Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters (146ml)

New York State, UNITED STATES
$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

ABV: 53%

Closure: Cork

Small batch bitters are surely making their mark on the cocktail scene, with cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders rediscovering the long lost recipes of the golden era and coming up with new signature flavours which help create the palate of the New Age Cocktail.

While living in San Francisco in early 2007, Avery and Janet Glasser used high proof spirit and a variety of herbs, peels and spices to create what would be their prototype recipe for the Xocolatl Mole Bitters and catalyst for their new venture.

The summer of 2010 marked a dramatic rebirth for Bittermens: winding down previous licensing agreements, striking new partnerships (i.e. The Bitter Truth) developing new products and most importantly, leasing a commercial kitchen. All Bittermens products are now being made by hand at their Brooklyn facility using primarily organic ingredients.

Inspired by the classic chocolate Mole sauces of Mexico, Xocolatl Mole Bitters are a combination of cacao, cinnamon & spice. This bitter was originally designed to pair with aged tequila, but will work beautifully with aged rum, bourbon and rye as well. Add a dash in your Old Fashioned or Manhattan along with the recommended Latin Quarter recipe below.

Cocktail Recipe: Latin Quarter
Joaquín Simó for Death & Co.

-60ml Ron Zacapa Solera Rum
-1/2 barspoon Sugar Cane Syrup
-1 dash Angostura Bitters
-1 dash Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters
-3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

-Lemon Twist

-Absinthe Rinse (or Herbsaint or Ricard)

Fill a double old fashioned glass with ice and a small amount of Absinthe. Stir the Rum, Sugar Cane Syrup and bitters in an ice filled shaker glass. Dump the ice from the old fashioned glass and rotate the glass to ensure that the rinse coats the entire inside of the glass. Strain into the glass.

Beltion Anice Forte Liqueur (700ml)

ITALY
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

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: Crystal clear. Appealing and authentic aroma features fresh star anise along with hints of clove and vanilla. Water like entry builds into a concentrated, medium weighted profile with fresh liquorice strap augmented by a gently warming, spicy flourish. Concludes deliciously fresh, medium dry and long. Nicely done. 40% Alc./Vol.

ABV: 15.5%

Closure: Cork

Tasted 2008: The megastar of the Tatiarra Collection is scarce as hens’ teeth this year due to the drought – but a total concentrate of flavour.

A total saturate of black purple colour. Top note of vanilla followed by liquorice allsorts, spice, blackberry and black pepper. Explosive palate – a sensation of wonderfully ripe blackberry, plums and black pepper meshed with liquorice allsorts and vanilla. A wine of incredible length, depth and balance. Fine grained perfectly balanced tannins. Exceptionally long aftertaste of blackberry, plum and black pepper.

Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

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

Replacing the Wood Finish Range, the Glenmorangie Extra Matured Range is a selection of three single malt whiskies that, following an initial maturation of at least ten years in ex-bourbon casks, have been matured for an extra period (bringing the total time in cask to at least twelve years) in specially selected, extremely high quality, casks that previously held Port, Sherry or Sauternes wine. All are bottled at 46% ABV and non chill-filtered to enhance taste, mouthfeel and/or texture.
Glenmorangie's pioneering research into the wood selection on whisky maturation is exemplified by the Quinta Ruban (ruban is Gaelic for ruby), where mature Glenmorangie is transferred from the original bourbon cask and then extra matured or 'finished' in the finest Ruby Port Casks from the 'Quintas' or wine estates of Portugal.
Tasting note: Dull, pale bronze colour with a salmon blush. Mild shellac quickly blows away revealing cherry glace over oat biscuit and cocoa, beautifully integrated with an interesting hint of spearmint. Light to medium bodied but with good concentration. Juicy, semi sweet malt flavours are nicely meshed with subtle stewed plum, spice and old cigar box. Long, spicy aftertaste concludes with a delicate dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and clove end note. 46% Alc./vol.

Fonseca 20 Year Old Tawny Port

Douro Valley, PORTUGAL
$140. 00
Bottle
$1680.00 Dozen

ABV: 20%

Closure: Cork

Fonseca was founded in 1822, when Manuel Pedro Guimaraens acquired control of the Fonseca & Monteiro Company through the purchase of the majority of the Fonseca holdings. As a condition of the sale of his shares to Guimaraens, the departing Fonseca stipulated that his name be retained with the brand.

Absolutely superb!

For political reasons, not long after this purchase, Manoel Pedro Guimaraens was forced to flee Portugal hidden in an empty port wine barrel. He settled in England, where his company remained based until 1927, when the headquarters of the firm returned to Portugal. There remains a remarkable continuity of winemaking within this prestigious house, with Guimaraen's great-great-great grand son, David Guimaraens now responsible for the wines.

Semi translucent deep onion brown colour with onion brown olive green hue. The nose displays a superb refined old brandy spirit top note followed by rancio characters and complexing almond and hazelnut end notes. On the palate there’s flavours of dried raisins, Christmas cake and marzipan followed by some walnut and hazelnut characters with a strong rancio, old brandy spirit overlay. Dry finish with superb spirit integration and an exceptionally long nutty rancio, Christmas cake and marzipan aftertaste.

Tamnavulin Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Tamnavulin has been out of the Australian market for decades. New for 2018 is 'Double Cask', named for having spent time in both x Bourbon and sherry casks.
Other reviews... Entirely pleasant as it is with an attractive, clean maltiness to the thinned golden syrup.... a 92 plus whisky just waiting to happen.
87.5 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2018
...Double Cask sure is a difficult name for any whisky, it’s like if you’d have named your newborn son Donald J. or Adolf. And boo, there’s no age statement either… Colour: gold. Nose: wait, this is nice! There’s this typical vanilla-ed and banana-y profile that screams US oak, but there are good pastries underneath, and marmalade and quince jelly, and then raisins with a touch of mint (leaves). This may have seen some sherry-seasoned oak at some point. It’s a nice, well-carved nose. Mouth: a little more kick would have been welcome, especially since treatments with active wood demand stronger spirits and do not favour heavy reducing too much, in my humble experience. What I’m trying to say is that it’s all a tad too modern for me (again, bananas, vanilla, raisins, coconut), but I agree it’s still a very fine dram, done with care, and very pleasant to drink. Indeed it is a drinker. Finish: short, a tad tea-ish, pleasant. Apricots. Comments: I was having fears – not just because of the unimaginative name – but I was wrong, it really is a fine dram. 80 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Glendronach Forgue 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

The perfect Winter session whisky for those who don't like peat.
Named after the Valley in which the distillery is located, Forgue was hot on the heels of Glendronach's 15 year old re-release earlier this year (for Australia). It's a 10-year-old single malt matured in a combination of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, also marking the distillery’s first expression dedicated to Travel Retail.
Tasting note: Amber gold. Builds with aromas of baking spice (cinnamon, vanilla), prunes, raisin cake and light orange zest. Feels like there's a little more PX than Oloroso influence, with nicely balanced, middle weight flavours of raisins, dried apricot and dark chocolate relieved by delicate peel freshness. Showing good body, texture and richness, it rounds off with gingery warmth, juicy fruit cake and bubblegum flavours through the aftertaste. Like a slightly toned down version of the 'Original', the one litre format and 43% ABV up the value. Non chill filtered.

The ‘Alligator’ – Ardbeg’s Snappiest Whisky Yet?

Alligator is the latest of Ardbeg’s limited releases. It’s a vatting of various ages, with no material less than ten years old. The point of difference here is in the intense firing of the oak barrels that the whisky is finished in. The process leaves the barrel’s staves ‘charcoaled’, taking on the appearance of an alligator’s scales. We’ve heard of some Australian distillers carrying out a similar charring before filling used Port barrels, however it’s usually a cautionary step to remove or sterilize any taint left in the old wood. Unfortunately, it presents potential problems in itself . The intense heat can generate a sulphidic taint (the dreaded rubber band / struck match), the result of burning wine related compounds embedded in the wood. Ardbeg’s Bill Lumsden, has taken a different approach by expanding on the unique use of new American White Oak. The new oak, when heavily charred, does not release the ‘off’ taints of a used barrel. Instead the drinker is presented with a myriad of toasty, savoury, barbequed aromas and flavours. When expertly blended with Ardbeg’s signature first fill Bourbon white oak casks the result is distinctive and impressive.
Non chill filtered and with natural colour, ‘Alligator’ is a must for Islay connoisseurs and Ardbeg completionists. Extremely limited stocks.
Tasting note: Brilliant pale gold colour with a subtle green blush. Powerful opening aromas include wet charcoal followed by lanolin and wet wool, becoming sweeter but more subdued after aeration with spicy stewed fruits and suggestions of smoked meat emerging. Entry is soft and salty before the cask strength concentration kicks in; mid palate is medium dry with a perfectly poised bitter/sweet balance followed by an intense saltiness. Creamy mouthfeel showing remarkable restraint given the high ABV. Finishes pleasantly bitter (like high cocoa chocolate) with tar, elastoplast and hints of dried herbs. Spice and salt persists on the tip of the tongue. Wait for the late charcoal, vanilla and green tea farewell.

Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$144. 99
Bottle
$1739.88 Dozen

ABV: 47%

"Another fabulous whiskey from Willett." - Jim Murray
Established in 1935 and still a private family owned and operated company, Willett Distillery (aka Kentucky Bourbon Distillers or ‘KBD’) have built a reputation as a bottler for a wide portfolio of brands including Johnny Drum, Rohan's Creek, Noah's Mill and Kentucky Vintage amongst others. In short, they're 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.

Unmistakable in its bottle shaped after a copper pot still, Willett Pot Still Reserve was first released in 2008. This latest expression is a restrained, drier style, so if you're looking for layered vanilla and caramel richness in your whiskey, look elsewhere.
Tasting note: [Batch 15D1 tasted] Honey amber hue. Vapoury spirit before the aroma settles into form; dry and spicy at first developing blood orange, gum and sweet oak notes with further air contact deepening and sweetening the bouquet as vanilla, rock lolly, corn cob and peppermint come to the fore. Medium dry, full bodied delivery. Dried corn, orange zest and cocoa. Firm oak and a touch of tea leaf before the finish gains momentum with a thread of sugars. Concludes peppery, dark rye bread-like, mildly sappy and with solid length. Showcases the flavour range of bourbon and rye with a finely tuned sweet-dry balance. 47% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Another fabulous whiskey from Willett. You can so often trust them to deliver and here they have given us a Bourbon showing serious oak injection, yet a sweetness that counters perfectly. 95.5 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2017
First tasted 2011... Deep gold, brassy colour. The nose has a restraint and softness that's very appealing. Aromas of grilled corn, roasted nuts and vanilla; a hint of blood orange emerges with time in the glass. On the palate, this is a big, spicy whiskey, but by Bourbon standards it's on the drier side. Roast chestnut and dried corn flavours at mid palate, with a hint of rye making an appearance on the finish. Excellent balance and length. 91 points

The Kurayoshi 12 Year Old Pure Malt Japanese Whisky (700ml)

JAPAN
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Kurayoshi are one of a few Japanese small-scale craft (or Ji) whiskies to be released in Australia. Created in the shadow of Mt Daisen, at the Matsui Distillery, the whiskies benefit from the mountain’s crystal clear waters and over a century of expertise. The blenders here often combine malt whisky from Scotland with locally produced whisky. This is not an uncommon practice in Japan, and the exact breakdown typically remains undisclosed.
Tasting note: Polished copper. Not vastly different to the 8 year old, showing the same subtle Summer yellow fruits, only softer again and with delicious succulence, a bigger finish and better length. It's delicately oily with cocoa-dusted stewed fruits and buzzing spices through the finish. The balance is perfect here, and it feels older than it actually is. Pick of the bunch. 43% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews… This one’s ‘made in Japan’ according to the label, maybe that’s why the latter is deep purple (no, not particularly proud of that one). But what does ‘made in Japan’ really mean in Japan? Colour: straw. Nose: hold on, this is a very nice nose. Well, if they do indeed produce this in a certain ‘Matsui Distillery’, meaning that it would be actually distilled and matured there, well, kudos to them. If they’re simply independent bottlers in disguise, well, same, because this is nice, rather mineral and grassy at first, then with pears and apples, as well as a little sweet ale. It is William-Granty. With water: porridge, mud, and barley. Scottish. Mouth (neat): good, malty and sweet, with peaches and a citrusy development, with touches of peat this time. This is really good. With water: easy apple juice and muesli. Finish: medium, a little weaker now. Sweet barley. Comments: works.

Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters (150ml)

Rochester, New York, UNITED STATES
$26. 99
Bottle
$323.88 Dozen

ABV: 6.4%

Closure: Cork

Since its establishment in 1864, Fee Brothers continue to expand with a portfolio boasting over 80 drink mix products. The company presently has six different bitters. Up until now, some of these ingredients have been difficult to find despite being essential for many classic cocktail recipes which are returning to popularity. 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.
In addition to its medicinal properties and quality source of hard wood; the Black walnut, not to be confused with its Persian or English counterpart, is a natural choice for Bitters formulation due to its high tannin content. It will in turn contribute a robust, earthy and nutty character to your cocktails.

James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion
Black cherries and black olives mark the nose of the 2015 The Dead Arm Shiraz, d'Arenberg's flagship bottling. It's a blend of older and younger vines from different sites, depending on what the fruit has to offer. Full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured, it's nevertheless velvety on the long finish, picking up hints of licorice and tarragon. It should be approachable sooner than The Coppermine Road Cabernet, but it still deserves a couple of years in the cellar. Drink 2020-2035.

Joe Czerwinski – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
A great opportunity to enjoy an aged release of a topnotch McLaren Vale Shiraz, at a price that many current releases exceed. Great colour here, despite the age – deep, dark reds. Notes of aniseed, tobacco leaves, black fruits, soy, espresso and chocolate are evident. The wine appears to be still very youthful and vibrant, and it seems to really need even more time, over which, expect it to continue to improve. An attractive wine, well balanced and with abundant tannins, all rather fine. Showing impressive length in a fine style, this still has a good ten years ahead of it. Drink 2024-2034.

Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps Liqueur (1000ml)

S.Vittoria d'Alba, ITALY
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 43.5%

This is an imitation of the original Goldwasser produced in 1598 by the German firm, "Danzig". The recipe did not always include gold flakes. These were added when it became thought that gold was valuable in the treatment of certain diseases. Gold is of course totally inert - it is quite harmless to use in food products and has since been found not to impart the benefits the alchemists attributed to it. Tiny flecks of beaten gold are still added purely for the appearance and to maintain tradition. There also exists or existed Danzig Silberwasser, however it is unknown if the liqueur remains in production.
Originally produced from aniseed and caraway, this version from Goldschlager tastes like a butterscotch schnapps with a distinct cinnamon background. Always serve chilled.

Tasting note: Impenetrable and thick raw umber with sienna brown edges. Bitter aromatics are earthy / herbal, hinting at gentian, raw root vegetables plus hints of dried peel. Creamy and sweet; mid palate introduces the bitter herbal edge of the bouquet; finishes faintly bitter with quinine, dried peel and late added sweetness. 30% Alc./Vol.

Tiki Lovers Pineapple Rum (700ml)

GERMANY
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 45%

A new rum label created by Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, the founders of the highly successful brand ‘The Bitter Truth.’
This bottling has its roots in the past when Caribbean distillers would macerate fresh pineapple in high-proof sugar cane spirit, thereby adding an extra dimension of delicious fruitiness to the rum. Based on all natural pineapple extracts sourced from South America, the fruit is harvested at peak ripeness and the juice extracted by pressing. The unfermented juice is then stripped of some of its water content to create a complex pineapple extract. Making up the blend are aged & unaged Jamaican pot-still rums from Hampden Estate and Worthy Park, three year old Barbados rum from Foursquare Distillery and some young column-still rums from both Trinidad and Guyana. The blend is then infused with the pineapple extract and allowed to rest for several weeks giving the sugar cane flavours time to mingle with fruity layers of juicy pineapple, all while maintaining elements of the rum.
The upshot is that this is not your usual kind of flavoured rum. It’s bold, it’s funky with loads of Caribbean personality.
Tasting note: Glossy copper colour. Aromatically, an essence of pineapple pudding captured in a silky rum base. Taste wise, it's a little confected. But more husk than ripe pulp at the finish and the overall authenticity of flavour counters the sugary rush. Try it with ginger beer, in a Daiquiri or a Pineapple Sour. 45% Alc./Vol.

Amrut Peated Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Bangalore, INDIA
$189. 99
Bottle
$2279.88 Dozen

ABV: 62.8%

Established in 1948 by Radhakrishna N Jagdale under the initial name of Amrut Laboratories (a company which produced various alcoholic beverages for the Indian armed forces as well as the general market during the 50's and 60's, namely rum and brandy.)
The company was later passed on in 1976 to Radhakrishnas son, Neelakant Jagdale who initiated the production of malt whisky during the 1980's. At that time, whisky production in India was constituted by vague and permissive laws which saw almost 90% of the product consisting of molasses. Blended malt styles often contained as little as 4% actual malt whisky.
Over the years, Amrut turned this approach on its head, intent on creating a world class whisky that would compete with the likes of whisky from Scotland, and ironically with guidance from the Scots, they came to perfect the process. Award winning malts, such as the highly acclaimed ‘Amrut Fusion’ are the result.
The distillery itself is situated in Bangalore, India, 3000 ft above sea level with the water and barley being sourced from the Himalayan Mountains. Though the maturation takes place high up above the city, the warmer, tropical climate matures Amrut spirits far more quickly than in Scotland. Most Amrut whiskies are reportedly less than 6 years old. Along with award winning whiskies, the distillery also produces brandy, rum, vodka and gin.
Amrut peated malt is made with barley peated and malted in Scotland, but distilled in Bangalore and aged in a combination of new and old American oak barrels. This version packs a punch at full strength. A little water will go a long way in taming this beast. Not for the faint hearted!
Tasting Notes... Pale gold colour. The high spirit prickles the nostrils. Powerful aromatics include damp earth, terracotta, biscuit, manuka honey and lanolin. In the mouth, achingly intense spices compete with off dry, earthy peat; some burnt toffee apple sweetness enters, but the intense spices are relentless to the point of being mouth numbing. As the spice gradually subsides, kippery, Fishermen’s Friend flavours complete what is a stupendous whisky experience by any measure; ultimately invigorating, though the spice might be too much for those with an aversion to factor 5 curries. The careful addition of water would improve the overall balance, unfortunately our sample was too small to permit experimentation. 62.8%

Planteray (formerly Plantation) Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum (700ml)

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
$93. 99
Bottle
$1127.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

A pineapple-infused libation built on Plantation's Original Dark and 3-star white rums. Aromas of fresh-sliced pineapple take centre stage maintaining excellent clarity and lift even after ample air contact. Medium-bodied, with upfront ripe pineapple, the finish adds gentle acidity achieving an impressive sweet/dry balance. Hints of dried banana and golden syrup evoke rum in the aftertaste, but the keynote throughout is pineapple, pineapple and pineapple - in the best possible way. Use it as a base for tropical cocktails. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... not an artificially flavored alcoholic beverage; it's infused with real pineapple rinds. It's a nuanced, delightful sipper, with Trinidad's Plantation Original Dark and Plantation Three Star White as its base spirits, and Queen Victoria pineapples infused therein...Their infusion method, however, is rather modern. The rinds (where essential oils reside) of Queen Victoria pineapples—widely considered the best—are infused with the white and dark rum (separately) for three weeks. The white rum concoction then gets distilled in pot stills, and is married with the dark rum infusion in barrels for three months. The result is entirely tropical, with pronounced pineapple flavor accenting the spiciness of the rum. However, it's not fruity in the way that overly sugary fruit-based cocktails are. It's far more dynamic and of the utmost quality. - David Graver, Cool Hunting

While the other Malfy Gins showcase varieties of Italian citrus (lemon, grapefruit and blood orange), 'Originale' offers a more traditional gin profile. The keynote here is wild Italian juniper along with five other botanicals combined with Monviso mountain water extracted at the village of Crissolo. Established in 1906, the family run distillery is in Moncalieri, just outside the city of Torino - an area famed for its fine wines and spirits. Carlo, his wife Piera and their children Rita and Valter run the show. Beppe Ronco and Denis Muni are the Master Distillers. Their label even has its own 'quality control' stamp: "G.Q.D.I." stands for 'Gin di QUALITÀ DISTILLATO in Italia' - a guarantee of quality and origin. 41% Alc./Vol.

Vickers Gin (700ml)

Geelong, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

ABV: 37%

Having been imported from London in the 1930s, Vickers has been produced under license in Geelong since the 40s, to this day "inspired" by the original recipe.

The English word 'gin' is derived from the French word 'genievre', meaning juniper, the original herb used by the ancient distillers to make their medicines. It must still be the most prominent flavour in gin under EC regulations. London Dry gin is a style of gin and not a geographical description. The term 'dry' is a reference from the old days when the most popular gin was 'Old Tom', which was sweetened with sugar and glycerine. Dry gin was so named to distinguish it from the sweet version.

Tasting note: Crystal clear. An initial whiff of dried juniper, lemon peel and pine needle is followed by sweet, caramel like scents. Neither fresh nor distinctive as gin should be. Palate is faintly fruity in a blanco tequila kind of way and on the sweeter side with hints of marshmallow and little juniper to speak of. Warm, spicy mouthfeel. Meek citrus and juniper are followed by a peppery, citrus and pine needle aftertaste. With so many wonderful gins now available, it's a wonder why anyone would bother with this. 37% Alc./Vol.

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

The Thomson Family Shiraz is produced from Henry Best’s original 1867 Shiraz plantings, and is only produced in exceptional years with yields typically at less than two tonnes per acre.
Tasted early 2001: Outstanding opaque purple, crimson mauve colour. Magnificent nose with intense aroma of vanilla, violets, spice and blackberries, followed by hints of marzipan and liquorice. This is a rare sniff, that finds the aromas resting high in the temples and staying there. On the palate, the flavours are totally mouthfilling, refined elegant and concentrated, with a remarkable degree of persistence. Flavours of black pepper, vanilla and confectionery are seamlessly welded together and enwrapped by velvet smooth tannins. This is a very special taste experience. Perfect balance, with a profoundly long aftertaste, lasting over 5 minutes.

Warenghem Distillery Armorik Classic Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Brittany, FRANCE
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Warenghem distillery is located in Lannion in the north of Brittany. Originally the company produced a herbal elixir (still available today) then moved on to fruit liqueurs. They began making blended whiskeys in 1987 and then tackled the single malt category in 1998, an unusual move. It has paid off in spades as they've won several awards in a short time. The cornerstone of the range, Armorik Classic, brings together the best from the warehouse in a marriage of sherry and bourbon casks of different ages. Non chill filtered.
Tasting note: Pale straw gold. Pure and attractive scents of gobstopper, marshmallow and sweet malt. Aeration adds a whiff of pepper. Seamlessly integrates flavours of cocoa, lightly peppered malt and sooty peat followed by hints of beeswax, dried banana and almond biscotti in the finish. Outstanding purity and poise. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Armorik is made by Distilleries Warenghem in the Brittany region of Northern France and you expect something gutsy and rugged. This is nothing of the sort, though the relatively high strength and the fact that it's non-chill filtered ensure plenty of taste, including a scattering of spices that tickle and tingle the palate at the finish. Before then, though, the key flavors are vanilla, honeyed cereal, overripe melon, and banana. Delightful. 84 points - www.maltadvocate.com, (Winter 2011) Reviewed by: Dominic Roskrow
...the oak is confident enough to go head to head with the big barley: complex, lively stuff; attrctive, gristy sweetness. Subtle oils spread the barley intensity. Dries towards a powdery vanilla. Quietly sophisticated malt. 88 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2014

Henriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich 5 Year Old Madeira (500ml)

Madeira, PORTUGAL
$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

ABV: 19%

Closure: Cork

BACKGROUND
Madeira is produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Henriques and Henriques is the largest independent shipper on the island. The company is focused on the premium end of the Madeira market and enjoys a 15% market share. The company takes its name from the two sons of Joao Joaquim Henriques, a descendent of the first King of Portugal.

LAND HOLDINGS
Vineyard holdings on the island are small, with 4000 growers owning an average 0.5ha each - which by local standards is extensive. Henriques and Henriques also have their own vineyards, 6 hectares at Camara de Lobos (located on the south coast). The company also has 10 hectares at Quista Grande.

SOIL TYPES
The soils of Madeira are basically volcanic, however, the best soils are a stony decomposed red tufa which is known locally as SAIBRO. The vineyards are planted on very steep terraced slopes.

GRAPE VARIETIES
The grape varieties are unusual for Australians and include TINTA NEGRA MOLE, TERRANTEL BASTARDO, and either SERCIAL, VERDELHO BUAL or MALVASIA.

VINIFICATION
The vintage on the Island of Madeira is said to be the longest in the world, starting in mid August with the Malvasia grapes being picked on the lower slopes and slowly progressing through the other grape varieties of BUAL, VERDELHO and SERCIAL. Vintage in the highest vineyards is completed in early November.
The fermentation takes place in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Malvasia and Bual are fermented with limited skin contact, whilst for Verdelho and Sercial, only the pressed juice is used. Fortification takes place with the addition of grape brandy, the amount used and the timing of the fortification depends on the style of Madeira that is being produced.
The majority of young Madeira undergo the "EUSTUFAGEM". This process consists of storing the wine for 3 months in hot conditions with temperatures 45°C. The effect is to mimic the long sea voyages that were a part of the traditional aging process. The best wines are left to age 10 years and more in warm cellars which creates that unique "Maderised" fruit quality.

TASTING NOTE:This is the 'biggest' of the 5 year old Madeira's. Deep onion brown colour, with olive green hue. Aroma of orange rind, toffee and caramel followed by a strong rancio end note. The palate if full bodied, with pronounced rancio flavours. Warm, spicy spirit, perfectly balanced with very long aftertaste of hazelnut, spice, orange rind and rancio.

Antinori Tignanello Grappa (500ml)

Bottle
$1320.00 Dozen

ABV: 42%

Tignanello is a famous Italian red table wine produced from a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. It broke new ground in Tuscany during the mid 1970’s and early 1980’s being first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern styled red wine blended with non-traditional varieties like Cabernet, and one of the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes. Tignanello's grappa is produced from the pomace of its namesake.

Tasting note: Clear, brilliant silvery appearance. Perfumed aromas are waxy (candlewax, crayons), then spicy, fruity notes emerge, in particular raisin and plum. Becomes more bread and pastry like with aeration. A soft light entry builds into a mouthfilling, spicy profile that’s medium to full bodied, dryish, with spicy dried fruits (especially plum). Finishes dry, light and oily. Aftertaste of sultana followed by a faint cocoa fade. 42% Alc./Vol.

The Famous Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Perth, SCOTLAND

Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Blended and bottled by the Gloag family, whose business was founded in 1800. The Famous Grouse is testimony to the unsurpassed blending experience of six generations of this family, which accounts for the consistent quality and smooth character of the blend. Like so many early whisky companies, Matthew Gloag & Son Ltd., has its origins in the early 19th century, when the founder established himself as a grocer and wine merchant in Perth. Matthew Gloag bought malt whiskies from distilleries around Scotland and built up a reputation for his cellars.

Finest malt whiskies, such as The Macallan and Highland Park, are married with exceptional grain whiskies for an unusually long period in fully seasoned oak casks to create the Famous Grouse blend. The product takes its name from the Red Grouse, a native wild game bird of Scotland.

Other reviews…Remains sexy, elegant and refined with a stunning opening on the palate. But can’t help feeling that caramel has recently replaced some of the crisper notes, especially on the finish.

2015 Chateau Haut-Bailly

$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Based in Pessac-Leognan on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Chateau Haut-Bailly has 30 hectares under vine planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. As it is only recently that the wines have truly excelled, with knock out wines in 2005/2009/2010 & 2015, they are one of the best values in Bordeaux, but also one of the hardest to find.
Other Reviews…..
Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Haut-Bailly offers up a tantalizingly savory nose of smoked meats, chargrill, tapenade, unsmoked cigars and black truffles with a core of black currants, black cherries and wild blueberries plus wafts of iron ore and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied, very firm and yet wonderfully plush with a powerful core of fruit—this vintage is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove. The finish goes on and on with persistent earthy/minerally notes and savory/sweet fruit. Although it is tempting and indeed delicious right now, the wine still possesses many restrained layers and should handsomely reward the patient. Drink 2024-2050.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (Feb 2019)
The 2015 Haut Bailly was first tasted at the Farr Vintners tasting, although I felt that this bottle did not show as well. Another at the Vinous Icons event in New York is more representative. Vibrant red berry fruit intermixes with blueberry and cassis on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied and retains a bit of puppy fat. Rich for the vintage, yet very well balanced, it delivers lovely black truffle and tobacco notes on the finish. This is very fine, but it needs further age in bottle. Drink 2028-2048.

James Suckling (Jan 2018)
Reminding me of the 2009, the 2015 Château Haut-Bailly has a riper, sunny, sexy style that nevertheless stays nicely grounded and elegant, with ample classic Haut-Bailly character. Sweet crème de cassis, smoked tobacco, loads of spicy, loamy earth, and cedar pencil, full-bodied richness, ripe, velvety tannins, and flawless balance all characterize this incredible wine. It actually already offers pleasure today given its texture, balance, and purity, but it’s going to evolve for 30+ years. Drink 2023-2054.

Jeb Dunnuck (Oct 2023)
The aromatic complexity of this wine strikes you from the very first moment - this has got to be one of the greatest Haut Baillys I have ever tasted. The 2015 has a touch of Petit Verdot for the first time (not including the mixed fruit from the century-old grapevines that Haut Bailly always uses), from three year old vines. This has a balance and grip that lifts from underneath the fruit, with incredibly precise tannins. Slate, pencil lead and curls of tobacco lead the persistent waves of flavour coming at you, expressing a lightness than deceives you until you feel the layers begin to deftly build up over the course of the tasting. This is utterly delicious, showing all the complexity that you expect from a great wine, together with the supreme confidence that they don't need to trick you with a push of oak (they use 50% new barrels). Drink 2023-2040.

ABV: 48.8%

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

The peak of the Glen Scotia range was 21 Years, but now the distillery has confirmed they've enough stocks to make a 25 year old an ongoing expression - that's despite recent closure between 1994 and 1999. Bottled at 48.8% abv and non-chill-filtered, this was matured in American oak barrels before being married in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks for 12 months. It comes packaged in a handsome oak case engraved with the Campbeltown co-ordinates.
“I created the 25 year old with the history of Campbeltown in mind,” says master blender Michael Henry. “For many years, trade has come through this port town bringing fruits and spices from all over the world on its salty sea breezes. I wanted the liquid to reflect this. The signature nose has hints of vanilla oak, interwoven with subtle notes of sea spray and spicy aromatic fruits. On the palate, it boasts tangy orange and juicy red apples mixed with a caramel sweetness. Its finish is a long lingering taste of sea salt with a spicy note of ground ginger.”
Other reviews... Lemon, ginger, pine resin, and a hint of sea salt on the nose, then banoffee pie develops. Luscious on the palate, with subtle spice, a touch of ashy smoke, and principally big orchard fruit notes. Drying in the lengthy finish, with a wisp of smoke, brine, and peppery oak. Glen Scotia at its characterful best.

Galway Pipe 12 Year Old Grand Tawny

South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Notes sourced from Southern Cross Wines.

Galway Pipe is named after Governor Sir Henry Galway, governor of South Australia from 1914 - 1920. Governor Galway was a frequent visitor to the Yalumba winery and on each visit he would conduct a tasting of the finest 'pipes' (500 litre Barrels) of port. Whichever pipe was most to his liking was inscribed with "Galway's Pipe" and the particular blend was used exclusively at Governor House.The many components of Galway Pipe have an average age of 12 years - the same average age the port has had since Galway's day. On the palate the wine has a high level of sweetness complemented by a relatively low pH and therefore a good level of fresh acidity. This results in a wine that has pronounced aged character but maintains a freshness and a long dry finish - avoiding any cloying character. Quality brandy spirit has added to the complexity on the palate and the wine has a high level of sweetness. 18.5% alcohol volume.

Brookies Byron Slow Gin (700ml)

New South Wales, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 26%

A welcome (albeit limited) addition to the Brookies range, is this "Slow" gin, in the style of English sloe. The point of difference here is that Davidson Plums are used instead of sloe berries. Considered a bush delicacy, the plum is indigenous to the Byron region and is packed with vitamins and minerals.The plums are steeped in Brookie’s Gin for several months. The maceration is diluted to 26% ABV with Mount Warning spring water.
Tasting note: Brilliant copper. Attractive, medium dry aromas suggesting quince paste, plum jam and raisins over muted juniper and white pepper. A juicy-yet-dry, pleasantly tart, plum and red berry flavoured gin with trace pepper in the finish. Delicious Summer sipping, but would be even better at a higher ABV. Keep it simple with soda or just ice. 26% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... While 'slow' gin is not an official gin category, this lovely gin cordial pays homage to the much-loved 'sloe' gin style. In a nod to the style's distinctive plum flavours, Brookie's Slow utilises Davidson Plums to recreate the style. The plums themselves, native to the Byron and the surrounding area, are fruits naturally low in residual sugars, making them tarter than a typical plum. The months-long steeping process, coupled with the lower sugar content, means that while the gin develops the concentrated fruit flavour, it doesn't overwhelm the gin itself. Rhubarb and an earthy hibiscus are encapsulated in this gin. There is also a subtle note of strawberry, minty eucalyptuses, and the underlying dry gin base. 88 points - Jess Clayfield, James Hallidays Australian Wine Companion 2025

$86. 99
Bottle
$1043.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

By the turn of the century Angostura had ventured into the rum market, at first just in bottling bulk rum from other distillers. After years of intensive research into fermentation and distillation processes, the Company installed a state-of-the-art distillery in 1945 heralding its entry into the production of rum on a major scale. By the end of 1960, the Company had extended distribution of its products to over 140 countries across the world, becoming well known internationally for its high quality rums in addition to the now world famous Angostura aromatic bitters. This is a marvelous anejo (aged) rum made from a blend of light and heavy molasses-based rums aged in charred American oak bourbon barrels. Angostura 1919 rum possesses a rich, golden-amber hue with excellent clarity. The rum exudes a complex bouquet brimming over with aromas of cocoa, molasses, caramel and vanilla. It is remarkably soft and well rounded as the rum glides over the plate without a hint of harshness or biting edge. Within moments it opens up, revealing a generous and long-lasting array of toasty flavours.

Tasting note: Pale gold with pale straw hue. The moderately aromatic nose delivers a complex sniff with very ripe banana, brown sugar and honeycomb first evident followed by some heavier undertones of molasses, dark chocolate and liquorice strap. Luxurious palate entry kicks off a silky, off dry flavour wave of spice, boiled lollies, honeycomb and toasty oak. Superb balance. Long, subtle aftertaste of vanilla bean, dates and mocha.

Other reviews... Rich old gold color. Sweet caramel, vanilla, coconut cream pie and mild phenolic aromas. A soft round entry leads to an off-dry medium-bodied palate with caramel, dark roasted nuts, peppery spice, and smoky flavors. Finishes with a long, sweet , toffee, nut, and brown spice fade with a deft touch of smoky woodiness. A smooth, elegant, lightly-styled sipping rum. 40% Alc./Vol.

Labels often refer to noteworthy historical figures to reflect one or another aspect of their product. In this case, St.Agnes was a young girl of great riches and beauty who denying all her suitors, suffered martyrdom for the Christian faith. She was put to death by sword in 303 a.d. and is the patron saint of purity. But how does all this relate to a bottle of brandy? It's the Saint's ‘pure, clean perfection’, that the makers, Angoves, strive to emulate in this product. First distilled in South Australia in 1925 and in continuous production since, it’s longevity in the market place is testimony to the brandy's quality and value.

Other reviews... This is a richly coloured, medium bodied brandy. The nose shows a range of spirit fractions from the higher aromatic to the lower heart fractions. The palate is spirity with good depth and complexity. Maturation in traditional oak barrels has imparted soft, slightly sweet oak after-flavours that complement the full flavoured palate. Most notably, this brandy is delicately clean and dry, whilst retaining a complexity that ensures it can be enjoyed neat or over ice. 37% Alc/Vol
