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.
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.
Talisker 10 Year
$109.99
One of the truly singular Scottish single malt whiskies, Talisker boasts a character unlike any other and is almost instantly recognizable in any of its forms. The distillery, only a dozen years away from its 200th anniversary, is known worldwide for its moderate level of peat and smoke, but more famously for the rich pepper/chili notes and briny seaside flavors that run through the DNA of all the malt produced there. Some whiskies require lengthy maturation to hit full stride. Talisker is one that not only shines in youth but actually showcases its brightest characteristics in its early years. The 10 year old is undoubtedly a special whisky but is approachable enough to be a go-to in the rotation.
Bottled at a respectable 45.8% abv.
Roederer Cristal
$519.90
Wonderful, just wonderful! And the critics agree, too! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave this beauty 93 points. The review: "Roederer’s 2006 Brut Cristal is striking in its sense of lift and delicacy, serving as one of many instances where those bringing preconceptions of this vintage’s warmth and ripeness of fruit to their experience may be pleasantly surprised. A nose of fresh apple, fennel and cucumber sets up associations with a slaw or salad that are crisply, lusciously and refreshingly redeemed on the palate. A garland of honeysuckle and heliotrope complements subtle suggestions of raw almond and vanilla, while alkaline and iodine notes as well as cooling but pungent green herbal notes add to the soothing yet stimulating finish. This exceptionally poised, refined, and buoyant performance is apt to gain depth with a few years’ bottle age."
