Terredora Pago Dei Fusi 2015
$73.94
This revered winery's story begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terredora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia, surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country, and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as aglianico, fiano, greco, piedirosso and falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the south for its power and its ability to age for many years. Today it is Walter's daughter, Daniela Mastroberardino, who oversees the winemaking duties and serves as the president of the Le Donne del Vino association- an organization supporting women in the wine industry in Italy.

Teaninich 8 Year Special Release 2025
$136.79
This 8 year old rye whisky from the Teaninich Distillery could be the most interesting Special Release Diageo has put out in years. As their is no classification for single malt rye, it is a grain whisky, distilled from rye in pot stills at a malt distillery. Confused, don't worry about it. Bottled at 60.3% after maturing in ex-Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"From a bold 2016 rye experiment using Teaninich Distillery’s rare mash filter, we bring a standout Scotch. Malted rye and barley are mashed together for a distillation matured in ex-bourbon casks. This bold deviation yields flavours rich in subversive spicy toffee sweetness, and thick with deep aromas of cinnamon and clove. A marvellous atypical taste, that proves fortune favours the brave."

Decadent Drams Glentauchers 19 Year
$355.49
57.1% - 2002 First Fill Bourbon & 2005 First Fill Sherry
87.96 points Whiskybase
Producer Description
This is a 19 year old Glentauchers single malt. We made it by muddling together a 2002 1st fill barrel of Glentauchers with a 2005 1st fill sherry butt of Glentauchers. The barrel got tipped in on top of the butt nearly two years ago, we bottled half that mix as Whisky Sponge Edition No.82 about a year ago, and now, we’ve decided it’s time to bottle the remainder of this mix. As such, here is Glentauchers 19 year old Decadent Drams! We bottled this with very slight reduction from cask strength at our favourite bottling strength of 57.1%. After an extra year in the sherry butt, with loads of headspace relative to the volume of whisky, the result is a hugely juicy and well-sherried, properly mature Glentauchers. Full of fruits, rich sherry notes, spices and waxiness. It’s despicably, decadently delicious stuff, and you should buy one for yourself and another for yourself and one for a pal. And one for your cat. Buy a cat if you need to in order to undertake that final instruction."
Decadent Drams Teaninich 13 Year
$206.99
54.5% - 2011 - First Fill ex-Bourbon
87.61 Points Whiskybase
Producer Description
"A 2011, 13 year old Teaninich. Matured in a 1st fill hoghsead and bottled at natural cask strength. This is simultaneously both a modern and an old school whisky. It is delicious but discombobulating. You will probably find yourself, much like our label cover star, Ozark the Drambot, confounded and existentially torn between the incompatible dualities of his existence. However, we would appreciate it if you didn’t focus too much on that outcome and still purchased bottles like a dutiful consumer." -
Old Orkney Malt 21 Year
$553.49
52.9% - 2003 Refill Hogshead / 1999 First Fill ex-Bodega Sherry Butt
89.18 points Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is our third official Old Orkney bottling. A multi-vintage, small batch 21 year old Orkney single malt, bottled at natural cask strength with a beautiful and rich sherrywood influence. We married together equal parts Orkney Malt from two different casks. First, a 2003 plain oak refill hogshead, second, a 1999 1st fill ex-bodega sherry butt. The whisky from these two casks was combined and married in a 2nd fill sherry butt for at least six months, before being bottled at natural cask strength. The result is a big, very robust and well-sherried Orkney single malt, with a very rugged, drying and salty sherry profile, underpinned by a gentle thread of Orcadian peat smoke. Old school and hugely characterful Orkney single malt!"
About the Old Orkney Brand
"Very early on in the Decadent Drinks story, Angus had the idea to see if he might be able to buy the historic, but long dormant, Old Orkney brand. AKA: 'Double O'. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The reason for this is that one of the big influences upon Angus' approach to bottling and branding, was the old 'Double O.O.' brand. It was originally the bottling brand of Stromness Distillery on Orkney, which sadly closed in 1928. After that time the brand quickly fell into dormancy and was used only very sporadically in the intervening decades."
Equinox & Solstice Bunnahabhain 11 Year
$220.49
This 11 year old Bunnahabhainwas created from lightly peated malt matured in a first fill oloroso sherry hogshead married with heavily peated malt matured in a first PX Sherry Hogshead. Bottled at 48.5%.
Producer Description
"This is our Winter 2024 edition of Equinox & Solstice series. It's a 2013, 11 year old, peated Bunnahabhain matured in sherrywood. To make this we combined a 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead of lightly peated Bunnahabhain Ardnahoe, with a 1st fill PX sherry hogshead of heavily peated Bunnahabhain Staoisha. This mix was left to marry for a couple of months, before being bottled at this series' trademark easy dramming strength of 48.5%. It's a big, rich, velvety and generously peaty Bunna, full of comforting smoky warmth and nicely assertive and salty sherry character. A perfect companion for winter nights and good cheer."
