Amador Rye Whiskey Port Cask Finish
$78.99
The Amador Whiskey Company was created by Trinchero Family Estates, a name that is much more well-known in wine circles. The cool part about this for whiskey lovers is though this is a sourced Rye, the source is an excellent distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky that unfortunately has yet to offer any of its own whiskey in Canada. That source is Willet Distillery.
Amador's Kentucky Rye Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels consists of a mashbill of 74% Rye, 11% Corn, and 15% Barley made at WIllet. It was aged in your typical virgin, charred American oak barrels for 3 years and then finished in Amador County Terra d’Oro Port barrels for 9-12 months. It is bottled at 46%.
From The Producer
"At Amador Whiskey Company, we partner with the finest craft distilleries to create limited-edition, luxury whiskeys. Partnerships include Barton 1792 in Bardstown Kentucky, Willett in Bardstown Kentucky, Castle & Key in Frankfort Kentucky, and Charbay in Ukiah California. Each Amador Whiskey is then finished in different Trinchero Family wine barrels in Napa Valley for a complex and unique flavor profile."

False Bay Chenin Blanc
$21.99
after South Africa’s most iconic bay, which frames much of the country’s premium winelands, False Bay Vineyards was borne out of a desire to make ‘real’ wine affordable.
Back in 1994, long before founding Waterkloof (his biodynamic vineyard overlooking False Bay), Paul Boutinot came to the Western Cape to seek out and rescue grapes from old, balanced and under-appreciated vineyards. These treasures were otherwise destined to be lost in the large cooperative blends that were dominating South Africa’s wine industry back then.
Unusually for that time, Paul transformed those Cape gems into wines with a minimum of intervention: Wild yeast ferments, no acid additions…you know the drill. A familiar story to many ‘real wine’ lovers now, but back then he was swimming against the tide. Even today, making wine this way at the price level is almost unheard of.
Today the ingredients remain the same for Waterkloof’s Cellar Master Nadia Barnard: Fantastic coastal fruit, old vines and wild yeast abound, with additions avoided.
Shelter Point 10 Year Single Malt
$114.99
Big changes going on at Shelter Point. New owners, new management, new vision. While we're a little sad about the changing of the guard, we're also keen to see what comes next for this little island distillery. An infusion of new blood could mean very exciting times ahead.
But in the meantime, let's celebrate a coming of age! 10-year-old single malt that came from the first year of production. We've been patiently waiting for this moment. Well... some of us not so patiently, actually. Hopefully, this 10-year-old becomes the distillery's new flagship expression. Fingers crossed.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.

Ochoa Gran Reserva Magnum
$91.99
Ochoa speaks for itself. A generational production that focuses on respecting every element of nature surrounding it. Today, Ochoa lies in the hands of the fifth and sixth generation of the Ochoa Family, Javier, Marivi, Adriana and Beatriz, who work together to continue the winery's legacy. This Gran Reserva is a product created by Javier Ochoa, a wine that is only produced in the best of years. It is a Tempranillo-focused blend, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, that shows a powerful yet elegant character. Full of red fruits, wood spice and earth. It's big and rich with abundant black fruit, drinking well now but will continue to improve for another five years or so.
