Eau Claire Parlour Gin
$53.99
Eau Claire's flagship gin. Eau Claire is Alberta's first modern craft distillery. It was founded in 2013 and resides in Diamond Valley, Alberta.
"A tribute to the Prairie’s famed Alberta Rose, Parlour Gin is Eau Claire Distillery’s second release," according to the team at Eau Claire. "This London-dry style gin augments more traditional gin botanicals creating a juniper berry induced dryness, but with unique hints of rosehip, Saskatoon berry, coriander, lemon, orange, mint and spice. A medium gin, it is dry with a smooth, harmonious texture and little harshness."
Dictador 20 Year Old Rum
$93.99
Named in honour of Severo Arango y Ferro, a Spaniard who was sent to Colombia to establish commercial trading between the two countries. He was good at his job, but ruthless, earning the nickname "Dictador." This gorgeous Colombian rum is made from raw sugar cane nectar that has been matured for more than 20 years in a solera system, which gives the rum rich, complex flavours: roasted coffee, caramel, honey, dark chocolate. A Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition!
Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout
$5.99
The very unusual character of Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout stems from the fact that Kiuchi Brewery is using the recipe of a Russian Imperial Stout as base. Pitch black colour, big brown head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted bitterness, dark fruits. Roasted black and chocolate malts provide an explosion of coffee like flavours. The strong espresso character comes from the addition of espresso beans.

One of the stars of the Okanagan Valley! Jak Meyer focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and he does both extremely, extremely well. This beautiful Pinot Noir comes from the Meyer family's Mclean Creek Road Vineyard in Okanagan Falls. Pair with your favourite slow-roasted lamb dish, or perhaps a roast chicken or duck. One for turkey, too!

Compass Box Great King Street Glasgow
$69.99
The Glasgow Edition of Compass Box's Great King Street series is a more heavily sherried and peated blend than the original Artist's Series. The whisky has been created as a tribute to the style of blend popular in Glasgow during the 1930s.
The whisky is composed of 33% Lowland Grain with 67% malt from Islay, the Speyside and Highland. The whisky was matured in high proportion of First Fill Sherry and a mix of First and Refill American oak and a small amount of French oak.
From the Distillery: "In his 1930 book “Whisky”, Aeneas MacDonald teaches us that Glaswegians historically preferred fuller bodied and more flavour-packed whiskies than people in other parts of the world. So what better name for a whisky such as this? You’ll find here a rich vein of peaty-smokiness, underpinned by sherry cask-aged whiskies, full of dried fruit and wine character. The palate is full and round, with a sweetness typical of whiskies from our company."
About the label: "For decades, The Wellington Statue, outside Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art, has been cheekily topped by a traffic cone, something the local population has taken to heart as a symbol of their sense of humour. It has become one of Glasgow’s most iconic images, and graces our label for the Glasgow Blend."
Jermann Vinnae IGT
$46.99
KWM staff just love this winemaker - and so do many others! Winemaker Silvio Jermann — who has a reputation for making Italy's best white wines, and you'll know why when you try this elegant, unusual white wine, made mostly from Ribolla grapes, with a little Tocai and Riesling.
Clos du Soleil Rose
$24.99
This wonderful rosé is from the Similkameen Valley, very close to the Okanagan, British Columbia. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it is relatively full-bodied with a wonderful strawberry colour and "ripe fruit aromas of strawberry, raspberry and hints of cranberry and citrus. The palate explodes with these same ripe berry flavours, complemented with oak nuances of vanilla and caramel," according to the winery team! "Summer in a bottle," they say, and you know, we agree! Wonderful with roast chicken, roast turkey or smoked salmon. Very food-friendly!
Tawse Riesling
$28.99
One of Niagara's most celebrated wineries, and one of Canada's most critically acclaimed wines! "Off-dry but loaded with citrus refreshment and Riesling’s ‘come-alive’ feeling," according to critic Billy Munnelly from Billy's Best Bottles. "Equally good for sipping or gulping." We agree! Pair with Thai takeout or pork loin. You'll want to buy a couple of bottles at this price.
