Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz
$89.99
Thrust into the international wine spotlight thanks to an unmatched eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication, The Wine Advocate, Greenock Creek remains the proud standard-bearer for long-lived Barossa Valley red wines of deep colour, abundant flavour and great structure.
Their vineyards are situated in the sub-regions of Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Moppa located along the Barossa Valley’s western edge and are some of the oldest vines in the world. Thin, sandy loam topsoils lie sparsely scattered over ancient deposits of bluestone, marble stone, limestone, quartz and ironstone. Rainfall is limited, often to less than 400 millimetres a year falling through winter and early spring. Subsurface clay retains valuable moisture, sustaining the vines through the long, warm and dry summers and autumns. The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
The Seven Acre vineyard was originally planted in 1990. Each vintage typically undergoes 24-30 months of maturation in American oak with a small amount of further ageing in the bottle before release.
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength
$134.99
The Glenfarclas 105 was featured on Day 7 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar.
The Glenfarclas 105 was introduced more than 50 years ago, back in 1968. It was the first small batch, cask strength Single Malt Whisky released by a distillery. Like everything that Glenfarclas Distillery releases, the whisky within the 105 was matured entirely in ex-sherry casks. No age statement is given on the bottles, but my guess is we are looking at a whisky that is between 7-10 years old. And of course, it is bottled at a bracing 60% ABV or 105 British proof - hence the name. Pour a bit into your glass and it a taste!
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
$53.99
If you like your bourbon full-flavoured and rich in texture then this is the one for you! Toffee, fruity, leathery notes and 94 proof to boot.
Produced by Heaven Hill Distillers and Distilled by their Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY, The Elijah Craig Small Batch used to carry an age statement of 12 years old, however, that was replaced by the Small Batch. It is typically made in batches of up to 200 barrels aged 8-12 years old.

93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate! The review: "Deep garnet-purple coloured, the Apricot Block Shiraz opens with aromas of crushed wild blueberries and mulberries with underlying touches of roses, black olives, cigar boxes and anise. Medium to full-bodied and generously fruited in the mouth, it gives a great concentration of blue and black fruit flavors with a crisp acid line, medium levels of rounded tannins and a long finish with a little pepper coming through. It is still just a little tightly wound.
Arran Amarone Cask Finish
$87.99
Finished in Amarone casks sourced from the Veneto region of Italy, this Arran typically aged for a total of around 8 years old. Before finishing the Arran single malt these casks nurtured one of the richest, boldest & most sought after Italian wines. Its time in the barriques has given it a spicier, dark fruity character that marries well with Arran's malt. 50% ABV.
