 30% new oak, undergoing full malo and spending 10 months in oak before resting in the tank prior to bottling.
    Alc. 13%

    Plenty of work has gone into the 2023 Chardonnay Lenswood Vineyard. A strong lead of smoky matchstick underpins subtle creamy layers of melon, grapefruit and French oak. The palate reveals admirable flavour complexity in an understated style as creamy acidity draws out a savoury, fine-boned finish. Drink 2026 - 2035.

    Angus Hughson - Antonio Galloni's Vinous

    From 500m above sea level. You can smell the flint and struck match from a foot away from the glass. It's of a distinct style, all minerally, chalky-puckering and racy, but there's enough depth of flavour to titillate and please all comers, while being distinctly savoury and complex. Fantastic. Almond friand amongst green apple, grapefruit, mineral water, lime with umami-like characters rolling through. Touches of parmesan and sea spray also here. You could keep the descriptors rolling. Utterly fantastic wine, where flavour is paramount, texture is stellar, length is outstanding; it's refreshing, and the wine is just straight-up delicious. Kudos. Drink 2024 - 2038.

    Mike Bennie - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

    Mineral-edged and steely, with aromas of grapefruit, phosphorous, preserved lemons, sea salt, lime leaves and lemon curd. The palate is highly strung, with precise acidity and an energetic palate that leads to a medium-bodied mouthfeel with brooding power that will resolve with time in the bottle. A cool-vintage chardonnay that is finely constructed. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Other Reviews....
    Structured and densely packed aromas black olive tapenade, cured meat, violets, dried herbs, Damson plums and a savory undertone. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins and a tactile, succulent edge that gives layers of dark chocolate, salt bush and blue fruit. So well balanced and savory, with a lovely, meaty perfume. Drink or hold. Will age really well.

    2024 Denton Shed Pinot Noir

    $32. 99

    Cellar: Drink now - 3 Years (2025-2028)

    Closure: Stelvin

    Light and juicy with a long appealing finish that has an energized feel.

    Established in 1996 by John and Simon Denton, Denton’s "View Hill" vineyard in Yarra Glen is set on granitic sandy soil with a north-facing aspect. In 2024, John Denton retired, selling the estate to Scott Bishop, who has fully immersed himself in its daily operations. Winemaker Kirilly Gordon, with experience in Victoria, France, and Italy, has led production since 2022, while vineyard manager Julian Parrott, with over five years on-site, ensures meticulous care of the vines.

    The Shed range prioritizes perfume, texture, and drinkability, with an emphasis on lightness and delicacy. Bottled early to retain freshness, these wines are approachable and ready to enjoy upon release. The Shed Pinot Noir is sourced primarily from Block 6 on the vineyard’s cooler northeastern slope, with additional fruit from the close-planted Block 4. Predominantly MV6 with some 115 and Pommard clones, the fruit underwent spontaneous fermentation with 10% whole bunches and gentle plunging or pumpovers. After two weeks on skins, it was pressed to a mix of tank (10%) and old French oak puncheons (90%) for nine months of maturation, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
    Slightly cloudy red to dark red colour with a light red hue. Perfumed violet like aromas are followed by red cherry and wild strawberry scents with some fresh herb and subtle forest floor notes also evident. Light, juicy and vibrant in it’s feel, delicious red cherry and wild strawberry fruits are underscored by tangy acidity. Some blood orange, fresh herb and forest floor elements sit in the background. Polished tannins with a long appealing finish that has an energized feel.
    Drink over the next 2-3 years.

    The Shed range prioritizes perfume, texture, and drinkability, with an emphasis on lightness and delicacy. Bottled early to retain freshness, these wines are approachable and ready to enjoy upon release. ourced from the lower northeastern slope of Denton View Hill, this Chardonnay, primarily P58 clone with touches of Gin Gin and Mendoza, was wild-fermented, underwent full malolactic fermentation, and aged on lees in stainless steel for 11 months. Fresh and bright, it offers citrus and tropical notes, subtle creaminess, and crisp acidity—an easy-drinking yet poised Chardonnay.
    Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with greenish tinted edges and a watery hue. Nectarine and citrus aromas intermingle with hints of bees wax, cashew and lemon butter. Rich, creamy textured flavours of peach, nectarine and dried honey overlay a back drop of cashew, subtle biscuity nougat and spice. Excellent volume and concentration across the palate with a long enveloping conclusion.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    Whole-bunch pressed and fermented with 100% mlf in both stainless steel and older French oak. Bottled without fining or filtration. A deepish, bright green gold. Aromas of fully ripe orchard fruits, a little fresh guava even and some lemon verbena. Luscious, in a good way, on the palate, backed up by a fine vein of acidity. A gentle pithiness on the finish. Drink 2024 - 2027.

    2022 Domaine Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage
    Crozes Hermitage, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
    $120. 00
    Bottle
    $1440.00 Dozen
    ABV: 12%
    Closure: Cork

    Alain Graillot has proved beyond a doubt that it is possible to make rich wines from the gently sloped alluvial plain where the Isère River meets the Rhone. His concentrated reds demonstrate all that is exciting about the Syrah grape: black fruit, intense aromaticity, pepper and spice complexity underpinned by crisp acidity and fine tannins.

    Graillot works organically, harvesting fruit by hand and fermenting in whole bunches. He chooses to age his wines in used barrels, one to three-years-old, purchased from Burgundy’s best estates. His Crozes-Hermitage is difficult to resist young. Despite the tannins that inevitably come from the inclusion of whole bunches in fermentation, Graillot wines are seldom hard-edged, overly tannic, or in need of extended cellaring. In fact, they are often flat-out delicious very soon after release. That being said, their track record for rewarding patient cellaring is exemplary.

    Other Reviews....
    A textural, balanced and harmonious red with such patina already. The nose shows notes of dark cherries, fresh plums, forest floor and warm spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Dense and velvety, with a kick of peppercorns. Juicy, vivid and fresh finish. Drink or hold.

    Bottle
    $1379.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    For a few years in the late 18th century, Lochlea was the home and workplace of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. The farm was acquired in 2006 and current owner, Neil McGeoch gained planning permissions in 2014. Despite converting the former piggery, byre and midden into a distillery and repurposing the cattle sheds into bonded warehouses, Lochlea is and remains a working farm, which is what sets it apart from almost every other Scotch whisky distillery. All of the required barley is grown in the fields surrounding the facility. The man in charge of production is Malcolm Rennie who has worked for some of the Scotch industry's biggest names, including Bruichladdich, Ardbeg and Kilchoman. He brings with him more than thirty years of whisky-making nous. Having started production in August 2018, the current offerings are around 3-4 years old. 'Our Barley' is based on a recipe honed by ex-Laphroaig Manager, John Campbell and is comprised of a combination of maturations across first-fill Bourbon barrels, Oloroso Sherry casks, and shaved-toasted-recharred (STR) barriques. It's the distillery's first core bottling and showcases what the producer's describe as Lochlea's signature fruitiness. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Pear syrup, fruit bonbons, warm cut grass, marmalade. Palate: Golden syrup, pepper, rye bread, macadamia nuts, cream soda. Finish: Long finish with a lasting orange beeswax note.

    2022 Radikon Sivi Pinot Grigio

    Closure: Cork

    The late Stanislao (Stanko) Radikon’s bold decision in the 1990s to embrace extended skin contact and natural winemaking, alongside his neighbour Josko Gravner, played a pivotal role in the global rise of amber/orange wines. Over the course of 36+ vintages Stanko, and now his son Sasa, have remained uncompromising in their pursuit of wines that are pure expressions of their Friulian terroir, rejecting chemical additives, temperature control, and sulphur. Rooted in the traditions of Stanko’s grandfather, the Radikon estate in Oslavia focuses on Ribolla Gialla, with vineyards planted on steep clay and shale slopes, meticulously farmed by hand. Since 1995, Stanko progressively returned to historical methods, extending maceration from 7 days to 3 months and eliminating sulphur entirely by 2002, crafting age-worthy wines that are, in Stanko's words, "totally genuine." While the core of the estate was formed around plantings of Ribolla Gialla, Stanko’s parents also added small parcels of Merlot, Tocai Friulano and Pinot Grigio.

    Sivi is 100% Pinot Grigio that spends eight to ten days macerating on the skins.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2022 Bianco Sivi, Radikon’s 100% Pinot Grigio that spends eight to ten days macerating on the skins, is a vivid, dark, pink color with violet hues. This is wonderfully fresh and floral with a spicy bouquet that blends rose petals with ginger and incense. It’s potent and savory in style, with juicy acidity to balance the depths of tart citrus and wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. The 2022 tapers off with a balance of sweet spice and cheek-puckering citrus, adding remarkable contrasts through the long and perfumed finale. Drink 2024-2029.

    The 2022 Bianco Slatnik is wild with an exotic bouquet of incense and dried flowers, tangerine and hints of fresh mint. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness that gives way to tropical melon and citrus tones, all guided by juicy acidity. It finishes with admirable length and is potent yet still remarkably fresh, leaving traces of candied grapefruit and spice. This is an intense vintage of Slatnik, yet the balance cannot be denied. It’s a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Tocai Friulano that spends eight days macerating on the skins. Drink 2024-2029.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2022 Rosso RS lifts from the glass with a vivid blend of crushed black cherries and blackberries complicated by cedar shavings and sage. This is energetic and racy in style, with depths of tart wild berry fruits energized by a balanced dose of volatile acidity. Violet inner florals and traces of lavender form toward the close. It finishes dramatically long yet wickedly fresh, leaving a coating of grippy tannins as licorice and currant nuances slowly fade. This is almost too easy to like yet remarkably balanced as well. The RS22 (from the 2022 vintage) is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Pignolo. Drink 2024-2031.

    Decidedly spicey, the 2019 Bianco Jakot reminds me of my childhood days drinking lemon-tinged sun tea, along with a twist of ginger and wild herbs. This is soft textured and round with a purity seldom seen. Brisk acidity excites green apple and young pear notes. A hint of lime adds a pleasant tart tension toward the close. A saturation of savory spice remains while finishing lightly tannic and tremendously long. The Jakot is a varietal Tocai Friulano. Drink 2025-2031.

    The 2019 Bianco O…… (Oslavje) is airy and floral with a lovely touch of fresh mint that gives way to young peach and white flowers. This is distinctly savory on the palate, with a tart lemon rind tinge, giving way to young kiwi and mineral tones, more like an herbal tea than wine. Brisk acidity maintains a lifted feel. It finishes with medium length and a liquid floral sensation as tactile mineral tones add a pleasant crunchiness. This blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Sauvignon Blanc spends three months refining on the lees. Drink 2025-2031.

    Wickedly fresh, the 2019 Ribolla wafts up with a perfumed blend of young peaches, dried flowers and wet stone. It’s silky smooth yet full of mineral tension. A salty flourish gives way to masses of tart orchard fruits and a staining of liquid florals. This tapers off classically dry with a citrusy concentration that puckers the cheeks and forces the mouth to water. This is an especially gastronomic Ribolla that’s already showing beautifully yet should show even better after a few years of cellaring. Drink 2025-2031.

    The late Stanislao (Stanko) Radikon’s bold decision in the 1990s to embrace extended skin contact and natural winemaking, alongside his neighbour Josko Gravner, played a pivotal role in the global rise of amber/orange wines. Over the course of 36+ vintages Stanko, and now his son Sasa, have remained uncompromising in their pursuit of wines that are pure expressions of their Friulian terroir, rejecting chemical additives, temperature control, and sulphur. Rooted in the traditions of Stanko’s grandfather, the Radikon estate in Oslavia focuses on Ribolla Gialla, with vineyards planted on steep clay and shale slopes, meticulously farmed by hand. Since 1995, Stanko progressively returned to historical methods, extending maceration from 7 days to 3 months and eliminating sulphur entirely by 2002, crafting age-worthy wines that are, in Stanko's words, "totally genuine." While the core of the estate was formed around plantings of Ribolla Gialla, Stanko’s parents also added small parcels of Merlot, Tocai Friulano and Pinot Grigio.

    Other Reviews....
    Dark and beastly, in the best possible way, the 2013 Pignoli smolders up with a blend of cedar, cloves, dried black cherries, ashen stone and camphor. This is silky-smooth upon entry, with a zesty acidic core to balance. Tart wild berry fruits mingle with saline minerals and hints of sour citrus. Grippy Pignolo tannins take control through the finish, tapering off pleasantly bitter and long. Rosy inner florals and steeped plum nuances linger long. The 2013 is on the cusp of its drinking window, yet built for a long evolution. Drink 2026-2034.

    This 3781 Riserva is only produced in the best vintages, with the number representing parcel of the best grapes harvested that year. 100% Ribolla Gialla which sees three months skin contact, four years in barrel, and then ten years in bottle prior to release.

    Other Reviews....
    A blend of dried apricot, ginger, incense and cedar shavings wafts up from the 2009 Ribolla 3781 to form its spicy bouquet. This is surprisingly fresh and energetic, following the performance on the nose, yet quickly gains in tension as saline minerals and citrus tones saturate. The 2009 tapers off earthy and savory, leaving suggestions of sous bois and a salty flourish that lingers on. The Ribolla 3781 is a harvest selection from the 2009 vintage. This spends four years in barrel following three months of maceration on the skins. Radikon has since lowered the aging period to three years in barrel to reduce some of the oxidation present here. Drink 2024-2031.

    A name that will be new to most whisky lovers: Thirty minutes drive south from Glasgow, nestled in the heart of Ayrshire, Lochlea is an independent family-owned distillery - now a rare thing in the Scotch whisky industry. Producing since 2018, their approach is small-batch, innovative and flexible without the constraints of a large corporate structure. Barley is grown on the farm and an on-site water source is employed, so there's full traceability over production. Adelphi's selection was matured in a single first fill Bourbon barrel. 265 bottles are on offer at 59.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $149. 99
    Bottle
    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    Not only have Ardnamurchan been busy celebrating the distillery turning ten years old, they've also launched their first ever Sauternes cask malt. It's made up of unpeated spirit initially matured for over five years in first-fill bourbon casks before being transferred to Sauternes barriques for an additional 2.5 years. Clocking up eight years in oak makes it one of the distillery's oldest releases to date. Bottled at high strength, the batch equates to 6000 bottles across the globe.

    For those who don't already know, Sauternes is a famous Bordeaux wine region synonymous with the world's finest sweet white wines. No surprise then that the secondary ageing adds another twist to the Hebridean spirit - a nose full of apricot jam, almond flakes, marzipan, brioche and dried stone fruit, followed by a finish that's less sweet than the nose, wonderfully balanced and slightly dry with some of that classic Ardnamurchan salinity shining through. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    ABV: 26%

    The Birello family have been preparing this Amaro since 1973, the same year their company was founded with a dream to set up their own business in liqueurs and grappa. It was initially labeled as 'Pilger', but in 2009 it became Amaro di Langa after the recipe was improved with the addition of a good percentage of herbs from local farms, including mallow, lemon balm, hyssop, lavender, rosemary and damask rose. They also use herbs, flowers and roots known for their digestive and bittering properties such as gentian, wormwood, nutmeg, yarrow and bitter orange. It adds up to a total of 26 ingredients, all cold macerated for a more delicate extraction. The resulting aromatics are complex, deep, rich and enticing with nutmeg and bitter herbaceous notes married with bitter orange, mint and gentian, hints of poached fruits and traces of cinnamon warmth. Softer, rounder and less assertive than the nose anticipates, the palate strikes a fine balance between sweet and bitter, with subtle notes of gentian, cinchona, cola and soft spices through the finish - a good starting point for newcomers to the category. 26% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Unquestionably the softest, least aggressive whisky I have tasted for the 2020 Whisky Bible. 89 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2020

    ...Nikka Days is probably the newest product to join the Nikka stable - only released in mid-2020, it joins other blended whisky expressions from Nikka such as the Nikka Tailored, Super Nikka, Nikka From The Barrel, and many more. As the name suggests, this was designed for easy daily drinking and is a Bourbon cask aged blend of malt and grain whiskies from across the Nikka spectrum and likely from the Ben Nevis Scotch distillery as well (making it not purely a Japanese whisky). It comes in a really pretty bottled with a yellow theme that is a really nice pop on an otherwise traditionally more muted whisky shelf. This was as expected very approachable, easy to drink, but with a nice added hit of citrusy flavours and smoked cream which amounts to a decent complexity. For an entry level whisky, the aroma and finish was particularly standout and definitely made me feel that this punched above its weight. If you’re going to buy something entry level, I genuinely think this should be your pick. It’s not over-oaked, it’s not thin to a sin, no off notes or sharpness, nor is it actually bad in any way - for the most part it’s quite the delight. Don’t count this one out. Solid pick, cute bottle, nice whisky. - 88bamboo.co

    A beautifully finessed Chardonnay that combines power and freshness with a refined feel.

    From a family who have been managing vineyards in Marlborough since the 1970's, after a significant stint at Fromm winery, ending as General Manager, Will Hoare and his wife Rachel decided to venture out on their own to produce wine from the incredible vineyards they had access to. For this wine fruit was sourced from a block in the central Wairau plains of Marlborough planted entirely with the Mendoza clone around the mid 1980’s. Originally a riverbed, this block is naturally warm during the day, as well as at night, thanks to the radiating effect of the exposed greywacke rock lying beneath the vines. The rock radiates heat up into the canopy, making this vineyard an ideal site for ripening Chardonnay.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Showing wonderful aromatic lift, the nose is engulfed with ripe white peach, dried honey and more subtle crème brulee scents which are trailed by some biscuity nougat, cashew and spice notes. The palate features a refined, creamy like textural feel with rich fleshy peach, dried honey and crème brulee flavours filling the mouth. Citrusy nougat, cashew, biscuit and delicate infusions of gun flint lie underneath. Fresh and amply powered it finishes long and beautifully finessed.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    Firework flint, lemon oil and yellow peach cheeks. Grapefruit sorbet and cold butter log. Almond milk creaminess with a deft handling of oak on the palate. Cumin, powdered ginger and white pepper. This delivers the charitable dimensions of chardonnay with a breeze of gently rolling acidity and brilliance of a chiselled precious stone. Peach cream and baked meringue on the finish. Drinking beautifully and will age further. Wonderful to see the confidence and precision from a new player. Very exciting. Drink by 2028.

    $479.88 Dozen
    ABV: 17%

    Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti was established in 1906 in the historic Piazza Fiera in the center of Trento. Today they're located 20 km south of Trento in Aldeno, surrounded by vineyards and apple orchards. As the name would suggest, the firm was and remains focused on products made from traditional herbs, roots and flowers. They achieved fame in the region for their amari and aperitivi, including the classic red bitter Aperitivo Cappelletti. All production is done in house by the fourth generation of the family, Luigi and Maddalena Cappelletti.

    This ruby-red aperitif includes botanicals sourced from the Dolomite hills and valleys in Italy's Triveneto region, the birthplace of the Spritz. Mazzura's colour comes from a unique blend of flowers and fruits that is entirely natural. Its aromas conjure red apples, cinnamon and bitter notes of gentian and citrus peel, while the flavour features subtle herbal accents, like fresh thyme and rosemary plus a tang of citrus and a pleasing bitterness. Enjoy over ice with a splash of soda, or try it in a Negroni or Boulevardier or Spritz. 17% Alc./Vol. Vegan friendly.

    Foursquare Magisterium Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVI 16 Year Old Full Proof Single Blended Rum (700ml)
    BARBADOS
    $250. 00
    Bottle
    $3000.00 Dozen
    ABV: 58%

    "Richard Seale has done it again. Magisterium is such a fun rum that carves its own path, even after 26 specialized releases in the ECS series."

    Marque number XXVI (26) in the Exceptional Cask Series is the curiously named 'Magisterium', a blend of three 16-year-old single blended rums distilled in two stills: a Double-Retort Pot Still and a Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still. Out of the three rums, two were double-matured. One spent three years aging in ex-bourbon casks and 13 years in ex-oloroso sherry barrels; another spent nine years in ex-bourbon casks and seven years in ex-oloroso sherry. The third component was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels for 16 years. That makes it the first heavily sherried expression since the ECS Sovereignty, widely regarded as a series favourite. The make up should appeal equally to lovers of dark, brooding cask strength single malts, as much as Foursquare fans. The final rum is bottled at 58% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The rum is 16 years old and it does have a very pronounced oak notes initially. There is a sweetness that mingles nicely alongside the bitter oak char. Which prevents either element from unbalancing the mix. Beneath this we have an array of rich dark fruits – almost like a Black Forest Gateaux filling. The rum is more intense and less sweet than the nose suggested. The mid palate takes on an intense oak and dry astringency. Lifted by notes of dark chocolate and those dark fruits. There are hints of leather and a little shoe polish from time to time. The finish on Foursquare Magisterium is quite dry and again exhibits a fair amount of oak. It is long and very satisfying with a very lip smacking flavour! This is a another great entry into the Exceptional Cask Series. I have really enjoyed re-acquainting myself with a Foursquare rum as I haven’t had one for a while. Still producing really good stuff and still upping the ante in terms of tropical ageing. - thefatrumpirate.com

    "An understated essay in excellence..." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26

    What was the 'Extremely Rare 18 year old' is now titled 'Infinita 18 Year Old', with packaging updated to a vibrant blue gift box with copper accents. The expression is said to be a favourite of Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden. He says: “For me, Glenmorangie Infinita encapsulates every element of our house style in perfect harmony and is our most deliciously complex creation. There are aromas of honey, vanilla, narcissus and jasmine, and tastes of figs, dates, nuts, gentle spices and more. Fans of Glenmorangie 18 Years Old can rest assured that our wondrous whisky is unchanged. I’m sure they’ll agree that, as its new name suggests, Glenmorangie Infinita is deliciousness without end.” The whisky retains its flavour profile from Glenmorangie's characteristic distillation process and maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... This marriage of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks on Glenmorangie’s revamped 18 year old has created a delightful nose of heather honey, toasted oak, citrus peel, candied ginger, mandarin orange flan, lemon zest, icing sugar, and floral notes. Polished and elegant on the taste buds, with honeyed fruits, peach, mandarin, pepper, clove, and orange cake, with little licks of smoke, sultana, oak, and Olde English marmalade on the lengthy finish. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...extra time has changed things more than a little: The nose is richly earthy and laden with umami notes, almost leathery and vegetal rather than clearly herbal or grassy. A light furniture polish note adds a level of austerity to the experience. The palate at last sweetens things up, its baked apple character mixing with toasted almonds and crushed graham crackers, making for a chewy cobbler experience. A gentle beefiness endures here, some of that rye-driven greenery evoking rosemary and thyme. But watch carefully for a final burst of strawberries on the conclusion, along with a touch of saffron, which perk this rather savory experience up enough to keep things lively. - drinkhacker.com

    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Screw Cap

    Wakaze blends tradition and innovation, crafting sake with a uniquely global perspective. Their 'Classic' Japan is brewed in Yamagata to the same specifications as its Parisian counterpart, using table rice with a minimal polishing rate (90%) and White Koji mould for a touch of sweetness and bright acidity. The result is a creamy, umami-rich sake that reflects Wakaze’s modern approach.

    Tasting note: Pale lemon in the glass with a faint cloudy haze. Aromatically the nose leans savoury, opening with dried mushroom, rice bran, and yoghurt, with subtle dried fruit lurking beneath. Given time and with some warmth the fresh green fruit begins to emerge. The palate takes a more familiar approach, offering richer notes of earthy rice, cream, and candied ginger, complemented by hints of green melon, pawpaw, and white strawberry. A touch of sweetness on the finish adds balance, preventing the savoury elements from dominating.

    Be aware that Bailly noted that to this point the Bougros had only seen contact with stainless steel though it's possible he may rack it into barrel for a few months before it's bottled. A cool and reserved nose grudgingly offers up a combination of pronounced smoky mineral reduction, quinine and ocean breeze. The powerful, concentrated and muscular big-bodied flavors possess a lovely sense of underlying tension that also suffuses the crisp, very dry and beautifully long finish. This isn't refined, indeed it's borderline rustic but then again, elegance isn't why one buys Bougros. Drink through 2031+.

    The Bougros is made from purchased grapes. All in tank so far but will probably have a spell in barrel, to remove the minor reduction. A luminous lemon and lime colour. Actually, the reduction on the nose is minimal, though there are some interesting grenadine notes on the palate which is otherwise not too exuberant. Citrus zest infuses the back of the palate. Drink from 2028-2034.

    Very generous wood frames overtly exotic-suffused nose of mineral reduction, white peach, apricot, pretty floral and ample spice wisps. There is excellent punch to the refined middleweight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the lingering, firm and built-to-age finale. This too needs to develop more depth so more cellaring is in order plus it should help to better integrate the wood as this is pretty oaky today. Drink through 2030+.

    Lemony colour. A touch of the wet wool reduction, more usual on a wine with greater age, but not in itself suggesting evolution. This wet wool aromatic is really just a sulphur compound, I believe. Then very spicy behind with a raft of white fruit energy and good acidity. Hangs on in well, plenty of latent concentration, just closed at the moment. Drink from 2028-2038.

    Sunny, warm, toasty and plenty of acidity. A grand cru with power yet retains plenty of finesse and purity. Partly matured in barrel, the oak is certainly evident, although Olivier Bailly says the wood will virtually disappear after a year in bottle. Drink 2025-2032.

    Sons of Eden have been at the forefront of a new wave of Barossa winemakers revitalising the regions wine styles. Whilst some have pushed the barrier a little too far, overshooting the mark in their pursuit of elegance and freshness at the sacrifice of Barossa’s trademark richness, these boys regularly hit the bullseye. Right through their range of reds they are a model of consistency combining Barossa’s famed rich fruit with supple textures, a delicious savouriness and a fresh feel, never losing sight of what Barossa does best – produce rich, opulent full bodied reds.

    Rich, seductive and deeply fruited with a plush feel.

    The Marschall Family vineyards are located in the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts of the Barossa Valley with vines aged between 25 to 55 years old. Maturation takes place in a mix of new and seasoned oak hogsheads for a period of 14 months.
    Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Aromas of liquorice and dark plum engulf the nostrils with hints of ripe blueberry, vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth notes also chiming in. Rich, succulent and fleshy, dark plum, liquorice, blackberry and blueberry fruits carry a plush feel across the seductive palate. Fennel, spicy vanillin cedar and peppered earth characters sit in the background. Showing ample power it has velvet smooth tannins and a sleek feel. Long, deeply fruited, pepper laced finish.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    A crisp, nervy Sparkling that has a tense feel.

    Matured on lees for 4 years. A well proportioned mousse forms atop a very pale straw coloured base that has subtle flashes of pale gold to the edges. Steady, fine bead with aromas of pear, baked bread and yeast lees intermeshed with some brioche, citrus and delicate chalk notes. Crisp, nervy palate with citrus and green pear fruits framed by tense, sculptured acidity. Some toast, green apple and yeast lees elements unwind across the back half. Dry, chalky finish with a racy, tightly knit feel.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    Bottle

    ABV: 56.5%

    A more quintessential Glen Elgin would be hard to find.

    The official importer of The Single Malts of Scotland range has landed another very desirable Australian Exclusive. 260 bottles of this underdog malt from Fogwatt in Speyside are on offer. Revered by blenders, Glen Elgin's forte is its fruitiness - and the best examples are not just fruity, they're lush. Clear wort, a long fermentation time and slow distillation help shape its signature profile. Condensing then takes place in worm tubs adding body and complexity (it remains one of only a handful of distilleries that still uses worm tubs). Official bottlings are a rare sight these days with only a 12YO in production as part of Diageo's Hidden Malt range. In this Bourbon matured expression, the nose speaks of honey drizzled cereals and ripe cantaloupe. The oily delivery is gorgeously textural, thick, fruity and long with ripe pears and poached apples balanced by a flash of tangerine zest and a gentle tannic grip. There is a strong semblance to high class Linkwood, Cragganmore or even some Clynelish in its delicious, almost tropical fruitiness and threads of beeswax. If you've never tasted this style of malt, here's a perfect place to start. A more quintessential Glen Elgin would be hard to find. 56.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from the importers... Nose: Pear drops, waxy apple skins, paraffin candles, cinnamon sticks and creme brulee coalesce in a portrait of apple strudel dusted with icing sugar. Taste: Creamy and tropical, notes of juicy pineapple and strawberry cream combine with freshly baked apple pie and rich vanilla. Absolutely gorgeous! Finish: Juicy, creamy and light - medium length.
