Kinglake O`Grady`s Stand Single Malt
$67.50
This is the first Aussie single malt we've seen in a few years. Local demand in Auz is so great, that few of their whiskies leave home anymore. O'Grady's Stand Single Malt is the core whisky from Kinglake Distillery. It is made with 4 different malts, 3 of them sourced from New South Wales and malted locally (one of which is roasted to the level of chocolate malt), and the balance is peated malt from Scotland. The spirit is cut to emphasize a heavy, oily spirit, which is matured in "small format" ex-Bourbon casks. 500ml / 46%

Kolonist wines are made from grapes grown on the eastern slopes of the biggest fresh-water lake in Ukraine – Yalpug. Due to the slopes, vineyards receive double sun rays from the sun and reflected ones from the surface of the lake, they are also well blown around with the winds. 33 hectares of vines are pruned by the Guyot and Cordon methods, grow on the loam soils which are rich in minerals with deep layers of lime.

OMC 25th Annv Ardmore 13 Year
$167.99
I really wanted to dislike this... the price is a touch high, it is from an ex-Wine hogshead, and Ardmore, especially young Ardmore is so hit and miss for me. But it is excellent! 2010 vintage, 13 years old, 50%, and bottled for the 25th Anniversary of the Old Malt Cask range.

Black Tot Master Blenders Reserve 2023
$178.99
54.5% ABV
From The Producer
"Black Tot Day 2022 marks the third iteration of our annual Master Blender’s Reserve, an ever-evolving perpetual blend crafted by our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton.
For this year’s blend, we drew inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavour profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, liquorice, and spice. These flavours were mapped out and became our guide."
Rockford Rod & Spur Cab/Shiraz
$89.99
Another Rockford knock-out wine! The blend is 55-45 with Shiraz at the forefront, but the Cabernet imparts a dusty, minty note with a lingering finish, buffered by plenty of ripe cherry flavours from the Shiraz. Like all of the Rockford wines, there's a delicacy to the style, with no excessive extraction, alcohol or harsh tannins. Drink: 2021 - 2034
