2011 Claxton's Warehouse No.8 Tobermory 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Isle of Mull, SCOTLAND
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 53.2%

It says Tobermory on the label, but it tastes closer to Ledaig, so medium- peat Tober', or a Ledaig without bristles? Time in an octave has slightly tamed the beast. Besides traces of lanolin, most of those earthy ‘dirty’ notes retreat; Sherry lingers with bittersweet fruit’n'nut chocolate. Like Ledaig, this ruffles up the tastebuds; Unwieldy and raucous, it's a whisky that never quite settles into rhythm or form. 69 bottles from an oloroso sherry octave. 53.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

Watt Whisky Peatsmoke on Gorgie 5 Year Old Cask Strength Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.1%

Marrying 42% 5 year old peated blended malt with 12 year old North British grain whisky has resulted in an enormous dessert-styled dram with the textural exuberance of a cask strength single malt. Sweet wood smoke melts into honey drizzled muesli, vanilla cream and dates as the mid palate gathers momentum becoming oily and mouth filling with flickering alcohol and a coastal tang bringing vibrancy to the finish. A bombshell that defies both its age and category. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 618 bottles produced.
Notes from the bottlers... Dry peat, soft sherry, distant smoke, toffee shortbread, ginger, custard and black cherries.

2023 Cobaw Ridge Original Block Pinot Noir

Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $105.00
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Diam Cork

Situated 610 meters above sea level and overseeing Central Victoria, the Cobaw Ridge vines thrive in the granite-rich mountain soil, working hard to produce well-balanced grapes. This unique site's challenges, combined with the Cooper's dedication to sustainable and natural practices, result in wines that truly reflect their origin and time. No additives, fining, filtration, or stabilization are applied, except for minimal sulphites before bottling.
Named after the original Pinot Noir vines planted in 1995 on the property, this wine is crafted from clones 114, 115, and MV6. It has a super-fine and delicate style with concentration and intensity, driven by red fruits with a touch of black. The wine features layers of spice and herbs, with only 5% whole bunch and 25% new oak in this vintage.
Alc. 12%
Other Reviews....
The Original naming refers to the 1995 plantings that first went in the ground at Cobaw Ridge but also aptly describes the Cooper family behind the vines.
As with many great wines, the more time spent with it, the more the journey is cinematic, which is particularly apt here. On opening, a seamless, svelte and lighter weight red with dark cherry, caraway seed, Aussie bush elements and white pepper dusted in. The more time open, the more big swirls, the build of savoury elements in hazelnut, garam masala spice, spearmint and amaro-like qualities. The texture opened up somewhat too, more expansive, a spread in the palate on guiding trails of gossamer. There are wines that deliver strict bounds of Olympic performance, precise and at the apex, and then those that build as an expressive performance. The latter here, and we’re better for it. Drink 2024 - 2033.

This unique site's challenges, combined with the Cooper's dedication to sustainable and natural practices, result in wines that truly reflect their origin and time.

This is the first standalone release from a vineyard planted in 2011, with a density of just under 7000 vines per hectare. It comprises various clones, including 777, Q390-02, Pommard, Able, 115, and MV6. In this vintage, 5% whole bunch and 35% new oak were used. It offers a richer expression compared to the 'Original Black,' emphasizing dark fruits like cherry and plum. The wine has a remarkable density complemented by a touch of spice and savory details. The palate showcases a delicate core with a smooth flow of fruits.
Alc. 12.4%
Other Reviews....
High fidelity, high density, high tension. All happening.
It’s a wine on the edge, and for personal preferences, that’s mostly where I want my wine to be. It keeps you alert, it keeps you seeking out more information. This wine is imbued with fine, elegant pinosity and shows off refined tannin profile and a sense of complexing minerality. The rub is that its a marginal site, a cool place that delivers a nervous freshness at times, and with that mint, Aussie bush/alpine elements that could irk some who approach this wine. I bet most who do know what they’re in for, know the quality potential inherent, and look for the distinct personality even in the more edgier years. Amongst all this, dark cherry, pitch perfect in freshness and bite, some sweet spice too. Just shy of medium weight. Very compelling. Drink 2024 - 2035.

Bushmills 25 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

County Antrim, IRELAND
$1699. 00
Bottle
$20388.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

An impressively old Bushmills that spent four years in bourbon and sherry casks before slumbering in an x-Port cask for twenty one years. Bottled at 46% without chill filtration, it will be Irish at its most decadent.
Other reviews... Spending 21 years in a first-fill ruby port cask has imbued this superb whiskey with firm, plump, and intense fruit flavors with layers of raspberry, black currant fruit pastilles, blackberry jelly, and peppercorn. Bushmills and port casks are a heavenly match, and this has a warm, enveloping fruitiness on the tongue, with raspberry, plum, cranberry sauce, a surge of clove and pepper, milk chocolate, and a dry finish. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com

Dutch Rules New World Dry Gin (700ml)

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 42%

The juniper-infused spirit known as gin has the Netherlands as its spiritual home. Later, England went on to popularise its own 'London Dry', traditionally based on less than a handful of botanicals (juniper, cardamom and coriander). However, the influence of Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other spice islands isn't commonly found, even in contemporary styles. Enter Dutch Gin, founded in 2022 in the Melbourne suburb of Mitcham. Here, botanicals like lemongrass, makrut leaves, chilli, thai basil and ginger are broadening the scope of what gins can taste like. Proprietor, Danny Perera employs a wheat-based spirit which brings a nice smooth mouthfeel to each expression. Step one is to load the still with distillate, then add juniper and dried botanicals to the pot. Once out of the still, the spirits are rested for a couple of weeks to maximise the flavour before diluting to a lower ABV followed by bottling and labelling. Shaken or stirred, Dutch Rules New World Dry gin offers juniper-forward flavours with a citrusy finish for a new everyday favourite. Great in a cocktail or simply with tonic. Other botanicals include pink peppercorn, coriander seed, jasmine, macadamia, green tea, cinnamon and lavender. 42% Alc./Vol.

Dutch Rules Thai Gin (700ml)

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Hospitality veteran, Danny Perera founded Dutch Rules Gin in 2022. Hailing from Sri Lanka, he wanted to share the influence trade routes from the Dutch East Indies and Spice Islands had on traditional European exports. This Mitcham-based distillery knows its way around a classic juniper-forward number as well as anyone. But it’s the magic that happens when they borrow flavours from South and South-East Asia that's won them a keen following; their Thai Gin, for example - a fragrant gin that is highly aromatic and alive with cardamom, coriander, lemongrass, ginger and makrut lime leaves. Add Thai basil, and just a little bit of spice, and you have one hell of a delicious gin! Perfect in a Lemongrass Collins – a refreshing dance between flavours that's all about Summer. 40% Alc./Vol.

Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

County Antrim, IRELAND
$3199. 00
Bottle
$38388.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

With an abundance of stock to draw from, Bushmill’s claims the distinction of being the only producer in Ireland capable of annually releasing ultra-rare, high-age statement expressions like this. Originally distilled in the early 1990s, the company began experimenting in the 2000s with re-casking its single malts to enhance the distillery character, although they didn’t have a specific series in mind for these experiments, until now. The venerable 30 year old was aged for 14 years in bourbon barrels and sherry butts before finishing in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for another 16 years. Pedro Ximénez (aka PX) is a dark sweet Sherry style that typically contributes rich dried fruit characteristics. Launched to mark the opening of the new Bushmills Causeway Distillery in 2023, this historical bottling is limited to 1500 bottles globally. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Collectable.
Other reviews... Distilled in 1992 and spent its last 16 years of maturation in first-fill PX sherry casks which give this whiskey a nose of dried strawberries, blueberries, raisins, and chocolate-covered toffees. There’s a sticky PX mouthfeel, with prune juice, morello cherry, dried fig, peppery spice, and clove, adding more pronounced prune flesh, dried vine fruits, vanilla essence, and citrus peel notes before a soothing finish of buttered fruitcake with a spicy kick. 91 points - whiskyadvocate.com

What’s great about the Canvas wines is that they're well made with an emphasis on drinkability. This joven style is jam-packed with exuberant red fruits, cherry-berry cola, sarsaparilla and those distinct woodsy spices, not from oak – just part of the variety’s DNA. It’s refreshing and vibrant, and the tannins are quite precise and a little textural. Loads of fun. Drink by 2028.

Dark red core with black shaded edges and a bright red hue. Alluring red to dark raspberry, cherry and red liquorice aromas infused with hints of dried clove and graphite sail through the nostrils followed by some peppered earth end notes.

Other Reviews…..
Of all the wines in the Yalumba Grenache collection, for me, this is the value pick. A cracking wine which is seriously good buying. The fruit comes from old bush vines which were planted in 1929 and 1949 in the Tri-Centenary Vineyard in Vine Vale. The two blocks were harvested for the wine, with the first seeing 40% whole bunch fermentation and the second 33%. A garnet/crimson colour, the nose is utterly gorgeous. This is Grenache on steroids. Strawberries and cream, florals, bergamot, spices and cherries. Take everything that is good about Grenache and it is jam-packed into this wine. It also offers that typical Grenache tannin mix of silky and sandy. Showing good balance and length, this is a superb example of a top-notch Barossa Grenache. Drink now and for the next eight years. Drink 2024-2032.

Elements of Islay Cask Edit Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

ABV: 46%

"...I’m having a hard time putting this bottle down and I would wager that you would as well." - dramface.com
Elements of Islay Cask Edit is part of the new core range trilogy alongside Sherry Cask and Bourbon Cask. It's a composition of refill, bourbon and sherry casks bottled at 46% for the perfect balance of drinkability and personality. Rich, smoky single malt from Islay’s south coast marries together with a fresher, fruitier style from the north. Sip and savour, or experiment in cocktails.
Other reviews... The 46% ABV strength is perfect for an easy-drinking but richly flavoured experience. The sherry casks are not over-bearing, providing some delicate nuances under these well-matured bourbon malts. I’m having a hard time putting this bottle down and I would wager that you would as well. If you like peated whiskies, and balanced ones at that, then this should be sitting on your shelf. I’m very much intrigued to get my hands on the Bourbon cask and Sherry cask releases from Elements of Islay now. Well played Elements of Islay team.... If this is priced below other Islay malts in your market, it’s a steal and get it on your shelf ASAP. If it’s in the same price range as Ardbeg 10, Port Charlotte 10, Ardbeg Corrie/Oogie/An Oa, then use your discretion. However, depending on your preferences, this blended malt can stand toe-to-toe with any of these single malts. - dramface.com

2022 Pyramid Valley Field of Fire Chardonnay

North Canterbury, NEW ZEALAND
$175. 00
Bottle
$2100.00 Dozen

Closure: Stelvin

Driven to create one of the new world’s great cool-climate vineyards, it took Mike and Claudia Weersing 15 years and a quixotic global journey that included a lengthy stopover in Burgundy before they found their perfect site. Inspired by the climate and soils of that region, the duo finally found their special place in the limestone-rich soils of Waikari in North Canterbury. From here Mike and Claudia established Pyramid Valley and emerged as NZ pioneers of both biodynamic practices and high-density viticulture. For almost 20 years they inspired and/or challenged all those who came into their orbit. Their minute scale and exceptional dedication to their soils and vines led to some incredible wines being produced. First visiting the vineyard in 2007, Steve Smith MW (then of Craggy Range) was one of many affected by what he describes as one the most compelling and unique vineyards he has ever visited. When Mike’s health went into decline, the Weersings were forced to sell and Smith and his partner Brian Sheth acquired the estate in late 2017. The spectre of Burgundy is writ large over the foundation and ethos of Pyramid Valley, yet we should not expect imitations in terms of the style of the wines. Rather they have their own very distinctive style and energy, and this is precisely as it should be with terroir-driven wines; uniqueness is the point.
Named after the type of grass growing in the vineyard, this densely planted Chardonnay site sits on a southeast-facing, clay-limestone slope, which has been farmed biodynamically from the beginning. Although recently expanded by one hectare, the original plantings cover only a quarter of a hectare. Like its three sibling vineyards, it’s a vineyard farmed to Grand Cru Burgundy standards or higher. Fire is a cooler, rockier site than the Lions Tooth vineyard, and the wine typically shows a tighter, mineral core cloaked by layered, complex and fleshy fruit.
Other reviews...
If the Field of Fire were a person, it wouldn't suffer fools gladly. The 2022 Chardonnay is a concentrated, direct and firm wine that knows where it's going and does so with a firm grip on your mouth. Focused, full of drive, it has sinew and sapidity. It is richly fruited - reminiscent of apricots alongside juicy lemon as well as toasted pine nuts, oats and flint. However, its quality is not in its flavors but its texture and power. Where I'm from, we say, 'Shy brains got nowt' and this isn't shy. Drink: 2025 - 2035.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous
Expansive, succulent white of depth and concentration with pretty lift and complexity from jasmine florals, warm straw, hazelnut and button mushroom savouriness amongst the mandarin, ginger, lime, green apple going on. The supple flow stretches luxuriously through the palate and finishes with a light, building chalky pucker. It’s such a chilled out white, but so much is going on. And gosh it drinks beautifully.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
From a scant 0.3ha southeast-facing high-density planting of chardonnay on limestone/clay soils of the home estate. Wonderfully detailed white peach and citrus fruit with wisps of struck flint, soft spice, clotted cream, oyster shell, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers and crushed stone. Plenty of depth and flow on the palate but there's a real sense of sapidity and mouth-watering mineral drive, finishing chalky and uber pure.

Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion
Light-mid yellow colour; complex bouquet with smoky struck-flint overlying beeswax, buttery croissant and stone fruits. The wine is refined and subtle, intense and light on its feet and yet has a core of richness enlivened by refreshing acidity that helps draw the finish out to great length. An outstanding, high-energy chardonnay of great finesse.

Driven to create one of the new world’s great cool-climate vineyards, it took Mike and Claudia Weersing 15 years and a quixotic global journey that included a lengthy stopover in Burgundy before they found their perfect site. Inspired by the climate and soils of that region, the duo finally found their special place in the limestone-rich soils of Waikari in North Canterbury. From here Mike and Claudia established Pyramid Valley and emerged as NZ pioneers of both biodynamic practices and high-density viticulture. For almost 20 years they inspired and/or challenged all those who came into their orbit. Their minute scale and exceptional dedication to their soils and vines led to some incredible wines being produced. First visiting the vineyard in 2007, Steve Smith MW (then of Craggy Range) was one of many affected by what he describes as one the most compelling and unique vineyards he has ever visited. When Mike’s health went into decline, the Weersings were forced to sell and Smith and his partner Brian Sheth acquired the estate in late 2017. The spectre of Burgundy is writ large over the foundation and ethos of Pyramid Valley, yet we should not expect imitations in terms of the style of the wines. Rather they have their own very distinctive style and energy, and this is precisely as it should be with terroir-driven wines; uniqueness is the point.
Both of Pyramid Valley’s Pinot Noir vineyards are densely planted on clay/limestone slopes. Earth Smoke sits on the richer soils of the two: an expansive, east-facing slope with strong, beautifully structured soils that are comparatively high in limestone. The name here comes from the nickname given to fumitory, a plant of the poppy family that can be found thriving in this 0.85-hectare plot. Although both wines share a familial DNA, the later-picked Earth Smoke is typically the more structured and darker of the two, with more fruit weight to go with its tender, fine tannins.
Other reviews...
Having made no Earth Smoke in 2021 due to spring frosts and cool flowering ravaging the yield, it's a welcome return in 2022. Translucent, pure and delicately textured, this Pinot Noir shows a fine hand and the confidence to be hands off. The wine is calm; in the mouth, it gives the impression that a hush has descended. It is attractively scented - full of dried herbs, cherry, festive spice, violets and a hint of smoke. There's plentiful concentration without weight. The tannins are pliant, providing the finest coating for your palate. Drink : 2025 - 2033.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous
A crispness, a pulse of tart cherry, a crunch of cranberry, some nougat licks and woody spice with sappy pomegranate juice, a touch of hazelnut paste with bergamot tea, sage leaf and dried rosemary amongst the mix of characters here. It’s got volume of intense, granitic minerality and a grumbling swish of pumice-like, almost Italianate texture to tannins amongst the vibrancy of fruit character.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
Sourced from a 0.8ha block of biodynamically farmed pinot noir on the Pyramid Valley Waikari estate. A beautiful, complex-smelling wine with brooding dark plum and cherry fruits, cut with spice, blood orange, amaro herbs, raked leaves, pressed wildflowers, twiggy nuance and crushed stone. So calm and composed on the palate with a sapid calcareous cadence, fine, chalky tannin grip and a long, gamey retreat.

Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion
Closed at first but soon opens up with an opulently perfumed nose, layered red/black fruits, florals and spice; a lot of earth and vinosity here, too. Hard to tease it all apart, both on nose and palate. Textural and compact with wonderfully integrated fruit/oak tannins and a spine of bright acidity. Clearly built for the long haul while offering a lot of joy already. Biodynamic. Drink: 2024 - 2032.

Angel Flower is a cooler, more exposed block than Earth Smoke. The shallow soils and north-facing aspect here result in a more floral and aromatic wine, although the weight and shape of the palate have much in common with Pyramid’s other single-site Pinot. The team have also recently planted a little Chardonnay on these soils, recognising its potential as a great white wine terroir.
Other reviews...
It feels open weave and pretty with rose hip tea, alpine herbal elements, faint game meat, undergrowth and toasty spice strewn around the place. It slips into every corner of the palate, an attractive, sour-sweet flow of tart cherry dressed up with those savoury elements all sheathed in a web of ultra fine, silty, lacy tannin. It finishes with black tea and truffle and a building, drying, refreshing pucker. Fine, elegant, vibrant and energetic. A triumph for the variety.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
From a 0.7ha limestone/clay, north-facing, biodynamically farmed slice of the Pyramid Valley estate in Waikari. A beautifully perfumed, ethereal wine that shows delicate redcurrant, red cherry and raspberry fruits with hints of crushed stone, red flowers, blood orange, clover blossom, sous bois and red apple pastries. There is a lot of light in this wine, all detail and shimmering clarity with a spacious mouthfeel, sapidity to burn and the most graceful of exits. Beautiful drinking.

Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion
Nose a little shy at first, then lots of perfumed red fruit emerges - tamarillo and plum, a dash of spice, a lift of blue flowers. The delicate, dancing palate has a surprising intensity of ripe, flowing red fruits, lovely fine, chalky tannins and bright, saline/minerally acidity. Very good length. This is smartly made, with no rough edges but isn’t overly polished. Drink: 2024 - 2032.

Rather they have their own very distinctive style and energy, and this is precisely as it should be with terroir-driven wines; uniqueness is the point.
In 2018, Pyramid Valley became a two-property estate when it purchased the Manata vineyard in Central Otago’s Lowburn sub-region. The team quickly applied their precise viticultural standards to what was already considered one of the greatest sites in the region. In just three years, Paulin and his team have doubled the organic matter in the soil and achieved organic certification through BioGro NZ. They also immediately recognised the potential of the block they now call Snake’s Tongue—a nod to one of the many common names used for blue borage: Viper’s (snake’s) bugloss (ox-tongue). Fermented in an open-top concrete tulip, with 25% whole bunches and as much whole berry as possible, the wine matured in 25% new 500-litre puncheons for 12 months, followed by a further six months in neutral oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Other reviews...
It’s a fleshy, deeply flavoured pinot noir with an elegant bent under its more muscular frame. Dark choc-raspberry, liquorice, cranberry, aniseed, some garam masala spice elements, a bit of warm game meat and some rosy, rose hip tea elements. The wine quite grippy and drying in tannin, a little new leather-meets-river-pebble feel here. Bold and savoury hand-in-hand, though the dryer frame may challenge some for expectations.

Lowburn Terrace pinot noir from the Mānatu vineyard. Mid-crimson with red plum and dark cherry fruits cut with spice, citrus blossom, dried orange peel, amaro herbs, pressed wildflowers and crushed rocks. Sleek, savoury and red-fruited on the palate with layers of fine spice and some distant game and amaro tones; tannins super-fine and chalky and a bright, minerally cadence.

Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion
The 2022 Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir won't be released until October 2024, so this is definitely a pre-release tasting, but it’s a wonderful insight into what is to come. There’s petrichor, asphalt, graphite, black tea, satsuma plum, cherry flesh and red apple skins. This has the tannic density of the 2021, but there is far more restraint and delicacy in the fruit profile. I love the way this performs in the mouth, with dried ginger, blood orange, red pepper, a hint of sesame seed and orchard fruit. A superb wine of presence and delicacy. Drink: 2024 - 2036.

The GlenAllachie Meikle Tòir The Chinquapin One 5 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 48%

"A totally non-coastal peat, it's a welcome variation for us." - whiskyfun.com
The second in the Meikle Toir series gets some of its complexity from casks made of Chinquapin oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii) sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. A subspecies of Quercus Alba, Chinquapin delivers spicy flavours and aromas, so it's probably closer to French oak than American oak when it comes to flavour influence. Or, as The GlenAllachie's Warehouse Manager Lindsay Cormie explains, "The Chinquapin cask itself has the aroma of old leather and cigar smoke, which works wonderfully well with the sweetness derived from the Bourbon casks – the combination of both casks complements our beautifully sweet peat character."
Other reviews... That's right, Glenallachie's own peater, in this case peated to 35ppm peat IN THE DISTILLATE (I've heard). This is how you should pronounce it: 'Mee-Kuhl Tor', Sounds like the name of a Norwegian doom-hard-black-metal band, does it not. Colour: gold. Nose: very modern, very cool, with lots of bacon, sauna oils, and new rubber. It's almost like visiting a car dealership with all these new tyres and all the spent motor oil gathered in the trays. There are many Speyside distilleries that have recently tried peat, including some previously managed by Billy Waller (Benriach), and most have achieved slightly average results in my opinion. That is not the case here, I really like this very... automotive profile. Cars and bacon, nice combination! Mouth: in keeping with this, but with new flavours like burnt lemon tart and worn-out dragster tyre. It's really quite fun; it's far from the first 'Chinkapin oak' from Glenmorangie, do you remember it? A totally non-coastal peat, it's a welcome variation for us. Finish: long and more lemony and spicy, that's the American barrel responding to the peat. Comments: It's a bit like the Fight Club, but indeed, it's fun. I think we're going to stop before we see who won, we don't have all night (nor a good litre of this crazy Meikle Toir) ahead of us. 89 points - whiskyfun.com
... Smooth, soft, and a little bit of fruit, crisp malt, smoky sawdust, iodine and liquorice, cashew nut butter, bonfire, freshly rolled tobacco, charred lemons, wood fired oven bread. Despite being slightly confused about how similar this sounded to the original, there are some really distinct notes, and this has a good value in the lineup. - malt-review.com

$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

Meikle Tòir (pronounced MEE-kuhl tor) is The GlenAllachie’s peated project. The peating levels (PPMs) are pretty high and were taken from the mature 5-year-old whisky. The Original comes matured in 1st Fill Bourbon, Rye and American virgin oak casks, with a spirit PPM level of 35ppm (that's close to something like Lagavulin or Ardbeg). Notably, these whiskies employ mainland peat from St. Fergus (like Ardmore), a flavour which is generally sweeter than that of coastal peat. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Warming buttery peat, malt drink, coconut Laska, salted caramel cream, a little zest, oily texture, shortbread rounds with smoked sugar rim, green apple skin good cigar smoke with a good lick of salt. Very tasty, a good alternative to Caol Ila now the prices are going daft. Very competent whisky at a fair price. - malt-review.com
...There’s a sweetness to The Original that works well with the rather elegant peat. It might just be the combination of long fermentations and Walker’s wood wizardry that elevates this to a more mature level than many other young peaters. - wordsofwhisky.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Baking spices, burnt honey and espresso, with hazelnuts, smoked almonds and butterscotch. Taste: Sweet peat, rich chocolate and heather honey, with cinnamon, ginger and oak-smoked sugar.

1800 Cristalino 100% Agave Anejo Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 35%

Matured in French and American oak barrels, finished in x-port casks, then charcoal filtered to restore its clear appearance, 1800's Cristalino falls somewhere between an Anejo and a Blanco. Bottling at just 35% ABV makes for a featherweight tequila, smooth and accessible with a delicacy and lightness that approaches vodka. Warming peppers and a low-definition waxy-agave character shine through the finish. Use it as a shooter or in Summer cocktails.
Other reviews... Clear color. Aromas and flavors of apple cider vinegar, brown butter, pastry dough, and toasted sesame with a round, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish with impressions of tart green apple, sweet cream, lemon curd, almond cookie, and fresh cut grass. A light, citrusy Cristalino Tequila to be enjoyed in the sun. 92 points - tastings.com

Morris Rutherglen 36 South Australian Whisky (700ml)

Rutherglen, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Morris enter the massive blended whisky market with an Australian take. Crafted in the famous Rutherglen wine region and matured in the family's x-red wine casks, it employs both malted barley and wheat in the mashbill. Clearly designed for approachability, from the malty nose to the medium-bodied 'blend feel', this bridges a gap between entry level bourbon and single malt, kissing the mouth with a soft lick of vanillan oak, lighter grains playing second fiddle while a delicate peachy fruitiness rounds out with balancing spices. Enjoyed over ice it's a success, but it flattens out with minimal dilution. At the asking price, well worth considering over big brand Scottish blends. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Morris's new blended whisky is one of the least expensive on the Australian market, priced to compete with domestic blends. There’s good grain density on the nose with none of that vodka-like smell apparent in some inexpensive blends, showing good cask influence and excellent integration backed up by nice fruit and a whiff of rubbery smoke. Easy-drinking on the palate but still with plenty of grip, this is absolutely interesting enough to sip on. But in a mixed drink, this whisky would shine, pairing perfectly with dry ginger ale or cola for an Aussie answer to Johnny Double Black. It's wonderful to see more whiskies like this on the market that can challenge imported brands and keep those dollars local. 88 points - Fred Siggins, James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Notes from the producers... Nose: Aromas of toffee, vanilla, and oak, with subtle notes of dried fruit and spice. Palate: Smooth and creamy, featuring a blend of caramel, oak, and soft orchard fruit flavors with a hint of spice. Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering notes of sweet vanilla and toasted oak.

Whiskey Hunt Australia's debut with Woodford Reserve comes courtesy of the distillery's owners, Brown Forman. Guided by Woodford's Brand Ambassador, Andy Tsai, in December 2023 the group were invited to choose from three Woodford select profiles. Unlike most WHA releases which have been single cask picks, the Woodford Personal Selection Program asks customers to preference a bourbon that matches their palate, typically based on three distinct distillery 'profiles'. Jack Daniels (also owned by Brown Forman) have a similar approach. No.2 was judged the winner, showcasing aromas of oak shavings, cherry-dark-chocolate and dried peach, complemented by medium bodied flavours of burnt caramel, subtle smoke, orange spice cake and drying oak. True to the Woodford house style, the whiskey was distilled from a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley with 180 one-litre bottles imported to Australia. 45.2% Alc./Vol.

ABV: 12.7%

Closure: Diam Cork

The Stellenbosch wine region in South Africa's Western Cape is renowned for its diverse terroir, featuring ancient granite and shale soils that provide a strong foundation for viticulture. Its Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and cooling breezes from False Bay, helps moderate temperatures and preserve grape acidity. This unique combination of soils and climate enables Stellenbosch to produce high-quality wines known for their depth and elegance. Dedicated to the region, the Cravens focus exclusively on single-vineyard wines from Stellenbosch, working closely with growers to craft wines that reflect their unique origins and sense of place.
In 2015 the Cravens discovered a beautiful bush vine Chenin Blanc vineyard in the Polkadraai Hills, previously farmed for sweet wine production. With some care, the block was transformed for dry wine production.. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed to a concrete tank for natural fermentation and malolactic conversion. The wine rests on lees for four months before its first racking, spending a total of nine months in concrete before bottling.

The 2023 Chenin Blanc comes from a parcel next to Reyneke in the Karibib Vineyard and was aged entirely in concrete. This has a more complex and vibrant nose than the Chardonnay, revealing yellow fruit mixed with a nutty, slightly smoky scent. The palate is very well balanced with a citrus-fresh entry and a very subtle flor-like finish that comes through more clearly on the aftertaste. Superb. Drink 2024 - 2032.

In the cellar, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight, and transferred to neutral 500L French oak barrels for fermentation and malolactic fermentation. After seven months of aging, the wine was racked and bottled.

Craven is one of the most interesting wine projects in South Africa - Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak, April 2017
Other Reviews....
Matured for seven months in older 500-litre barrels. Lemon and blossom on the nose. The palate is harmonious with good fruit concentration and bright acidity before a savoury finish. Hardly showy but not quite as stripped down as some vintages – just the right amount of creamy texture.

Poli Marconi Vaca Mora Amaro Veneto (700ml)

Veneto, ITALY
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 32%

One of the finest Amaros to hit the market in recent years, Poli's Vaca Mora is a tribute to the region's original steam train - the Vaca Mora, or Black Cow - which started to make regular trips to Schiavon in the late 1800s. Stopping in front of GioBatta Poli's tavern, the 'Osteria Al Cappello', waiting passengers could tipple at a glass of wine or local bitters prepared from an infusion of herbs, fruit peels and roots. Poli's distillery took over the tavern premises in 1898, completing the association. The contemporary sienna-brown elixir is based on plants, herbs and flowers with digestive properties, however, unlike most Amaros, it tastes properly bitter with minimal sugar intruding on the freshness. Garden herbs, especially mint leaves feature, the sweet, silky entry giving way to earthy root-like notes, then more mint and herbal character before bitter peel, gentian and cinchona grip the palate. Simple soda works beautifully, making for a fabulous refresher. As for cocktails, we'd expect a little should go a long way. While there's considerable diversity in this category, from the citrus accents of Armacardo or the sweetness of Averna, this expression is closer to Alpine Amaros like Braulio. It should satisfy those looking for a digestif with pitch-perfect bittersweet balance and maximum freshness. 32% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... a wooden box full of officinal herbs and mint leaves...balmy like a herbal shop.

2023 Domaine Christian Moreau Petit Chablis

Chablis, FRANCE
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Christian Moreau is one of the most respected names in Chablis blessed with magnificent vineyard holdings in the best areas of Chablis. The highlights are undoubtedly the amazing range of Grand cru vineyards including one single holding of approximately 3 hectares in Les Clos as well as 0.41 hectares of Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos plus slightly smaller holdings in Valmur, Blanchots and Vaudesir. The wines are gaining in even clearer expression with the vineyards having been certified organic since 2013 and together with some new tanks and other investments the results are showing clearly in the wines with each vintage. These are wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance that will age classically while enabling tremendous enjoyment throughout their lives.
The Petit Chablis vines are located at the top of the hill of Grand Crus only metres from the Grand cru Valmur, with another very small 0.4 hectare planting also at the crest of the hill of Grand Crus (just above Vaudesir) that the Moreau family have planted more recently.
