Tequila Cascahuin Tahona
$131.99
From the Producer
"Tequila Cascahuín traces its origins back to 1904, rooted in the traditions of tequila production processes. Today, it stands out for its authentic flavors and select quality, utilizing the finest agaves cultivated in the valleys.
The word "Cascahuín", the distinctive symbol of our company and the idea of its founder Salvador Rosales Briseño, comes from pre-Hispanic roots whose interpretation is "Hill of Light" or "Party on the Hill"
Jaboulet Domaine Ermitage Blanc
$119.99
Made entirely from Roussanne, this legendary vineyard has built its reputation on a single hill that it shares with Syrah plantings for the red Ermitage. Sheltered from northerly winds, this south-facing site receives good exposure to the sun while enjoying a Mediterranean climate. Roussanne is named after its ripe skin colour, a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word Roux (red-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhône Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found because it benefits from the warm temperatures and long sunlight hours it needs to achieve full maturity.
It is made entirely from estate-grown grapes, like all the wines produced by the estate. The average age of the vines is 40 years. Lush melon, pear and apricot notes are underscored by a buttery vanilla note from the French barriques, with a floral whiff of honeysuckle through the finish.

GrainHenge Elevator Row Whisky II
$109.99
The second release of GranHenge's Elevator Row New World Single Malt Whisky is bottled at 48.2% ABV after 6 years maturing in #2 and #4 char virgin oak casks. It is made from a mash bill containing 2 row barley malted to a Dark Munich style - the same malt spec that is used for Troubled Monk Distillery's Pesky Pig Pale Ale.
Producer Description
"Elevator Row’s flavour profile is informed from the malty backbone of our pale ale, Pesky Pig, named after the same little piggy that never went to market. This 43 month old, cask strength whisky lets the speciality malt of Pesky Pig rise to fame and shine. When head distiller, Garret Haynes, rewrote this recipe for distillation, he used Pesky Pig’s mash bill for inspiration, tripling the speciality dark munich malt so notes of golden raisin, and dried fruits would sing in the finished spirit."
