2018 Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Screw Cap

Other Reviews…
From 1990s plantings of cabernet sauvignon and malbec. Something something Saint Crispin’s day, but for me, Agincourt is synonymous with this grimy pub on Broadway, Sydney, on the seedy edge of Chinatown, which hosted sweaty dance parties to the early mornings of the late-90s.

Lovely drinking, easy drinking, lots of easy pleasure, plush and soft tannins a feature, mulberry and boysenberry fruit too. Joyous kind of feel, uplifting, fleshy and cuddly, with barley there tannins doing just enough alongside some sprigs of dried herb for detail and added interest, the finish just slightly too lemony tangy sherbetty. Surprisingly lush in profile, flesh and puddles of bombastic character and easy to enjoy. Nice. Drink by 2030.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front (July 2020)

A wine of absolute charm. It's a 75/25% blend in cabernet's favour though it presents as a seamless whole. Blackcurrant, mulberry, roasted nut and fresh briar flavours come brightened by redcurrant. Tannin has melted in, clean acidity keeps it all fresh and true, the finish feels assured. It will age gracefully and (very) well. Drink by 2035.

Valdespino Deliciosa Manzanilla (375ml)

Sanlucar de Barrameda, SPAIN
$19. 99
Bottle
$239.88 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews...
The impressive line-up is opened with the pale-colored NV Manzanilla Deliciosa, which is produced with Palomino grapes from the Miraflores vineyard and aged for five years under yeast. It is a finer version of La Guita, easy to drink, with a sweet note of apples in the nose, a polished and gentle palate, ending with a saline touch. Drink 2013-2014.
I’ve often called Valdespino “the Romanee-Conti of Jerez.” Well, there, I’ve said it. To me they represent quality and tradition at the very top of the Sherry hierarchy. The winery, soleras and brands are old, registered in 1875, but with documentation about their commercial and winegrowing activities going back to the 13th century. Their recent history starts in 1999, when Jose Estevez purchases the company from the Valdespino family. Today Valdespino is the jewel in the crown of the Grupo Estevez, which also includes Real Tesoro and La Guita, who stock and age 35,000 botas of Sherry and own 800 hectares of vineyards, 56 of which come from the Pago Macharnudo, on pure white albariza soil, one of the best vineyards in the Marco de Jerez, and 17 hectares from the heart of Macharnudo are still fermented in bota today and form the core of brands like Inocente, Tio Diego, CP or Cardenal. All the wines were carefully and slowly moved to the new facilities of the Grupo Estevez on the outskirts of Jerez, where they continue their development under the supervision of Eduardo Ojeda, technical director, winemaker, who as a wine-lover is very aware of his role preserving these old soleras, wines and traditions.

2014 Pascal Agrapart Mineral Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne Grand Cru Magnum (1500ml)

Champagne, FRANCE
$699. 00
Bottle
$8388.00 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2014 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is a powerful, intense Champagne that captures all of the natural power of these old vines in Avize and Cramant. Aptly named, the Minéral is infused with tremendous mineral and soil inflections that give a real feeling of gravitas. Crushed rocks, slate, chalk and citrus accents are some of the many nuances that emerge with a bit of time in the glass. This release is fabulous. It is also a reticent wine, though, so at least a year or two in bottle will help soften. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2020.

Routin Blanc Vermouth (750ml)

FRANCE
$41. 99
Bottle
$503.88 Dozen

ABV: 16%

Philibert Routin created this Blanc Vermouth more than a century ago incorporating plants, flowers and spices macerated in local Chambéry wine for several weeks. It continues to be produced in Chambéry using white Sauvignon and local Jacquère wines and an artful blend of eighteen botanicals (wormwood, Bourbon vanilla beans, thyme, cinnamon, elderflower and more). With a floral/herbal bouquet characterised by aromatic thyme, as well as light spice, its sweet, fruity taste make it delicious served straight, on ice, with a lemon wedge or a slice of pink grapefruit. Alternatively, try it as a long drink, diluted with sparkling water or slightly bitter tonic - an apéritif favourite.

Other reviews... Herbaceous aromas lead into a light bodied palate marked by mild pear sweetness, finishing light and crisp with hints of fresh-snipped herbs and cinnamon. Versatile; sip or mix. Best Buy. 16% Alc./Vol. 94 points - wineenthusiast.com TOP 100 SPIRITS 2019.

Storage advice: Unopened bottles of Vermouth should be kept upright, like spirits. Once opened, keep chilled. Like any fortified wine, Vermouth is sensitive to oxygen, which impairs its aromatic bouquet and its flavour. Refrigeration slows the process of oxidisation.

Benriach The Smokey Twelve 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Ranked number 3 in Whisky Advocate's 2020 Top 20.

Other reviews... Benriach is a sleeper of a single malt, but that’s about to change. Part of a 2020 relaunch of its core line, this grabbed our attention with its sophistication, breadth of flavors, and lovely refinement. Much of the credit surely goes to master blender Rachel Barrie for creating a smoky whisky that both peat lovers and the peat-wary can enjoy. Rather than medicinal intensity, the peat is redolent of gentle, sweetly smoky fruits that integrate seamlessly with notes of vanilla, toasted almond, chocolate, blueberry, and bacon. It beckons like the wafting smoke of a warming autumn bonfire, then welcomes with its lush and velvety embrace. Number 3 in the 2020 Top 20.

2014 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Vite Talin

Piedmont, ITALY
$899. 00
Bottle
$10788.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
With a September 2019 release date, the 2014 Barolo Vite Talin is robust, with broad shoulders and beautiful aromas of spice and herbs. There is a fullness and generosity to its meaty notes, while it shows a more rustic side when put side by side with the 2015: The tannins here make their presence well known, and the wine has a wild side overall. The Vite Talin is a wine that has a way of responding to difficult harvests like this one. The grapes survived for a reason, and what you get here is not your classic approach to Barolo at all. This expression explores new boundaries, and it will be a hard wine to forget. This Barolo was born following 25 years of experimentation, and only 2,200 precious bottles were made.
96 points
Monica Larner - Wine Advocate (Jun 2019)

The 2014 Barolo Vite Talin is fabulous. Rich and ample in feel, the 2014 melds together the natural richness this heavily virused clone produces in its tiny yields with the freshness of 2014. Black cherry, licorice, spice, menthol and chocolate are all given an extra kick of textural richness in this positively stunning Barolo that is easily one of the most compelling wines of this tricky year. The cold, late-ripening year produced an exotic Barolo laced with hints of apricot and wild flowers that are unusual in Barolo.
97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The newest addition to the firm's iconic offerings, this is the result of 25 years of Sandrone's experiments with very old Nebbiolo vines. It's an impressive combination of power and finesse, opening with aromas of smoke, woodland berry, camphor, wild herb, new leather and truffle. The chiseled palate boasts youthful tension, delivering juicy Marasca cherry, strawberry compote, tobacco and tangy mineral set against a backbone of youthfully austere but refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Hold on to this one and you'll be rewarded.

Don Papa Masskara Rum (700ml)

PHILIPPINES
$175. 00
Bottle
$2100.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Don Papa Masskara is a limited edition celebrating the famous party on the Philippines’ Negros island, going by the name of Masskara (aka 'Smile party'). It's essentially the original Don Papa rum enriched by mixing in other local ingredients including honey from the Kanlaon forest, the Filipino citrus variety Calamondin and local Siling Labuyo chillies. The striking label was designed by Olaf Hajek.

Other reviews... In a body of this rum you can smell and taste the original Don Papa's vanilla, although there is additional taste of the honey and dried fruit. It is really sweet rum, already close to Elixir rums. 40% Alc./Vol. - rumratings.com

2018 Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz

$1320.00 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 12 Years (2021-2033)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a bright purple dark red hue. Sailing out of the glass are perfumed like aromatics of spicy plum, red liquorice, blueberry and violets which are complimented by some clove, dried meat, earth and vanillin cedar notes. The elegant mid weighted palate shows plenty of finesse with a delicious mix of red and blue fruits overseeing a back drop of light clove, vanillin cedar and spicy pepper. Finishes vibrant and youthful with perfectly integrated fine grained tannins and a long refined red fruited aftertaste.
Cellar 10-12 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews…
Shiraz from plantings in 1973. Underhill makes me think of Middle Earth and Tolkein, but here I assume it is something else, and damned if I have asked in 20+ years in the wine community of Australia. I really should. Meanwhile, this is a very good release.

Supple, long, savoury and bright, game meat and just ripe red berries in a cavalcade of flavour and delicious texture, rolls long, wonderful, with authority and a general sense of quality. Lithe and tissue-pappery tannins a treat, the feel just righteous. It’s a wine that hits the glass with a slosh of ‘yes!’, with the first whiff on the first nostril off an arm’s length. The first sip a ‘yep!’, and you’re on your way. It feels fancy and good, complex and interesting, easy on the palate and showing us all what shiraz can do when great. Drink by 2035.
95 points
Mike Bennie - The Wine Front (July 2020)

A wine with long fingers and arms. It was grown on a single block of shiraz, planted in '73. It eats elegance for breakfast, berried fruit for lunch, herb and wood spice notes for afters. Plum, char, smoked herbs, fresh red cherries, a slip of creamy/smoky oak. The balance of this wine is an experience in itself. Best of all: it pushes out gloriously through the finish. Drink by 2036.

2019 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30

Cornas, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Vincent Paris is a native of Cornas, a Northern Rhône appellation famous for its steep, granite, terraced slopes. Vincent’s first vintage was in 1997, having inherited vineyards from his grandfather and purchased some from his uncle, legendary Cornas vigneron Robert Michel, on his retirement in 2006. The biodynamically farmed vineyards are located in various parcels along the southeast facing Cornas slope. Vincent’s Granit 30 and Granit 60 take their names from the slope and gradient of the vineyards and average vine age respectively. Vincent’s famed 100+ year old, 1.3 hectare La Geynale parcel, in the Reynard area of Cornas and owned by his family for four generations, is comprised of old vines planted by his great-grandfather in 1910.

Other Reviews....
Mineral-driven aromas of ripe black/blue fruits, peony, olive and exotic spices on the nose. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering gently sweet, mineral-kissed cherry and blueberry flavors that deepen slowly with air and show sharp delineation. The blue fruit note drives an impressively long, spicy finish that's given subtle grip by fine-grained, even tannins.
92-94 points
Josh Raynolds - Vinous

Lovely ripe freshness to the fruit, really bright summer pudding aromas. Mouthcoating fruit and tannin, very fine tannin. Acidity is surprisingly marked. Plenty of ripe tannins, they're quite lively, textural, fruit-derived. Very juicy, very fruity, concentrated and ripe. No great depth, very accessible. 10-year-old vines, all destemmed.

Aberlour Triple Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

A bottling otherwise exclusive to the French market. Matured in bourbon barrels, bourbon hogsheads and Oloroso sherry casks. Expect an easy drinker.

Other reviews... A new NAS at low strength, hum-hum… Colour: deep gold. Nose: easy and malty, typically malt for the upper blend drinkers, so some kind of access-category malt whisky, in the league of Cardhu and Knockando. Guinness, Mars bars, a touch of pinewood, some gentle earth, and of course, many roasted nuts and toasted cakes. Shall we call it ‘rather Chivassy’? Mouth: good! It’s often on the palate that things go a little off the track with these cheaper malts, and indeed I’m finding it a little thin and a little too caramelised/caramelly, but other than that, there’s some fine chocolate and quite a lot of toasted bread and brioche, plus notes of maple syrup. Roasted peanuts. Finish: medium, rather coating, malty and chocolaty. Nice raisins and nuts. Comments: a no brainer, perfectly well made. No one will find this wee baby unpleasant.

1981 Darroze Domaine De Lahitte Old Cask Strength Bas Armagnac (200ml)

Armagnac, FRANCE
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Francois and Marc Darroze are the watchful and patient custodians of 250 different Armagnacs, including more than 50 vintages (spanning a century), sourced from the western portion of the Bas-Armagnac region, historically referred to as Grand Bas-Armagnac. Little surprise then that uber critic Robert Parker named Marc’s father, Francois, “the Pope of Armagnac”.

Around 30 estates contribute to their "Unique Collection" with each barrel finishing its ageing in the Roquefort and Labastide d’Armagnac cellars.These are rustic spirits, entering the alembic via small vineyards, distilled by reputable mobile distillers, each demanding several decades of careful ageing in oak barrels in order to express a sense of place and vintage. The typical Armagnac grower raises a range of animals fed by many different crops, plus a small vineyard, part of which is distilled every year and aged in one or more barrels which constitute the savings of the farm. A sick bull, a dying horse or a retiring tractor are repaired or replaced by the sale of a barrel. Multiply the number of farms and vintages and you have the dizzying variety of the Darroze collection: Different because each farm is almost as unique as each barrel. Add to this zero reduction (only through ageing), no caramel colouring as well as labeling transparency and you have Armagnacs that are all about the time in oak (once in glass, nothing improves or changes. An 1890 Armagnac bottled in 1900 is no better than a 2007 bottled in 2017, but collectors don't want you to know that!)

This expression from Domaine de Lahitte was bottled in November 2020 at a natural strength of 46% Alc./Vol.

A restrained, and equally pure, cool and airy nose reluctantly offers up a pretty array of red and black pinot fruit, rose petal, spice and an interesting hint of orange peel. The sleek and wonderfully refined flavors are lacy but punchy while also brimming with minerality on the tension-filled bitter cherry pit-infused finish that exhibits excellent length. This is lovely stuff though a wine that will require at least some patience.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The first sample, served blind in the pairing of Clos des 60 Ouvrées. Fractionally the lighter colour. The nose is significantly ripe with some dark plum fruit. This fills the mouth, some slightly floral notes at the very back but in the middle some clean fresh raspberry and strawberry and very good length.

Mostly blended but still in barrel, the 2018 Cote Rotie Ampodium is a terrific introduction to the Côte Rôties of Rostaing. Mulberries and licorice appear on the nose, followed by savory notes of espresso and black olives on the medium to full-bodied palate. It's silky, fine and complex, with a long, softly dusty finish. I also tasted a richer, more structured lot from la Viallière that will be blended in, along with a terrific-looking barrel from Leyat that will add floral, raspberry and mocha notes.

2018 Domaine des Ardoisieres Amethyste

Savoie, FRANCE
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

ABV: 11%

Closure: Cork

The Savoie region is nestled within the French Alps, not far from Chambéry. Once one powerful wine region with 20,000 hectares planted on the complex slopes of the mountain, it's now a small region, totalling 3,000 hectares. Most of the vineyards have been replanted on the flat, where the machines can find their way but not the quality. However, in 1998, one very special slope called "Coteau de Cevins" abandoned for decades was brought back to life by the Mayor of the area Denis Perroux and Michel Grisard, one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Savoie. The Coteau de Cevins once produced some of the most exciting wines of France.

The Coteau de Cevins was replanted in 1998 with the original, very qualitative vines of Persan and Mondeuse noire (red) as well as Altesse, Roussanne , Mondeuse blanche, Malvoisie and Jacquère (white). The slope reaches 60% of inclination, and the vines are planted on terrasses of very old, complex mica schists, loam and sand. With 8,000 vines planted per hectare and 25 hectolitres per hectare produced, it is the Grand Cru hill of Savoie. Out of this magnificent hill, three wines are produced, called Quartz, Schiste and Améthyste. The first real crop was harvested in 2002. In 2005, Brice Omont was appointed wine grower and director of Domaine des Ardoisières, to pursue the work Michel Grisard had started.

In addition to the Coteau de Cevins, Brice Omont started to rent a vineyard on the Coteau de St Pierre de Soucy in 2008 in order to produce wines from clay and limestone soils and schist. The two Cuvée Argile white and red were born. In 2015, Brice Omont started to rent another vineyard of great quality Jacquère to produce Silice, a highly addictive cuvée of white alpine wine.

The Améthyste Rouge is a blend of two quintessential Savoie varieties, Persan and Mondeuse. It was fermented with wild yeasts and aged in neutral French oak for 18 months. It's concentrated and structured, with dense red and black fruits, licorice, and subtle pepper, finishing with brisk acidity and firm, gravelly tannins.

2015 Salicutti Piaggione Brunello di Montalcino

Tuscany, ITALY
$230. 00
Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The Salicutti 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione is a mid-weight red wine with a deep and lasting aromatic impact. The wine offers very vertical or lifted aromas of dried fruit, cedar wood, tilled earth, cigar, cola and medicinal herb. It also shows a lot of balsamic character, and this is something I often recognize in warm-vintage Brunello, while it offers less primary fruit. The character here is ethereal and fragrant, shedding any monolithic tones you might expect of a wine of this depth and persistence. I would recommend a medium-term drinking window so that you catch the fruit before it fades.

Monica Larner - Wine Advocate (Oct 2020)

Fully saturated red. Captivating aromas of red cherry, strawberry nectar, roses, violet and sweet spices. Dense, juicy and extremely well-balanced, with vibrant flavors of red fruit, spices and minerals complicated by notes of sweet pipe tobacco and coffee. The finish is long, precise and very pure. One of the year’s best Brunellos.

Bright cherry and juniper flavors are the main flavor themes, augmented by strawberry, wild thyme, stone and loam notes. Taut, elegant and well-structured, balanced and long. The finish reveals this wine's potential. Best from 2023 through 2045.

Bursting with striking red-fruit aromas and delicate cinnamon, clove and star anise notes, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is another terrific vintage from this estate. While certainly full-bodied and powerful, it's also lithe and silky, with an almost airy feel on the palate that translates into great elegance on the lengthy finish.

Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate (Sep 2020)

Deep magenta. Intensely perfumed, mineral-tinged raspberry and cherry preserve scents are complicated by garrigue and Moroccan spice nuances. Juicy and appealingly sweet, displaying fleshy red fruit liqueur, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Smoothly balances richness and energy and finishes extremely long and sappy, with smooth, harmonious tannins and a strong echo of candied flowers.
94-96 points
Josh Raynolds - Vinous

Due to devastating yields, there’s not much of the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape to go around, but it’s going to be worth the extra effort to track down. Based on 50% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah (and a splash of other permitted varieties), it offers a textbook, classic Châteauneuf du Pape nose of mulled red and black fruits, Provençal garrigue, ground pepper, and saddle leather. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Clos des Papes that has thrillingly polished tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. Made in a style similar to the 1999, 2004, and maybe a kiss of the 2006, it has the beautiful elegance (again, a Grand Cru Burgundy comes to mind) paired with plenty of intensity and length. I doubt it will shut down and it’s going to evolve nicely for 15-20 years or more.

1800 Reserva Anejo 100% Agave Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Closure: Cork

1800 is a 100% Agave Tequila. To understand how this distinguishes it from other Tequila, it is necessary to know something of the process by which tequila is produced. Although Mexico is famed as the land of the cactus, Tequila is in fact distilled from the fermented juice of the Agave Plant, (not a cactus) otherwise known as the ‘Century plant.’ The Agave plant resembles an unripe, oversized pineapple or spiked cactus which shoots a giant blossom that can take up to twelve years to produce. At maturity, it stands about 5 feet high, is bluish green in colour and has a heart or ‘pina’ . It is these hearts which are actually used in the distillation process, the sweet juice extracted by compression, steaming and washing prior to fermentation & distillation.
The fermentation stage determines whether the final product will be 100 percent agave or mixed ("mixto"). The highest-quality Tequila is made using only fermented agave juice mixed with some water. Mixto however, is made by fermenting and then distilling a mix of agave juice and other sugars, usually cane sugar with water. Mixtos made and bottled in Mexico can contain up to 40% alcohol derived from other sugars. Mixtos that have been shipped in bulk for bottling overseas may have the agave content further reduced to 51% by the foreign bottler. Mexican law states that all 100% agave or aged Tequila must be bottled in Mexico. 100 percent agave Tequilas are clearly labelled as such. Anything else is classified as a Mixto Tequila, however the term is seldom used on bottle labels.
1800 is today the number one selling aged super premium tequila in America. Rested in French oak casks to create a distinctive smoothness, it boasts an exceptional mellowness making it the ultimate shot.
Other reviews... The first whiffs reveal plump, toffee-caramel notes underpinned by an asparagus-like agave aroma; aeration unearths nuances of fennel, white pepper, sage and rosemary—a complex and engaging bouquet. Palate entry is vegetal, green and off-dry; at midpalate the flavor profile turns sweet and sour, fruity and oaky. Concludes on a bittersweet note that somehow closes the circle on the journey. 90-95 points - wineenthusiast.com

St. Agnes XO 15 Year Old Brandy (700ml)

Renmark, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

From Cornwall in the early 1880’s came Dr. W.T.Angove with his young family to settle at Tea Tree Gully in South Australia. He established a practise as a country doctor and planted vines as a recreation. That venture into viticulture grew into wine making and then into distilling. It was in 1910 when that young enterprise extended to Renmark in the Murray River Valley where the sun and soil grow grapes particularly suited to making fine brandy. St.Agnes X.O. is twice distilled by the time honoured pot still method and then matured in oak wood casks. The blend of spirits is no older than its youngest part and by Australian law, for a brandy to be designated “Very Old” that youngest part must have been matured in oak wood casks for at least 10 years. By this rule, St.Agnes X.O. is more than 20 years old: in the blend some portion is up to 50 years old.
Despite being relatively young, this is arguably the St Agnes that's closest in style to Cognac, albeit a very full-bodied one - cask strength or perhaps single cask. It is marginally lighter and less profound, but has an elegance and finesse that sets it apart from the older bottlings, like a VSOP cognac that almost outperforms the house XO. There's a superb balance of fruit sweetness with creme caramel and buttery oak matched by serious length and poise. It's world class. 40% Alc./Vol.
First tasted 2005... Age is revealed in its slightly glycerous, deep brassy / burnished copper appearance. The aromatics are heavy, sweet and sensuous with a superb amalgam of vanilla, honey, creme caramel with some fresh orange / raisin fruit cake notes underlying. Entry is soft and silky with a plush, semi sweet profile that includes dates, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Very gently warming spirit. Super fine, dusty tannins dry the mid palate; finishes fresh with a persistent orange cake, caramel and cocoa fade that returns late and with surprising intensity. 94 points
Other reviews... This brandy is all about the subtle integration of fruit and oak. At 15 years of age, it’s impressive that the oak hasn’t taken over, showing serious attention to detail in the cask selection and blending process. A delicate nose of waxed fruit hints at real power despite the relatively low alcohol, and the oak is a teasing rather than aggressive presence. The easy-going palate reveals layers of marzipan, orange cake, and gentle tannin, making it effortless to drink. This has long been one of my favourite Australian spirits, so I’m trying not to let confirmation bias get in the way, but there’s nothing to fault. The texture is there in spades, a difficult achievement when grapes have far less naturally occurring oils than grains. 95 points - Fred Siggins, James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Further notes from the producers: St. Agnes XO Brandy is a deeply coloured, full-bodied and extremely complex spirit. The extended marriage of spirit, wood and time has produced an aromatic brandy with subtle rancio aromas evident. The palate is smooth, dry and long with a nutty oak aftertaste. It is a brandy that because of its complexity, finesse and elegance has become the benchmark of Australian aged brandies. A prodigious winner of medals and trophies at local and Euopean Wine Shows, St. Agnes 7 Star XO Very Old Brandy is Australia's most highly awarded premium brandy. It has on two occasions won a World Championship Trophy .

Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

Wild Turkey was first created as a hospitality gesture for a group of wealthy sportsmen seeking the remarkable wild turkey bird. In 1893 Bourbon made by the famous Ripy brothers at the distillery was selected from more than four hundred whiskeys to represent Kentucky at the World's Fair. After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the old Ripy distillery was put back to work creating what many consider to be the finest bourbon ever to come out of Kentucky. Wild Turkey has since become something of a bench mark.
This reduced strength version of the original eight year old 101 proof debuted in 1974 in response to market demand for lower proof bourbon. Aged for at least four years (although others say 6 to 8) it's distilled according to age-old Kentucky traditions and matured in charred white oak barrels. Style-wise it's a more masculine Bourbon that while drinkable neat or with a splash of water, really works best as a mixer. Whisky Advocate say you can expect "Very traditional bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, mint, cinnamon, sweet corn, and orchard fruit."
Little known fact...
Since 1992, Wild Turkey Bourbon has provided title sponsorship of the National Wild Turkey Federations National Turkey Calling Championships. Each year,about 30,000 avid sportsmen and wild turkey enthusiasts flock to the annual convention and sport show. Spectators gather to watch contestants cluck, putt, purr and gobble their way to the highest level of 'turkeydom.' The competitors use box and slate calling devices, as well as mouth diaphragms, tubes and their natural voices!
Other reviews... Attractive traces of walnut oil amid the soft corn and firmer rye on the nose. An immediate impact of massive oak-laden, liquoriced corn and firmer more mouthwatering grains. The finish sweetens with a slight stirring of honey. It's not just the extra strength that takes this into a different class from the 80 proof. Much better barrel selection, underlined by some suprising liquorice notes Easily the best non-age-stated standard Wild Turkey I've ever come across.

Finlandia Vodka (700ml)

$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 37.5%

Finlandia is produced using Finnish six-row barley. Distillation takes place at the state-of-the art distillery of Koskenkorva, Finland. The water used in its production is naturally filtered through glacial moraine and is considered so pure that it’s used straight without any chemical filtration.

The product was first launched in Scandinavia in 1970, and in the U.S. market one year later. Originally targeted towards the American consumer, it was later introduced into the world's key markets between 1977-1983. Since the 1990’s, Finlandia Vodka’s popularity has steadily grown and Finlandia is today available in over 100 countries making it one of the world’s leading premium vodkas.

No doubt Finlandia’s packaging has had some influence on the brands international success. Through its various incarnations, the Finlandia Vodka bottle has always conveyed the impression of an ice-cold drink from the frosty North, embodying the most desirable qualities of vodka: purity, clarity, icy chill and refreshment. The original label featured two white reindeer sparring against the midnight sun low on the horizon. Finlandia’s original visual identity was slightly adjusted in 1983. The twist cap colour was changed from red to blue, and a light blue tint was added to the glass to increase the perception of clarity and purity. The bottle also became slightly more broad-shouldered and the label colour altered from the original black to navy blue.From 1990 onwards, the reindeer relations were changed: three reindeers trotting ahead in unison, creating the sense of dynamic movement. The new, now familiar Finlandia Vodka bottle was first launched in 1998. The bottle is minimalist in style, slenderized and modern. The paper label has been dropped and replaced with lacquered text with the closure now being a stylish silver toned cap.

Tasting note: Clear, colourless appearance. Mild stone fruit nose. Smooth and supple on the palate with a light-to medium-body and mellow grain and fruit notes. Finishes very smoothly with just a hint of alcohol and peppery fruit. A well made, extremely easy to drink style of vodka. 37.5% Alc./Vol.

Jose Cuervo Especial Reposado Tequila (700ml)

Bottle
$827.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

Closure: Cork

In 1795, when José Cuervo (Cuervo meaning "crow") began commercially producing and distributing tequila, he used an image of a crow to label each barrel of his product for the many customers who couldn’t read Spanish. This branding mark represents the Cuervo family name and was also used to brand their cattle. In creating this memorable symbol of tequila, José Cuervo proved himself to be an early innovator in packaging design. It seems the crow has been, and always will be, affiliated with the time-honoured quality and legacy of Jose Cuervo Tequila, as well as Tequila itself.
There are two basic styles of tequila: Gold Tequilas, which typically display a pungent aroma, more oaky dryness, spice and more complexity than their silver counterparts. White or Silver Tequila is an altogether simpler drink – clean and colourless, sometimes with a pronounced ‘fruity’ character, sometimes earthy, deep and pungent. It is the style most often used in mixing, its flavour being more subtly disguised. This gold tequila from Jose Cuervo is made from Blue Agave and a blend of Reposado and other aged Cuervo tequilas. Its distinctive character and consistent quality has helped consolidate Cuervo's position as the largest manufacturer of tequila in the world.

Rye whisky was the traditional American saddlebag whisky. It is, as its name suggests, simply made using a larger proportion of Rye as opposed to corn. Rye whisky must be produced at no more than 160 proof and be aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years to be designated 'straight'.
Tasting note: Amber gold. Some piercing rye spiciness that's also minty, mustard-like, then the sweeter base notes enter edging the bouquet towards rye-heavy Bourbon. Nice intensity with medium dry flavours suggesting dried dill and spearmint over background vanilla and bubblegum. Peppers up at the finish which is vibrant, warming, minty, mildly tannic, medium long and try to style. Value buy. 40% Alc./Vol.

Bouvet Saphir Saumur Brut Vintage Double Magnum (3000ml)

Saumur, Loire Valley, FRANCE
$180. 00
Bottle
$2160.00 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

Bouvet Ladubay is regarded by many wine lovers as the finest expression of sparkling wine from the Loire Valley. The house was founded in 1851 by Etienne Bouvet, the son of a vigneron-sommelier who encouraged the young Bouvet in the wine trade. Recognizing the Loire's terroir to be extremely well-suited to the production of sparkling wines, he settled on the bank of the Loire River just outside the town of Saumur. Ms. Ladubay, Etienne’s accountant, soon became his wife, and the firm was christened “Bouvet-Ladubay”. After many years of ownership by Champagne Taittinger, Bouvet Ladubay is once again fully owned by the Monmousseau family who have continuously run the business since their purchase in 1932. Bouvet Ladubay employs precisely the same wine making process as Grand Marque Champagne, delivering French sophistication at an everyday price.

The grapes for the Bouvet 'Blanc' methode champenoise are predominantly Chenin Blanc, a varietal which has been grown in the Loire Valley prior to the Roman conquest of France. Bouvet source their grapes from 120 properties around Saumur - spread over an area of 15 x 30 kilometres. The notion of using such a diversity of vineyard sites is to provide complexity to the base wines. Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley employ a similar process. These 120 micro climates each provide the wine maker with base material that when blended together will create the sensation of considerable complexity. The art of blending is critical and at Bouvet the third generation of blenders from the same family are in charge - in fact they have been creating the blend for the last 60 years. State of the art, temperature controlled stainless-steel fermentation tanks, computer-regulated 'gyropallets,' or riddling machines, highly advanced freezing and disgorging equipment and micro-wave cork heaters have brought Bouvet’s vinification facility to the technical forefront. The winery itself however, remains an impressive monument to the region’s history with the wines spending their final maturation period within freestone cellars built by Saint Florent monks around 1040 AD. These tunnels cover some 2.6 hectares with eight kilometres of subterranean cellars - storage capacity for some 7,000,000 bottles!

Tasting notes: Our new shipment of Bouvet Saphir has arrived. The wine delivers creamy white mousse, with fine bead of moderate persistence. Straw coloured base wine. The nose has more pronounced lift than that of previous vintages, hints of toast, lees, baked apple and biscuit emerge. Full bodied palate, with excellent flavour profile. Creamy texture, flavours of baked apple over hints of toast, biscuit and citrus. Fresh, crisp acid finish, followed by a long lemon, biscuit and baked apple aftertaste.

Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The Dalmore story began in 1839 with Alexander Matheson who lived in the Highlands of Northern Scotland. Matheson found the rich peat and pure water sources of the Highlands to be the makings of a perfect whisky. He built a distillery in the area and produced small batches until 1886, when the Mackenzie family acquired his operation. When a member of the Mackenzie family risked his own life to save Scotland’s ruler, King Alexander III, from a charging stag, the grateful king offered a token of his appreciation by bequeathing the stag to the Mackenzie family as a symbol of valor and courage. And more than 130 years later, the stag head still appears on every bottle of The Dalmore.

Today, Dalmore distillery has ten stone warehouses and eight pot-stills, several which date back to the late 1800s. Much of the distillery burned down during World War I while occupied by the U.S. Navy, but production resumed in 1922. The production process is meticulous and includes double distillations in copper pot-stills and aging in white oak and sherry wood casks.

Other reviews... Clear golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of dark roasted nuts, toasted pine, caramelized stone fruits and orange, and vanilla tapioca with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an interesting, toasted grain, honeyed granola, and minerals finish. A delicately balanced, eminently drinkable dram. 40% Alc./Vol. 93 points - www.tastings.com

Nose: Nose: Outwardly flattish, but time and patience reveals life beyond the sherry - hints of cherry and oak. Palate: Mouth-filling and chewy. Lots of cream toffee. All the time there's a delicate, malty spice buzz. Finish: Very long and still milky, silky toffee with malt and vanilla arriving. A wave or two of sweet liquorice adds further richness. Comment: Genuinely classy stuff from the 24 carat jewel in JBB's Scottish crown. Rating: 93.

Closure: Screw Cap

Reminiscent of Cointreau without the spirit backbone, Aperol is a refreshing apertif first made in 1919 by Barbieri - a small family owned company in Padua near Venice. Since then it has become Italy’s national pre-dinner drink where it claims nearly one quarter of the aperitif market. Produced using sixteen ingredients including gentian, orange essence, rhubarb and quinquennia (china bark), at only 11% abv, Aperol is light enough to enjoy again and again in many different ways. Use it as an alternative to Campari or Triple Sec. Serve it chilled on its own or long with soda, fruit juice, spirits or sparkling wine.
Other reviews... The Aperol Spritz is a perennial favorite cocktail — but I can’t say that I’ve ever actually drank much Aperol on its own. Until now! An aperitif that is often shelved alongside Campari (the same company now makes both), this liqueur’s most noteworthy ingredient (not including sugar) is bitter orange, though a host of other bitter roots are also used to give it its flavor. Lighter in color and much less bitter than Campari, the spirit is a bittersweet beauty. The up-front sweetness can be a little cloying, with a viscous body and spun sugar character that approaches cough syrup, but once that passes, its complexities take hold. Aperol offers gentle bitterness on the back end, with notes of chocolate and root beer leading to a pleasant, dessert-like finish. Not too lasting, the sweet and bitter eventually meld into a cohesive whole as the liqueur finally fades away. Aperol can be used as an alternative to Campari in almost any cocktail — particularly if you’re not looking for the bitter wallop to the senses that Campari provides. For even more fun, use it as an alternative to Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or any other triple sec and see what the slug of bitterness does to your favorite cocktail. - drinkhacker.com
...Sophisticated and delightful aromas of tangerine and rhubarb. The palate entry is delightfully citrusy and sweet; the midpalate phase offers just enough herbal bitterness to balance.

Weis Kirsch Cherry Brandy (500ml)

Elz Valley, Gutach, GERMANY
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Weis Kirsch is a cherry brandy, produced by the same family company for over two hundred years. This dead white, dryish, potent spirit has been popular in Switzerland, Alsace and the German Black Forest for centuries.
As young man who loved nature and its gifts, at the tender age of fifteen, Georg Weis brought the old family spirit recipes to light again and began to produce clear fruit brandies. Georg delivered his brandies with his motorcycle, and soon they were popular throughout the whole region. What Georg Weis had begun as a second source of income in the difficult times of WWI, soon became the main source of income for the family farm. When he came of age, Georg Weis had long known what his life's work would be: in 1924, the Elz Valley Distillery Georg Weis was officially founded. The traditional farmstead was transformed slowly but surely into a modern company.

World War II interrupted this development. In 1940, Georg Weis was drafted. The copper pots of the distillery became a victim of the needs of the Wehrmacht, as well as the delivery truck. When Georg Weis returned home in 1945, he had to start over from scratch. With business acumen and daring, he managed to once again get the distillery going as a working enterprise. The complex was continuously enlarged and the circle of customers expanded. In the early seventies, Clemens Weis, the son of the founder, took over the business, and in 1996 he handed over the reins to the third generation of the family. Hansjörg and Christian Weis today run the company with the same "spirit" and passion that drove Georg Weis 85 years ago.

The distinctive split log bottle used by the Weis company to package its spirits cuts a good figure in every house bar. It's rhomboid form is textured like wood and appears simultaneously natural and refined. The design actually refers back to an old tradition: At one time, wooden forms were used in making glass bottles, which gave the surface of each side of the bottle a special texture. Weis’s split log bottles are of course made with modern industrial techniques. But they are reminiscent of the "good old days" -- the times when many of the recipes for white brandies and liqueurs originated. 40%Alc./Vol.

Select Aperitivo (700ml)

ITALY
$38. 99
Bottle
$467.88 Dozen

ABV: 17.5%

It seems almost every region of Italy has its preferred 'aperitivo', and in Venice, it's 'Select'. Created in 1920 by two brothers at the Pilla distillery in Venice, a city renowned for liquors, it's made by carefully blending, boiling and macerating 30 botanicals, including juniper berries and rhubarb roots; the juniper adds balsamic and floral notes, while the rhubarb contributes the required bitterness.
Select went on to become the star of the Venetian cocktail scene and a key ingredient in the original Venetian Spritz. The recipe is simple: 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Select, 1 part soda, one green olive and lots of ice. The result is a well balanced, bittersweet taste that's deliciously refreshing. In short, if you like Aperol, you should love this!
Tasting note: Crimson to ruby red. Fresh, pleasantly bitter aromas include rooty-dried herbal / potpouri-like notes as well as orange zest, grapefruit and sweeter hints of cranberry juice. Silky textured with delicately bittersweet citrus pith and peel flavours. Lighter and drier through the finish. Ends brisk, medium fresh, mildy bitter. 17.5% Alc./Vol.

The typically assertive Ardbeggian smoke is somewhat tamed. Instead, nuances of fruit'n'nut chocolate, menthol cigarettes, caraway and rye bread come through. The finish is gently peaty, with hints of fruit and a pleasant salt and pepper tang. An Ardbeg for all occasions. 47.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Starts off with a mesmerically youthful lustiness full of the sunny joys of a blossoming spring. Ends in the grey of a foggy autumnal evening.
91 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2021
...The youthful age statement may take many scotch drinkers by surprise, but don’t let double-digit bias prevent you from enjoying this exciting yet easy-drinking peat bomb. Salt water and seaweed, smoke and sweet peat tussle on the nose, while vanilla, fresh berries, and ample nuttiness spread out and take hold. The structured, balanced palate is creamy, nutty, and spiced, showcasing brown-sugar bacon, smoked salt, milk chocolate, pepper, and well-integrated oak, all wrapped up like a cigar with flakes of ash and sustained smoke. This precocious youngster shows more complexity than some whiskies twice its age, making it a remarkable find. Number 6 in the 2020 Top 20 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Susannah Skiver Barton 2020
...The bottle really reminds me of G&M’s early Connoisseurs Choices, or Avonsides. Black, gold, red… Retro keeps striking in whisky. No need to add that we love it that they would have boldly displayed a young age statement, that’s extremely smart, well done Ardbeg, s***w NAS! Colour: straw. Nose: but there, yes, aha, sure. It’s a bit steely at first (grandma’s old tin boxes), then goes onto agave, reaches brine-y aromas, gets to the citrus department, steals a few pears, and finally displays the right amount of tar and peat smoke. In the background, whiffs of raw wool and wet dogs. Dogs, I know we owe you one. Mouth: this feeling of smoked pears that we were expecting, then more sweetness and fruits (passion fruits, melons), then ‘the ashtray’ and notes of Corsican citron liqueur. And why not, Corsica’s an island too! I find it rather sweeter and fruitier than expected, and frankly gentler, but that’s an easier style that I enjoy mucho. It’s just not ‘a beast’ at all if you ask me. Finish: long, clean, rather citrusy and sweet, with moderate smoke. Some eucalyptus in the aftertaste, that’s always very good. Comments: I’m not disappointed at all. Sure they could have named it ‘For the Bar in the Little House on the Prairie’ instead, for it’s rather gentle, but there, well done, it’s one of my favourite recent official ‘begs. 88 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey (700ml)

County Antrim, IRELAND
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Originally, Black bush was known as “Old Bushmills Special Old Liqueur Whiskey”, so named because of the unique distilling process and the fact that it was aged in Oloroso Sherry casks, optimising its smoothness. As the whiskey gained popularity it was asked for by avid devotees as “Black Bush”, a shortened term of the original brand name combined with reference to the distinguished black label. Malt whiskey that becomes Black Bush is aged up to 11 years in selected sherry-seasoned oak casks before being blended with a small portion of a special single grain whiskey to enhance the independent, non-conformist character of the malt.The malt used in the mash derives its clean taste from the deliberate absence of peat used in the malted barley drying process. All of the Irish whiskey distilleries kiln-dry their malt in a heat-fired, not peat-fired, oven. This drying process lets the clean, clear taste of the malt and barley shine through, creating the ultimate ' Reflection of Perfection.' The combination is then returned to the cask for 'marrying.' As the whiskeys mellow together, the uniquely rounded bouquet, rich amber hue and distinctive taste of Black Bush is born.
Other reviews... As majestic and gloriously structured as always, and vividly salivating, too. But annoyingly loses a point for the faintest furry niggle from a sherry butt on the finish. 94 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2023.
This is the whiskey that introduces the American journalist to Belfast drinking culture in Colin Bateman's Divorcing Jack. The sherry cask maturation is the key; mouthwatering autumn fruits plucked from the trees, cinnamon-apple cobbler, and cocoa-dusted raisins. A smooth, glistening dram from the North Antrim coast; weighty and fruity, the sweetness turning to raisin chocolate bars. There is a lot to bite on. It slips away reluctantly, leaving a long, dark sweetness behind it. One glass is never enough. 86 points - whiskyadvocate.com
The Sherry influence shows in the baked apple and dried apricot flavors that round into caramel and butterscotch tones on the finish. 96 points - wineenthusiast.com
'Highly Recommended...''A full, sweet nose brimful with nutty butter toffee and a hint of sherry wood. Refreshingly green mid-palate, this is a very soft and elegantly balanced whiskey that floats over the palate. A complex amalgam of malt and sherry wood bound together by a rich smooth fruitiness.' - Decanter Magazine.
... Nose: Fresh oak, softened with sherry. Palate: Full of flavours, and such a beautifully balanced, rounded. whiskey: oaky, fudgy, buttery, with that Bushmills rosewater character. Finish: A grainy, but more-ish, dryness. Comment: Long one of my great favourites. In composition, it is the simplest of blends, yet it demonstrates how malt can sometimes be enhanced by a leavening of grain.

Chivas Regal 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$144. 99
Bottle
$1739.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

In 1950, Chivas Brothers began the search for a secure supply of exceptional malt whisky. Strathisla Distillery in Keith, the oldest and most beautiful distillery in the Highlands, was the obvious choice. From that day to this, the world-famous Strathisla Single Malt Scotch whisky became the foundation of the Chivas blend. The international reputation of Chivas Regal has been built upon this distillery and the skill of successive generations of Master Blenders. Legally, a blended Scotch whisky must contain both single malt Scotch whiskies and single grain Scotch whiskies. Chivas Regal 12 and 18 year old whiskies are blended using a special process called triple blending. First of all, the selected single malts are blended together. The second stage sees the selected single grains blended together, and then thirdly, the vatted malts and the vatted grains are brought together. These spirits are each married in selected oak casks for an extended period of maturation in order to produce an exceptionally smooth, rich whisky.
'The smooth taste of Chivas Regal 18 Year Old reflects the traditional style of blended Scotch whiskies with a powerful array of rich, fruity aromas, and a defined smokiness that develops into a long and memorable finish.' So says Colin Scott, Master Blender of Chivas. Colin hand-picks each whisky designated for Chivas Regal 18 Year Old from the distilleries most precious stock - including certain whiskies that are now exceedingly rare.
Winner of three major awards, each bottle of Chivas Regal 18 Year Old bears its own unique serial number, sourcing it back to the one particular triple blending. And because only selected casks are matured to such a great age, the quantity of Chivas 18 Year Old produced every year is always strictly limited.
Tasting notes: Brassy gold appearance. Bubblegum / marshmallow opening is a little bourbonesque. Second pass reveals vanilla and biscuity malt with a judicious slather of peat. The palate combines a silky mouthfeel with solid concentration - nothing like the comparatively beige 12 Year Old - delicate spices, biscuity, honeyed grains with hints of dried fruits. The finish is crisp with a lingering confectionary note. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose: A little closed without water; hints of grass, crystallised fruits and butter toffee. Water brings a note of dry cracker which mellows into juicier aromas. Palate: Solid rich stuff that stays in the mouth, all polished wood, soft leather, chocolate, black fruits, pipe smoke and balancing crunchiness. Finish: Lush and fruity slowly crisping up. Comment: Like a gentleman's club: all leather chairs, cigar smoke and murmured conversations. A beauty. 90 points - David Broom, www.whiskymag.com
Brilliant rich amber color. Caraway and nut fudge aromas. A very soft entry leads to an oily medium-to full-bodied palate with elegant balanced melon and dried fruit, brown spice, and heathery malt flavors. Finishes with a nice long fade of toffee and spice. A complex and elegant blended Scotch for sipping. International Review of Spirits Award: Gold Medal 91 points (Recommended) - tasting.com

Plymouth Sloe Gin (700ml)

Plymouth, UNITED KINGDOM
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 26%

Since 1793, Plymouth Gin has been handcrafted at England’s oldest working Gin distillery, Black Friars in Plymouth. The distillery was formerly a Dominican Monastery and the final lodgings of the Pilgrim Fathers before they set sail to the New World in 1620. The 'Mayflower' sailing ship, aswell as the monk continue to be represented on the bottle to this day.

Plymouth Gin owes its distinctive taste to a blend of ingredients that avoid the use of too much juniper or bitter botanicals, thus giving it a remarkably smooth, integrated palate. Water from the nearby hills of Dartmoor is sourced for its crystal clear purity. The result is a lighter bodied style with fabulous intensity and well balanced botanical flavours. To create Plymouth Sloe Gin, the finest sloe berries are steeped in high strength Plymouth Gin and soft Dartmoor water. The result is a smooth liqueur taste with a balance between sweet and bitter fruit flavours, and a hint of almonds from the stone of the fruit. 26%Alc./Vol.

Tanqueray Gin (700ml)

London, UNITED KINGDOM
$62. 99
Bottle
$755.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Gin became popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, following the increase in duty on French wine and brandy imposed by William III. Until about the beginning of the present century most gin made in England was sweetened, but sweetened gin then became almost wholly displaced in popular favour by dry gin. One of the finest examples of this style is Tanqueray.
Charles Tanqueray established his distillery in Finsbury, North London where fresh water was then accessible. The year was 1830. Tanqueray was obsessed with producing a premium product, and after some research and success, he gained substantial recognition for his gin. After merging with Gordons in 1898, the U.S. market opened up and Tanqueray was enjoyed by such personalities as Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and President Kennedy. The distinctive bottle shape has aided its ongoing market success - its design based on 19th century London fire hydrants.
In the production of Tanqueray, grain spirit at 96% alc/vol is rectified in pot stills with botanical flavourings. Spirit and botanicals are then boiled, with aromas and flavours infusing in spirit vapours then condensing to form gin. Tanqueray use aged botanicals, maturing wild Tuscan juniper berries for two years before use. Coriander, angelica root, cassia bark, cinnamon, liquorice, lemon and orange peel also determine Tanqueray's quintessentially English style.ginspecials2010
Other reviews... Clear. Mild juniper/herbal nose. Dry, smooth medium-bodied palate, with full juniper character tempered by a great cut of lemon zest and a slightly oily finish. A robust gin with a great appeal as a bold gin & tonic. 40% alc./vol. [As Tanqueuray is drier than most gins, we feel it makes a great Martini.]

Glenfiddich Our Solera 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$134. 99
Bottle
$1619.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

"Light in ABV, but that only adds to its delicate charms." - whiskyadvocate.com
The heart of Glenfiddich's 15 year old is a calibrated oak solera system which the Malt Masters use to marry selected Sherry, Bourbon and new oak casks. The solera vat is periodically topped up with new whisky and has never been less than half full since 1998. The implication is that there's now some very old material in the mix. At the fore are subtle notes of sweet dried apricots and dates, intermeshed with a distant whiff of peat. The mouthfeel is soft and rounded, though the fruits are less evident, replaced by vanilla, marzipan and traces of smoke, followed by a spicy burst and a dryish vanilla-malt finish. This falls into the mainstream of Glenfiddichs - polite, predictable, good value and eminently easy-drinking. Indeed, where else can you get a quality 15 year old at this kind of price? 40% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 20ml sample.
Other reviews... Solera vat blended after aging in a combination of sherry, bourbon, and new oak casks. Very sherried on the nose at first, with candle wax, old barrel char, and baked berries. The palate is notably smooth and flavorful, the bourbon cask notes chime in with vanilla and baking spice, and the new oak gives subtle spine and grip. Light in ABV, but that only adds to its delicate charms. [2023 tasting] 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...the spices are a little too loud on the nose and struggling to find a counteracting partner on the palate. I do still love the oily drollness of the bittersweet delivery... 87 points - Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2025/26
...Scented with honey and baked apple, this single malt is big and rich, opening with fruit and just a puff of smoke, adding a distinct mouthwatering sea salt note midpalate, then stretching on into a long, butterscotch finish. 94 points - wineenthusiast.com
"I love this bottling. It’s easily the best in terms of pricing and flavour when it comes to the whole core line up. In the past they’ve had distillery only options of this bottled at 50%+ and it was always a massively underrated expression from any Speyside distillery. The fact it has al of this flavour and doesn’t need to focus on what casks those flavours come from is a perfect showcase of how good Glenfiddich and Balvenie are at marrying liquids in larger vessels. It has crept up in price over the years but even when compared to its older siblings it is totally worth it..." - thewhiskeywash.com
