Producer Description
"We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to That Boutique-y Brandy/Calvados Company with this 21 Year Old Calvados. This is a particularly intriguing Calvados from Christian Drouin. The story for this one begins at the very end of the year 2000, when the spirit was distilled. Distilled under Appellation Calvados Pays D’Auge Contrôlée, meaning the ciders may contain a maximum of 30% perry pears, and pot still distillation is mandatory. A sherry cask full of the spirit was sent over to Bristol for maturation (similar to how some Cognac is "early landed"). This is a real treat for any Calvados aficionado, one of only eight ‘'early landed' casks ever to be produced. Since that time, laws have changed meaning Calvados can no longer be aged outside of Normandy - so this sort of thing will not happen again, making these bottles extremely rare!"
About the Label
"Our label, designed in-house, designer Toby Dowling has a number of stories tied up in it, as you’d expect. The Lionheart is a reference to Coeur de Lion. The distillery has the trademark for spirits, but a little while back, that budget Camembert brand issued them a cease and desist so they don't use it any more. The route is the route the cask took, Ms Sherry Wood is obvious, and, the stamp shows the cows grazing beneath the high-trunk apple trees they have."
Hennessy XO
$287.99
An excellent Cognac from one of France's best-known producers! Hennessy may make a lot of Cognac, but the quality is behind the name. Complex spice and fruit notes, and a long, long finish make this XO simply outstanding. One to enjoy by the fireplace on a cold night.
As of March 31st, 2019 a Cognac must be aged for a minimum of 10 years to be given the XO designation.
Remy Martin Centuar de Diamant
$939.99
Bridgeland Chamomile Honey Grappolo
$35.99
Infused Grappa!?! This isn't the kind of spirit that is usually found on our shelves. However, when Sammy and Evan tasted this at Bridgeland Distillery, they realized they had no choice but to get it into Kensington Wine Market. This "Eau De Vigne" is infused with Honey and Chamomile and bottled at 33% ABV. It drinks incredibly well on its own or on the rocks for a nightcap, but it would kill as a cocktail ingredient as well!
Producer Description
"Eau de Vigne Grappolo from Gewürztraminer, macerated with Chamomile flowers and added a touch of Calgary spring harvest honey from bee hives in Parkdale."
Courvoisier VSOP
$56.99
One of the world's greatest and best-known Cognacs! Courvoisier was created in the early 1800s by two friends and businessmen who started as traders for the best Cognacs in the region, and then decided to create their own. (Emmanuel Courvoisier was one of those men.) As it has been since the early 1800s, Courvoisier is made in the town of Jarnac, in Charente, France. It was the favourite Cognac of Napoleon Bonaparte - in fact, the place where Courvoisier is made has a museum about Cognac, which also holds a few Napoleon momentos, including a lock of his hair, a hat and coat.
