Delightful peppermint and chocolate for a seasonal finish.

About this product

Deep, intensely flavorful and velvet-smooth, our 2020 Apothic Crush is a luscious Red Blend brimming with appealing fruit character. Ripe black cherry, wild blackberry and raspberry fruit notes are layered on the inviting palate with toffee and milk chocolate. The long, lingering finish adds hints of rich, silky caramel. A blend of Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, this is a Crush that demands to be shared.

Viticulture Notes

We selected the majority of the grapes for Apothic Crush from Lodi and other bold regions in California’s Central Valley. Lodi is known as a producer of intensely concentrated, silky textured fruit. California’s 2020 vintage experienced a cool, mild growing season with an accelerated heat spell in August, resulting in early ripening. Vintage 2020 in California shows vibrant acidity and concentrated flavors.

Winemaking Notes

We harvested a majority of the grapes for our Apothic Crush at night in cool temperatures to preserve the character of the fruit. The Pinot Noir was cold soaked for 1-2 days, then fermented between 80° to 85°F. The other varieties were fermented between 86° to 90° F. To create a silky mouthfeel and toasted caramel characteristics, we aged the blend in a mixture of French and American oak.

Sweet and smokey with caramel and cornbread on the nose, blackberry jam and tobacco on the tongue and a tingling finish of cinnamon and spice.  Enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this rare gem is so perfectly aged, you’ll want to travel back in time for more.

Matured in a slightly higher proportion of Oloroso Sherry casks, this sublime 19 year old whisky is the epitome of an aged Ardbeg. Part of a highly sought-after and collectible Ardbeg series, Batch 4 is the latest expression. This sublime Traigh Bhan, like the bottles before it, inspired by Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach (pronounced tri-van). Ardbeg Traigh Bhan masterfully performs the impossible – balancing the lull and crescendo of its intense flavours. Bottled under a full moon, the tides have turned for this rare spirit as more mentholic, herbal notes rush the senses, with intense smoke left behind in its peaty wake.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma: On the nose, rising aromas of herbal pine and fennel flow into sharp notes of citrusy lime sorbet and medicinal lozenge, while eucalyptus and saddle soap follow on the breeze. A splash of water releases a cascade of hazelnut, sweet vanilla, and currants, before rich minted chocolate brings the nose to a close.

Taste: An intense wave of wood smoke crashes over the palate, leaving ripples of decadent dark chocolate and ground coffee in its wake. Sweeter notes of lemon curd and peanut brittle cut through the swell to reveal delicate hints of creamy raisin fudge and hazelnut. The allure of this rare dram continues with suggestions of more medicinal, spicy notes. Menthol, fresh lemongrass, aniseed, clove and white pepper emerge from rich, smoky depths.

Finish: Sweet and peat collide with creamy vanilla fudge, dark cocoa powder, and a warm, woody clove tingle. A sharp, intense, and satisfyingly long finish.

There’s an appetite for all things rare on Islay. Especially at Ardbeg. You’d think that the rare nature of our whisky would be enough, but it’s Islay and her oddities that really stir us.
The Ardbeg Anthology Collection is inspired by tales of unbelievable encounters – legendary brushes with the strangest creatures ever purported to stalk Islay.
Inspired by the seldom-seen Harpy – a winged beast said to inhabit Islay – this legendary edition is a first for the Distillery. The Harpy’s Tale has been matured for 13 years in rare Sauternes wine casks and married with classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon. After over a decade in the cask, soaring smoke swoops into sweetness as Ardbeg’s unmistakable character wrangles with the richness of the Sauternes casks. A supreme aged expression… the taste almost as sensational as the tale…

TASTING NOTES

Aroma: Very distinctively oily, with touches of extra virgin olive oil, sweet briar wood, aromatic herbs (coriander & sage) and a suggestion of smoked lemon peel. A splash of water releases more oiliness, like linseed oil, a gentle waxiness, and a burst of perfumed, aromatic carbolic soap, and finally, a whiff of crème brulee.

Taste: A soft, oily, mouthcoating texture leads into a rich, sweet, smoky palate, with hints of oak moss, treacle, aniseed lozenges and a lovely, sweet, woody/balsamic flavour. This is then followed by smoked apricots and eucalyptus oil.

Finish: Finally comes a lingering, sweet/smoky aftertaste, with a touch of cumin, cardamon and the merest hint of coconut.

Maker Notes

When something has nothing but upside, sailors say it’s “copper-bottomed.” As coincidence would have it, our Moscow Mule is darn near perfect. The ginger beer has just the right amount of kick. (We know because we make it ourselves.) Then we mix it with some premium vodka and a little all-natural lime. Copper-bottomed indeed.

Crafted from Austria's sour Weichsel cherry varieties, known for intense flavor, Rothman & Winter Orchard Cherry Liqueur blends harvested cherry juices with corresponding eau-de-vie. Without spice or vanilla, it preserves the cherries' vibrant essence, a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. Tasting notes reveal a vivid, ripe cherry taste with almond undertones—bold, clear, and never overly sweet or artificial.

Rothman & Winter's Orchard Apricot Liqueur is the result of a meticulous process that involves harmonizing the essence of Austria's prized Klosterneuberger apricots, freshly picked during the season, with an eau-de-vie derived from the same succulent fruit. Each year, Destillerie Purkhart thoughtfully sources their apricots from family-owned orchards nestled in the picturesque Danube Valley and its surroundings. This liqueur offers a versatile alternative to traditional "apricot brandy" or "apricot-infused brandy" in recipes, and it pairs beautifully with sparkling wine or wheat beer. You can also get creative by using it in place of triple sec to add a unique twist to your Margarita.

The Rothman & Winter assortment represents a legacy of three generations dedicated to crafting liqueurs that exude exceptional character and authenticity. Each fruit liqueur in their range commences with the fruit's very own eau-de-vie and its luscious juice, ensuring an explosion of fruit flavors. The company meticulously bottles its liqueurs with a higher alcohol content and less sugar to intensify the fruit's essence, offering endless possibilities for mixing in various beverages. Enjoy Rothman & Winter liqueurs with a glass of bubbly or a simple soda, or use them as a key ingredient in your favorite cocktails.
