Gran Orendain Anejo
$134.99
Marcela Orendain Gonzalez is the sister of Eduardo and Jamie of Arette. Marcela does things a little differently in her distillery Casa Mexicana. Gran Orendain is triple distilled, making for a light, delicate, and drier spirit of high quality. The French oak used for maturation is different than the typical ex-bourbon in that it gives a more mild and spicy profile with earthy hints and allows the spirit itself to show off.
Lagrimas De Dolores Joven
$104.99
This is another line of single varietal Mezcals, though this one from Durango. Not a ton of Information is out there about the Mezquital varietal (aside from that it’s viable from the ages of about 9 to 13 years) so we let the bottle speak for itself. Dry with a moderate smokiness, but an essence of agave penetrates through it all. Hints of honey and minerality come through towards the finish
Cenizo Colonial Temohaya
$82.99
Cenizo Colonial is a line of single village Mezcals from the state of Durango. This Cenizo spirit is from the village of San Miguel Temoaya. The machete crushed agave is wild fermented and distilled in unique “Filipino-style” stills. More unique still is the aromas on this bottle. Sweat, light smoke and hints of reptile aquarium with a dry, earthy palate with light tropical fruit and floral notes.
Lapalus Macon Pierre Clos Gamay
$28.99
"Fourth generation independent winemaker in southern Burgundy, 15 km from Macon, expressing all the authenticity of the terroir. Working in a spirit of quality and respect for the environment while combining tradition and new methods of vineyard management. Maurice Lapalus is joined by his son Christophe in overseeing 17 hectares of vines." (Crush imports) Most Gamy is synonymous with Beaujolais but the Macon has a small share as well. This is lovely Gamay with a decidedly Burgundian flare, chock-a-block with red fruits and spice.
The Irishman Harvest Single Pot Irish
$69.99
Founder's Reserve is the flagship bottle in the Irishman Whiskey range. It is a blend of 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. All components are triple distilled and matured in ex-Bourbon Casks. Bottled at 40%.
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.

$9.99

Flying Dutchman No. 3 Rum
$57.99
Zuidam is the first artisan rum distillery in Europe, and it started small and shaky. A passion project between husband and wife, with a single still and production line. The Rum No.3 is at least 3 years old and spends time in New American Oak, Olorosso Sherry, and PX Sherry casks.
The rum is lightly doughy with tangy wine cask notes. Soft and fruity with a moderate sweetness.
