Dalmore 12 Year
$114.99
Matured in American Oak ex-Bourbon the whisky and "finessed in rare and aged oloroso sherry casks." 40%
Dalmore is located in the Northern Highlands of Scotland on the Firth of Cromarty. It gazes accross at the Black Isle, a peninsula with some of the most fertile soil in the UK. Dalmore was converted into a sea-mine factory in WWI by the US Navy who built the long "Yankey Pier" which still juts out into the firth. The distillery is the jewel in the crown of Whyte and MacKay.
Master Blender and Fancy Watch/Tie Aficionado Richard Paterson says: "With its intricate aromas and flavours, The Dalmore 12 is recognised as a whisky with character far beyond its age."
Ata Rangi Sauvignon Blanc
$39.99
Vibrant! Delicious! There's nothing quite like a Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc. The Kiwis have really created a unique style and flavor profile with their award-winning whites. The Paton family at Ata Rangi is known for its quality wines and here's a vibrant example of Sauvignon Blanc showing a glorious medley of ripe aromas from passionfruit to pear. This is made to be paired with food. Lovely with shellfish or herbed chicken.
Samuel Smith Organic Apple
$8.99
Samuel Smith�s makes this cider at a small, independent British brewery, the oldest brewery in Yorkshire. Produced from organically grown apples. A medium dry cider with brilliant straw colour, light body, clean apple flavour and a gentle apple blossom finish.
Tawse Growers Pinot Noir
$47.99
Tawse is a family-owned estate winery located on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment in the sub-appellation of Twenty Mile Bench. Founder Moray Tawse purchased his Cherry Avenue property in 2000 and opened his six-level, state-of-the-art winery in 2005. Tawse was voted the number two winery in Canada in the Canadian Wine Awards and won a platinum medal from Decanter Magazine on their World wine awards.
Warm, enticing notes of dark cherry, savoury herbs, mulberry and potpourri on the nose, this Pinot Noir shows a fine balance between ripe fruit and more subtle, evolving characteristics. On the palate, the velvety tannins complement the refreshing acidity, with the wine culminating in a long, warm finish.
Vineland Estates Cabernet Franc
$24.99
Why call a cab when you can have a Cab Franc. Okay, we're fooling around with a play on words here because this Canadian red is worth a ride. It's a little lighter than a Cabernet Sauvignon but with just as much finesse. Medium-bodied and smooth with raspberry aromas and flavors of sweet roasted bell pepper and a hint of smokiness. Nice oak and a long, long finish. Great with roast lamb.
Alvears Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927
$39.99
Alvear makes delicious sherry in the sunny region of Andalucia. This smooth, sweet wine is the result of the Pedro Ximenez grapes being left to dry under the sun on esparto-grass mats. Once the fermentation is over, the wine is placed in American oak casks, where it will age by means of the traditional method involving rows of casks known as the solera system begun by Alvear in 1927.
Schladerer Black Forest Kirsch 350ml
$36.99
This Kirsch is made in Germany by the Schladerer Distillery, which has been operated by the Schladerer family for over 175 Years. It is made with cherries from the Black Forest. 42% ABV.
From The Producer
"Our native sweet cherries come from prime locations in the Black Forest, and include the time-honored varieties Dollenseppler, Schwarze Schüttler and Benjaminler.

Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc
$41.99
Always one of Marlborough's top Sauvignon Blancs, made by former Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd. It has gentle tropical and citrus aromas and flavours, and the complex layers mean that each sip reveals a little more. A very stylish wine. Score - 92. (Christelle Guibert, decanter.com)
Amrut Kadhambam
$139.99
Limit 1 Per Customer!
Kadhambam means ‘mixture’ or ‘combination’, and this Amrut certainly lives up to its name: a vatting of normal and peated Amrut that started life in ex-oloroso casks before being transferred first into brandy casks, then into rum casks (both the rum and brandy having been produced at Amrut also). A curious mixture, this is a unique and thrilling whisky.
