The fruit here is sourced from the twelve-hectare Vine Vale Vineyard, which was planted in 1960. Grapes are destemmed and after fermentation, spend a year and a half in French oak barrels for maturation. Dark maroon in hue, aromas of spices, herbs, cloves, soy, aniseed, blackberries, bay leaves and cranberries are all evident. Plush and generous, there are abundant tannins, which are fine and furry. Acidity runs the length. This is bright, fresh and that intensity never wavers. A thoroughly enjoyable Barossa Shiraz. Enjoy this over the next ten to twelve years. Drink 2026-2038.

2023 Oakridge Vineyard Series Hazeldene Pinot NoirYarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA$36. 99Bottle$443.88 DozenCellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2026-2034)ABV: 13.2%Closure: StelvinExpansive, powerful and silky textured, this moreish Yarra Valley Pinot is an absolute steal when compared to it’s Burgundian counterparts.

Expansive and powerful, moreish red to dark cherry, strawberry, rhubarb and anise flavours glide across the palate with a silken feel. Underlying notions of forest floor, bramble, dried herbs and delicate spicy cedar complete the sophisticated flavour profile. Perfectly integrated, velvet smooth tannins.

Drink over the next 6-8 years.

From '98 plantings of MV6 at Gladysdale. The fact that this was The James Halliday Wine of Show at last year's Yarra Valley Wine Show, beating the Hazeldene Chardonnay in the process, says it all. Perfumed and captivating aromas of red fruits, dark rose and a little whole-bunched-derived sous bois. Medium bodied, this silky-textured wine finishes with just the right amount of understated and persistent tannins. Irresistible now and, I'd imagine, over the next six to eight years plus. Drink by 2032.

It's all because they make different styles of malts, grains and blends with names such as Inchfad, Rhosdhu, Craiglodge, Inchmoan, or indeed Inchmurrin and Croftengea. When well selected, the latter beats quite a few peaters from Scotland’s mainland. And some from the islands too! This edition from Single Cask Nation comes with a considerable age statement. 284 bottles were decanted from a second fill Bourbon hogshead. 50.6% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... A gentle hint of fruitiness caresses the senses, while the tempting notes of vanilla and wood extend a warm invitation. Rose petals dance lightly in the background, accompanied by a seductive spice. The dram makes me curious. A hint of fruit gum juice gives the nose a playful note and brings back memories of summer days. The first sip is a gentle introduction to a world full of flavors. Delicate pepper notes dance on the tongue, accompanied by the subtle bitterness of peach peel, which encloses a subtle sweetness. The complexity continues to unfold with a fine chili spiciness in the finish. The addition of water reveals a new dimension to this whisky. The pepper becomes more intense, while the sweetness recedes significantly, giving way to a hint of tart fruit peel or grape seeds. It is a journey full of contrasts that underlines the complexity of this unique wine and takes the senses to a new level. - whiskybase.com

Other Reviews……Made from fruit sourced from the Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast and Portarlington. 10% whole bunches and 15% new oak. A really bright crimson ruby. With its aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and some whole-bunch–derived pepper and spice, there's a lot going on in this well-put-together and attractively priced wine. The palate is medium bodied, energetic and supple. And while it's already a treat to drink now, there's upside in that it will be even better one to two years from now. Drink by 2030.

It actually spent its last 75 months in 1st fill bourbon, which certainly qualifies as ‘maturation,’ doesn’t it? By the way, Stenness is a stunning alignment of standing stones, located far west of Kirkwall. Colour: gold. Nose: gentler, more composed, and more urbane than many others, yet the barley DNA is unmistakable. Fresh brioche, bread, beer, perhaps a few lentils, and touches of mashed potatoes (50% potatoes, 50% butter, 20% olive oil, naturally). With water: smoke comes to the fore, alongside slag and ashes. Mouth (neat): absolutely beautiful—assertive, lemony, and peppery, with a powerful punch that borders on violent due to all the pepper, but citrus fruits step in masterfully to restore balance. With water: ash and lemon take charge, resolving everything. Finish: long, with even more smoky, salty lemon. Comments: there’s a faint Islay-like character in this Highland Park, but that’s not unheard of. Truly excellent.

2014 Single Cask Nation Westland 11 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt American Whisky (700ml)Washington State, UNITED STATES$220. 00Bottle$2640.00 DozenABV: 49.8%Founded in 2011, independent bottlers Single Cask Nation are based in the United States, so you'd expect more than a few American whiskeys to appear in their portfolio. Here's an interesting one from the latest shipment. Set in the heart of downtown Seattle, Westland is one of the largest (if not the largest) single malt distillery in the country. The facility itself is home to a 5,000-litre mash house that operates full-time, seven days a week filling 10,000-litre fermenters. The stills perform a traditional double distillation before the spirit is goes into a variety of full-size oak casks including two types of new American oak, ex-bourbon casks and also ex-sherry casks imported fresh and whole from Montilla, Spain. Once filled, all of the distillery's whiskeys are brought to the coast of Washington State, where the temperate and humid climate of the rainforest offers an ideal environment for maturation. The outturn here was 198 bottles after four years and eight months finishing in a first fill Banyuls barrique. Expect notes of caramel, dried fruit, chocolate and oak. 49.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
![1986 Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac (700ml)]()
1986 Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac (700ml)Armagnac, FRANCE$320. 00Bottle$3840.00 DozenABV: 40%Château de Laubade's remaining stocks run through the decades, in this case, all the way back to 1986. The house was built in 1870 in the heart of the noblest area of the AOC Bas Armagnac and is today considered by many as the premier Armagnac property composed of 105 hectares of vineyards. Four traditional grape varieties: Ugni-Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco (the most emblematic) are grown via sustainable agriculture.
Because they're prominently labelled with the year of production, Vintage Armagnacs have become hugely popular as gifts whereby birthdays and anniversaries can be marked by a singular bottle - a way to turn back the clock via a liquid time capsule, rekindle memories and reflect. If you're lucky enough to secure a Vintage Armagnac but aren't ready to open it, store it upright so the alcohol doesn't attack the cork, in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, there's no hurry to finish it. These spirits don't oxidise quickly like a wine or Vintage Port, but they are best consumed within a few years, as recommended by the BNIA (Bureau National Interprofessionnel de l’Armagnac). This edition was bottled in October 2025. 40% Alc./Vol.

Kinglake Distillery Breakfast Rye Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)Victoria, AUSTRALIA$134. 99Bottle$1619.88 DozenABV: 46%Aged in organic rye casks from Michigan, this whisky takes Kinglake's distinctive, mountain-born single malt and pushes it into brighter, zestier territory. The rye drives a lively sweetness—spicy honeycomb, sharp citrus, baked apple still warm from the oven—before tapering out into a soft crackle of pepper across the finish.
It’s a release designed to shift expectations a little, to give loyal followers something new to smile about, and to offer first-time discoverers a glimpse of the creativity the distillery enjoys. 46% Alc./Vol.

They loved it, not just for its rich & fruity, even honied character, but because it was so consistent and reliable.
As of late, most official bottlings are out of sherry casks. This edition breaks with that trend having been matured in new charred oak, followed by a two and a half year spell in a refill oloroso hogshead. The result offers bright and exotic polished wood aromas that invite you into the glass with promises of rich dates and sweet cinnamon. The palate is nutty with dark chocolate, drying towards the tip of the tongue leaving a touch of velvety mocha. 240 bottles produced. 59.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
![Kinglake Distillery Double Wood Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)]()
Kinglake Distillery Double Wood Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)Victoria, AUSTRALIA$134. 99Bottle$1619.88 DozenABV: 46.1%Most Australian whisky distilleries focus on ex-fortified or wine-barrel ageing, however Kinglake made it their early ambition to become Australia’s ex-bourbon single malt specialist. They produce one of the most distinctive new-make spirits and aim for cask influence to balance this rather than being the star of show. American oak is best suited for this. That said they've also had some incredible results with fortified barrels. These have now come to an end, leading to a new member of the core line, the Double Wood. The first barrels were filled back in 2018: Three gorgeous old Portuguese tawny port barriques. Their size has given the spirit an elegant French oak complexity with just a very subtle fortified richness. Married with the first larger format ex-bourbon barrels, it ensures that whilst the toffee’s, vanillas and caramels which Kinglake whisky is known for are still very much keynotes, the French oak complexity adds another level of detail.
Notes from the producers... Ex-bourbon toffee’s, vanillas and caramels overlaid with a delicate French oak complexity. Just a hint of smoke and milk chocolate from our four grain mashbill. Our wide-cuts approach to the second distillation, as always, adds soft tobacco and leather and a ‘come-back-for-more’ chewy mouthfeel and viscosity.
