La Messagere Gluten Free Berry
$3.50
From the Producer
"Capped with a naturally pink foam, this berry ale avoids all in transparency of a deep garnet color. The delicate sweetened tang, this refreshing beer reveals the natural freshness of the fruits and balances its high content of buckwheat and rice malt. It’s fruity and acidulous flavours are release little by little from the raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant perfumes."

Heimann & Fiai Baranya Kekfrankos
$38.99
From winemaker and proprieter Heimann Zoltán: The winemaking heritage of our country is a vital source of inspiration for us, but we are creating new wines for the 21st century, not nostalgic imitations of past wines. Because the wine culture of several other countries also inspire us, respect for those is also very important to us. Without free expression progress towards our goal would be impossible. We also believe that biological and cultural diversity are inherently enriching. The style of the Heimann family’s classic wines was developed by Ágnes and Zoltán Heimann. The first decade of the 21st century was dedicated to finding the special Heimann style: we brought top quality cuttings of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Bordeaux and planted them on the Porkoláb-völgy plateau. When in 2002-2003 the first monopole vineyard of the family, the 11 ha Bati Kereszt was planted a significant acreage was dedicated to Viognier, the one and only white variety of the estate. The west facing slopes were planted with Tannat from Basque Country and Sagrantino from Umbria. These latter varieties give an individual touch to the character of the top of the range wines: Franciscus and Barbár.
Establishment Tropicalia
$5.57
From the Brewery;
"Brewed in collaboration with Cabin brewing company
MPERIAL SOUR WITH passionfruit, orange, and guava.
Behold, Tropicalia. It looks just as juicy as it tastes, like the brightest island sun setting into a pint glass. To make this Imperial Sour, we and our good buddies over at Cabin Brewing opted to maintain the effect of POG’s proven 1:1:1 fruit ratio to brew something strong that packs a seriously delicious tropical payoff.

Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey
$341.99
Since its first release in 1984, the venerable Midleton Very Rare has been a blend of pot still and grain whisky that is produced at the new Midleton Distillery in East Cork. The releases of Very Rare are usually aged in ex-Bourbon casks, giving it a somewhat different twist than the more sherry-driven Redbreast Irish Whiskey range.
Midleton Distillery produces some of the best whiskey and most coveted expressions we see coming out of Ireland and Midleton Very Rare highlights that.
We are currently on the 2023 edition. Bottled at 40% ABV.
Producer Note: "Since 1984, each Master Distiller of Midleton Very Rare uses their eye for detail, their passion for quality whiskey and their exemplary skill to create the pinnacle of Irish whiskey—our special vintage release. The latest chapter of this renowned collection is adorned with the signature of our Master Distiller, Kevin O’Gorman. After months of exploration, O’Gorman crafted a balanced blend of rare and hand-selected single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys from Midleton’s exclusive inventory to create this truly special release. Matured in lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels, the Midleton Very Rare 2023 Vintage Release delights with decadent flavours and a tantalising aroma. The aroma, taste and finish of this whiskey will enliven the palates of those new to this collection while taking the seasoned whiskey collector on a journey through an exciting exploration of taste."

Amrut Intermediate Sherry Cask Strength
$125.99
Finally, back at a bottling strength that suits this Indian flavour bomb! For the last couple years, we've only had access to the 46%er. That was still good whisky, of course, but this is next level. As soon as we saw it was back in the province, we had to jump.
This spirit starts its life in ex-Bourbon, before being re-racked into Sherry casks, then put back into ex-Bourbon to finish maturing. They like to refer to it as sandwich maturation. In this case...a spicy jam sandwich. Delish!

Amrut Portonova Cask Strength
$125.99
Consistently one of the best Port-finished whiskies in the world, Portonova is finally back up at its apex bottling strength of 62.1% abv, and we could not be happier. This whisky is a crescendo in a glass. Hopefully, it is back to stay.
