Producer Tasting Note
Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat.
Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather-honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.
Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.
Glenkinchie 12 Year
$97.99
Glenkinchie has long been known as "The Edinburgh Malt", though that looks set to change in very short order, as the Holyrood Distillery comes online in the heart of Scotland's capital. But nicknames aside, Glenkinchie really should need little in the way of introduction. It has become one of the foremost examples of what we consider the 'typical' Lowlands style: light, floral, elegant.

Oban 14 Year
$152.99
Oban 14 is a touchstone malt. One that sits on most backbars across the country. It's rather singular profile makes it a restaurant favorite, in fact, and it's silky, salty and slightly peaty profile make it a complimentary malt to most food styles. Ask most any whisky fan what their gateway dram was and you're almost certain to hear this one crop up in the first few whiskies mentioned. There's good reason for that. Oban's malty, cereal-driven, and faintly peaty profile has just enough fruity sweetness underlying (and even a wee creamy top note!) that it is able to seduce ridiculously broad audiences through its sheer approachability. More defining than any of the afore-mentioned characteristics, though, is the coastal influence that permeates every bottle of Oban. That slightly saline character puts this in a special category that only a handful of Scotland's malts fit into.
Oban 14 is a part of Diageo's Classic Malts series for good reason. You may find it safe, but there's no way you won't find it utterly satisfying. 43% abv
Talisker 10 Year
$109.99
One of the truly singular Scottish single malt whiskies, Talisker boasts a character unlike any other and is almost instantly recognizable in any of its forms. The distillery, only a dozen years away from its 200th anniversary, is known worldwide for its moderate level of peat and smoke, but more famously for the rich pepper/chili notes and briny seaside flavors that run through the DNA of all the malt produced there. Some whiskies require lengthy maturation to hit full stride. Talisker is one that not only shines in youth but actually showcases its brightest characteristics in its early years. The 10 year old is undoubtedly a special whisky but is approachable enough to be a go-to in the rotation.
Bottled at a respectable 45.8% abv.
Rockford Grenache Mataro Shiraz
$74.99
A soft, spicy blend that captures the rustic heartbeat of the Barossa. Moppa Springs is a place where green vines grow on one side of the fence and ripened wheat on the other. This country can be tough on grapes and vines but in this case, the Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro give their best.
Campari Milano
$38.99
Campari is a type of bitters made by infusing alcohol with bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit including chonotto. Campari is an essential to the classic Negroni, the Garibaldi and also the Americano. Campari was invented by Gaspare Campari between 1862 and 1867. It was originally colored with carmine dye, derived from crushed cochineal insects, which gave the drink its distinctive red hue.
Glenmorangie 18 Year The Infinita
$234.99
Elegantly packaged in a cognac like bottle the whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke. Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon."
Guinness Pub Draught 4 Pack Cans
$17.99
Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness and is based on the porter style that originated in London in the early 20th century. It's one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. A distinctive feature is the burnt flavour which is derived from the use of roasted barley. The thick creamy head is the result of the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being poured.
