Producer Description 

This is a single malt from the Yoichi distillery, Nikka's first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making.

Yoichi single malt has pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal-fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the aging process.

Producer Description 

The revelation of this recipe with powerful harmony and subtle balance, combines 26 plants, roots, and spices meticulously selected for a memorable tasting experience

Some bottles carry history in them. Dubonnet Rouge has been poured at European tables since 1846 — a fortified aperitif born in Bordeaux, beloved by royalty, and as relevant today as it was in the Belle Époque. Crafted from a proprietary blend of red wine, herbs, spices, and a touch of quinine, it occupies a singular space between wine and spirit, bitter and sweet.

In the glass, it is scarlet red with dark highlights. The nose is warmly herbal — dried fruit, sweet spice, and a hint of orange peel. On the palate, autumnal fruit tones lead to a pleasantly bitter, lingering finish that awakens the appetite exactly as a great aperitif should.

Serve chilled over ice with a slice of orange, top with tonic or soda for a light spritz, or use as the backbone of a classic Dubonnet Cocktail. A staple for any serious home bar.

Origin: Bordeaux, France
Style: Fortified Aperitif Wine
Base: Red wine, herbs, spices, quinine
Format: 1.0 Liter

The making of fruit gins has long been a tradition in the English countryside, and ours keeps true to a recipe dating back to 1883.

The Nose - A clear character of mellow sloe berries, it’s fruity with notes of sweet cherry and a slight scent of almonds

The Palate - Fruity, smooth and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweet and dry

The Finish - Long, fresh and fruity

A 750ml bottle of Plymouth Sloe Gin (26% abv). Sloe berries are slowly and gently steeped in Plymouth Gin, soft pure Dartmoor water and a small amount of sugar for approximately 4 months.

The sugar levels are kept low to allow the full flavour of the berries to shine and allow the dry acidity of the fruit to be an important part of the taste. The result is an entirely natural product with no added flavourings or colourings. Sloe Gin has long been enjoyed as a ’winter warmer’ in the countryside.

Layers of baked strawberry, plum, and roasted nuts are highlighted by cinnamon and cocoa. A full-bodied palate of caramel and fig leads to an exquisite, lightly tannic balance of oak, spice, and blackberry. Proof: 108

In the highlands of Jalisco, where the red clay soils and cooler temperatures of the Los Altos region produce some of Mexico’s most aromatic and expressive Blue Weber agave, Riazul has been quietly building a reputation for tequila of genuine refinement. The name — a nod to the azure color of the agave fields at sunrise — reflects the brand’s commitment to the raw material: 100% Blue Weber agave, grown to full maturity, harvested by hand, and treated with the care it deserves throughout production.

Introduced in 2009, the Reposado stands apart within its category by aging a full 9 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels — longer than most Reposados, and in a wood pairing that adds layers of complexity without masking the agave’s natural character. The result is a silky, medium-to-full-bodied spirit with a wonderful interplay of fruit, honey, and agave on the nose, and a palate that moves from peppery jalapeño spice through vanilla and white chocolate sweetness on a long, warming finish. A gold medal winner and a 91-point expression worth knowing.

Produced Description

Butterscotch and cinnamon with a hint of cherries on the nose; warming, rich, toasty vanilla and caramel up front with a dry oaky spice on the finish.

The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter's US1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest. For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than a more industry standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter's more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but they believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. A single barrel product, each barrel of Michter's US1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The majority of barrels in the releases range from 107 to 112 proof. To savor it is a unique experience for anyone who enjoys rye whiskey. 

Expert Reviews 

99 Points Tasting Panel | Bottled at barrel strength (108 proof), this Kentucky straight rye exudes Michter’s always complex aromas—full of orange peel, burnt sugar, choco- late leather—with an extra stirring of the senses i ncluding cherrywood and peach. On the tongue, the alcohol sets a tone, then dissipates, leaving a warmth of peppered cherries, orange zest, toffee nibs and cocoa.

95 Points Wine Enthusiast | This limited-release rye offers a rich aroma of vanilla and caramel. Bottled at barrel strength, it's initially drying and hot on the palate. Complex and echoing with rounded vanilla and allspice, it stands up to plenty of dilution, and finishes on a hint of almond.

Producer Description 

Fruity bouquet with hints of honey on the nose. Sweet entry with grain notes dominating the palate, with subtle hints of vanilla and butterscotch. Finish is dry and peppery.
