Christian Drouin Calvados Coeur de Lion Sélection — Pays d’Auge, Normandy | 375ml

In the heart of Normandy’s Pays d’Auge — the most prestigious appellation within Calvados — the Drouin family has been distilling apple and pear spirits for generations. Christian Drouin is one of the region’s most respected names, celebrated for Calvados of exceptional finesse and authenticity, crafted from hand-selected fruit grown in the estate’s own orchards. The Coeur de Lion Sélection is the entry point into the Drouin range and a beautifully balanced introduction to the world of Calvados: the sharp freshness of perry pears combined with the smoothness of cider apples, distilled in a column still and aged in old, lightly used casks that preserve the subtle balance of fresh fruit without imposing heavy wood character. The 375ml format is the ideal size for gifting, exploring, or keeping on the bar.

Producer Description

Ciroc Passion is crafted with vodka from fine French grapes that lend a distinctive citrus taste. Infused with the taste of the tropics, this is vodka bursting with fresh-tasting pineapple, passion fruit, and citrus. Limited.

Producer Description 

Crafted with flavor in mind, CÎROC Passion is distilled from fine French grapes and masterfully infused with an exotic blend inspired by the tropics. Featuring notes of pineapple, mango, citrus, hibiscus, and other natural flavors, it offers a taste experience that's both lusciously unique and elegantly smooth.

As a finishing touch, the vodka is encased in a bottle with a distinctive ombre colorway of purple and orange resembling the bright tones of sunset with sleek gold lettering that's sure to stand out on any table. 

Most vodka begins with grain. Cîroc begins with grapes — a distinction that sets it apart from virtually everything else on the shelf and delivers a smoothness that grain simply cannot replicate. Crafted in the Gaillac and Cognac regions of southern France, Cîroc sources fine French grapes and subjects them to five distillations, the final one in a tailor-made copper pot still — a technique borrowed from the world of Cognac and applied here with singular precision.

The result is an ultra-premium vodka of unmistakable character: lusciously smooth, with a clean and refined texture and delicate citrus aromatics that lift the nose without overwhelming it. Lightly sweet on the palate, it finishes with an elegance that justifies both the process and the provenance.

Snap Frost is the original expression — the one that built the reputation. At 80 proof, it is calibrated for versatility: exceptional neat or on the rocks, and a natural foundation for elevated cocktails that deserve a vodka worth tasting.

• Producer: Cîroc
• Base: Fine French Grapes
• Distillation: Five times, finished in copper pot still
• Origin: France (Gaillac & Cognac regions)
• Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
• Format: 750ml

Serving Suggestions: Exceptional neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Vodka Martini, Cosmopolitan, or Vodka Soda. Pairs well with light appetizers, smoked salmon, or caviar.

Citadelle Gin — Cognac, France — 88 Proof — 750ml

Citadelle is one of France's most celebrated gin houses, distilled in Cognac using a 19th-century copper pot still and a signature blend of 19 botanicals sourced from around the world — juniper, citrus peel, coriander, cardamom, fennel, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and more. The result is a gin of rare aromatic complexity: three defining character traits — juniper, citrus, and exotic spice — woven together with a voluptuous, long finish that sets it apart from anything else in the category. 96 points from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge and 94 points (Best Buy) from Wine Enthusiast confirm what the glass already tells you.

The juniper cedes to a long, voluptuous, spicy finish with touches of pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon that linger beautifully.

Citadelle is one of France's most celebrated gin houses, distilled in Cognac using a 19th-century copper pot still and a signature blend of 19 botanicals sourced from around the world.

The result is a gin that is fruity, aromatic, and completely natural, with no artificial colors or flavors. Crystal-clear in the glass, it delivers all the complexity of a great dry gin with a lush, berry-driven character that makes it as versatile as it is delicious.

Fresh and aromatic on the nose, with vivid cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, and the distinct sharpness of rhubarb layered over Citadelle's classic botanical backbone.

Producer Description 

Before dusk, there is a delightful moment when darkness embraces the light. This precious moment inspired this combination of spirits, pouring into a shimmering glass decanter fused to a night-colored ceramic base. 

Clase Azul Tequila Gold is an incomparable tequila joven, a blend that combines Clase Azul Tequila Plata with a special reposado tequila matured in French oak casks and an eight-year-old Extra Añejo aged in American whiskey casks and finished in sherry casks.

Soft amber with golden sparkles. Medium body.

Agave syrup, green apple, orange peel, fresh fig, raisins, light note of almond and walnut. Toasted wood, fig, green olive, ginger, cocoa / dark chocolate.

Recommended with seafood and fish with high-fat content (tuna, salmon, octopus, lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams) cooked with butter and yellow lemon (avoid limes). Kalamata olive tapenade and brie cheese tapas. Semi-bitter or white chocolate with citrus jam or citrus ice cream.

Decanter |
The Clase Azul Tequila Gold decanter challenges the impossible: its shimmering glass is fused against a black ceramic base, a technique that took our experts 6 years to develop.

Producer Description 

Crystal clear with light straw-colored highlights. Full bodied. Aromas of grapefruit skin, fresh wood, rosemary, peanut oil, hints of butter and daisy flowers. Flavors of fresh wood, seaweed, lemon juice, pepper and light notes of tobacco. 

The vibrant cap of this decanter features beautiful representations of hummingbirds handcrafted using traditional lacquering techniques. Due to its technical and material complexity, our artisans dedicate up to ten days to its creation. 

Producer Description 

This creation symbolizes our journey: how far we’ve come these past 25 years as well as the brilliant future that awaits us. It is also a way for us to thank all the people who have been part of this journey: the talented artisans, all those who are part of the Clase Azul family, and, of course, everyone who has brought a small piece of our Exquisite Mexico into their homes.

To celebrate our legacy, we’ve created our first decanter completely painted in our distinctive cobalt blue color. Inspired by dandelion seeds being carried by the wind, its feathered motifs embody Clase Azul México's expansion across the world. Twenty-five of the brushstrokes that grace the surface of the decanter have been hand painted in platinum; one for each year of our history.

The tequila created for this edition pays homage to our signature Clase Azul Tequila Reposado. Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, reimagined its creation to give it a special touch.

Part of the agave used to make this blend was milled using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, a practice that dates back to the origins of tequila.

In addition, the fermentation process was extended to accentuate the liquid’s citrus and fruity notes. This blend was aged for eight months in two different first-use American whiskey casks, each one imparting its own distinct and rich tasting notes.

Producer Description 

Intense amber in color, the Clase Azul Reposado presents aromas of wood, vanilla and toffee caramel. On the palate, it is silky, rich and smooth, offering notes of cooked agave, wood and vanilla.

Producer Description 

Fresh Oregon and Washington cherries are crushed, fermented, and distilled into clear, delicate Cherry Brandy, also known as Kirschwasser. In German, Kirschwasser translates to “cherry water”, and is an integral ingredient in Swiss fondue.

We use dark, sweet table cherries, giving the spirit a soft aroma of vanilla and almond. 

Producer Description 

100% malted rye. Full rye body. The roughness of most ryes is here tamed by the small cognac potstill. Fabulous. 

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

The Wine Advocate 99 Points | Colgin's 2021 IX Estate is a rich, opulent example, with layers of ripe black cherries and dark chocolate punctuated by hints of sage and bay leaf, plus some vaguely floral notes (violets?). Full-bodied, concentrated, velvety and long, it's another terrific wine that showcases the potential of Pritchard Hill, the investment by the owners and the talent of the winemaking team.

James Suckling 99 Points | Red currant, lead pencil and terra cotta aromas with some bay leaf and sage. Full-bodied with tight, firm tannins that are polished and very fine. Turns to graphite. Extremely long, refined, polished and exquisite. Best after 2028.

98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck | I’d wager a Napa Valley legend in the making, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon IX Estate comes from the estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill, and if there was ever a classification of terroirs in the valley, this would check in near the top of the list. Deep purple-hued, with awesome aromatics of pure cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and subtle floral hints, this has that rare mix of power and elegance that defines so many great wines. Full-bodied, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced, it has no shortage of structure and is going to need 7-8 years, if not a decade, to hit full maturity, where it will hold for 2-3 decade.

98 Points Vinous | The 2021 IX Estate is such an elegant wine. Sleek, aromatic and refined, the 2021 is one of the most polished young wines I have tasted from this site. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and mint abound. Silky and delineated, the 2021 is exceptionally beautiful and balanced. Clean saline notes and veins of tannin extend the explosive, sublime finish. 

Winemaker Description 

One of the "cult" producers to crop up in the early 1990s, Colgin Cellars' first vintage was in 1992, with fruit purchased from the Herb Lamb Vineyard, located on the lower slopes of Howell Mountain, just low enough not to be part of the Howell Mountain AVA. Colgin would later go on to buy land and develop vineyards at Tychson Hill (westside Saint Helena, purchased 1996) and IX Estate (Pritchard Hill, purchased in 1998). In 2017, Ann Colgin and her husband, Joe Wender, sold a controlling interest in Colgin Cellars to LVMH but remain active in the business.

Today, Colgin owns six acres of vines at Tychson Hill and 20 acres of vines at IX Estate, with 11 more acres there currently being developed. Cariad comes primarily from the Abreu-farmed Madrona Ranch, on the western side of Saint Helena. Director of Winemaking Allison Tauziet has been with Colgin since 2005, when she joined as assistant winemaker, so she is nearing 20 years of experience with these wines.

To put the new-release 2021s in perspective, Colgin, Wender and Tauziet presented three vintages each of the four wines reviewed this issue—2016, 2018 and 2021. I guess it will surprise no one that these are all gorgeous wines, given the positive press and numerous accolades bestowed on previous vintages, but it is encouraging to see that success and age hasn't slowed down the Colgin team's pursuit of excellence. I've included my ratings and reviews of the older vintages so readers can compare my impressions to those of my predecessor. Like many other producers, Colgin bottled no wines in 2020. 

One of the most coveted limited releases in American whiskey, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon is a masterclass in grain complexity and barrel craft. Produced at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon uses a rare mash bill of four grains — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and character. A true collector's bottle.

The E.H. Taylor Legacy

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller and legislator, Taylor was instrumental in passing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal quality standards for American whiskey. The E.H. Taylor line from Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with small-batch, meticulously crafted releases that represent the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.

Tasting Profile

Opens with an inviting, complex aroma of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and caramel corn. The palate delivers remarkable depth — layers of grain complexity, subtle smokiness, and well-integrated oak tannins. The four grains interact beautifully with the charred oak barrel, maintaining a smooth, even balance throughout. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Why Four Grain?

Most bourbons use a three-grain mash bill. The addition of a fourth grain — wheat alongside the traditional corn, rye, and malted barley — adds a layer of softness and complexity that sets this release apart. It's a rare expression that showcases Buffalo Trace's mastery of grain selection and barrel aging, and one of the most sought-after limited releases in the Taylor lineup.

Collector's Notes

The Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain is a limited annual release with extremely restricted allocation. Bottles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the full complexity to unfold.

Producer Description 

Orchard fruit notes are common to both Calvados and Scotch malt whisky. Many Calvados producers double-distil in pot stills, just like their Scottish cousins. Maturation in French oak is another aspect of their shared DNA.

These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.

Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin. 

We think you’ll agree that these two spirits really do have an affinity for one another. 

Producer Description 

Compass Box Artist Blend is a tribute to Edinburgh and all of the painters and performers, writers and restaurateurs, who call it home. Scotland’s capital city and Scotch whisky are both ideal platforms from which to create beautiful things.

The vibrancy of Artist Blend will please the palates of the most discerning single malt enthusiasts, while exacting bartenders will appreciate its versatility.

Expert Reviews 

93 Points Whisky Advocate | Honey, vanilla, poached pears in cream, driftwood bonfires, and a sprinkle of wood spices comprise a clean, focused, and well-balanced nose. A golden and silky palate of sweet honey, vanilla, white chocolate, and lemon zest, with plenty of body. Enter caramel; the smoke cuts to the front, outstripping aromatic spices, orchard fruit, and baked citrus flavors. Compelling and moreish: drink whenever it’s raining in Glasgow and you can’t go wrong.

91 Wine Enthusiast | This robust bottling is a permanent addition to the Great King range, added in 2014. Light golden in the glass, look for a lightly smoky aroma with fresh pear notes underneath. On the palate, a waft of peat smoke mingles with lemon cream, vanilla and pear, flavors supplied by Sherry cask-aged whiskies. Slight salinity sets the mouth watering. Best Buy.

Courvoisier VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) is an elegant and sensual blend of cognacs up to 10 years old from two of the finest crus in the Cognac region. It’s been expertly crafted using a minimum of 50% Grande Champagne grapes blended exclusively with Petite Champagne grapes, entitling it to carry the prestigious ‘Fine Champagne’ designation.

Producer Description 

Taste the character and craft in every drop of Cragganmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Made with malted barley, the combination of sweet floral fragrances and vanilla proceeds into the strong taste of sandalwood and sweet wood smoke for a long, malt-driven finish.

Cragganmore Scotch can count barley and Scotland’s fastest flowing river as two of its natural influences in the creation of its definitive and award-winning medium weight malt. Serve on the rocks in a tumbler or tulip glass to concentrate its flavor. Includes one 80 proof 750 mL bottle of Cragganmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Cragganmore takes its name from the mountain in whose shadow the distillery sits.

This is a whisky with many high peaks and hidden valleys of flavor. Founded by Speyside legend Big John Smith, Cragganmore was created using a pioneering flat-top pot still design to create the sweetest, most complex of malt whiskies. 

Expesrt Review

95 Points Wine Enthusiast | The succulent aroma develops with aeration in the sweet forms of barley, cream, light caramel, and a trace of tropical fruit. Palate entry is round, borderline plump, breakfast-cereal sweet, and honeyed; at midpalate, there's a slightly oily peat smoke. Sweetly concludes with the focus on the malt. Best Buy. Range: 90-95.

Producer Description 

Craigellachie 17 year old shows an evolution of the distillery style, the tropical fruit flavours are developing more exotic characters and there is an underlying sweetness as some cask development begins to show. This is a really special whisky and fun to explore, thinking about where the different flavours are coming from.

Tasting Notes by Advocacy Host Craig: Craigellachie is often referred to as 'The Bad Boy of Speyside,’ and after tasting the 17 it’s not hard to see why. Thanks to the use of traditional worm tub condensers, they produce a heavier and ‘meatier’ style of whisky.
Starting with a combination of sweet vanilla and caramelized apple, the 17 explodes with flavour when a drop of water is added, bursting forth with pineapple, citrus and lightly charred oak. It has a long finish that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Craigellachie was built in 1891 by the experienced whisky team of Peter Mackie and Alexander Edward. They needed a Single Malt as an ingredient for White Horse Blended Scotch, so the distillery was designed to produce a very specific distillery style which the team replicate to this day.

Craigellachie features some very specific production techniques: barley from an oil fired kiln giving more weight, short stills and worm tub condensers to minimise copper contact. The team do 21 mashes per week, have 8 wash backs and 4 copper pot stills.
People always talk about 'sulphur' flavours, which can be distracting. Craigellachie has a roasted brimstone character alongside a meaty quality. Way back in the 1890s Alfred Barnard described ""the chief characteristic of the Craigellachie brand is the pineapple flavour it develops with age"". This tropical fruit style is what makes the brimstone and meat flavours work, achieving a balance that gets beautifully complex in older age statements.

For the Bloody Mary lover, this is the bottle that changes everything.

Clear in the bottle, the nose is bold, zesty, and immediately appetizing — fresh tomato with real aromatic intensity.

A treat for lighter Bloody Marys, garden-inspired cocktails, or any savory drink that calls for something genuinely special.

Producer Description 

The Arroqueño plants used in this batch of mezcal are the first of his harvest; these 15+ year-old plants are characterized by their “dry espadin” flavor and produced in the ancestral style in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca.

Robles Arroqueno uses a wooden mallet to crush his cooked agaves by hand and distills them in clay pot stills. This mezcal has a deep minerality that is a result of the long-growing agaves.

Cynar (pronounced chee-nar) is one of Italy's most iconic amari — a bittersweet liqueur born in 1952 and named after the artichoke, Cynara scolymus, which gives it its distinctive character. Part of the great Italian tradition of digestive bitters, Cynar is made from a blend of artichoke leaves and 13 carefully selected herbs and botanicals, all 100% natural, infused in an alcohol base. It has become a staple of the global cocktail renaissance, beloved by bartenders for its complex, layered bitterness and remarkable versatility.

The Cynar Liqueur 70 Proof 1.0L delivers Cynar's signature bitter-herbal profile in a generous liter format. The nose is earthy and herbal with a distinctive artichoke bitterness, layered with caramel, dried herbs, and a hint of citrus. On the palate it is rich and complex — bittersweet, slightly vegetal, and deeply satisfying. Traditionally served as a digestif over ice or with soda, it is equally at home in a Cynar Spritz, a Negroni variation, or any cocktail calling for an amaro with real depth and character.

Expert Review 

The Dalmore 12 is recognized as a whisky with character far beyond its age. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, yielding soft vanilla and honey notes. A proportion of the spirit is then finessed in pinnacle Sherry casks, including 30-Year Old Matusalem Oloroso casks, exclusive to The Dalmore, to give the whisky a rich, nutty character.
