2017 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30

Other Reviews....
Bright purple. Highly perfumed blue fruit, violet and candied licorice aromas show excellent clarity and pick up hints of woodsmoke and menthol as the wine opens up. Juicy and appealingly sweet, offering sappy boysenberry, cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of smoky bacon. A sexy floral note emerges on the gently tannic finish, which hangs on with strong, spice-tinged persistence.

Josh Raynolds - Vinous

The 2017 Cornas Granit 30 features flattering aromas of cracked pepper, ground clove, fresh raspberries and crushed stone. But while the wine is full-bodied, it comes across as slightly austere and lacking mid-palate texture, before finishing long, with hints of Berry Zinger tea.

Hippocampus Vodka (700ml)

Perth, AUSTRALIA
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

This is Perth-based venture is the brain child of Little Creatures founders and former owners, Nic Trimboli, Howard Cearns and David Martin.
The boys comment, "Using biodynamic farmed wheat from Australia's Wheatbelt, fermenting in small tanks using an organic yeast and then distilling in our custom made copper pot still, we have crafted a clean and textured vodka which references our ground of clean skies, healthy farms and the team behind producing it...Flavours of vanilla and fruit shine through with a super smooth mouthfeel from distilling a select number of times... enough to ensure we embrace the soft sweet flavour of the wheat but not too much to strip away this wonderful texture."
Not surprisingly, a gin, absinthe, rum and whisky made from WA-sourced ingredients are also planned. 40% Alc./Vol.

Hennessy Paradis Rare Cognac (700ml)

Cognac, FRANCE
$1750. 00
Bottle
$21000.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

In 1774, Richard Hennessy set up a small warehouse on the right bank of the River Charente to house his rarest eaux de vie, now known as the 'founder’s warehouse.' Since then, eight generations of the Hennessy family have built up what is now the finest collection of old eaux de vie in the world. It is from these that Hennessy has been able to create Paradis Extra. Paradis Extra is the fruit of successive marriages between hundreds of different eaux de vie, nurtured to maturity by successive generations of the same family of cellar masters.
This Cognac is a veritable fireworks display of spices and peppery notes, softened by the fragrant scent of flowers. Finesse and elegance are the major characteristics. Perfectly harmonious in the mouth, Paradis Extra reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long lasting on the palate. Its force and finesse, plus the delicate flavour of rancio, give it a perfect balance. Exceptional cognacs such as Paradis Extra should be enjoyed using tall, thin glasses that narrow slightly towards the top. Such glasses retain the aroma and transmit easily the warmth of the hands to the spirit.

Other reviews.…
The sweet seducer! Colour: Dark walnut with a distinct, deep reddish tinge. Nose: Wood and marshmallows vie for attention with gingerbread and Oolong tea aromas. Palate: Initially sweet, verbena-like aromas become heavy with chocolate, custard apple, slowly turning to mandarin peel, leathery, almost masterstock-like flavours finishing with sweet Pedro Ximenez notes; the finish is long, honeyed and dry, a majestic end to a great Cognac. Comment: The sweetness and balances totally seduces; this would have to be your ‘last wish’ Cognac. 40% Alc./Vol. - tasting note by Franz Scheurer, AGT Wine Magazine, Cognac Tasting 27th May 2005.

A sublime marriage of over 100 eaux-de-vie, some more than a century old. Amber/gold appearance. Textbook tete de cuvee Cognac bouquet of pine needles, clover honey, rancio, sweet oak and spiced apple. Offers elegant flavors of fatty rancio, soft cheese, wood smoke and bacon fat from entry through midpalate. Finishes more woody and resiny than fruity-ripe. Still a favorite after all these years. Gorgeous.

Angostura Orange Bitters (100ml)

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
$20. 99
Bottle
$251.88 Dozen

ABV: 28%

Closure: Cork

In the last few years we've witnessed a renaissance period for cocktails and a subsequent demand for traditional ingredients. Many cocktail classics call for Orange Bitters, which for a long time was notoriously difficult to find. With the resurgence of interest has come enough demand to inspire Gary Regan to produce his now famous Regan's No. 6 Orange Bitters. Following Regan's success, others have followed, each putting their own spin on Orange Bitters. Regan's is intense, assertive, extremely bitter and very heavily spiced, Fee Brothers' much lower alcohol version focuses more on capturing the essence of sweet, ripe orange. Angostura's interpretation lies somewhere in between the two. Clean citrus characters are enhanced by a clean spirit, and a balanced dose of spices.
Apart from being an essential addition to classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, Sazerac or San Francisco, we suggest you try a dash in your next martini, with lime and soda, in orange cake or add to Crepe Suzette. One staff member insists a couple of drops is the secret to his self assessed 'stunning' Beef Teriyaki recipe. The jury is still out. 28.0% Alc./Vol.

Hennessy Richard Hennessy Cognac (700ml)

Cognac, FRANCE
$13999. 00
Bottle
$167988.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

In 1765, Richard Hennessy laid the foundations of a priceless collection made up of his most exceptional eaux de vie. Since then, eight generations of the Hennessy family have enriched the Founder's warehouse with their own contributions of the finest cognacs produced during their lifetimes. It is from this collection that Hennessy has created Richard Hennessy, as a homage to its founder.
Richard Hennessy is made up of more than 100 of the most exceptional eaux de vie, some of which date from the early 19th century. Each one has been selected for its unique qualities. Balanced and complex, the rich bouquet slowly releases a succession of aromas that have built up over the years: vanilla, spices, pepper and delicately fragrant flowers.In the mouth, the infinitely refined texture reveals an extraordinary palette of flavours that blends spices, the subtle essence of ripe fruit and the finesse of oak.
A tulip-shaped taster’s glass, or a small snifter will warm the spirit and guarantee the gradual but full release of the aromas. According to Talleyrand, celebrated 18th-century French politician and illustrious customer of Hennessy, to enjoy a cognac such as Richard Hennessy one must 'cradle the glass in the palm of one’s hand, swirl the spirit to release its full aroma, lift it to one’s nostrils, inhale deeply and then... set it down and discuss its virtues'.
'Hennessy's pinnacle achievement'.
Other reviews... A blend of over 100 Cognacs, some of which date back to the early 1800s. The aroma requires time; when it does emerge, it blossoms into a multilayered bouquet laced with tea leaves, red pepper, dried fruit and old oak. Starts sweet and caramel-like at entry; sensational midpalate features rancio, raisins, vanilla extract, dried flowers and honey. Finish is semisweet. Hennessy's pinnacle achievement.
Rating: 95-100 CLASSIC. Highest Recommendation. - wineenthusiast.com
... A rich man’s Cognac that delivers the goods. Colour: Rich and vibrant mahogany. Nose: A rich melange of vanilla, herby floral and spice notes overshadowed by red roses. Palate: Complex, rich and balanced, no one flavour stands out; it takes on a character of its own, alluring and with flavours that just go on and on; Some detect cherries whilst I revel in the baklava-like oriental, languidly sweet finish.

St. Agnes 5 Year Old VSOP Brandy (700ml)

Renmark, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$51. 99
Bottle
$623.88 Dozen

ABV: 37%

The St. Agnes range of brandies was founded in 1925. Its ever-increasing success in the market-place can, to some degree, be attributed to the no compromise in quality approach adopted since those early days. The company philosophy on brandy production revolves around the pot still process followed by many years maturation in small oak casks. The brandies in the St. Agnes range are all pot still brandies.
St. Agnes VSOP is a richly coloured, full-bodied five year old brandy. The palate shows good spirit with great depth and complexity derived from the extended period of small wood maturation. This ageing has imparted soft, slightly sweet oak after-flavours that complement the full flavoured palate making it discernibly fuller-bodied than its Three Star younger sister. While still made in a clean, dry style, the greater depth and weight on the palate ensures that this fine brandy is as eminently suitable to be enjoyed neat or with a little ice or water, as it is to be consumed with a mixer.

Old Fitzgerald 11 Year Old Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Spring 2018

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$1199. 00
Bottle
$14388.00 Dozen

ABV: 50%

Old Fitzgerald's bi-annual releases are differentiated by the colour of the labels and arrive with varying age statements. Each handsome antique replica decanter comes with an old style 'tax strip' that discloses when the bourbon was produced and bottled. Aged for well over four years these whiskies far exceed the standards of the 'Bottled in Bond Act of 1897' and are some of the oldest Bottled in Bond examples on the market.
Other reviews... Fruit bliss. Filled with apple, pear, dried apricot, and peaches, it then offers floral and rich caramel notes. Chocolate fried pie, pumpkin pie, and vanilla custard follow over a creamy mouthfeel. Then nuts set in, including roasted almonds, salted walnuts, and pecans. Honey and malt appear toward the end for a long and wonderful finish with a light hint of cinnamon. Editor’s Choice. 93 points

$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 43.5%

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

One expression of the previous releases of this stand-out South Australian project comes from a fourteen year old single cask, topped up with small quantities of malt from the 1997 and 1998 vintages. It marks another distinctive addition to the Smith's line up.
Having developed something of a following over the years, these whiskies now sell out apace on release, so don't dally!
Tasting note: Deep copper colour, showing some minor sediment in the glass. Opens with a superb, lifted, fine brandy-like bouquet including fruit cake, dried fig and vanilla. Several minutes in the glass further emphasises the fruit cake / raisin qualities adding hints of cinnamon. Fruity-yet-dry delivery with raisin cake and dried fig flavours plus a lively dance of spices, while the finish adds a flash of vanillan oak sweetness. Excellent concentration. Concludes long, spicy and mildly tannic with the dried fruits echoing in the fade. Lovely malt.

Established in 1935 and still a private family owned and operated company, Willett Distillery (aka Kentucky Bourbon Distillers or ‘KBD’) are rather like an American version of a Scottish-style independent bottler. They purchase barrels of young whiskey and age them in their hill-top warehouses south of Bardstown. Older expressions have become blue chip investments with a 24 year old Willett selling for upwards of 10K. That kind of upside makes this 13 year old seem like a steal.
With an outturn of just 140 bottles (we have less than a handful to sell), this is oozing collector appeal. Single barrel. Natural strength. Super limited. 60.1% Alc./Vol.

Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$68. 99
Bottle
$827.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The name 'Schivas' is derived from the old Gaelic 'seimh as', meaning 'the narrow place.' It perfectly describes the spot where a medieval castle once stood, at a narrow stretch of the River Ythan, in Aberdeenshire in the North East of Scotland. In 1950, Chivas Brothers began the search for a secure supply of fine malt whisky. Strathisla Distillery in Keith, the oldest and most beautiful distillery in the Highlands, was the obvious choice. The distillery was purchased and now the highly praised Strathisla Single Malt Scotch Whisky lies at the heart of the Chivas Regal blend. Aged for a minimum of 12 years, Chivas is distinguished by its light, lingering aroma, full, smooth, balanced palate with a hint of smoke - very subtle and complex. 'A good whisky blender knows intimately the character of all the whiskies he uses,' says Chivas's Master Blender Colin Scott. 'They are as unique as people. Some are subtle, some are bolder. My job is to produce a distinctive blend of whisky of the highest possible quality which is consistent in flavor and bouquet from year to year. I would describe Chivas Regal as smooth, with a honeyed richness, round and full-bodied, slightly smoky with a long, lingering finish. The classic, premium Scotch whisky.'

Other reviews... Nose: Distinct marshmallow. Peach blossom. Faint cocoa. Palate: Light hazelnuts. Cream. Buttercups. Violets. Lavender. Herbal. Finish: A little snappy and aggressive. Comment: The flavours tail off, as though the whisky is going to sleep. Smooth and easy, but lacks livliness. Springtime never quite blossoms into summer.. Rating: 75 - Michael Jackson, www.whiskymag.com

Brilliant golden amber color. A somewhat closed nose of light caramel, toast, and vapor. A soft, buoyant entry leads to a off-dry, somewhat thin light-to medium-bodied palate with sweet toasty malt, peppery spice, and a brush of grain alcohol. Finishes dryly with a quick, hot fade. 40% Alc./Vol.

Keo Commandaria St.John Dessert Wine (500ml)

Troodos Mountains, CYPRUS
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

The story behind this unusual wine dates back to the time of the Crusades. The island of Cyprus was then a favourite resting ground for Crusades returning from battle and later became a centre for the Knights of the Order of St.John. It was the members of this order who discovered a wine that was been produced in the Troodos Mountains. This wine they named Commanderie after their headquarters, finding it to be not only an excellent drink but also to possess therapeutic properties.

Estienne de Lusignan described Commandaria St.John in 1572 A.D., recording in his book “Descriptions of the island of Cyprus”: “There is a certain grapevine…which ripens at the end of July, whose grapes are not gathered until the end of September. They [the grapes] are put on the roofs the space of three days…then trodden and the pips and stalks removed before fermentation.”Commandaria St. John is then aged in large earthenware jars buried in the ground and fortified with grape brandy.

Other reviews... Tawny colour with a golden rim. Intense bouquet with aromas of dried fruits, oak and a hint of caramel. Luscious, sweet palate displaying dried fruits and spice, finishing with a plummy aftertaste. A most affordable and pleasant aperitif or desert wine. Serve at room temperature. 15% alc./vol.

Writers Tears Pot Still Irish Whiskey (700ml)

IRELAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Writers Tears is a vatting of Pure Pot Still and Single Malt (proportions are a closely guarded secret). It's the creation of Writers Tears proprietor, Bernard Walsh, who enjoys privileged access to the warehouses of certain Irish distillers from where he selects the casks for his own labels. Some years ago he came up with this entirely ‘new’ type of whiskey: a blend of malt and pure pot still (PPS) whiskeys (all other Irish blends contain some proportion of Coffey still grain whiskey). The Pure Pot Still is a style that was once known as the "Champagne of Irish Whiskey" and was traditionally a favourite of Irish writers suffering from writer’s block. Rather poetically, they drank so much of it, some were reputed to have cried tears of whiskey when inspiration finally hit. Although the Pure Pot Still style was once widespread in Ireland, a number of historical factors including the The Irish War of Independence, the Irish Civil War, and prohibition in the United States led to a drastic reduction in the number of Irish distilleries. With this reduction in Irish whiskeys available came the loss in recognition abroad of the pure pot still style itself. The majority of the surviving distilleries began to produce blends and single malts to the detriment of the Pure Pot Still.

Tasting note: Flawless, bright gold appearance. One of the most pristine and delicate Irish aromas we’ve experienced with a deliciously fruity edge including notes of peach and pear over a distinctively Irish pot still base. Several minutes aeration draws out banana cake and flashes of apple along with hints of vanilla and manuka honey. Supremely soft entry builds into a medium bodied whiskey of stunning purity, achieving a wonderful fusion with a gently spiced, fruity, grainy profile followed by a burst of butterscotch at mid palate. Soft, slightly oily mouthfeel. Finish is dry and understated with notes of vanilla and cereal followed by a subtle butterscotch fade. In a word ‘elegant’, in fact, so lacy and light, it’s hard to believe this is whiskey, such is its softness. Must try Irish. Non Chill filtered. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... A glossy pot still character: rather than the usual fruity firmness, the recognisable pot still traits are shrouded in soft honey tones which dovetail with lightening kumquat-citrus tones. Quite a curious, but always deliciously appealing animal. Works beautifully well: the arrival is an alternating delivery of soft and hard waves, the former showing a more bitter, almost myopic determination to hammer home its traditional pot still stand point; the sweeter more yielding notes dissolve with little ot no resistance, leaving an acacia honeyed trail...” 93 Points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2010

2009 Chateau Mouton Rothschild

$2099. 00
Bottle
$25188.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Chateau Mouton Rothschild holds a unique place in the history of Bordeaux, being the only property to have its ranking changed since the introduction of the 1855 Classification. Originally listed as a Second Growth, through the tireless efforts of Baron Philippe Rothschild to make a wine he truly believed could match the best in the world, the property was upgraded to First Growth in June 1973. Known as the most flamboyant of the First Growth wines, Mouton Rothschild shows the rich and exotic side of Pauillac. Plantings on the 75 hectare property are a mix of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot.
"...the 2009 is sure to thrill those fortunate to own it for several decades. In a word: dazzling." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Other Reviews....
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Mouton Rothschild gives up bold earthy notions of underbrush, tilled soil and fungi over a core of crème de cassis, plum preserves and Indian spices with a waft of camphor. Full-bodied with a firm, velvety tannin texture and packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, it has seamless freshness and a very long, decadently fruited finish. Drink 2020 - 2060.

The 2009 Mouton Rothschild is exceptionally beautiful. A huge, powerful wine, the 2009 possesses stunning richness and radiance, with plenty of underlying structure to support all of that exuberance. Smoke, grilled herbs, tobacco and incense give the 2009 much of its exotic, captivating personality. Seamless, opulent, yet with terrific freshness, the 2009 is sure to thrill those fortunate to own it for several decades. In a word: dazzling. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot. Harvest took place between September 23 and October 6 in a year marked with dry weather, higher than average temperatures and generous sunshine. Drink 2024-2059.

The texture is the most striking thing on this wine, right from the attack. It rolls out a carpet of silk and welcomes you in, and displays the gourmet edge that Mouton does so expertly, with blackberry, black cherry, crushed blueberries and garrigue. It has a softness that makes it not necessarily signature Pauillac, but certainly signature Mouton, with the ripeness of the fruit tempered by firm, brushed tannins and a core of controlled acidity. Crushed mint leaves appear on the finish. Multi-layered and brilliant.

Jane Anson - Decanter (Feb 2019)
Everything that makes Mouton Rothschild one of the world's great wines is here in spades. Incredible levels of concentration with an opulence not found in other Pauillacs create the backdrop here. Unctuous, velvety, rich, and palate-staining, there is an exotic edge to the texture, countless layers of perfectly ripe fruit, purity, and a spicy edge that sets you up for a seamless finish that lasts more than 60 seconds. As good as this is, patience is going to be a virtue here, as this is only getting started. Drink from 2029-2075.

Highland Park Wings of the Eagle 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Orkney Islands, SCOTLAND
$175. 00
Bottle
$2100.00 Dozen

ABV: 44.5%

Sixteen year old Wings of the Eagle celebrates Orkney’s wild and windy island climate. Matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, the resulting whisky is "spicy and elegant" delivering a combination of flavours "layered as intricately as the feathers of an eagle’s wing". Expect hints of figs, apricot, chocolate, marzipan and nutmeg. 44.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... More Viking stuff by dear HP, and I say why not? Even if the pack says that this is ‘spicy and elegant’, which sounds hardly Viking (when seen from France). Colour: gold. Nose: very HP, I would say, starting a wee bit spirity but getting then minerally honeyed and smokingly heathery, while notes of ale, marmalade and custard are roaming the oceans in the background. Trying to get into the Viking spirit too, you know... Mouth: it is, indeed, rather spicy, slightly eau-de-vie-ish (I would have said 10 instead of 16), but good, with raisins and this wee smoky minerality that’s very HP. Touches of strawberry jam and then more marmalade. Finish: medium yet a tad rough, with a little kirsch, or slivovitz, then raisins in chocolate. Comments: some pretty good Highland Park, for once whisky travellers won’t lose their time while transiting through international airports. 84 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Cardhu 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Winner Best Speyside Single Malt - World Whiskies Awards 2016.
While the entry level Cardhu is considered somewhat 'beige', the 18 year old is described as one of the great all rounders in its category, with just the right amount of sweet barley and smoothness. Critics have acknowledged this bottling as re-affirming the distillery's reputation for high quality. Awarded 'Best Speyside Malt' in 2016, the lads at whiskyfun.com also commented, "a surprise, really... Do not overlook this expression of little Cardhu…" Comes packaged to impress in a distinctive decanter style bottle. See below for more reviews.
... It’s an expression I like, gentle and complex, even if I’m not sure we’re seeing it much on our favourite shelves these days. Colour: gold. Nose: very very nice, not too demanding but complex, a bit old-school (the school of the 1990s shall we say), with some malt, glazed chestnut, roasted nuts (aren’t roasted nuts disappearing from our malt whiskies?) and a large bag of Jaffa cakes. Orange blossom water. Wee touches of aniseed here and there, rose petals, stewed peaches, a little tamarind jam, some wee metallic touches (silverware)… Nutshell, something oriental. Mouth: excellent and not even very light. Marmalade, dried figs, raisins, walnut wine, pecan pie, honey-glazed nuts, Chinese pancake, maple syrup… I find this 18 really superb; only slight problem, it goes down like cold beer or wine. Finish: not too long for sure, but clean and wonderfully honeyed and nutty. What we call ‘chouchous’, or caramel-coated roasted peanuts. Simply a sin. Comments: a surprise, really. Have they upped their game? Do not overlook this expression of little Cardhu… 86 points - whiskyfun.com
...Cardhu—for me, at least—means intensity, and this delivers precisely that, with masses of citrus (bergamot and grapefruit) and just a hint of dark chocolate behind. With water, there’s red apple and Victoria plum, while the mouth is precise, with any richness cut with fresh acidity. Zesty and fresh on the finish. Try it in a Bobby Burns. Released without any fanfare, here’s evidence that Cardhu’s rebuilding its reputation nicely. 84 points - whiskyadvocate.com (Fall 2013)

Other Reviews....
Considered a more "restrained" Grange, this wine has balance but a somewhat foursquare/monolithic character with dry, astringent tannin in the finish, hence the question mark. The color is still a healthy dense purple, and the wine shows the tell-tale peppery, asphalt, earthy, creme de cassis characteristics, but the tannin seems to be increasingly problematic. As always, it is still a young wine, so the question that begs to be answered with time is, "Is it just unevolved and backward, or is it too tannic?"

Notes Sourced from Southcorp Wines
Regional sources: Kalimna (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Clare & Modbury (Adelaide plains)
Grape varieties: 99 per cent Shiraz & 1 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol: 12.9% Total acids: 6.1 grams per litre. pH: 3.47
Growing season/vintage: Cool to mild growing season followed by similarly good conditions at vintage, with late rain delaying picking.
Comments: Rated 90/100 points by Robert Parker in 1990. Elegant, cool-year wine.
Tasting notes: Beautifully balanced and structured wine with strong cassis/berry aromas and flavours set against oak with an unexpected touch of clove/spice. The tannins have been judged to perfection. (James Halliday, Weekend Australian, Dec. 1988)
Sweetly scented with coconut, cherry and plum, a hint of mint. Slightly plain and closed at first, then opening up with more fruit and mint. Quite full-bodied and firmly tannic, without the dense fleshiness of warmer vintages. A good wine; needs several years before drinking, say 2000-2015. (Huon Hooke, 1993)
Ripe plum and sweet berry fruit aromas, still youthful. Sweet, spicy, plum and cherry-like flavours combine with pronounced, gripping tannins on the palate. An elegant wine. Drink 1998-2015. (Rewards of Patience, 3rd ed., 1994)
"Medium-full red/purple. Restrained, with earthy/pruney/meaty aromas and leafy touches of. Tightly structured palate with blackberry, cedar, leafy/herbal flavours and a firm backbone of tannin. Great mouthfeel. May develop further in the bottle. Drink between now and 2010." (Southcorp Wines, The Rewards of Patience, Fourth Edition, March 2000)

The Beltion brand was born after the second world war when Giacomo Gianandrea began selling his production of almond milk. The name (and the milk) soon became popular throughout Southern Italy. Fast forward to 1995, when his children set up a modern operation with a view to extend the brand to a wider range of cordials and spirits from the classic Italian repertoire. These include Sambuca, Anice, Amaro and an unusual expression of a liqueur standard, 'Opera Beltion White Amaretto'.

Tasting note: Viscous, opalescent, pale emerald green. Smells of ripe lemon - not confected - with some peel characteristics upping the freshness. A light to medium bodied, semi-sweet liqueur with lemon barley sugar flavours and a warming, medium fresh finish. 30% Alc./Vol.

Tullamore Dew 12 Year Old Special Reserve Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Tullamore County, Offaly, IRELAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The longer whiskey is allowed to age in the cask, the more its character develops (as does its rarity.) This is why whisky lovers are prepared to pay a little more for the pleasure of drinking Tullamore Dew 12 Year Old. Unlike its simpler & much younger counterpart, Tullamore Dew 12 YO is a blend of triple distilled, 12 -15 year old whiskeys, matured in old Bourbon casks and old Oloroso Sherry butts. Once poured, the 12 Year Old’s complexity and sophistication are immediately apparent with clear flavours of Irish Pot Still and unpeated malt emerging. Undertones of toasted wood from the lightly charred Bourbon casks give way to a sweet nuttiness derived from the sherry butts.
Awarded a gold medal and named 'Best Irish Whiskey' in the 1999 International Spirits Challenge, an achievement repeated the following year when Tullamore Dew was voted best Irish Whiskey in the 2000 International Spirits Challenge. Further success has been achieved in 2001 with the award of the Gold Medal in the International Wine & Spirits competition.
Other reviews... Brilliant gold. Refined praline and toffee nose. A clean, light palate follows through with subdued, grainy malt, hints of vanilla and flowers. Finishes with a slightly citrusy and oak spice note. Subtle and refined. ' International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal

An elegant, silky, middle-weight rum with flavours of pineapple pudding, dilute golden syrup, liquorice bullets and sweet spice. Ends nicely balanced, medium dry and deceptively long.

2015 Domaine Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Comte Armand is one of the most respected names in Burgundy, with a rich history deeply rooted in the village of Pommard. At the heart of their holdings is the legendary Pommard Premier Cru Clos des Epeneaux, a walled monopole vineyard that has become synonymous with the domaine itself.
What sets Clos des Epeneaux apart is its remarkable ability to balance Pommard's natural power with a sense of elegance and finesse. The vineyard's old vines, some over 80 years of age, yield wines of depth and complexity, yet with a vibrancy that makes them captivating even in their youth. With age, these wines evolve beautifully, revealing layers of dark fruit, earth, and subtle spice.
Other Reviews....
Here the nose is notably riper than the 2016 version yet it manages to retain good freshness to the pure red berry fruit, earthy, floral and spice-suffused aromas. The decidedly dense, tautly muscular and powerful broad-shouldered flavors are underpinned by notably firm tannins and outstanding length on the beautifully complex finale that exhibits just enough warmth to warrant mentioning. This is quite clearly built-to-age and it's going to need it. In a word, impressive. Drink through 2030+.
94 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux is fabulous, wafting from the glass with notes of wild berries, orange peel, cinnamon, rich soil and espresso. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a lovely line of bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, sappy energy, and terrific depth and tension at the core. This is a great Clos des Epeneaux from Paul Zinetti. Drink 2025 - 2055.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Apr 2018)
The 2015 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru takes time to coalesce in the glass, eventually revealing black cherries, raspberries, autumn leaves and a touch of incense. It is understated and classic in style, but seems to grow with aeration. The crisp palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and plenty of tension – a bit linear and strict at the moment, though I suspect this will age with real style once it has gotten through its adolescence. Do not touch for 5 to 7 years. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Drink 2023-2045.

Penderyn Myth Single Malt Welsh Whisky (700ml)

$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

"What is Welsh for Wow!?" - Jim Murray
'Myth' is the second whisky in Penderyn's 'Dragon' range of 41% ABV expressions, along with Celt and Legend. This departs from the distillery's commonly found style of ex-Madeira wine cask-finishing, preferencing ex-bourbon and ex red wine casks. There are less pedestrian flavours of melon and green apple suggested through the vanilla and biscuity malt. It is arguably the fruitiest in the collection while remaining a subtle, low-key experience with little to no burn, leaving the impression of a well-made blend. Non chill filtered.

... [+/- 2017 bottling] Not the first time we’re trying this entry-level NAS. Hope they improved it a bit… Colour: straw. Nose: difficult, acidic and full of iron and concrete. Milk, yoghurt, mud, cow stable… Not too sure here… Mouth: better on the palate, with some tropical fruits yet again (much fewer than in the 2007 and 2008 though), probably from fresh bourbon, then some lighter vanilla and touches of barley water. Feels like a blend, with this lightness. Quite some sawdust, not the best part. Finish: medium but a little planky. Flour, tapioca, sawdust… Comments: I had hoped this baby would make it to 80 but the sawdust handicapped it in the end. Good but not quite mythical, I would say. 78 points - whiskyfun.com

Suntory Hibiki Japanese Harmony Master's Select Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)

JAPAN
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Launched in March 2015, this is yet another NAS addition to Suntory's sought after "Hibiki" series. More exclusive than the standard Harmony bottling, it's the first Hibiki created for the global duty free market. A combination of over ten malt and grain whiskies aged in five different types of casks from the Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries, Suntory chief blender Shinji Fukuyo was involved in its creation, with production overseen by the third generation Master Blender and great-grandson of Suntory's founder, Shingo Torii. Beautifully presented in the brand's trademark 24-faceted bottle representing the Japanese seasons, the bright brass colour shows impeccable purity. The initial pass finds subdued, resinous, woody aromas with extended air contact finally amplifying the bouquet beyond mediocre, releasing attractive fragrances of dusty cocoa, dates, oak shavings, cinnamon and pepper. Medium bodied, the mid palate expands with dried fruits, hazelnut, light cocoa and peppery warmth. At the finish, there's wood spice and wood shavings followed by a subtle vanilla and honey undercurrent. It improves over time, ending up richer and more robust than most Japanese blends at its level, probably due to some sherry casks in the mix. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Some NAS blend and a loco-loco price of more than 100€ a bottle – 250€ at some online crooks’. Of course the older age-stated Hibikis are/were great whiskies, but this is just very scary and feels a bit like extreme cow milking, if you see what I mean. But okay, let’s assume some kind of master actually selected this, and proceed… Colour: gold. Nose: your average American-oak doped young whisky at first, but I have to admit it develops nicely and with unusual traits, such as genever, tapioca, and soft cinnamon. Lacks depth though, while it feels a little too ‘technological’ for me. Nice hints of new tyres, though. Mouth: right, this is good despite the wood that’s too apparent for me. Feels wood-flavoured. Then tangerines and papayas, nectarines, and Greek muscat. And why not? Finish: medium, with a little cedar wood, Turkish delights, and more peaches or nectarines. Comments: feels a bit like whisky made in a lab – you’re right, aren’t they all these days – but of course, they made it well. Very well, actually. Honestly, it’s still worth a solid 82 in my book. 82 points - whiskyfun.com

In general, we've found the Fee Bros range of bitters to be more pungent than other bitters on the market, so they offer fantastic value for money by being used sparingly.

White Oak Akashi Red Blended Japanese Whisky (500ml)

Akashi, JAPAN
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Like every other whisky-making country, Japan now produces a wide range of styles, from sherry to bourbon cask matured to peated and cask strength expressions. In short, expect diversity, and a few surprises along the way.
One should also keep in mind that the Japanese whisky industry is not highly regulated. For example, their whiskies can and do combine malt whisky from Scotland with Japanese whisky. This is not an uncommon practice in Japan, and often the exact breakdown remains undisclosed.
Akashi do not obfuscate about the contents. They are more open than most. For instance, they state on their labels (in Japanese) the breakdown. Some of their products are composed of local and imported (ie. non-Japanese) malt whisky combined with a high proportion of molasses spirit (some of which has been stored in barrels).
While we're not certain of the breakdown of the Akashi Red, we do know it's a malt and grain blend, and likely a young to very young whisky - which is not surprising given the price point. Regardless, the proof is in the pudding. Taste-wise, we think this is one Japanese blend that sits comfortably alongside many a Scottish equivalent.
Tasting note: Brilliant brassy gold. Nosing finds a pleasing balance of fruity malt, vanilla and sweet grain-cereal notes. Surprisngly flavoursome, with a medium bodied, rounded, supple mouthfeel and delicate dried fruit / orchard fruit flavours. Some sherry input? Drying vanilla oak balances the malty middle. Kind of like a young Ben Nevis. This may well exceed your expectations for entry level Japanese. 40% Alc./Vol.
Whisky writer, David Broom, comments, "The White Oak distillery is perhaps the least known of Japan’s whisky producers, but it has a legitimate claim to be the country’s oldest with a license to make whisky granted in 1919 — four years before Yamazaki was built. It's located in the city of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, west of Kobe, facing the Seto Inland Sea. The distillery was founded by Eigashima Shuzo in 1888 to produce sake. Eigashima Shuzo obtained a license to manufacture whisky in 1919, but it was when the company moved to their current facilities in 1984 that White Oak Distillery was born.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with notions of candied violets, cassis, underbrush and warm black plums with waves of Black Forest cake, cedar chest and yeast extract scents. Medium to full-bodied, the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly structured with super ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered. Drink 2021-2045.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Dec 2018)
The 2016 Lagrange has a tightly knit, focused bouquet of intense blackberry, briar and cedar aromas. This is impressive, and it gains intensity with aeration. The medium-bodied palate delivers grainy tannin, a fine bead of acidity and a vivacious, spicy, almost peppery finish. One of the most powerful Lagrange that I have tasted. A Saint-Julien that is consistently underrated, this 2016 will give a great deal of pleasure over the next 30-plus years. Drink 2023-2056.

The Grand Vin 2016 Château Lagrange checks in 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot brought up in equal parts new and used barrels. It shows the fresher, elegant style of the vintage and offers beautiful black cherry and cassis fruits intermixed with tobacco leaf, damp earth, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, seamless, and layered, it has a vibrant, tight texture, terrific tannin quality, and a great finish. It's a quintessential expression of this vintage. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two to three decades. Drink 2022-2047.

An excellent Lagrange, this is every bit as good as it was en primeur, with a similar fruit quality doing a lovely vertical trick through the mid-palate where you can feel each individual element's weight, but cushioned on a bed of air. Ruby in colour with some violet around the edges, this wine is well made and built to last. Chewy tannins and black fruits make this fairly Pauillac in style. At 50% of total production in 2016, this represents the highest proportion of grand vin for years following replantings back in the 1980s. Drink 2024-2040.

2016 Chateau Rieussec (375ml)

Closure: Cork

Being owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (of Lafite fame) has been a boon for Chateau Rieussec. Since taking over the property in 1984, the planted vineyard area has increased from nearly 40 hectares to roughly 90 hectares today. Investment has also been made in the cellars, and the winemaking team are now better placed to work with the multiple small lots stemming from various parcels and picking runs through the vineyard. The vineyard is planted to 90% Semillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc, and 3% Muscadelle, and the wines are aged in roughly 50% new French oak.

Pale lemon colored, the 2016 Rieussec comes sashaying out of the glass with a beautiful floral and citrus perfume of orange blossom, pink grapefruit, yuzu, lime leaves, lemongrass and fallen leaves with hints of nutmeg and candied ginger. Having shed a lot of the puppy fat from when I last tasted this from barrel, the palate reveals loads of elegant, tightly wound layers and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Drink 2021-2050.

The 2016 Rieussec has plenty of botrytis on the nose, along with scents of honey, white peach, saffron, lanolin and walnut that gain intensity with aeration. The very well balanced palate presents a viscous opening and a fine bead of acidity. Generous and poised, with hints of marzipan and Turkish Delight decorating the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Drink 2023-2045.

So much botrytis on the nose with spice, dried mushrooms and nutmeg. Dried lemons and mangoes. Full-bodied and medium sweet with density and, at the same time, lightness. I like that it is full of botrytis on the palate at the beginning and then turns fruity and very pretty at the end with citrus and fruit. Balanced, creamy and rich. Try after 2024, but already gorgeous.

A step up over the Carmes de Rieussec, the beautiful 2016 Château Rieussec has remarkable purity and freshness while still packing beautiful depth of fruit. Honeyed peach, apricot, flower oil, and even a hint of wet stone all emerge from this full-bodied, thick, opulent effort. I love it. It has a rounded, sexy style ideal for drinking any time over the coming 15-20 years. The 2016 is a final blend of 83% Sémillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. Drink 2019-2039.

A great Sauternes with a wonderful brightness and freshness, this gathers speed through the palate, developing flavours of cinnamon, caramel, white pepper, clove and smoked pineapple, all wrapped in an extremely silky texture. It's still in barrel, and will be for another few months. Around 50% new oak. Drink 2022-2040.
