Courvoisier VSOP
$56.99
One of the world's greatest and best-known Cognacs! Courvoisier was created in the early 1800s by two friends and businessmen who started as traders for the best Cognacs in the region, and then decided to create their own. (Emmanuel Courvoisier was one of those men.) As it has been since the early 1800s, Courvoisier is made in the town of Jarnac, in Charente, France. It was the favourite Cognac of Napoleon Bonaparte - in fact, the place where Courvoisier is made has a museum about Cognac, which also holds a few Napoleon momentos, including a lock of his hair, a hat and coat.
Glenlivet 12 Year
$54.99
Located within the most famous mountain glen distilling region in Scotland, only one distillery is permitted to call itself The Glenlivet. The first to be legalized after a period of illicit distillation, it now has an international reputation as a whisky of structure and complexity. The mountain setting provides cool weather distillers love, resulting in a clean, light, flowery, elegant malt.
anCnoc 12 Year Knockdhu
$69.99
anCnoc is Scottish Gaelic for 'the hill', which, in English is rendered 'Knockdhu' and should not be confused with the other distillery 'Knockando'. The brand decided to market itself under the label anCnoc to avoid confusion. Knockdhu is located in the Eastern Highlands not far from the town of Keith. The whisky has in recent years been marketed heavily as a single malt, though for most of its life it has been primarily produced for blends like Haig. 40%
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
$24.99
Clean, crisp and wildly popular, from one of Italy's best-known Pinot Grigio producers. Santa Margherita comes from the Trentino-Alto Adige where, as the legend goes, the US importer Tony Terlato tried 18 different bottlings before finding the one that would win him a devoted following and a small measure of fame. The rest is the stuff of wine drinking legend. This dry white wine has delicious aromas of pears and apples, which lead to a tangy taste. Ideal with fish dishes (a seafood salad, perhaps), roast chicken, or just casual sipping.
Absolut Vodka
$34.99
Absolut Vodka was first launched in New York in 1979. It soon became the talk of the town, the US and eventually the world. But the recipe behind the pure and natural taste is actually older than 30 years, and so is the 18th century medicine flask found in an antique store in Stockholm, which gave inspiration to the iconic bottle. Made exclusively from natural ingredients, it doesn't contain any added sugar. Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. Enjoy with tonic and a splash of lime over ice.
St Remy VSOP Brandy 375ml
$17.99
A very affordable style of French brandy, from a well-known producer! St. Remy is a French Brandy (not technically cognac as cognac may only be made from grapes and distilled in the Cognac region.) Matured in small oak barrels, it has notes of cherries and raspberries with touches of vanilla and oak. Suave and well balanced - and what a great price!
Cragganmore 12 Year
$101.99
The Cragganmore Distillery, founded 1869-70, is located on a picturesque hollow high above the River Spey. Its water, from nearby springs, is relatively hard which may contribute to its unique and complex flavor. Typically finished in sherry casks, this version is slightly creamy and smoky with hints of spice and a fine balance between sweetness and peatiness.
Lagavulin 16 Year
$164.99
Lagavulin might well be the most iconic of Islay malts. And the distillery, which celebrated its bicentennial in 2016, is unquestionably one of the most beloved of all Scotch malt producers. Up until the launch of the much-lauded 8 year old in 2016, the 16 year old was the distillery’s entry level expression. In spite of the new arrival, however, the 16 remains the flagship expression in the range, and for good reason. A cornerstone in any whisky collection. 90pts Serge @WhiskyFun
Gonzales Bypass Tio Pepe Fino Sherry
$24.99
More than just your Grandma's drink! Sherry is worth checking out if you want to know more about wine and if you're looking for a taste adventure. Try it with stuffed vine leaves, grilled calamari, mixed olives and tomatoey tapas dishes.
