3. Mars Komagatake x Chichibu Malt Duo 2021
Price: $700.00
This 2021 release bottle is a Mars Komagatake and Chichibu Malt Duo. It was distilled at the hugely famous Mars Shinshu distillery and Chichibu. Both distilleries are well-known for creating exquisite Japanese whiskies.
4. Benriach Smoke Season Scotch
Price: $70.00
Smoky whiskies are not traditionally associated with Speyside, but look back through its distilleries’ archives and it’s clear that heavily peated single malts were the preferred palate of the region back in the 19th century. Both intensely smoked and exquisitely sweet, the special edition has been two-cask matured in both American virgin oak and bourbon barrels - wood types intentionally selected to amplify the toasted sweet notes in Benriach’s smoky spirit.
5. El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition
Price: $125.00
This añejo tequila spent its first nine months of aging in ex-bourbon barrels before a four-month finish in casks formerly reserved for Laphroaig 10-year-old single malt whisky. It represents the inaugural release of an ongoing series in which El Tesoro master distiller Carlos Camarena will experiment with a global assortment of pre-seasoned cooperage—and no, that famed Laphroaig peatiness doesn’t mean that this tequila now tastes like a mezcal. Here you’ll enjoy an alluring combination of maple barbecue and salted, cured bacon. Through it all, the earthiness of the agave holds true.
6. Parker’s Heritage 11-Year-Old Heavy Char Wheat Whiskey
Price: $800.00
The 15th edition of Parker's Heritage Collection features the same mashbill as Bernheim Wheat Whiskey, but aged in specialty barrels that were charred for 90 seconds, as opposed to our traditional 40 seconds. Continuing the award-winning series of heavy char releases, these "Level 5" barrels were aged for a full 11 years, where the heavier char allowed the whiskey to penetrate further into the barrel, bringing forth honey and subtle cinnamon spice. The 75 barrels reached peak maturation on the sixth floor of Rickhouse Y. It is bottled without chill filtration at 122 proof. Developed by Heaven Hill Distillery’s own Master Distillers, Wheat Whiskey is the first new style of American Whiskey to be introduced since Prohibition.
7. Appleton Estate Hearts Collection 1995 Rum
Price: $450.00
The 25-year-old expression awakens your nose with pungent aromas of petrol and rubber cement. If you hunt hogo as avidly as me, you’re already licking your lips. But the sip is even more of a sensory overload. On the tongue, the typical over-ripened tropical fruit of a liquid with this provenance is redirected by way of candied orange and sour cherries. A tickle of high-octane heat wanes in its wake.
8. Frapin VIP XO Cognac
Price: $125.00 - $175.00
This blend, enhanced with very old cognacs of the family cellars, is harvested, distilled over lees and aged at the estate, whose 240 hectares are located in Grande Champagne. Its long ageing in our humid cellars combines roundness, bouquet and suppleness.
9. Los Vecinos del Campo, Tobala Mezcal
Price: $47.00 - 150.00
Los Vecinos del Campo means 'Neighbors of the Field' and honors the centuries-old mezcal distilling traditions of Oaxaca and the people whose families have produced these rich spirits for generations. In Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, a group of mezcaleros distills these small batch mezcals using time-honored, traditional methods passed down by their ancestors. Utilizing locally grown and hand-harvested agave, the sultry, smoky sweetness of these artesanal mezcals is reached after days of slow roasting agave hearts underground. The piñas are crushed using a stone molino, then naturally fermented in wooden vats, and, finally, double distilled using a copper pot still. The Tobala expression is composed of 100% Tobala agave. Wild and comparable to a truffle, Tobala is rare in that it only grows naturally under certain conditions like high altitude and under the shade of an oak tree. Unlike other agave, Tobala relies on pollination to reproduce.
10. Misty Isle Vodka
Price: $35.00
Misty Isle Vodka is our triple GOLD award-winning vodka and was inspired by Skye’s dramatic landscapes. It is carefully triple distilled in small batches at our distillery situated in Portree. Gold Award Winner at The World Vodka Awards, London Spirits Competition and IWSC Competition 2021.
