1998 Best's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz

Great Western, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$350. 00
Bottle
$4200.00 Dozen

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.
PLEASE NOTE: While we do everything possible to ensure back vintage wines are of the finest provenance, OLD WINES ARE NOT GUARANTEED IN ANY WAY. Be aware that flavour profiles can change dramatically in older wines. If you are unsure that you will enjoy the flavours that come with older wines, we recommend you don't buy them.

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)

Tuscany, ITALY
$110. 00
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
$59. 99
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

Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$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.

Neal Martin - Vinous (Feb 2025)
This is an incredible young red with precision and focus that is second to almost none. Full body with a ultra-fine tannin drive that is seamless as it is endless. It ends with such power. Try in 2024 but already impressive to taste.

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.

Glen Scotia 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Bottle
$10788.00 Dozen

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

Angostura 1919 Deluxe Aged Blend Premium Gold Rum (700ml)

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
$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.

Baitz Triple Sec Liqueur (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$32. 99
Bottle
$395.88 Dozen

ABV: 26%

Oranges, the exotic fruit that forms the basis of all Triple Sec, were originally from the Indies and China. The crusades introduced them to Europe from Palestine via Portugal. The original orange “curacao” was made with fruit from the Island of Curacao. However, the term now embraces a wide variety of liqueurs made from oranges and other produce as well. Amsterdam Curacaos are perhaps the most famous and highly regarded. (The Bols company comes to mind.)Water white and highly rectified, White Curacao Triple Sec is created using only the peel of the orange, soaking it in water followed by distillation and rectification. The Baitz White Curacao is a finely balanced citrus liqueur with a spicy background. The aroma is of bitter orange, while the flavour is full and juicy but drier than its orange counterpart. Baitz White Curacao has an alcohol content of 26%.

St. Agnes V.S. Brandy (700ml)

$587.88 Dozen

ABV: 37%

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

Other reviews… A great introduction to Bowmore's single malts, and one of the best 12 year old single malt scotches around.

Comment: Glad to see a Bowmore with an age rather than a brand-name. 8.5/10 - whiskymag.com
The unabashedly briny opening bouquet is all peat, sea salt and salted focaccia; time in the glass serves to bring out a refined Sherry scent. In the mouth, it’s lean, surprisingly sweet and acutely resiny. Ends pine-like, resiny, moderately salty, fruity (yellow fruit, like yellow plum or banana) and semisweet. 85-89 points - wineenthusiast.com

White Oak Eigashima Tokinoka Blended Japanese Whisky (500ml) - 40%

Akashi, JAPAN
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Apart from familiar names like Suntory or Nikka, there are less known distilleries now hitting our shores, and just as worthy of consideration. Perhaps the least known of Japan’s whisky producers is White Oak, 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.
White Oak’s whisky stills are only in operation for one month every year and so their production is very small. It's unclear whether this is a mixture of single malts only or whether grain whisky is also included in Tokinoka, (an intriguing word that translates as "fragrance of time" in Japanese). Beautifully packaged. 40% Alc./Vol.

Plymouth Navy Strength Gin (700ml)

Plymouth, UNITED KINGDOM
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 57%

The first documented modern Martini recipe actually specified Plymouth Gin. It appeared in 1896 in 'Stuart's Fancy Drinks & How to Mix them.' Plymouth has since gained a popular following, becoming a favourite of such 20th century figures as Franklin D.Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Alfred Hitchcock and Ian Fleming.
Plymouth Gin owes its distinctive taste to a blend of ingredients that avoid the use of too much juniper or bitter botanicals, thus giving it a remarkably smooth, integrated palate. Water from the nearby hills of Dartmoor is sourced for its crystal clear purity. The result is a lighter bodied style with fabulous intensity and well balanced botanical flavours.
Plymouth Navy Strength is a new bold and vibrant version of the original classic. Ideal for powerfully flavoured Gin based cocktails. 57% Alc./Vol. No tasting notes available.

Pampero Blanco (White) Rum (700ml)

VENEZUELA
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 37.5%

Few people will be aware that as well as being home to the famous rum based medicinal bitters, Angostura, Venezuela makes a number of well-respected barrel-aged golden and dark rums. Local producers say the combination of tropical humidity and cool winds that bathe Venezuela's sugar-cane fields helps to age the rum faster than in other countries. As José Mandry, president of the Venezuelan Alcohols Chamber that groups most of the country's rum makers says, 'Venezuela is a blessed land situated at the north of South America where the winds don't tear us up but gently rock us, and gently rock our rums.' The change in temperature from day to night stimulates interaction between the alcohol distilled from cane juice and the barrels, enhancing the taste.
Produced at the Licorero del Centro distillery in Caracas, Pampero Blanco is crafted using three stills (Column, Kettle Batch and Copper Pot) giving the Rum Master a mixture of light, heavy and semi-heavy spirits to work with. Blended and aged for around two years in x-Scotch whisky casks then charcoal filtered to remove the colour before bottling, the result is a rum where the flavours are delicate yet confident enough to mix with others, be it in a rum & coke or as a “supporting actor” in a cocktail, such as the classic Mojito.

A new version of Aberfeldy's 16 year old has been released as part of their duty free exclusive series.

Expect soft notes of honey freshened with citrus and delicate tones of baked apples, cinnamon and creamy vanilla. Big one litre format.
Other reviews... The nose is complex and rich with touches of citrus fruits, honey, and muted spices. The spices come alive on the palate with intense notes of cinnamon and allspice complemented nicely by apple cobbler, vanilla, and honey. The finish is long and well-balanced as the cinnamon spiciness fades away gently while lingering apple and honey notes tickle the back of the throat. Excellent!

ABV: 22%

Founded in 2006 by German bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, The Bitter Truth Company were one of the first to revive a wide range of classic cocktail bitters on the retail market for modern day mixers. Today they produce a range in excess of ten flavourings, along with the occasional special batch release - their 'Dried Fruit Bitters' special release was commissioned to partake in the "World's most expensive cocktail" served in Dubai.

Today the company enjoy worldwide distribution for what was once a hobby craft, and are considered among the best for true flavourings as evidenced by the accolades attributed to them.

Missing from the market for many years, Crème de Violette is finally making a resurgence allowing for faithful recreations of classic cocktails such as the 'Aviation' and 'Blue Moon'. The Bitter Truth Crème de Violette is made using wild violet blossoms grown in the Alps, macerated in the finest grain alcohol. While the colour is a deep, intense purple, the liqueur is quite elegant showing delicate and fresh violet aromas.

Other reviews... The dense color is hypnotic: an impressively deep, dark, inky violet blue. Luckily, the flavor is less intense. Instead, it’s sweet and light bodied, with a distinctive violet flavor that pulls back before it becomes too perfumy or overpowering, with a delicate, clean finish. Overall, an excellent pick for floral-tinged cocktails, like an aviation. 93 points -wineenthusiast.com

Grand Old Parr 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Whether you know one or are one, every Old Parr deserves a blend as good as this! In Jim Murray's words, "blending Parr excellence!"

Usually available at Duty Free stores only, Old Parr is named after Tom Parr (pictured on the label), once reputed to be the oldest man in England. Launched in 1909, the brand later found success in export markets such as Japan, Mexico and South America where it was easily identified in its distinctive dimpled and rounded square bottle. The basis of the blend today is Cragganmore, however Glendullan has also been a major component since World War II.

Tasting note: Deep gold / bright copper penny colour. An attractive mix of cocoa, vanilla and breakfast fruit toast with exposure drawing out a fruit'n'nut chocolate aspect. Concentrated for the genre, with a spicy backbone that includes muesli, dried grass and light stewed fruit flavours, ending honeyed yet fresh, grainy, peppery and with excellent length. Quite richly styled. Gets better each time you taste it.40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Perhaps on about the fourth or fifth mouthfeel, the penny drops that this is not only exceptionally good whisky; it is blending Parr excellence. 91.5 points- Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2016

Golden amber color. Aromas of honeyed nut toast and cereal with a soft, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body with a vanilla toffee and pepper finish. A very pleasant, easy-going blend. International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal

Francois Voyer Napoleon Grande Champagne Cognac (700ml)

Cognac, FRANCE
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

In our experience of tasting wines and spirits from all corners of the world, there are some common lessons to be learnt. Firstly, big name brands do not necessarily translate into better quality. Many of our most exciting discoveries have come from producers that take an understated approach to marketing, letting the quality of the product sell itself. Which is why we search far and wide to find the best examples rather than waiting for the latest 'hot' reviews or distributor catalogues. We attempt to taste anything and everything where possible, regardless of price or pedigree - which is why when we discover a hidden 'gem' we're all the more excited.
Secondly, we've observed that the best outcomes are achieved when experienced people are growing grapes in the best terroir. Similarly, when it comes to fine spirit production, maturation in high quality oak is paramount. Pioneering research into the processes of spirit maturation has been taking place in Scotland for some time. Following a recent meeting with Glenmorangie & Ardbeg's Head of Distilling and Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, we learned that Glenmorangie use only first and second fill barrels. After the second fill, the barrels are sold off to other distilleries, intent on cutting costs, or broken down to be used as planters. Lumsden attributes the 'bright and fresh' characteristics in his whiskies - regardless of age, to this staunch but costly practice.
Another famous whisky example; Glenlivet 12 Year Old, in which a less obsessive approach to oak selection yields a spirit that seems 'muted' or even dull, by comparison the Glenlivet Nadurra 16 Year Old which is matured in first-fill casks and despite being four years older than the twelve is remarkably bright, fresh and lively.
By now you must be wondering how all of this relates to Cognac. The Cognac of Francois Voyer is produced on the Voyer family's estate, planted to just 28 hectares, located inbetween Verrières and Ambleville, in Cognac's best appellation, Grande Champagne. Not surprisingly, given the quality of the company's fifteen year old expression, maturation has taken place in top quality, new Limousin French oak casks. It presents a lifted nose, revealing dried flowers, ripe peach above mixed peel and marmalade, hints of cigar box and spice and follows with full bodied flavours of fresh ripe stone fruits over a strong spicy background with hints of creamy vanilla and toasted almond emerging. Luscious and ripe, yet retains a degree of focus thanks to a sense of fine dry tannin and fresh acidity, not dissimilar to that experienced in a well balanced wine - again, a direct relationship with the land on which the grapes are grown. The aftertaste is very soft, smooth and creamy, showing flavours of ripe peach and toasted almond. Wonderful cognac. "Napoleon" is comparable to XO , meaning the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend needs to have aged for at least 10 years in oak barrels. The origin of this unofficial age designation goes back to the French Emperor Napoleon and the Cognac House Courvoisier. 40.0% Alc./Vol.

Green Fairy Absinth (Absinthe) 500ml

CZECH REPUBLIC
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Closure: Cork

Absinthe (or Absinth) is an alcoholic drink made with the pounded leaves and flowering tops of one species of wormwood plant (Artemisia absinthium) together with other herbs such as angelica root, fennel, nettles, parsley, balm, sweet flag root and hyssop. Emerald green in colour and usually very bitter, Abisinthe is traditionally poured over a perforated spoonful of sugar into a glass of water – or vice versa. The drink then turns into an opaque white as the essential oils precipitate out of the alcoholic solution.

Tasting note: Pale turquoise colour with a water like hue. A flat, straightforward nose reveals mild aromas of spearmint confectionary and issues a tingling sensation within the nostrils. A trace of eucalypt is evident. Very concentrated, hot and prickly mouth feel covers the tongue with flavours of semi-sweet spearmint confectionary. Simple and one dimensional, the palate drys the mouth quickly leaving a green peppercorn like flavour. Short, spicy, drying, mint aftertaste with the tingling sensation persisting longer than the flavours. A very basic Absinthe. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Neon blue/green color; excellent purity. Opening inhalations encounter industrial alcohol aromas with bits and pieces of cardboard-like flavorings and nothing really botanical, meaning woodsy, root-like, or herbal; the second whiffs following additional time in the glass does turn up a few hints of things like mint and leaves, but not enough to be viable in a crowded field. Entry is gooey, syrupy, meagerly botantical, and a waste of my time; midpalate is industrial, absinthe-by-the-numbers, and poor. This producer doesn’t have the vaguest clue of what absinthe is or how it should smell, feel, and taste. Clueless.

$1440.00 Dozen

One of the superstars of Barsac, the wines are typically noted for their elegance and style rather than weight and richness. At 38.5 hectares in size, Coutet is one of the largest vineyards in the region, with plantings consisting of 75% Semillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Fermentation takes place in barrel of which 50% are new with further ageing in oak for 18 months.

The 2015 Coutet is pale lemon colored with intense grapefruit, lemon pie and pineapple notes with touches of crushed rocks, honeycomb and lime zest plus a waft of orange blossoms. Rich, opulent and layered with loads of tropical and citrus notes, it has wonderful freshness, finishing long. Drink 2018-2048.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Advocate (Sep 01, 2018)
The 2015 Coutet is a little reduced on the nose and lacks the flair of some of its peers. Pinched at the moment - maybe going through a sulky phase? The palate is well balanced and very harmonious, viscous in texture with perfectly matched acidity and fine delineation and precision toward the finish. Once the bouquet awakens this should be a seriously fine Barsac/Sauternes. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Drink 2022-2050.

Neal Martin - Vinous (Jan 2019)
A heavenly dessert wine, the 2015 Château Coutet boasts a huge nose of caramelized citrus, crème brûlée, tangerine, and honeysuckle. With huge richness and sweetness, moderate acidity, a thick, fat mouthfeel and a blockbuster finish, it’s borderline over the top yet holds it together. It will be interesting to see how this evolves, but it’s undeniably gorgeous today. Drink 2018-2038.

A brand produced by the Bladnoch Distillery in the lowlands, launched to celebrate their 200th anniversary. Bright gold. Moderate scents of vanilla, clove and light fruit cake. Second pass suggests stewed fruits. Light'n'easy in the mouth with pleasant mocha and muesli-like flavours rounded out by a soft flurry of spice. Ends drying, brisk and woody with subtle grains in the aftertaste. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The main dresser should be Bladnoch but there is also some Islay and some Speyside, as well as some grain whisky. Let's hope this baby is Bladnoch-driven, and not just some kind of anonymous blandola (going a bit too far once more, S.) Colour: gold. Nose: it's malty, it's cakey, it is pleasantly waxy (beeswax), it's got a little wood smoke, some earl grey tea, lillies, honeysuckle, touches of earth… Well, imagine all blends would be like this! Couldn't the industry pull this off? Mouth: huge success despite the low strength. Same flavours as on the nose, plus more citrus, perhaps from Bladnoch's malt. This is a perfect blend – you don't even feel the grain whiskies. We're not far from Johnnie Walker's Blue Label, to tell you the truth. Exactly. Finish: perfect fresh and honeyed finish, with this lovely citrusy signature in the end. Comments: surprised and impressed, I am, which wasn't the case when I tried an earlier version leisurely. Did they change the recipe? Not my business of course, but I would also do a version at +/-46% vol. 86 points - whiskyfun.com

ABV: 75.5%

A family business for over two centuries, Gosling's was founded in 1806 by James Gosling and is Bermuda's oldest business house and largest exporter of locally made product. Originally called 'Old Rum', the company's flagship 'Black Seal Rum' was not sold by the bottle until after World War One, when it was packaged in Champagne bottles (the most widely available bottle at the time) and sealed with black wax, hence the name which has stuck. Over the years, Black Seal Rum has become synonymous with the Bermuda region - it is an essential ingredient in the local fish chowder, adds the island flavour to the 'Bermuda Rum Swizzle', as well as being the tempest in Bermuda's favorite cocktail, the 'Dark 'n Stormy'.
Goslings currently produce rums at three different proofs. Despite the 75.5% of Gosling's Black Seal 151, this is remarkably smooth.
Other reviews... Don't be afraid of the 151 on the label. This is actually a delicious sipper, with the same chocolate and port wine flavors as its 80 proof sibling. It also works wonders in Zombies and Jet Pilots. - rumratings.com

Like the 'Cuartillo' in Glengoyne's new Travel Retail exclusive series, Balbaína is also named in tribute to a Jerez neighborhood where the barrels were sourced. Matured in first-fill European oak oloroso casks, expect notes of "caramel, dried apple, and cloves". Big one litre format.
Tasting note: Bright copper. Light, but more aromatic depth than the ‘Cuartillo’, accenting dried fruits (prunes, apricots) as well as bitter dark chocolate, orange spice cake and hints of cinnamon. A medium bodied whisky with a burst of sherry in the middle stage, trailed by warming cinnamon, cocoa and fruit spice cake. Lacks momentum but compensates with sheer purity and poise. Eminently drinkable. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... a funny name, a finish in sherry, and a travel retail exclusive. What could (cough, cough) go wrong? No we won’t try to check what Balbaina means, perhaps someone’s first girlfriend? Colour: gold. Nose: well, nothing really wrong here, it’s a classic malty dram, with touches of burnt raisins and cakes, some vanilla, hints of roasted nuts and a spoonful of good marmalade. Nice citrus (pink grapefruit, perhaps?) Mouth: I find it really good, and again, extremely classic, with raisins, dried figs, bananas and pears, a bit of toasted oak, the obligatory walnuts, a mild spiciness that would rather involve cinnamon and cloves this time, and more toasted cake. Pancakes and maple syrup. Finish: quite long, rather toffee-ish and caramely. They seem to have pushed the oak a bit. Comments: all good, I think, one that won’t disappoint air travellers. It’s all-roundness should work well in travel retail indeed. 84 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

"...only an odd cask has dropped this from being a potential award winner to something that is merely magnificent." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
Bunnahabhain's unpeated style has gained a reputation as the most gentle single malt produced on an island famed for its massively flavoured whiskies. Water is piped in from from Margadale Springs and the whisky is distilled twice in the distillery's unusual pear-shaped pot stills. We were treated to tiny sample of the 18 year old which offered up hints of furniture wax, light molasses, raisin cake and spice on the nose, with the palate following in a delicious fruit and wood burst. Apple and vanilla round out in a beautifully balanced sweet / dry delivery which also shows some light coastal character. This whisky is more expressive in the mouth. Solely matured in ex-sherry casks stored within the distillery’s sea-facing warehouses. 46.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

...Last time I tried the 18 – excuse me, the XVIII – that was still a 43%-version. But they’ve upped their game… Colour: pale gold. Nose: ooh, shoe polish! Something that I always enjoy a lot, reminds of both the best Alsatian rieslings and my time as a corporal in the French army (when we still had conscription). So shoe polish, then menthol, then nuts roasted with mint and honey, then a kind of lemony sea breeze. Yes, oysters and lemon, and finally, cigar boxes and sandalwood. Even balsa wood, remember when we were building those wee planes? Mouth: very, very good, they’ve upped their game indeed. Chestnut purée again, carrot cake, walnut wine, tobacco, and guess what, the same pistachios as in the Claxton’s. Some sides remind me of the early official 12s, those were superb. Finish: medium, and just perfect. Chestnut cake with drizzles of lemon juice and pinches of sea salt. Love the maltier and oloroso-ier (hey!?) aftertaste. Comments: I wouldn’t say it’s a surprise, since back in 2009, I had thought the 18 at 43% vol. was worth 88 points.

Another chance to snap up the World's Best Whisky for 2016 in a one litre format.
The Gimli Distillery situated on the shores of Lake Winnipeg in central Canada is one of the world’s most remote distilleries, as well as being home to the Crown Royal brand. Although Canadian whisky is commonly known as rye, this new CR edition is one of only a handful which is actually made from near 100% rye grain. Most others are distilled from corn or wheat with rye and other flavourings added. Jim Murray gave the Northern Harvest Rye a record-qualifying 97.5 out of 100 points in his 2016 Whisky Bible commenting: “Rye, that most eloquent of grains, not just turning up to charm and enthral but to also take us through a routine which reaches new heights of beauty and complexity. To say this is a masterpiece is barely doing it justice.”
While the whisky was never scheduled for release here, we've managed to secure a small quantity in 1 litre format for Australian whisky lovers. Find out what all the fuss was about!
Tasting note: Brilliant amber gold. Fabulous purity with whiffs of apple/peach tart and fresh-picked mint over vanilla wafer biscuit, pencil shavings, hints of gum and green banana. Crisp and spicy in the mouth. The rye is assertive, oily, dense. An almost brittle mouthfeel. Finish offers buttered ryvita biscuit, vanilla custard, cocoa, pepper and sustained mint freshness. Long, concentrated and beautifully harmonised. 45% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A blend of 95% rye-grain flavoring whisky with a variety of base whiskies. Its big whisky cocktails will tempt mixers into sipping. Very fruity and floral, with prunes, peaches, red apple skins, and bouquets of spring flowers all boosted by vibrant peppery spices on a slightly oaky base. Crown Royal’s signature balsam resin note and hints of vanilla round it out. The long, spicy finish ends with hints of citrus pith. A complex, tightly woven blend. 91 points

"Smooth but with a kick, this is a premium white rum with lots of cocktail versatility." - drinkhacker.com
A combination of rums from Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica - hence the name '3 stars'. Some of the rums are unaged, others aged 3 and 12 years, blended and filtered back to clear before being bottled by the French Cognac house, Pierre Ferrand. Light to moderate aromatics yield notes of unripe banana, green olive and peppercorn, becoming more subdued and waxy with aeration. Starts off light and easy in the mouth but crescendos enough by mid palate to gain a point in concentration. Almost a fine grappa-like profile with subtle fruity / unripe banana flavours leading into a mildly creamy, waxy, grassy finish. Concludes pleasantly spicy, crisp and precise. Not the driest on the market but one of the best. 41.2% Alc./Vol.
Alexandre Gabriel, proprietor of Cognac Ferrand, comments, “…Our desire was to develop a rum that shows character, elegance, complexity and a great finish – the ideal rum for cocktails … beginning with a 3-year aged Trinidad rum, carbon filtered to maintain its white colour and to remove the heavier tannins while preserving the aromatics developed and refined by aging. Un-aged rums from Barbados and Jamaica are blended, along with a 12 year old rum from Jamaica. The Jamaican rum is an expensive ingredient but key to the taste of the overall blend. Trinidad brings elegance and refinement, Barbados brings character and aromatics with fruit notes without being too heavy and Jamaican brings the funk, the touch that makes it a complete product.”
Other reviews... Look for sweet, candied citrus-peel aromas and flavors, enlivened with white pepper and fresh ginger. 94 points - wineenthusiast.com
...This rum is extremely sugar-forward, a monstrously sweet rum that leaves delicacy behind. Big tropical notes — mango and especially banana — hit you after the raw sugar cane fades, and that old Jamaican rum, pot-distilled for sure, brings a touch of hoary funk to the finish. Some citrus notes laced throughout. Smooth but with a kick, this is a premium white rum with lots of cocktail versatility. - drinkhacker.com

"...sherry that behaves itself...there’s no denying it’s very well-crafted. " - whiskyfun.com
As a blender for over forty years, the warehouses are where Billy Walker really comes in to his own. Working with casks dating back to the 1970s, he's created an updated expression of the pinnacle core range offering, marked by a new presentation and a slightly different oak regime: x-bourbon maturation followed by a lengthy spell in oloroso casks. Despite that, it's hardly a sherry bomb, however the style here is more settled and integrated than the younger bottlings, and just gets better and better with time in the glass. A delicious rush of fruity malt (dried pear, apple, vanilla) comes rounded off by crisp oak and orange zest; the balance is outstanding, making this easily the most accessible and elegant whisky in the current line up. That said, if you prefer your Glenallachie on the wild side, stick with the cask strength or even the 12YO. Leave this for the grown ups. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... [2024 tasting] The nose is bright and vibrant with tangerine peels, summer red berries, and oak spices, adding fruitcake and marzipan fruits as it opens up. The lightness of touch on the palate shows its quality, with a core of orange and berry fruits, then a layer of dark chocolate grows to take center stage, supported by crystallized ginger and tangy, slightly bitter marmalade flavors, then waves of dark chocolate on the finish. (600 bottles for the U.S.). 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com
"Rich caramel and toffee mingle with sour dark cherries and almonds, leading to a lighter, fruitier palate where apple pie and creamy toffee unfold. The experience closes with a long, lifted finish marked by marzipan, cinnamon, and butterscotch." 98 points - International Wine & Spirits Competition 2026
[c.2024 tasting] ...The label proudly states it’s ‘overflowing with their signature heather honey charm’, which does sound a bit Highland Park-esque, doesn’t it? We weren’t particularly fond of the ‘previous new 18’ about six years ago, but as DJT would say, some stuff must have been fixed, very much so. Colour: dark amber with reddish hues. Nose: prune juice, plum wine, figs, milk chocolate, PX sherry, molasses, peonies, jasmine, and spearmint. That said, it’s far from heavy or overbearing. Mouth: absolutely nothing like that former 18-year-old. We do quickly arrive at notes of aged wood, deeply steeped black tea, rocket leaves, and dark tobacco. There is a drying quality, but it stays within pleasant bounds. Hints of cold espresso. Finish: sherry that behaves itself, alongside orange marmalade with pepper, cinnamon, and ginger. Comments: not my favourite of the range so far, but there’s no denying it’s very well-crafted. It has a touch of that old M style, just before FO arrived, if that rings a bell. About twenty-five years ago. 86 points - whiskyfun.com

Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $119.99
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Whilst many Australian whisky enthusiasts are familiar with the traditional sherried bottlings from Aberlour distillery, many parts of Europe are privy to its more curious variants which combine whiskies derived from both sherry and bourbon casks, varying in proportion. We have sourced a small quantity of these relatively unknown expressions just to showcase what this distillery capable of.

Other Reviews... Fruitier, sweeter, and more straightforward than the new 16 year old. Ripe tangerine, orchard fruit, and caramel apples, all on a bed of nutty toffee. Underlying notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, with a dusting of dark chocolate. After the sweetness fades away, there’s lingering spice and oak resin on the finish. A good alternative to Macallan 12 year old or Glenfarclas 12 year old.

Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky (700ml)

Hokkaido, JAPAN
Reduced from $159.99
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 45%

Back in 2015, Nikka announced they were discontinuing their age statement and No Age Statement (NAS) releases for the Yoichi and Miyagikyo labels and consolidating them into two new bottlings. These whiskies have now arrived in Australia. Two NAS versions that differ slightly to the previous versions now represent the entire portfolio. It was yet another move that triggered a buying rush. Reports have it that Tokyo is now pretty much out of age statement Japanese whiskies, unless you visit bars or auction houses.

Nikka's reasons for the radical new strategy are now familiar. They simply have no old stocks to sell.
Decades ago, both local and world demand for Japanese malts was low, so few barrels were being laid down for extended periods.

Stefan Van Eycken, writing for www.nonjatta.com explains "...there were years, at both Yoichi and Miyagikyo distillery, when the barrels laid down for maturation could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The ‘stock shortage’ is not an excuse or a PR stunt – it’s very real. Sources within Nikka have said that it is ‘likely’ that age-statement single malts will be brought back in 5 or 6 years’ time. No official statement to that effect has been made for the simple reason that doing so – in Japan – would be interpreted as a promise (which could come back to haunt them in 6 years’ time)."

The dropping of age statements doesn't always translate into a drop in quality. Early reviews for both new releases have been very positive. Evidently, Chief blender Tadashi Sakuma has risen to the challenge of creating a great assemblage from a restricted inventory.

Other reviews... Yoichi age statements are gone for now, but if the whisky stays this good, I can live with that. Black earthy peat, smoldering fires, a turned-out pocket of briny seashells, whole lime, lemon twist, sugared orange, ground ginger, and licorice. Silky smooth, with light, fruity sweetness developing into tangy Spangles, kiwi, and lime juice. The smoky peat is the weft woven through the fruit structure’s warp. The finish is insanely long: menthol, peat, and leather.

Gamboge/flax/chardonnay color; unblemished clarity. In the first nosing passes I pick up all sorts of malty scents, from nougat to candied almond to malted milk balls to milk chocolate to maple; secondary whiffs after more aeration discover salted butter, lightly smoked, toasty aromas that are basically dry, but also nicely rounded and supple. Entry is savory, bittersweet, grainy, toasted bread-like, nutty; midpalate features a medium full texture that caresses the palate while the dry-leaning flavor profile highlights the malty grain and wood resins, especially the tannic acid which dries out the flavor so that by the finish it’s squeaky clean and tight. A really tasty, well-made malt.

Connemara 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

County Louth, IRELAND
Reduced from $159.99
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Since Cooley Distillery resurrected the traditional Irish custom of peating, their Connemara label has gone from strength to strength. This 12 year old is a perfect introduction to the style. Muted and mildly fruity aromas yield attractive grape / cantaloupe / pear notes followed by hints of dried grass, grains and vanilla. The flavours seem to float over the tongue, such is the initial sensation of lightness. Fresh and delicate, a subtle fruitiness repeats, building moderate concentration with a kippery note towards the finish. The peat never really asserts itself and the aftertaste is somewhat fleeting (we're told the smokiness can vary from batch to batch). Regardless, this seduces with its soft touch. American oak matured. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The nose, with its beautiful orange, fruity lilt, puts the shy smoke in the shade. 85.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
...Connemara’s wild west coast landscape is a world away from this peated whiskey’s production at Cooley Distillery on Ireland’s east coast. Greater smoke than Original; lemon and fresh cream translate into lemon lozenges and sherbet, with tangy tropical fruits and well-balanced smoke lasting throughout the finish. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Jonny McCormick 2017
A rugged, undeniably peaty whiskey, with lots of smoke offset by undertones of vanilla and faint butterscotch. 89 points - wineenthusiast.com
...The 12-year maturation has largely broken down the smoke, but also eliminated the off-flavors. I find it much more pleasing than the original NAS, even if the smoke is only subliminal. - whiskybase.com

Warenghem Distillery Armorik Double Maturation Single Malt French Whisky (700ml)

Brittany, FRANCE
Reduced from $135.00
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Tasting note: Brilliant amber / polished copper colour. Nutty and fruity overtones with hints of unripe cantaloupe amid the wood. Everything seems to be in similar measure; Difficult to pin down. Firm and peppery with almost crunchy, grainy malt ; drying oak to finish plus understated, sooty peat and a touch of vapo-rub. Moderate length. Skillfully balanced and more complex than first impressions suggest. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Armorik has been making whisky for more than twelve years; it's growing in confidence, and the quality is improving. There's peat in the malt here, and it gives the whisky a feisty and earthy quality. The spirit is matured first in Armorik oak barrels and then transferred to sherry. Sherry and peat is a tough trick to pull off and this just about gets away with it, with coastal brine and lemon rubbing up against wood smoke, barley, and honey. 81 points

"...as a general all rounder for a lower price, this one is hard to beat". - the lonecaner.com
A blend of rums from the original Wooden Enmore Coffey still, the original metal Diamond Coffey still, as well as from the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still. Bright burnished copper colour. Opens with rich aromas of roasted nuts, vanilla bean, cafe creme and raw sugar. A creamy entry is followed by a plush, intense, sticky date, creme caramel extravaganza with lively spices adding depth and vibrancy. Creamy vanilla, liquorice bullet finale. Concludes satisfying, warming, long. Luxe mixing rum at a budget price. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Having written all the above, what would I recommend? Truth to tell, I’d use this as a high end mixer for sure, and if looking for a premium sipper, just go up to the 15, or blow a hundred for the 21. But as a general all rounder for a lower price, this one is hard to beat – it deserves a place on your shelf for all those visitors to your rooms or houses or apartments who want to try something a bit richer than Bacardi, Appleton V/X, Lamb’s or Mount Gay (those standard staples of the young), but don’t want to bust the bank doing it. - thelonecaner.com
Medium depth of gold. Super attractive nose packed with wonderful aromas of Demerara sugar, honey, toffee, raisin and sultanas. Wonderful balance of rich, ripe flavours and sweetness with rich spice and firm frame. After all the sweet characters there is a delightful, dry finish. Beautifully elegant rum.

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

Isle of Mull, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $119.99
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.3%

Tobermory closed in 2017 for two years for an equipment upgrade. When work was finally finished, the distillery released this new flagship 12-year-old. Replacing the legendary 10, the new Tober' was welcomed by the whisky community as a big step up from 'old school' Tober', that could sometimes be a bit 'dirty' and polarising. This is not a sherry bomb and certainly nothing as extreme or smokey as its alter-ego, 'Ledaig'. Created to be more cohesive and self-confident while remaining at the same price as its younger predecessor, it offers the perfect introduction to the island's style: Smooth and rounded, sweet, but also dry, with orange and citrus notes on the nose and rich oak followed by sweet orange and creamy caramel flavours over hints of spice. Some reports have it that this retains a subtly briney / salty edge, too. Welcome back Tobermory! Matured in first fill American oak and x Bourbon casks. 46.3% Alc./vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nose: Quite earthy with a hint of sweet malt and vanilla custard, but also some orange zest. Just a tinge of copper coins and plenty of minerality. Finally a whiff of honey and subtle stone fruits. Taste: Nice barley notes accompanied by pretty vibrant citrus flavours, quickly followed by a hit of oak shavings and spices — this is were the virgin oak makes its presence known. The whisky becomes slightly herbal and vegetal after. Finish: Herbal, spicy and drying. Medium in length. Rather rich and pretty well put together, this Tobermory is a wonderful introduction to the distillery. Less dirty than I’ve known Tobermory to be in the past, but that’s probably a good thing for me. - wordsofwhisky.com

Ardmore Legacy Lightly Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $84.99
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Legacy was introduced in 2014 as a replacement for Ardmore Traditional. The combination of 80% peated and 20% unpeated malt promises a medium bodied Speysider with smoky, spicy edge.
Tasting note: Gold / pale straw hue. Pedestrian aromas include tea biscuits, light vanilla and haystack. A featherweight entry leads into a medium bodied, grassy, grainy mid palate. Finish is woody, thin, grippy and medium long followed by a moderate aftertaste. The peat is barely discernible. No-thrills entry level malt. Best with a little water. 40% Alc./Vol.
Founded in 1898, Ardmore have an unshakable belief in traditional distilling methods and insist that their Traditional Cask bottling uses the aromatic smoke from natural, Highland peat fires to dry their malted barley. The high cost of this procedure has meant that Ardmore is now the only Highland distillery that still routinely fully ‘peats’ its standard malt. Traditional methods also extend to the maturation. Casks for Ardmore's standard bottling for example, are double matured, first in the more usual oak barrels and then in much smaller ‘quarter casks’, delivering a unique integration of flavours. In common use in the 19th century, quarter casks have also become too costly for most distillers to employ today (The system has been used to spectacular success at Laphroaig).

Pierre Peters Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne

Champagne, FRANCE
Reduced from $150.00
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2020-2025)

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Pierre Peters is a benchmark grower Champagne based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, founded in 1929 by Camille Peters and today run by Rodolphe Peters, farming around 20 hectares of predominantly Chardonnay across Le Mesnil (the core), with additional holdings in Oger, Avize and Cramant, including the famed Les Chetillons parcel acquired in 1930. Viticulture is meticulous, with replanting based on the estate's own massal selections, while vinification is largely in stainless steel (reserve wines held in a mix of steel, large oak and concrete) with partial malolactic fermentation and an emphasis on extended lees ageing to build texture and depth. The range moves from the non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Cuvee de Reserve and vintage L'Esprit through to the single-vineyard Le Mesnil bottlings Les Chetillons and Les Montjolys, and concludes with premium multi-vintage cuvees such as Reserve Oubliee (from a perpetual blend dating back to 1988) and L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor, with the house's hallmark being pure, chalk-driven Cote des Blancs Chardonnay built for serious ageing.
Once the lacy white mousse dissipates it reveals a pale straw coloured base that has shades of gold to the edges. The bead is fine and profuse. Refined yeast lees, citrus and baked bread aromas are followed by light notions of oyster shell and cashew. Possessing good richness and fine airy feel, there’s a faint creaminess to the oily bread, yeast lees and citrus flavours which are backed by a subtle toastiness and some brioche. Finishes dry and finely textured with stimulating acidity and a long savoury aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews....
Based on the 2019 vintage (which Péters declares "the best of the decade") and disgorged this year, the NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée de Réserve bursts with aromas of crisp stone fruit, orange zest, freshly baked bread and beeswax. Medium-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline finish, it's animated by an attractive pinpoint mousse. Drink 2022 - 2032.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Sep 2022)
The NV Brut Cuvée de Réserve Grand Cru is fabulous. A Champagne of tension and energy, the Cuvée de Réserve has real presence, not to mention tons of class. Citrus, jasmine, mint and crushed rocks are some of the many nuances that race out of the glass. In this release, the Cuvée de Réserve has a light tropical quality that is both exotic and hugely appealing. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021. Drink 2021-2028.

Very fine bready lemon citrus aromas here; a restrained, fresh and attractively raw expression of chardonnay aromas. The palate unleashes more flamboyant fruit flavors, heading through citrus to nectarine and peach. The focus never wavers. Long, fine and pure.

JamesSuckling.com
Made up, half and half, of base wine from the sunny 2018 harvest, and reserve wine from Rodolphe’s Perpetual Reserve which goes back to 1988, this is one of the most consistently excellent NV wines on the market. Its current iteration is especially impressive, floral, chalky, upstanding, and very complex; the palate sharing notes of dried apricot, plum and lemon pith with more developed intimations of sour honey and patisserie. An exemplary wine with real purity and precision on the finish. Drink 2021 - 2024.

Simon Field MW - Decanter
This elegant Champagne is powered by intense acidity, wrapping its racy frame in a cloak fashioned from the plush and creamy mousse as it carries flavors of ripe mirabelle plum and fig fruit, chopped hazelnut and preserved lemon, with an underlying tang of salinity. The lingering finish echoes the ripe fruit and mineral character. Disgorged October 2020. Drink now through 2026.
