About The Label
"This label is based on the beginning of a Manga-inspired story featuring Dave Worthington as a ‘Wild West of Scotland’ a whisky warrior. This will be the first story of the series of labels of his detailed adventures. Beginning with this one the bestowing of his powers by the Whisky Gods. The setting is dark with just a few single spot lights on Dave to give light around him. There are heads carved within the stone surrounding him, as he is in a chamber. To the left hand side in the foreground is a cloaked women with her hood down. Her head is raised, mouth open and arm raised aloft, clutching Banjolnir, a Banjo, the mystical instrument of the Whisky Gods which is fizzing with light energy. In the centre Dave is kneeled with his head bowed but in respect, not fear, mindful of the awesome responsibility being given to him. He is dressed in jeans, a shirt and waistcoat, with a single leather, Bandolero strap across his chest - with, instead of bullets, a range of different pipes as well as a couple of harmonicas in it. His beard should have some real quality to it - it is quite likely that his beard may turn out to be where his power is held as the story evolves.""
G&M Private Collection Benromach 1982
$1,979.99
This 39 year old Private Collection Benromach, bottled just shy of 40 years, was matured 19 years in a Sherry Cask before finishing for a further 20 years in a Burgundy Hogshead. At 60.2%, it has held its strength too. A sister cask to this bottling, also finished in Burgundy, is rocking 91pts on Whiskybase.
Independent bottlings of Benromach are extremely rare, there have been less than a dozen in the last 20 years, and a good chunk of them were by the distillery's owner Gordon & MacPhail. So why bottle a bunch of 39 year old Burgundy finished Benromachs (there appear to be at least 3) under Gordon & MacPhail? I suspect it is because these whiskies fall outside of the style the distillery is going for, and they didn't want to confuse these with the recent 40 year old releases, which have a more traditional style.

Maubet Cotes De Gascogne Blanc
$19.99
The Fontan family has an amazing history. The story began over a century ago, and is the tale of four generations of Gascons, driven by a passion for their land, vines, wines and Armagnacs. In the 2000s, Sylvain and Nadège Fontan, brother and sister, took over the reins of the vineyard. They continued to develop the winery. As a winemaker and cellar master, Sylvain enhances the estate’s grapes, making a range of characterful Armagnacs and Côtes de Gascogne wines. The Maubet is a blend of gros manseng, ugni blanc, colombard, and sauvignon blanc, a crisp white wine with a refreshing citrus- and stone-fruit core and a touch of minerality. This is a crisp and fresh white wine that is ready to be enjoyed on the deck or patio!
Russiz Pinot Bianco
$39.19
The origins of the Felluga family - who own both Marco Felluga and Russiz Superior - dates back 150 years, and six generations later they enjoy a position as one of the benchmark producers of white wine in Italy. The winery follows sustainable viticulture practices and derives all of their electricity from solar panels. Collio is situated in northeast Italy on the border with Slovenia. The Pinot Bianco has a deep straw yellow colour with golden and green hues and expresses ripe apple and flower aromatics. In the mouth, it's silky and round with a lengthy finish.
