Tromba Reposado Tequila KWM Cask
$94.99
Look what has finally landed!
Late last year, we were fortunate enough to be romanced with the prospect of KWM's first exclusive single barrel of Tequila. It came about rather quickly and unexpectedly, during a meeting with the great people from Tromba (named for the rainstorms that bring life to Los Altos). The conversation went a little something like this: "Why don't we send a couple of you down to Guadalajara to pick a barrel?" ... "Oh, yeah, for sure. Hahaha." ... "How soon can you be ready?" ... "Ummm...wait, what?" A couple weeks later, Curt and Harmony were on a plane to Mexico.
While the two of them may have had very yin and yang experiences while in Jalisco (come ask us about it sometime!), they were 100% on the same page when it came to selecting a cask for the shop. After tasting through a great range of Tequila drawn from barrels resting in the Tromba warehouses, one particular cask stood taller than the others: Cask RO-161. This was tasted in cask at eight and a half months of age, but slept a wee bit longer in wood before bottling. It's still a Reposado but was tiptoeing towards being an Anejo. That extra time in wood only made this one better.
Our first Tequila, but definitely not our last.
Bottled overproof for us at 48% abv.
Chateau Montifaud 1992 KWM Cognac
$194.99
This single cask Cognac from Chateau Montifaud was distilled in 1992 and bottled after 29 years at 42.5%. The vintage is significant because 1992 was when Kensington Wine Market opened its doors. This is the first of many 30th Anniversary bottlings we expect over the next year, to mark our milestone. Some of you may remember our 25th Anniversary 1992 vintage Chateau Montifaud Cognac, the 30th Anniversary bottling if 5 years older, and only $5 more expensive...
Cocktail Concierge Agave Old Fashioned
$39.99
This high-end, ready-made drink from Cocktail Concierge is a blend of Clove Infused Mezcal, Eau De Vigne, Pineapple Liqueur, Oloroso Sherry, Orange and Aromatic Bitters. The marriage then spends time mellowing and marrying with charred American White Oak before being bottled.
Vallein Tercinier 1992 KWM Cognac
$249.99
Our 3rd exclusive single cask of Cognac... ever... has been bottled to help mark and celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Distilled in 1992, and was bottled after 30 years at 47%, exclusively for Kensington Wine Market!
Underberg Bitters 3-pack
$5.99
Since 1846, Underberg has been a leader in making some of Germany's most famous bitters. These single-portion small glass bottles contain a blend of herbs, bark and flowers in an alcohol base; use Underberg like the Europeans do, as a digestif after a heavy, long meal!
Smirnoff 375ml
$17.99
The original Smirnoff Vodka distillery -- a favourite of the Tsars -- was started by one Pyotr Smirnov in Moscow in the 1860s. These days, the company is one of the world's biggest vodka producers. In 2005, the New York Times held a blind tasting of 21 international vodkas, and Smirnoff placed first as the "hands down favourite." Try it for yourself and see what the fuss is all about! Oh, and it hasn't been made in Russia in a long time... to the best of our knowledge the Smirnoff we get is made in Lethbrige, Alberta..

Shiddys Orange Drink - McShiddys
$4.19
With some alcohol, you might drink because you love it. Other booze, you might drink because it brings on a sense of nostalgia. Then, there are some drinks that are so weird they can only be approached and drunk ironically. This RTD from Shiddy's covers at least two of those three ideas, but we leave it to you to decide which two.
The drink definitely nails the concept of watery orange juice from concentrate as a cocktail quite well. Possibly that is just what the doctor ordered, and you have been craving that flavour without knowing it. Perhaps it will remind you of a time long ago, eating fast food on a road trip to see family in another city or province. Or maybe, just maybe, you find it tastes so bad that you have no choice but to consider it the epitome of haut couture and want to be seen as recognizing and understanding the grand comedy that is human existence.
Either way, this orange drink is going to make you think something. What that something is, is up to you.
5% ABV. No added sugar. Gluten-free. Only 100 Calories per Can. Creepy Clown not included.
