Dewar's White Label Blended Scotch Whisky — Scotland 1.0L

Dewar's White Label is one of the world's best-selling Scotch whiskies — and for good reason. First created over a century ago by Dewar's master blender, White Label is built around a core of Aberfeldy single malt, one of the Highlands' most honeyed and characterful distilleries, blended with approximately 40 different whiskies to achieve a consistent, approachable, and genuinely satisfying dram. Founded in Perth in 1846, Dewar's is one of Scotland's most iconic whisky houses — and White Label remains their signature expression.

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast Superb/Highly Recommended | The bouquet has a dry, grainy aroma which is accented by peppery/spicy scents. The palate entry is surprisingly sweet and corny, considering how dry the aroma is; the midpalate point is deep, corny sweet, sap-like and a bit syrupy. Ends up well and balanced, with a backnote of dried red fruit (raisins, prunes).

Producer Description 

The US*1 expressions, so named to honor Michter’s heritage harkening back to America’s first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available. Distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee’s exacting specifications, no US*1 whiskey is ever released until Dan and the Michter’s tasting panel deems it ready.

Michter’s US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection. Truly “small batch” each batch of our US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of twenty full barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy. 

Profile: Kentucky whiskey. Fire-charred, new American white oak barrels. Rich caramel with balanced vanilla, stone fruit notes, smoky depth, with an oak finish. 91.4 Proof

Château de Laubade · Bas Armagnac · VSOP · Gascony, France · 750ml

Château de Laubade is one of the great estates of Bas-Armagnac — the most prestigious sub-region of the Armagnac appellation, located in the heart of Gascony in southwest France. Founded in 1870 and spanning over 400 hectares, Laubade is the largest single-estate producer in the appellation, farming its own vineyards and distilling exclusively on-site using traditional Armagnac alembic stills. Armagnac is France’s oldest brandy, predating Cognac by over a century, and Bas-Armagnac is its finest expression — lighter, more aromatic, and more terroir-driven than its more famous cousin. The VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged a minimum of four years in Gascon black oak, developing the complexity and elegance that has made Laubade a benchmark for the category. At $42.99, this is one of the most compelling values in aged French brandy.

Warm amber in the glass with a soft, inviting nose of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, dried plum, and a delicate floral lift — elegant and approachable from the first pour. On the palate: smooth and round, with flavors of ripe apricot, vanilla bean, and plum, framed by gentle spice and the subtle earthiness of Gascon oak. The finish is long, soft, and warming — a digestif of genuine refinement. Serve neat in a tulip glass after dinner, or pair with honey-glazed cheese, wild strawberries, or a light espresso. Also exceptional as the base for a classic Armagnac Sour or Gascon Old Fashioned.

Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey — Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA (1.0L)

Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling American whiskey — and one of the most iconic spirits brands on earth. Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee, the distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and has been producing Old No. 7 from the same limestone cave spring water source for over 150 years. What sets Tennessee Whiskey apart from bourbon is the Lincoln County Process — a distinctive charcoal mellowing step in which the new spirit is slowly dripped through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel, removing harsh notes and imparting the signature smoothness that defines Jack Daniel's character. The whiskey is then matured in handcrafted, new American oak barrels with a balance of sweet and oaky flavor, developing the vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood notes that have made Old No. 7 the benchmark of the category. In 1.0L format, it is the ideal bottle for home bars, entertaining, and cocktail making.

The nose is smooth and inviting: pronounced vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of caramel with the gentle sweetness of the charcoal mellowing process. On the palate, it is silky and balanced yet lush and intense — sweet oak, vanilla, and a warm, lingering finish with just the right amount of spice. A gorgeous iteration from America's top whiskey brand.

Japan's relationship with rice runs far deeper than cuisine — it is a philosophy of purity, craft, and patience distilled over centuries. Haku honors that heritage in every drop. The name itself carries a double meaning: Haku (白) for "white," and a tribute to its source, Hakumai (白米) — 100% Japanese white rice — shaped through the exacting mastery of Jyunpaku (純白), the art of achieving something purely and brilliantly clean.

Distilled and crafted by Suntory, Japan's legendary spirits house, Haku is filtered through bamboo charcoal — a process that strips away any harshness and leaves behind something remarkable: a vodka of uncommon softness, gentle sweetness, and a whisper of umami that sets it apart from any grain or potato expression.

On the nose it is delicate and clean, with subtle floral sweetness. The palate is round and silky, with the natural sweetness of white rice at its core. The finish is smooth and lingering, with that signature Japanese refinement — restrained, precise, and deeply satisfying.

• Base: 100% Japanese White Rice
• Filtration: Bamboo charcoal

The Shed Distillery · Drumshanbo, Ireland · 86 Proof

Deep in the heart of Connacht, in the small lakeside town of Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, master distiller PJ Rigney set out to create something the world had never tasted. Founded in 2014, The Shed Distillery was the first new distillery in Connacht in over 100 years. Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is the result of years of patient craft — a slow-distilled gin that blends Eastern-inspired botanicals with the pure spring waters of the Arigna Mountains, creating a spirit as distinctive as the landscape that inspires it.

The gin takes its name from Gunpowder tea — a Chinese green tea whose rolled leaves resemble old gunpowder pellets — which is slow-steeped alongside an exotic blend of botanicals including Oriental grapefruit, meadowsweet, and caraway seeds. The result is a gin of remarkable complexity: bold citrus and floral notes on the nose, a bright, spice-forward palate, and a long, warming finish at 86 proof (43% ABV). Exceptional neat, on the rocks, or in a premium G&T.

Evan Williams Straight Bourbon White Label Bottled in Bond 100 Proof 1.0 Liter

Evan Williams is one of Kentucky's most storied bourbon names — the distillery traces its heritage to 1783, making it one of the oldest continuously operating bourbon producers in America. The White Label Bottled in Bond is their serious whiskey: produced under the strict requirements of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act, meaning it must be the product of a single distillery, a single distillation season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No shortcuts, no blending tricks — just honest, well-made American bourbon.

Winner of the Double Gold Medal at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the White Label punches well above its price point — smooth, warm, and complex with a rich caramel and vanilla core and enough structure to sip neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.
