Baileys Irish Cream 50ml
$5.39
A classic warm-up on a cold day, during the Calgary Stampede or for use in specialty drinks. Baileys Irish Cream was created by Gilbeys of Ireland as it searched for something tasty and sweet to introduce to the international market. Baileys became a hit almost instantly, when it was introduced in 1974 as the world's first Irish Cream. Despite attributions to Andrew Bailey of the R.A. Bailey Company, no such person existed. The choice of the name Bailey was based on branding. Enjoy this sweet, creamy drink in coffee, in hot chocolate or simply by itself. Great for camping or cold winter nights!

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat.
Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather-honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.
Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.
Glenkinchie 12 Year
$88.19
Glenkinchie has long been known as "The Edinburgh Malt", though that looks set to change in very short order, as the Holyrood Distillery comes online in the heart of Scotland's capital. But nicknames aside, Glenkinchie really should need little in the way of introduction. It has become one of the foremost examples of what we consider the 'typical' Lowlands style: light, floral, elegant.

Pilsner Urquell 500 ml Cans
$4.49
Pilsner Urquell is called the "model of meter" among beers. All other pilsners are a better or worse attempt to copy the original - the first ever Pilsner Urquell. Its unparalleled exceptionality is guaranteed by the same recipe dating from 1842. Yellow-gold in colour with a decent head and lace. Some floral hops in the aroma. Taste of the hops and a nice malt flavour.
Rockford Grenache Mataro Shiraz
$63.74
A soft, spicy blend that captures the rustic heartbeat of the Barossa. Moppa Springs is a place where green vines grow on one side of the fence and ripened wheat on the other. This country can be tough on grapes and vines but in this case, the Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro give their best.
Campari Milano
$35.09
Campari is a type of bitters made by infusing alcohol with bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit including chonotto. Campari is an essential to the classic Negroni, the Garibaldi and also the Americano. Campari was invented by Gaspare Campari between 1862 and 1867. It was originally colored with carmine dye, derived from crushed cochineal insects, which gave the drink its distinctive red hue.
Glenmorangie 18 Year The Infinita
$176.24
Elegantly packaged in a cognac like bottle the whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke. Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon."
Bombay Sapphire
$33.29
Although the brand hints a gin's heyday at the height of the British Raj in India, the brand only dates from 1987. Its name was chosen through a competitive process which pitted Madison Avenue ad firms against each other. Botanicals include: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. The spirit is triple-distilled using a carterhead still. Bombay is a more floral and soft gin that the "punchier" ones distilled in copper pot stills.
