Producer Description 

This fine aged brandy is produced from the unique wines of Israel. It is distilled to concentrate its flavor, then aged for three years in the finest oak casks where the brandy develops its golden amber color. Ashkelon brandy is smooth and mellow with subtle dried fruit aromas and a lingering finish.

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast: 96-100 Points | A blend of original Benedictine and Cognac. Smells assertively of herbs, honey, quinine and baking spices with added aromas of black tea and tobacco. Entry tastes of tea, sage, fennel and a touch of quinine; the Cognac emerges at midpalate, lending a layer of elegance and genuine distillate presence. Finishes like a champion, long, semisweet, intensely herbal, mildly spicy and satiny. 

Producer Description 

B&B Liqueur is comprised of two parts - subtle, spiced Benedictine Liqueur and fine French cognac. It's a balance of flavors in a pour that tastes smooth yet finishes bold. The rich, noble notes of B&B are perfectly enjoyed neat in a snifter, yet are equally appealing in a fine selection of cocktails.

Sipsmith opened in Chiswick, London in 2009 as the city’s first copper pot distillery in nearly 200 years — a small, principled operation that helped ignite the modern craft gin renaissance. Built around a single copper pot still named Prudence, the distillery was founded on the belief that great gin requires patience, skill, and the finest botanicals. Their London Dry Gin became an instant benchmark. The Sloe Gin takes that award-winning base and does something wonderfully old-fashioned with it: steeping wild sloe berries — the small, tart, jet-black fruit of the blackthorn bush — harvested each autumn and left to macerate in the gin until the spirit turns a deep, jewel-like ruby red.

The result is a handcrafted sloe gin of real character: rich and warming on the nose with aromas of wild berry, cherry, almond, and a subtle juniper backbone. The palate is luscious but never cloying — ripe plum, damson, and bramble fruit with a bittersweet edge and a long, warming finish. At 29% ABV it is built for sipping neat over ice, pouring into a Sloe Gin Fizz, or stirring into a classic Sloe Negroni. The definitive modern expression of a very British tradition.

Producer Description 

This hazelnut colored, oxidized sherry showcases aromas of baking spices and dried candied fruits. It finishes dry with notes of fresh salt-roasted walnuts.

Cruz del Mar Oloroso is produced exclusively with palomino grapes grown by César’s family in the Balbaína and Miraflores pagos (vineyards). After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and undergo alcoholic fermentation in traditional cement vats, which naturally regulate the temperature.

Fuller-bodied musts are chosen for Oloroso, and after being fortified to 18% ABV., the wine is aged oxidatively in old barrels in a bodega in the heart of Chipiona. Cruz del Mar Oloroso spends an average of 12 years in the solera process before being bottled en rama, without fining or filtration.

Giffard · Crème de Pamplemousse Rose · France · 750ml

Giffard Crème de Pamplemousse Rose captures the bright aromatic character of pink grapefruit in a French liqueur. Made in Angers, it draws on essential oils extracted from grapefruit peel through steam distillation, balancing the fruit’s natural bitterness and tartness.

A pale, warm blush in the glass leads to aromas of fresh-cut grapefruit with a hint of sweetness. Juicy citrus flavors make this a versatile addition to cocktails, whether you are adding a grapefruit accent to a familiar recipe or building a simple aperitif.

Producer Description

Giffard: To craft this grapefruit liqueur, we extract the essential oils found in the peel through steam distillation. True to the fruit, the result is the bright aromatic quality and the balanced bitterness and tartness of fresh pink grapefruit.

Aroma: Fresh-cut grapefruit with a hint of sweetness
Tasting Notes: Juicy citrus with the natural bitterness of grapefruit

Producer Description 

Using the classic Cardenal Mendoza Brandy as its base, Angelus is made by blending in the essences of the natural ingredients, principally bitter macerated orange peel and cardamom, and ageing the blend in butts already seasoned with Sherry to achieve perfect balance.

This creates a unique, original and distinctive product which is enormously versatile. A rich and sweet citrus-led liqueur.

The Anjou pear is one of France’s great culinary treasures — cultivated in the Loire Valley and Picardy, essential to classic French pastries and desserts, and possessed of a sweetness that is at once delicate and unmistakable. Grey Goose has made it the soul of La Poire, capturing the flavor of a perfectly ripe Anjou at the precise moment of its fullest expression.

Built on the same foundation as the iconic original — soft winter wheat from the Picardy region, distilled and blended with spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region — Grey Goose La Poire applies the same rigorous production process to a single, luminous flavor. The result is not a syrupy approximation of fruit, but a vodka of genuine freshness: bold, clean, and true to the pear itself.

On the nose, the Anjou pear arrives with clarity and confidence — ripe, floral, and bright. The palate follows seamlessly: smooth and lush, with the characteristic elegance of Grey Goose and a long, naturally sweet finish that lingers without heaviness. Sophisticated enough to sip chilled, versatile enough to anchor a cocktail.

Michter’s U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 750ml

Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey is one of the great American whiskey comeback stories. During the 1970s and 1980s it was the distillery’s single most popular product — then it disappeared from the market in 1989 when the original distillery closed. After 23 years of absence, it made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the U.S.*1 small-batch line, and whiskey enthusiasts have never looked back. Unlike bourbon or rye, Michter’s Sour Mash occupies its own category: a unique grain selection and the traditional sour mash process — where previously fermented mash acts as a starter for the new fermentation, much like sourdough bread — produce a whiskey of singular character that defies easy classification. The Tasting Panel awarded it 97 points. Wine Enthusiast gave it 93. At under $50, it is one of the most compelling values in American whiskey.

The nose is a showstopper: cherry, toasty vanilla biscuit, and warm burnt sugar. On the palate, a generous stream of flavors unfolds — egg cream, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, ripe peach, and sandalwood — with a long, mellow finish of vanilla, oak, and a faint cherry essence that lingers beautifully. Smooth, buttery, and deeply satisfying.

Tasting Panel 97 — “This uncommon small-batch 86-proof spirit introduces itself with a showstopping perfume of cherry and toasty vanilla biscuit. A stream of flavors ensues, from egg cream to maple syrup, burnt orange peel, and cinnamon.”

Wine Enthusiast 93 — “Resurrected after 23 years, this smooth, buttery American whiskey is worth the wait… a faint cherry essence on the long finish that seems to urge, ‘stir up a few Manhattans already.’”

• Producer: Michter’s Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
• Expression: U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey
• Style: American Sour Mash Whiskey — small batch, 86 proof (43% ABV)
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Cherry, vanilla biscuit, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, peach, sandalwood
• Best Served: Neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Manhattan or Old Fashioned

A 97-point American Sour Mash at an honest price — Michter’s U.S.*1 is the benchmark for what this uniquely American whiskey style can be.

Nelson Bros. · Straight Rye Whiskey · 92.5 Proof · 750ml

Nelson Brothers Straight Rye Whiskey brings together nutmeg, dried apricot, mint, leather, cinnamon and cedar in an American whiskey bottled at 92.5 proof. The combination of fruit, spice and herbal notes makes this 750ml bottle a choice for exploring neat or mixing into a rye cocktail.

Producer & Heritage

The Nelson family's whiskey story stretches from Charles Nelson's Nashville grocery business to Nelson's Green Brier Distillery. The producer's historical notes below recount the family business and the Belle Meade label; they are background, not a claim that this rye shares the historic bourbon's recipe or production details.

Producer Description

Nelson Brothers Straight Rye Whiskey is bottled at 92.5 proof. This American whiskey features tasting notes of nutmeg, dried apricot, mint, leather, cinnamon, and cedar.

Seeking an American dream and a fresh start in Nashville, Charles Nelson opened a grocery store that flourished from his three best-selling products: coffee, meat, and whiskey. This eventually led to his focusing only on his whiskey business, the demand for which was far exceeding the supply. He bought the distillery that was making his whiskey in Greenbrier, TN, and a patent for improved distillation. Throughout this success, he began to make a name for Tennessee whiskey and a household name for himself, as well. Belle Meade Bourbon was one of about 30 different labels that Charles Nelson produced in the late 1800's. Unlike most of his other products, it was produced in conjunction with a third party, Nashville's Sperry Wade & Company, who had contracted Nelson's Green Brier Distillery to sell bourbon, rye, corn, and Tennessee whiskies bearing the Belle Meade brand.

Belle Meade Bourbon was the toast of the town when it hit the market in 1878 and became known as a great value and top-quality product. Long after prohibition's end, Charlie and Andy Nelson dedicated their lives to bringing back the family business and resurrecting the once-great Nelson's Green Brier Distillery. This was no small feat for two recent college grads who spent years being told "no" by potential investors, but that didn't stop the tenacious Nelsons.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Try neat, over ice or in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For food, consider aged cheese, roasted nuts or a slice of apple tart to complement the whiskey's fruit and spice notes.

Producer Description 

Situated within the picturesque Spey valley, Rothes is home to five distilleries all tucked along the tiny main street - unbeknown to passing visitors. Amongst these is Glenrothes hidden in a small glen on the outskirts of the village.

The blackened grave stones under the shadows of tall trees surrounded by distillery buildings.
