Tantalus Pinot Noir
$63.99
Just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. "A rich garnet in colour, the nose is bursting of lingonberry, Bing cherry and sweet anise alongside floral notes of crushed rose petal and violet. Ripe raspberry and dark plum emerge on the palate with an intriguing graphite minerality on the finish. All sourced from our single vineyard estate, select Pinot Noir blocks were handpicked and vinified in small lots using entirely wild fermentation. The small batches were then placed into a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 12 months and blended, unfined and unfiltered, just prior to bottling. Although enjoyed in its youth we see this wine aging gracefully over the next 7 to 10 years," according to the winery. And we agree!
Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year

From The Producer

Producer Description
"For a quarter of a century, casks of this rare expression of Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky breathed the invigorating sea air of the Caithness coast. Sheltered from a fast-changing world by the darkened calm of a distillery warehouse, the spirit mellowed at its own steady pace, echoing the reassuring rhythm of its hometown port. Aged firstly in American oak, its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by casks of Spanish oak. Elegant and charismatic, this wonderful whisky embodies both Wick’s spirit of endurance and Pulteney Distillery’s devotion to its craft."
Plantation OFTD - 69% Barrel Proof
$55.99
A marriage of rums from Barbados, Jamaica and Guyana, this molasses-based over-proof was made with the intentions of emulating the old-school, traditional dark over-proof rums found in the exotic locales of the Caribbean and South America. Big, rich, intense, an excellent concoction of robust flavours balanced out by the high alcohol content of the spirit, this is the kind of spirit that excels in expressing both sweet and balanced tones.
