Maker Notes

Colour plays a vital role in the world we live in, often used as a powerful communication tool and a form of expression. Colour evokes feeling and has a direct link to creative thinking. Crystal Head Vodka is bringing the creative spirit to life with this limited-edition Pride bottle in celebration of diversity and equality. The bottle contains our original blend, distilled 4 times from the highest quality, locally-sourced Canadian corn. Silky smooth with a hint of sweetness and vanilla. Filtered through Herkimer diamonds and blended with pristine Newfoundland water. This pure spirit is completely free from additives and made with pride.

Sourced from select low-yielding vineyards in Napa Valley, our Chardonnay is characterized by crisp apple, ripe melon and citrus flavors, gently balanced with toasty French oak. Our winemaker uses malolactic fermentation in moderation to retain the wine’s bright acidity. More than a decade after our Chardonnay put us on the map, this wine remains a classic.

Description

Rum in Montana? Yes and it is good... We fell in love with rum while spending a significant amount of time many years ago in the Caribbean island of Anguilla, learning all about different styles of rum from the original blenders of Pyrat Rum. We make our Hibiscus Coconut Rum using Louisiana Molasses and 1st cut, raw cane sugar from Columbia.

It is our blend between a Martinique Agricole Rum and a Dominican Blackstrap Rum. We ferment and distill everything at our distillery. After distillation we steep in dried Hibiscus flowers from a tea company out of Jamaica, giving it a subtle red hue and the slight astringency balances out the sweetness of the coconut. We were featured in Esquire as one of the seven flavored spirits in the world worth drinking, have been written about in Playboy and Wine Enthusiast Magazine and have won 5 medals in international spirit competitions

Foursquare Rum Distillery is located on a former sugar plantation that dates back to approximately 1720, within the tiny Caribbean island of Barbados. The distillery was re-opened by the Seale family in 1996, distilling operations and blending are currently directed by Richard Seale, 4th Generation Trader/Distiller of R.L. Seale & Co.

Exceptional Cask Selections represent the unique, and rare offerings of Foursquare Rum Distillery that Richard has hand selected – his personal projects only released when he feels they are of exceptional quality. These are one of a kind expressions, available only for a limited time, and showcasing truly unique approaches to both Rum blending and maturation.

A blend of two distinct single blended rums, both 14 years of age. One aged 5 years in Ex-Bourbon Barrels then transferred to Ex-Cognac Casks for 9 additional years, and a second aged 12 years in Ex-Bourbon Barrels then transferred into Ex-Camus Cognac Casks for an additional 2 years. Bottled at 61% ABV – 122 Proof. No sugar, no additives, no filtration.

Assassin's Creed Vodka "Valhalla Edition" is being offered by Antheum Spirits and Tennessee Legend Distillery. The bottles are designed as high-end collector's items, with each featuring a laser-engraved production number on the back. The front of the bottle showcases a stunning depiction of the iconic raven, complete with a raised metallic finish. The vodka is distilled six times and carbon filtered for a period of 24 hours to ensure a smooth taste that can compete with the most prestigious brands on the market.

This beautifully complex 30 years old single malt is a tale of two worlds. With respect for the past and a passion for the future, our 30 years old single malt brings together the old and the new. In 2019, when the distillery met its new owners, some of our precious 30 years old spirit was taken and filled into new, specially selected European Oak sherry casks where it continued its maturation for a further year. It was then carefully blended with spirit that had slumbered for all three decades in the original wood. New ownership, new Whisky Maker, new wood, 30 years old casks and aged spirit all combine to create this luxuriant single malt.

Leap into history and enjoy Edward Kenway Spiced Rum. In 1715, there was a brash, young captain named Edward Kenway. His fight for glory earned him the respect of legends like Blackbeard. Today, Antheum Spirits and Tennessee Legend Distillery honor Edward’s spirit of adventure and dauntlessness with a recipe featuring a blend of natural baking spices with strong characters of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and a hint of light vanilla notes on the finish, paying tribute to the fearless distillers of the Caribbean.

A NEW ADDITION INSPIRED BY OUR UNIQUE LANDSCAPE

The beautiful, rugged surroundings of our distillery have inspired smoke-filled aromas and flavours found in The Glenturret 7 Years Old Peat Smoked. American oak sherry seasoned casks build the confectionery sweetness from the new make spirit whilst delicate refill casks deliver the abundant smoky notes. Akin to the comforting shelter from a warm highland bothy on the fresh Loch Turret hills, the whisky’s peated character heightens and amplifies from the outside in.

WHISKY MAKER'S TASTING NOTES

SMOKE drifts in, FRUITS appear, pleasant and warming. CANDY SWEETNESS lingers and SOFT MELLOW PEAT finishes.

The Glenturret Triple Wood is a sweet and spicy yet soft whisky that builds on the distinctive fruity flavours of our new make spirit. Matured in American and European oak sherry seasoned casks alongside Bourbon barrels. The three different cask styles have been thoughtfully combined to create a whisky with an alluring golden colour and a delightful subtle character.

WHISKY MAKER'S TASTING NOTES
VIBRANT spices. PEACHES with a dash of CINNAMON and VANILLA meet with CREAMY WOOD notes leading to a SWEET OAKY FINISH.

THE HEART OF OUR RANGE

Fewer than sixty carefully selected casks come together to create The Glenturret 12 Years Old - crafted by hand and forming the heart of our range. American oak hogshead casks drive the dessert like sweetness whilst European oak layers the dried fruits and spices leading to a full rich single malt.

WHISKY MAKER'S TASTING NOTES

CARAMELISED APPLES, creamy soft VANILLA CUSTARD. FRUIT PIE with a CINNAMON glaze topped with a drizzle of CARAMEL. Maturing oak introduces itself much later.

CELEBRATING THE EVOLUTION OF FLAVOURS FROM OUR BARLEY, SPIRIT AND CASKS

Peat features heavily in our distilling history - records show that The Glenturret dug peat from the mosses at our water source for whisky production in the early 1800’s. The Glenturret 10 Years Old Peat Smoked celebrates the varying sources of peat now procured for our smoky whiskies. The smoke flavours are constantly evolving and changing through time. Our peated spirit style is matured in both first fill and second fill European and American oak casks. The resulting whisky forms a complex single malt that commands a higher strength of 50% ABV.

WHISKY MAKER'S TASTING NOTES
SWEET VANILLA, FRESH CITRUS FRUITS. Remnants of CAMPFIRE SMOKE, understated peat. SUBTLE SWEETNESS and LEMON SHERBET. Dying embers return, softly glowing and SMOKY.

ABOUT

INSPIRED BY THE FAMED MASKED WRESTLERS OF MEXICO, tequilero David Ravandi has created El Luchador, a unique, artisanal portfolio of outstanding tequila expressions: Still Strength Blanco, Blanco, Reposado and Anejo. Since his entrée into the artisanal tequila business in the mid-1990s, Ravandi has ushered several brands to international success. His El Luchador portfolio was inspired by the instantly recognizable - masks and the acrobatic showmanship of Mexico’s colorful lucha libre wrestlers. The connection between tequila and lucha libre - two of Mexico’s most treasured cultural institutions – represents a long-standing tradition, one that inspired El Luchador

El Luchador Anejo

We’ll release our Anejo which spends a total of fourteen to sixteen months resting in white oak barrels in 2022. That additional time in French white oak adds increasing layers of complexity with notes of deeply roasted agave, caramelized citrus and dark vanilla.  A release of an El Luchador Extra Anejo is scheduled within the next three years.

Scottish Ancestry - Born in the USA

To mark its 20th birthday, and to celebrate America's influence on Scotch whisky more broadly, we have brought The Peat Monster back to where it all began. We originally created a peaty whisky called Monster for the Goldstein family at Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York City, in 2003. It turned out to be so popular that we created a new batch, renamed it The Peat Monster and it joined our core range. The Peat Monster - like most Scotch whiskies – owes its maturation vessels to the US whisk(e)y industry and its practice of using casks only once.

Bottled at 56.7% ABV Not Chill-Filtered Natural Colour Lead Whiskymakers: James Saxon & Alex Driver

To highlight the art of American coopering even further, we have finished part of the whisky used for this special Limited Edition in seasoned virgin American oak barrels, made for us in Missouri. You will notice an increased presence of vanilla and cinnamon notes compared to The Peat Monster you may be familiar with.

Wherever you enjoy your whisky, join us in toasting two decades of The Peat Monster and the close whiskymaking ties linking Scotland with America.
