Benromach Contrasts Triple Distilled Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

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

ABV: 46%

A triple distilled Benromach, matured in first-fill bourbon barrels. It’s the second time the distillery has offered a triple distilled malt. The latest iteration is now bottled at 46% as opposed to 50%. No doubt it takes its inspiration from what Hazelburn is for Springbank. The first distillation takes place in the wash still, after which it passes through the spirit still twice. The result is a smoother, lighter contrast to Benromach's typically butch, oily distillate. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... I can't help but compare this to the Benromach 10 Years, which I think is a classic, and it can't entirely keep up. The Benromach 2011 Contrasts: Triple Distilled is more narrow and, most importantly, lacks the oily deliciousness that I just love about Benromach. As a standalone whisky it's very good, and it's encouraging that there's still and old school feel to it, just try to forget about the core range Benromach 10 Years. - wordsofwhisky.com
[50% Alc./Vol. bottling tasted] Pale gold. Floral openings present a grassy edge, developing bitter cocoa and sponge cake after air contact. A few drops of water ups a fruity aspect (poached apple / pear) and accentuates the sweet spices. Tasted neat, it's slightly tongue nipping, but broadens and softens towards the fruity, tingling finish. Best with water. 90 points

Hayman's Sloe Gin (700ml)

London, UNITED KINGDOM
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 26%

Christopher and James Hayman are direct descendents of James Burrough, who founded Beefeater Gin in 1820.

James Hayman's aim has always been to represent the whole Gin family – not just the dry style of gin. He believes this is now covered with maybe one or two exceptions. The Hayman's portfolio includes London Dry Gin, Old Tom Gin, Fruit Gin, Wood Aged Gin and they're preparing to introduce a Navy gin soon (but not under the Hayman label).

The collection would not be complete without a traditional English Sloe gin made by infusing Sloe berries, a type of wild plum from the Blackthorn Tree. Hayman's is made from a long standing family recipe previously only available for private use. Sloe Berries are gently steeped for several months with Hayman's Gin before been blended with natural sugars for a deliciously bittersweet experience. 26% Alc./Vol.

Mozart Gold Chocolate Cream Liqueur (500ml)

Salzburg, AUSTRIA
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

ABV: 17%

This is the real traditional chocolate liqueur made by the Liqueur manufacturers “H.C.König” from the city of Mozart’s birth. A small glass of Mozart liqueur with coffee or layered over pistachio and strawberry ice cream has been known to turn chocoholics ga ga! 17% alc/vol
Other reviews... Opaque, creamy, chestnut color. Faint cocoa and nougat aromas. A velvety, slightly powdery, entry leads to a thick, bittersweet, full body with restrained, unsweetened cocoa and nutty nougat flavors. Finishes smoothly with a slight breath of heat. A pure, understated chocolate liqueur with a very creamy character that is more on the dry than sweet side.

Opal Nera Black Sambuca (700ml)

ITALY
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 30%

Founded in Ghemme, Piemonte (Northern Italy) in 1951 by Luigi Francoli, the Francoli Distillery has a rich history of grappa production. The Francoli Family has been running the distillery for over five generations. The mission of the Company is the production and distribution of their Grappa (through the historical brand of Luigi Francoli), as well as liqueurs, spirits, and fruit syrups. Opal Nera was created by the Francoli Distillery in 1989 and since its launch, success has spread to over thirty countries. In many markets, not only is Opal Nera the number one selling black Sambuca, but the number one Sambuca!

Made from all natural ingredients including Star Anise, Green Anise, Elderberries, lemons and with water drawn from a local source once used by Leonardo da Vinci, Opal Nera gets its liquorice black colour from the skins of the elderberry's black berries, a plant which grows wild throughout Italy. All the ingredients come from Italy with the exception of the star anise, which comes from China. The nose hints at spice and liquorice. The texture is, as one would expect, rich, plush and thick with an excellent concentration of flavours, accenting liquorice and blueberry. Recommended as an aperitif or after dinner drink with a twist of lemon, but more commonly imbibed straight from a shot glass. 30% Alc./Vol.

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin (700ml)

UNITED KINGDOM
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 41.3%

A new Tanqueray distilled with Spanish Sevilla orange essences and other botanicals. It was inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes and the ripening oranges growing on the trees in sun-drenched Seville. The result is a blend of the uniquely bittersweet taste of Seville oranges balanced with the complexity of Tanqueray London Dry. Expect a tangy, sweet flavour, with notes of tangerine, juniper and coriander. Try it with tonic and a wedge of orange.

Ardbeg Drum Committee Reserve Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 52%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

Last year’s Ardbeg Day release was Ardbeg Grooves. The Committee Release was so popular that unexpectedly high demand caused Ardbeg’s website to crash. The general retail release also sold out apace. (At the time of writing, it’s on the secondary market at around AU $200).
Here we go again... This year, we have just a few bottles of the latest and greatest Ardbeg Day bottling, "Ardebg Drum" (ex-Bourbon and Rum casks). This natural strength ‘Committee Release’ was only available from the website via a secret link that sold out in 24 hours. These bottlings have proved very collectable with previous editions showing good investment upside.
Notes from Ardbeg... Nose: In Drum, fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke dance alongside ripe banana and pineapple in a downright wondrous paradiddle of aromas, before parading into smoked apples and dry cocoa powder. Distant ginger, spiced dates and cinnamon sway into floating notes of lavender. Palate: On the palate, waves of smoke, tar and creosote cascade into a dry peppery mouthfeel. Clove, liquorice and ginger strut towards rich notes of dark chocolate and smoked vanilla. Finish: Intense smoke, roasted coffee liqueur and a treasure trove of sweet spices come together in one deliciously complex crescendo. 52% Alc./Vol.

Cazcabel Coffee Tequila Liqueur (700ml)

MEXICO
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 34%

Tasting note: Made from 100% Arabica beans (reportedly, some other brands rely on artificial flavouring). Fabulous burnt umber appearance is thick and glass staining. Issues aromas of freshly roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate and vanilla. The tequila base is more salient in the mouth, with a creamed-up texture that’s akin to coffee flavoured milk with a splash of tequila and dark chocolate for good measure. Excellent sweet-dry balance. Impressive. 34% Alc./Vol.

Morris of Rutherglen Old Premium Rare Liqueur Topaque (500ml)

Rutherglen, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$115. 00
Bottle
$1380.00 Dozen

ABV: 17.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Established in 1859, Morris Wines of Rutherglen is the continuing story of 5 generations of family winemakers. Over these 158 years, the Morris family have earned their esteemed position as one of the most prominent winemaking families in Australia. Today, David Morris continues their winemaking history combining tradition with contemporary techniques, ensuring that the Morris name remains one of the Australia’s most iconic and respected wine family dynasties.
Despite the waning interest in fortifieds over the last decade these amazing wines are unique to Australia and internationally renowned treasures that should not be lost to future generations. A warming glass of Muscat or Tokay is indispensable during the winter months.
Totally opaque sienna brown black colour with a deep walnut brown olive green hue. Such is its viscosity that it clings to the side of the glass like paint. Knockout aromatics of toffee, honey and raisins are laced with perfectly integrated spirit. Nuances of marmalade, Christmas cake and spice are also apparent in this very complex sniff. Prodigiously rich with a syrupy like texture, so thick that you could almost eat it with a spoon, the palate is completely saturated with a concentrate of raisin, honey, toffee and maple syrup flavours over traces of marmalade, well integrated spirit and spice. Exceptionally long conclusion of honey, raisins, toffee, marmalade, finely integrated spirit, maple syrup and spice. Pure decadence in a bottle. Alc 17.3%
Other reviews.... The colour is an astounding density. A myriad of dried fruit panettone, lapsang, five-spice, hoisin and roasted walnut doused in espresso and bitter chocolate, reel from a core of thoroughbred intensity. An immense wine that dichotomously, despite its sheer weight, almost evaporates from the tip of the tongue and surfaces of the cheeks, while lingering endlessly.
99 points - Ned Goodwin - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

Almost incomprehensible concentration here. This has a deeply aged, toasty and dark nutty edge on the nose. Roasted honey, dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt, too. The palate has implausibly concentrated flavors that follow the same threads shown on the nose, all swooningly sweet and rich. Yet, somehow it extrudes and balances to the point of lightness, leaving a trail of long, dark and toasted flavors of almonds. Extremely impressive and complex. Drink now. Screw cap.

Nosferatu Distillery Mandrake Cucumber & Mint Gin (700ml)

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 40.4%

Tasting note: The mandrake root or 'Mandragora Officiarum' is here blended with cucumber, mint and Albanian juniper. Coriander seed and liquorice root are added to the mix. The aroma offers moderate scents of juniper, citrus and hints of cucumber with a peppery lift. Intense and warming, there's rooty, earthy juniper-like flavours and frail cucumber notes through the spicy finish, but it's fairly fleeting. Try it with violet tonic water and a slice of cucumber. 40.4% Alc./Vol.

Hartshorn Sheep Whey Vodka (500ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$86. 99
Bottle
$1043.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Voted World's Best Vodka at the 2018 World Vodka Awards.
Produced in batches as small as fifteen bottles at a time, this super smooth vodka is created from the discarded whey left over from the cheese-making process. It undergoes two complex fermentations before the liquid is distilled. The resulting vodka has little heat and plenty of character, and is designed to be enjoyed straight at room temperature in a large aromatic glass. Says Angus Burton, the vodka’s distributor, “On its own, expect to find tropical fruit and vanilla-butterscotch aromas and flavours, but the highlight is the pure, cream-like texture of the spirit. This is not liquor that needs to be enjoyed simply, nor drowned in juice. We suggest over ice or in an elegant dry Martini with a lime zest. This vodka doesn’t need to be messed with.”
Each bottle is hand sprayed black before the label is hand written and signed by head distiller, Ryan Hartshorn. 40% Alc./Vol.

Bass & Flinders Distillery Angry Ant Gin (700ml)

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

[LOT 1 tasted] Perfect clarity showing considerable viscosity. Dryish bouquet captivates with intriguing fruity aromas reminiscent of Maraschino cherries, fresh prunes, rhubarb tart or semi-ripe nashi pear. Second pass ups the vibrancy and introduces citrus peel, pine needle, sap and balsa-wood like notes. Feather light on entry, developing with a medium bodied, restrained piney / sappy profile and a powerful lemon cough lozenge surge that surprises for this ABV. Ends poised and lively with suggestions of liquorice root, lemon grass, eucalyptus oil and late Vapo-rub in the aftertaste. Exceptionally long. A highly creative, idiosyncratic expression that pushes the boundaries of what gin can be. 40% Alc./ Vol.
Other reviews... While there have been several gins to utilise ants as botanicals, few within the already niche category are as unique as requiring and researching the pheromones of said ants. Accompanied by a set of botanicals grown and conserved on the remote Wooleen Station in Western Australia, this gin seeks to encapsulate the flavours of this extraordinary, arid area. The gin presents an abundant creamy, butter-like texture through the palate, which plays into some dry wood with almost dessicated hazelnut notes. The botanicals themselves draw in more floral, citrus profiles, individually subtle, but together creating an undertow of complexity. There are hues of fruity, dried berries throughout, a little elusive, but adding to the mystique of the spirit. Punchy lemon oil and eucalyptus race through the gin, creating a cord between the different botanicals, unifying them. 91 points - Jess Clayfield, winecompanion.com

Fireball Cinnamon Flavoured Canadian Whisky Liqueur (700ml)

CANADA
$57. 99
Bottle
$695.88 Dozen

ABV: 33%

"If you haven't tried Fireball Cinnamon Whisky yet, just imagine what it would be like to get a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the face if his legs were on fire and tasted like cinnamon. Like it, love it, shoot it-- your dad's whisky never tasted so smooth. What happens next is up to you... So goes the rather colourful introduction to this new arrival.
Rumor has it that the original Fireball Whisky recipe was forged sometime in the mid-1980s during the coldest winter Canada had ever seen, when a mixologist turned mad scientist accidentally created a permanent solution to frostbite. The concoction slowly and quietly made its way around North America for a few years, a sort of secret handshake between veteran bartenders. "Word got out", say the producers, "and now we are just trying to make it fast enough to keep the fire burnin’."

Tasting note: Smells of candied cinnamon stick or cinnamon doughnuts. Time in the glass brings out hints of ginger and clove. Silky, sweet and viscous; opens with cinnamon strudel and finishes with a warming cinnamon and pepper kick. Heat lingers. The label doesn't lie- Hot stuff! 33% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Pale amber color. Bold cinnamon red hot and pine cone aroma with a lightly syrupy sweet medium body and a pure honey and hot cinnamon and root beer candy finish. Cinnamon delivered as promised, but where's the whisky.

Galliano Vanilla Liqueur (500ml)

ITALY
$53. 99
Bottle
$647.88 Dozen

ABV: 30%

Unmistakable in its unique long tapered bottle, Galliano liqueur is named after Major Giuseppe Galliano, a member of the Italian Expeditionary Corps in the Italian-Abyssinian conflict of 1895-6, as a tribute to his heroic stand at the fort of Enda Jesus where he held out for forty four days before being ordered to surrender.

Galliano was traditionally made at Salara, fifteen miles north of Milan, however, recently other countries have begun producing it under license. Forty herbs, roots, flowers and other botanicals, including key ingredients like vanilla and anise comprise the recipe. Seven infusions, seven distillations, two blending stages and a six month marrying period are involved in the production. Galliano is standard stock for any serious bar around the world.

Other reviews... Vibrant, electric yellow with a faint, greenish hue. Rich anisette cookie, candied citrus peel, vanilla bean, and herb aromas. A round, silky entry leads to a lightly sweet medium-bodied palate with delicate star anise, vanilla cake frosting, and peppery herbs. Finishes with a long palate cleansing fade. Beautifully balanced with great texture and flavor. 30% alc/vol.

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$47. 99

ABV: 17.5%

A logical extension to the outstanding Maidenii range comes in this Quinquina aperitif. Produced from Heathcote Viognier grapes as well as fragrant botanicals and citrus, rounded off with the bitter edge of cinchona bark. Pouring a pale straw colour, it offers lovely lifted notes of grapefruit, thyme, cool mint and delicate quinine. A fresh and breezy entry is followed by racy flavours of semi-ripe apricot, pink grapefruit and a delicately bitter, vibrant dried herb / quinine / mint finish that's remarkably long for the genre. Very appetising, this should mix brilliantly. 17.5% Alc./Vol.

Tasting note: Polished brass. Engaging, authentic aromas of fresh sliced capsicum / chile / Asian stir fry and hints of green olive. Sweet, creamy entry. Middle stage highlights grilled vegetables (capsicum / zucchini) and accents appealing pepper heat. Concludes drier with lively chillie spice, tobasco sauce and white pepper. Great persistence.

Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch No.1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$1499. 00
Bottle
$17988.00 Dozen

ABV: 47.1%

Note: Product comes from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

The Balvenie Tun 1509 follows in the footsteps of the legendary Tun 1401 series, which collectively set the whisky world alight by intriguing both anorak and collector. This was no mere blending exercise of varying cask types as many expressions have, and continue to achieve today. Its significance lied within its make-up, with the now retired David Stewart, selecting dominant cask types - many quite possibly outstanding in their own right - of both ex-sherry & ex-bourbon from decades past (60's, 70's, 80's etc) , to marry . To highlight the substance behind one of these creations; Batch 1 of Tun 1401 was a six cask vatting of - a 1973 Sherry Butt, a 1972 Sherry Hogshead and American casks from 1966, 1974, 1978 and 1988.
After almost manic demand worldwide the '1401' series ceased after 9 batches which were spread across world markets. In 2014, Tun 1509 was then commissioned, quadrupling 1401's 2,000L capacity, to combat global demand and to finally produce a worldwide release. Balvenie's Global Brand Ambassador; Sam Simmons had maintained the new tun will be capable of producing a similar recipe to that used for Tun 1401, just on a larger scale.
This first instalment of Balvenie Tun 1509 comprised of 42 casks, including 35 American oak barrels and seven European oak Sherry butts. As with 'Tun 1401', all the casks have been allowed to marry together for a period of several months. This release has otherwise sold out globally. Only 1 bottle available.
Other reviews... This newbie from Balvenie is the worldwide replacement for the market-specific Tun 1401. A larger volume vat (8,000 liters) is now being filled with an equally eclectic mix of casks (42 casks ranging from 1970 to 1992). Deep amber; this has substance but being Balvenie, it’s gentle: orange blossom/Manuka honey edged with spice, marmalade, scented woods, and a little frangipane. The palate shows a supple, rippling power with some apricot, cinnamon, and root ginger. Awfully good.

George Dickel No.12 Tennessee Whiskey (750ml)

Tennessee, UNITED STATES
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 45%

Toasted marshmallow and spicy oak aromas develop with lifted pepper notes. There's more honey and cocoa than the number 8, both on the nose and the palate, which is also plusher, fuller and rounder with flavours of candied peach, cocoa and nicely balanced sweet oak turning lightly smokey at the finish. Full flavoured, easy drinking Tennessee that's priced right. 45% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews...The most brooding of the three. Not as polished as the Barrel Select, but certainly very entertaining. Shows more depth that the No. 8, with more dry oak intensity and more heft. Notes of dried spices, dark chocolate, cocoa, and charcoal balance the citrus, currant, caramel, and vanilla. A very good sipping whisky. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...A different story told by George from the last one I heard. But certainly no less fascinating. 90.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2014
Aged 8 to 9 years on average. Dickel blends in older stock to the No. 12 version of its whiskey, and ups the alcohol to 90 proof. Good call on both fronts: No. 12 is a touch smoky like the No. 8, but the body comes across as deeper in the way it pulls the spiciness out of the grain used in the mashbill. Still a modest amount of sweetness in the finish, but whiskey fans looking for a more frontier-like experience will probably veer toward No. 12. - drinkhacker.com

Rich and full flavoured yet wonderfully finessed, the palate is engulfed with strawberry, cherry, yeast lees and brioche characters which are complimented by some delicate toast and chalky elements.

Wine Spectator
First released in 2008, the NV Champagne Brut Rosé is the release based around the 2021 vintage. A medium salmon hue (only 5% red wine is added to the blend), the nose is beautiful and has a lovely touch of opulence in its notes of preserved Amarena cherries, ripe red fruit, toasted brioche, and fresh roses. The palate offers a luxurious feel, with power and elegance that suggest decadence, but it’s not sweet. It has a refined mousse, with a chalky and pithy, orange-tinged structure, wonderful length, and a good core that will easily age another 10 or more years.

The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is showing especially well, offering up complex aromas of sweet stone fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous palate. Layered and concentrated, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and ripe but racy acids, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.

Bakery Hill Double Wood Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$179. 99
Bottle
$2159.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Bakery Hill is a new Australian venture into the generally exclusive world of Whisky production. We say exclusive, because few distillers outside of Scotland have yet managed to create a whisky that approximates to the quality or style of the Scottish original, or when they have, the whisky has usually relied upon the importation of key ingredients from the ‘homeland’. Bakery Hill’s Single Malts, despite their youth, are very promising initial efforts, and as the spirits spend longer in barrel, one can anticipate some very interesting results.
As with classic malts, Bakery Hill uses only malted barley [from Tasmania], yeast and water to achieve its flavour and aroma. No caramel is added in order to enhance the appearance. Barrelling at Bakery Hill is done using select second fill American Oak Bourbon barrels. French Oak casks are also used for the production of the classic double wood style.

"The malt development on the palate is quite beautiful. A soft distant smokiness adds excellent weight to the lilting malt-oak richness."

Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal Liqueur (100ml)

Voiron, FRANCE
$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

ABV: 69%

‘Elixir Vegetal’ is the antecedent to the more subdued “1605” which was based on the Elixir. (The original tonic was primarily used as a remedy for stomach ailments, however considered too potent for regular consumption due to its high abv of 69%, thus the lower proof 1605 version was created.) This is the genuine article. It represents the soul of the Chartreuse brand and is arguably one of the most complex liqueurs in existence today. Its appeal not only resides in its surreal taste but also its tonic properties. Traditionally, mountaineers have praised the stimulating effects of a few droplets over a sugar cube. It is also a living testament to the craftsmanship of the Chartreuse monks who display a level of precision rarely attained when working with natural ingredients. This is why the Elixir Vegetal comes in its own wooden box, as protection against light which can affect its taste and colour if stored improperly. Very, very limited stocks.
Tasting note: Striking deep emerald green; penetrating bitter sweet herbal notes feature thyme infused honey, liquorice and tumeric in the first pass. Second inspection finds hints of peppermint and chamomile tea, juniper and sweet decaying grass-like scents. Entry is creamy and deceptive; mid palate is prickly and slightly hot with intense bittersweet herbal tea, quinine and anise-like flavours apparent through the nippy spirit. Finishes pleasantly bitter with sweet spices and anise following in a lengthy herbal / spearmint fade. Invigorating. 69% Alc./Vol.

Bittermens Orchard Street Celery Shrub (146ml)

New Orleans, Louisiana, UNITED STATES
$32. 99
Bottle
$395.88 Dozen

ABV: 44%

The flavours of old New York, inspired by the pickle vendors of Orchard Street. Use a few drops to add a briny flavour to foods and drinks.
During colonial times, shrubs were extremely common – vinegar-based refreshers, many times combined with alcohol or allowed to ferment so they had a bit of a kick. One of the classic flavours during the tenement era was Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Soda, a celery soda so popular during the ’30s, it was nicknamed the Jewish Champagne. Though the only flavour that was declared was celery seed, it's likely there was a bit of ginger and apple added in too.
In this latest effort, Bitterman's have taken all of these ideas and run with them. Brine, celery, apples and vinegar - all dedicated to Orchard Street, home of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. In conclusion they comment, "Funny that something that we made to honor the Eastern European immigrant experience works so damned well with Scandinavian Aquavit!"

Chivas Brothers Royal Salute Stone of Destiny 38 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Bottle
$23988.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

This Royal Salute 38 Year Old takes its name from the legendary Stone of Destiny, one of the most powerful symbols of Scotland's past. For centuries, the Stone has played a powerful role during the enthroning ceremonies of the ancient Kings & Queens of Scotland, as the seat which gave the seal of authority to the new Royal. This age-old tradition carries on today and was last used at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2nd June 1953 - on the day Royal Salute Scotch Whisky was launched, as a tribute from Chivas Brothers to the New Queen. Today, the Stone of Destiny rests under guard in Edinburgh Castle, together with the Sword of State & the other Honours of Scotland until the next Coronation.
Few other whiskies will be able to match this 38 year old for sheer age and extravagant packaging. It comes in a beautifully handcrafted, granite-like, porcelain flagon that bears a gold-plated stopper reminiscent of the hilt of ancient Scottish swords. Each bottle is beautifully encased in an elegant rich red box with a glossy black finish. 40% Alc./Vol.

Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 7.1 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND

Bottle
$7188.00 Dozen

ABV: 59.5%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Each new Octomore generates a degree of anticipation and excitement from malt devotees and collectors who have an appreciation for whisky at the extremes. The seventh edition of this cult whisky continues its precedent as one of world's most heavily peated drams. It is also something of a landmark release as it represents the last Octomore created under the influence of Master Distiller, Jim McKewan. Having carried on the role since 2001, McKewan announced his retirement from the company in June. This Octomore release was actually held back in order to coincide with his departure. He will continue acting as a consultant for the Islay distillery.
Once again the Bruichladdich maltsters faced a challenge with the barley harvest destined for Octomore - to try and coax as many phenols into the grain as they can. This is a delicate, inexact art rather than science, the results varying according to a complex suite of factors. It's part of what makes each edition unique, limited, finite.
7.1 employs barley exclusively sourced from the Scottish mainland, peated to 208ppm. After five years in American oak it was bottled all natural, at a cask strength of 59.5% Alc./Vol.
Jim McKewan describes the nose as: “Like sea spray and caramel, lemon balm and pipe tobacco. Slowly, the peat rises from the glass, gentle but strong, lifting vanilla, mint, toffee, golden syrup and almond.” On the palate, he finds: “Smoothness, sweetness and then smoke. A texture like no other, satin soft and devilishly warming. The American oak influence is in perfect tune with the smoke and soft fruits that have been delicately coaxed from the still during an exceptionally slow distillation.” He adds, "This dram will transport you to Islay, to watch the sun setting over the sea while breathing in the peat smoke hanging in the air."

ABV: 46%

"Yet another astonishing malt from India."
94.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021

Paul John ‘Brilliance’ is the first in the range. An un-peated malt matured in ex-bourbon casks. The second is ‘Edited’ with about 20% of the malt being peated Scottish, and again, matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. Both are non chill-filtered.

Tasting note: Polished copper. Offers up fruity malt, hints of ginger bread, light cinnamon and vanilla. Similar in many ways to "Edited" but with the oak adding firmness and drying the mid-palate. Fresh and lightly spiced delivery; some nice fruit'n'nut chocolate characteristics feature amid the juicy malt. Excellent balance. 46% Alc./Vol

Other reviews... Paul John is taking its entry into the world of single malt very seriously, and very slowly but surely. After two single cask offerings to find its range, Brilliance and Edited are its first general releases. Brilliance is unpeated and is a delight: rich, full, young but not immature, and with lime and citrus Starburst chews, sweet candy, and some icing sugar, it trips across the palate. Conclusive proof that Amrut isn’t the only Indian game in town. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com (Fall 2013) Reviewed by: Dominic Roskrow

La Gritona Reposado Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$114. 99
Bottle
$1379.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Premium Tequila scoop buy. Get ready for Spring / Summer Margaritas.
‘La Gritona’ is Spanish for ‘The Screamer’ - an appropriate name seeing that one of the people behind this outstanding tequila is LA-based punk guitarist Andy Coronado. The other significant player is the renowned tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico’s few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas—who has 20 years of quality tequila production under her belt—shares Coronado’s love of the exceptional and unconventional, and leads a team staffed by only local women.
In a market dominated by major companies like Herradura, Patrón and Fortaleza, the duo set out to create a rocking, pared-down Reposado that would stand out by staying true to the region’s heritage. For a Reposado, La Gritona is light on colour and sweetness—Coronado and Cárdenas want none of the flavours that mask many commercial Reposados like vanilla, chocolate and dulce de leche. Instead this is packed with delicious, honest and savoury, roasted agave flavor, reminiscent of the old-style ‘rested’ tequila, before the mass market took hold: “It’s tequila like our grandparents drank,” says Cárdenas.
Working with 9- to 10-year-old, mature Blue Weber agave grown in the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands, every step of production after harvest takes place under Cárdenas’ own roof and with an attention to detail that the big boys, or those outsourcing distillation, cannot hope to replicate. The agave is steam-cooked in a single, thick-walled earthen oven for 24 hours and then allowed to rest for another 24 hours before crushing. The collected liquid is naturally fermented (no additives are used to push things along) in open steel vats at a rate dictated by the ambient air temperature and the wild yeasts, usually lasting between six to nine days. The double distillation takes place in small steel stills. Those bespoke bottles by the way are made from recycled Mexican glass, hand-blown just an hour’s drive from the distillery. Coronado uses any recycled clear glass he can find (mostly old Coke bottles) then chips in a few Dos Equis bottles for the green tint!
The distilled blanco is then rested in reused American whiskey barrels for eight months before bottling. These low-impact second- or third-fill barrels are given only the lightest char which allows for the refreshing, sappy notes of the agave to shine through, resulting in a tequila that sips and mixes perfectly in equal measure - it’s crisp, clean and elegant and kills it in a Tommy’s Margarita. Tasted uncut, the bouquet offers stunningly pure and keenly fresh scents of brine, dill pickles, capsicum, black pepper and pine sap; Five minutes stirs up sweeter scents of grilled pineapple, vanilla and coconut butter. The silky, medium bodied delivery is gently sweet and wonderfully elegant; Capsicum, green pine and white pepper feature while sappy agave flavours finish the profile with admirable balance. Seamless from start to finish, this stands out from Reposado pack. Highest recommendation. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Look for a pale straw hue and fruity/funky aromas. The palate offers distinct tropical fruit notes, opening with lychee and a faint floral hint, plus a faint waft of ripe-banana funk midpalate. The finish is long and drying, showing grapefruit peel and pink peppercorn. Sip or mix into Palomas. 95 points — wineenthusiast.com

$124. 99

$1499.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"A statement whisky that is a must-try". - Dave Broom
First released in 2014, Craigellachie's 13 year old is a perfect introduction to the distillery's heavy distillate, partly the result of short fermentations but also due to enormous stills with straight lyne arms adding reflux. Even from a 30ml sample, it's a whisky with terrific depth. Fruity, almost floral aromas hint at lucerne mulch and new leather, slowly giving way to ripe orchard fruits - especially green apples. The palate sports delicious, buttery-malt and spicy pear flavours with more pepper, late fruitiness and lingering spices. Some tasters also note a slightly sulphury / smokey edge (think spent matches). This style won't be for everyone, but it is undeniably one of the more distinctive malts in its price bracket. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Light amber. The initial impression is one of bulk. There are heavy florals — think lilies and stewed white fruit, and just-overripe banana — but this is given a mysterious extra heft by an underpinning of a light meatiness, accompanied by a tiny lift of (good) sulfur. The palate is, unsurprisingly, thick and creamy with huge fruit that fills the mouth. A highly physical, old-style Speyside dram with classic distillery character. A statement whisky that is a must-try. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com, (Winter 2014) Reviewed by: Dave Broom
...You couldn’t make a label look more ‘retro’, could you! Unless you start using hieroglyphs or cuneiform alphabet. Colour: straw. Nose: it is a milder, rounder and sweeter version of the 2003, but the background is similar. Wee touches of mezcal again, a little earth, a little sulphur (spirit sulphur) that borders almondiness (what?), plenty of apples and then a few raisins and a touch of vanilla. It’s got a style, and that’s just great, even if it does nose a little young, almost as much so as the DL. Mouth: a few burnt notes in the attack, notes of distillation, cooked sugar and herbs… But it gets then cleaner, maltier and slightly smoky, with a bitterish edge. May lack a part of the DL’s vibrancy (as the pros say.) Finish: rather long, between candy sugar and this bitter side. Grapefruit skin. Comments: mixed feelings here. On the one hand, I find the honesty and the nakedness fantastic, it’s not botoxed whisky at all. On the other hand, I find it a little raw and bitter.

Bouvet Saphir Saumur Brut Vintage Magnum (1500ml)

$54. 99
Bottle
$659.88 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”.
Bouvet is regarded by many wine lovers as the finest expression of sparkling wine from the Loire Valley

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. These tunnels cover some 2.6 hectares with eight kilometres of subterranean cellars - storage capacity for some 7,000,000 bottles!

The distillery is nestled on the fertile foothills of Mt. Uncle from where it claims its name from. The mountain was named after the Uncle of the founding pioneer John Atherton, very original! Yes there is also a Mt. Aunty beside him as well so the big guy doesn’t get lonely. Set in landscaped gardens on a Banana, Avocado and Macadamia plantation Mt. Uncle Distillery is as a pleasant visit upon your eyes as it is your taste buds.
Apart from the juniper, this gin employs a full repertoire of native Australian botanicals (14 in total). The Lemon Scented gum (citriodora) makes a particularly strong contribution. Smelling this evoked memories of planting an avenue of saplings. The species has soft furry leaves prior to maturity. Rubbing the leaves between your fingers releases the oils along with a delightfully fresh lemon/eucalyptus aroma. Other notable ingredients include native Wattle Seed, Lilly Pilly, Lemon Myrtle, native ginger and Finger Limes.
Tasting note: Crystal clear. Wow! Captivates from the get go with its individualistic bouquet - an alluring combination of lime juice, crushed citriodora leaf and subtle liquoricey notes - juniper takes back seat. A light entry builds to a concentrated, beautifully balanced and wonderfully fresh citriodora leaf and lime peel mid palate with hints of juniper and anise, finishing pleasantly peppery with excellent persistence. A highly idiosyncratic and genuinely Australian rendition that succeeds on all levels but is best left alone. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... You know I am passionate about Aussie gins (I’ve even created a lovely event for you to try some) so when I came across Botanic Australis gin at Top Shelf Boutique Drinks Festival today (expect a round-up later) I couldn’t wait to write about it! It was definitely my ‘Gin of the day’. Where to start? It’s craft-distilled in North Queensland at the Mt. Uncle Distillery (there is a Mt. Aunty too!), contains no fewer than 14 native botanicals, (including three types of myrtle, finger limes and lilly pilly), and is both distinctive and delicious. The gentleman serving me described it as “very herbaceous”. And so it is. A hint of juniper, a mouthful of warmth and then the botanicals play a fandango (look it up) in your mouth. Herb, grass, mint and citrus flavours, all at once. I also detected ginger and pepper after notes too. It was love at first taste and I swiftly purchased a bottle. I am now saving for my airfare to Queensland where I will kiss the still that produced it. - theginqueen.com/

$1139.88 Dozen

Formally branded ARTEMIS, Anther's single-estate/seasonal limited edition is a take on the traditional Sloe style. Cherries are sourced from Simon Spreyton of Spreyton's orchards, a small family owned farm in Northern Tasmania. Their fruit is highly sought after in Asian markets where it commands a premium. Cherry season is between mid-December and mid-January, hence this release is annual. Production remains true to this distillery's garagiste approach - 200kg of cherries are stoned by hand (that's about 12,000 cherries!) then placed in holding tanks to macerate in gin. The vivid red liquid is then strained, diluted and a little sugar is added before bottling.
Tasting note: [27% ABV/Vol. tasted] Slightly cloudy ruby red. Retains a piney, cool mint, lemony freshness through the cherry glace, blackcurrant and dried cranberry notes making for an enticing combination. Creamy cherry nectar and cranberry juice flavours over hints of black pepper and pine with late citrus and herbal tea notes lifting the finish. Nicely done; would love to see it at higher.

ABV: 42%

A cider apple eau-de-vie from Normandy in which juniper berries, ginger, vanilla, lemon, cardamom, cinnamon, rose petals and almonds have been macerated.
Tasting note: Crystal clear with a silvery blush. Shows considerable viscosity. Appealing and atypical gin aromas of green apple peel and chamomile tea over subtle juniper, vanilla and cardamom. Several minutes of air contact sees the apply / cidery note emphasised along with fresher pine and woody juniper scents. Mildly viscous on entry followed by creamy-yet-dry flavours of pine needle, chamomile, mint chocolate and peppermint tea in the aftertaste. A delicious and novel expression that should pop in G&Ts. 42% Alc./Vol.
