Every great idea starts with a challenge.

Ours was simple: fine aged tequilas were not widely available in America.

It was on a trip to Mexico in the 90’s where QUI co-founder, Medhat discovered his passion for fine aged tequilas. He came to love their incredible flavor and wonderfully smooth finish. He wanted to bring that world best taste and exclusivity back to New York. The problem? These luxurious liquors were something that could rarely be enjoyed as their price point was just beyond the reach of so many.

QUI was established with the aim of not only creating the finest sipping tequilas on the market, but also making them accessible to more people, not less. Our mission has led us to create an exceptional, award-winning and simply luxurious range of liquors.

To create our tequilas, we discard the heads and tails of each distillation, using only the heart, which is the very best. It gave rise to QUI from the word te-QUI-la.

QUI SELECT is the exquisite new addition to our portfolio of beautiful extra añejo tequilas. This one of a kind extra añejo has been aged in a blend of hand-selected Tennessee Whiskey, French Bordeaux, and Sherry Casks for 7 years! 

Experience notes of caramel, tobacco, and coconut in this beautiful extra añejo with a creamy soft finish.  Additive-free.

For the series’ second release, Pinhook has partnered with Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery and 2014 James Beard Award winner, to produce an artfully structured high-proof, high-rye bourbon. This special collaboration will fund 20 scholarships in brewing and distilling to people of color through the Michael J. Jackson Foundation, of which Oliver is chair. Blended and proofed from 20 pinhooked barrels out of Still Austin. Aged for 4 years in the Texas heat, which speeds aging and results in a whiskey with a maturity that far exceeds its time in the barrel. In Pinhook’s Collaboration Series, we partner with luminaries working in other sensory-rich fields to produce vintages that epitomize the curiosity-based approach Pinhook was founded on: sourcing great barrels of whiskey and meticulously crafting the blend and proof to bring out their finest characteristics. By exploring the possibilities of whiskey from varied perspectives, the Series’ collaborators invariably hit on something new and exciting.

Maker Notes

THE BENROMACH STORY

We are a traditional Speyside distillery owned by a family of whisky-lovers intent on making single malt the right way with true character. We keep things simple. A handful of distillers relying entirely on our expertise and senses to make the finest handmade whisky; Speyside single malt matured exclusively in first-fill casks, with a subtly smoky character. It takes just four ingredients – barley, water, yeast, and a human touch. All of our casks are hand-filled, individually weighed, stenciled by hand, and stowed in our traditional dunnage warehouses. Why? Because at Benromach we believe making whisky by hand guarantees genuine character.

OUR HISTORY

Our family, the Urquharts of Elgin, have always been passionate about whisky. Our ancestor John began laying down casks of single malt at different distilleries in 1915, when everyone else was blending their whiskies. It was the realization of a long-held dream when we acquired Benromach Distillery in 1993. Five years of meticulous refitting of the distillery followed before HRH Prince Charles officially reopened our doors in 1998. Time well spent creating a style of single malt reminiscent of the days before commercial maltings. A time when Speyside distilleries malted their own barley using peat to fuel the fires and impart a distinctive touch of smoke to their whiskies. The resurrection of Benromach Distillery signaled the rediscovery of a lost style of Speyside single malt.

FIRST-FILL BOURBON AND SHERRY CASK Aged 21 Years

Matured in the finest hand-selected first-fill oak casks, our TWENTY ONE YEAR OLD single malt delivers sweet Sherry aromas. Subtle spice, Seville orange and raspberry follow with a soft smoky finish.

The wine is made using grapes from select vineyards in the Sonoma Coast region, which is known for its cool climate and maritime influence. This unique climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a wine with bright acidity and intense flavors.

On the nose, Chalk Hill Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2021 Wine offers aromas of tropical fruit, including pineapple and mango, as well as notes of lemon and pear. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak, which add complexity to the wine.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of ripe fruit, including apple and pear, and a creamy texture that comes from aging the wine in oak barrels. The wine has a long and satisfying finish, with a hint of minerality that adds a refreshing touch.

What sets Chalk Hill Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2021 Wine apart from other Chardonnays is its balance and elegance. The wine has a perfect balance of fruit and acidity, which gives it a refreshing quality that is perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes.

Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Distilled Gin blends the exotic Rangpur lime with ginger and bay leaves for a spectacularly fresh flavour. Rangpur limes, a rare fruit originating from India, carry all the zest of lime and the juiciness of mandarin oranges, elevating Tanqueray’s perfect balance of four classic gin botanicals - piney juniper, peppery coriander, aromatic angelica, and sweet licorice. The unique taste of rare Rangpur limes makes this award-winning gin the best kept secret of the British-Indian tradition.

Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Distilled Gin is best enjoyed with plenty of ice, premium tonic water, and a wedge of lime.

Made as Nature and Time Intended from the Finest Highlands Agave

Cierto Tequila represents thousands of years of biological and cultural evolution. It is nature’s ritual in a glass –no additives, no artificial ingredients, no shortcuts. Our Master Distillers, Enrique Fonseca and Sergio Mendoza, are fourth- and fifth-generation agaveros, whose family has grown agave since the 1800s. Like fine winemakers who farm the land themselves, their growers' lens and deep knowledge of agave make for the best tasting Tequila. The truth is right here in Jalisco.

Cierto is made with fully mature, estate-grown agave from the Atotonilco Highlands, where the ancient red clay soil coaxes its roots to grow deeper and absorb its complex minerality. Enrique and Sergio personally tend to each orchard, harvesting plant-by-plant only when they recognize it has reached its potential, at the Maduro and Pinto stages. At La Tequileña distillery in the town of Tequila, agave is hand-cut and slowly cooked in low pressure ovens to yield the juice that forms Cierto's base.

Inspired by Scotch whisky-making, we distill twice, in copper pots and column stills, to showcase the natural character of the terroir and agave.

Cierto is made with pure water filtered through ancient volcanic springs at the Volcán de Tequila. Only natural ingredients are used: water, yeast and agave. Nothing artificial is ever added to Cierto. It takes time to perfect a great Tequila. Our aged tequilas are gently matured in French Limousin oak casks which previously held fine wine, cognac and Armagnac – persuading the agave’s delicate essence to emerge. Each blend includes rare tequilas from the Fonseca family’s private tequila library, a vast collection spanning a variety of cellar characteristics.

DESCRIPTION

Cierto Private Collection Reposado is an incredible demonstration of what a Reposado can become when properly aged in the right conditions. The aroma is light with hints of butterscotch and cooked agave. Aged in French Limousin oak casks, this expression is smooth and rich, with flavors that begin with agave then turn to caramel and finish with a rich cinnamon spice. A wonderful accompaniment to any dinner.

"A delicate reposado tequila with an incredibly light and silky texture that expresses great refinement."

STORY

At Four Pillars, we’ve always had a well-known love of bright flavours and the cornucopia of great Australian-grown citrus.

It started with oranges in Rare Dry Gin, finger limes in Navy Strength Gin and continued through blood orange, grapefruit, cumquat and bergamot – the list goes on. In fact, if you can name a citrus, chances are we’ve distilled it.

Over the past four or five years, there’s been another citrus slowly edging its way into our hearts. It’s yellow and looks pretty ugly (it’s all in the eye of the beholder, of course) but it tastes and distills great. Yep, we’re talking about the mighty yuzu.

FRESH YUZU GIN

We've had a thing for yuzu for a while now, and with three limited-edition trial runs under our belts, we're ready to launch the newest member of our core range: a stand-alone, honed and perfected Fresh Yuzu Gin. A bright, aromatic and (yes) fresh dry gin made with locally-grown yuzu and inspired by our adventures making gin with Japanese friends.
