Mezcal Cómplice Espadín Orígenes is meticulously crafted by Mezcalero Humberto Hernández in San Juan del Río, Tlacolula, Oaxaca, using 100% Agave angustifolia, commonly known as Maguey Espadín. The agaves are carefully cultivated for approximately 8-10 years until they reach maturity, at which point they are harvested. Following the harvest, they undergo cooking in a traditional river-stone pit oven. The cooked agaves are then crushed using a tahona, a stone wheel operated by a horse.

After the crushing process, the agave juice ferments in oak wood vats before undergoing a double distillation in copper stills. This specific release, known as Orígenes, serves as an introductory expression within the range of Mezcal Cómplice mezcals. With a lower alcohol content of 38%, it caters to those who may not be accustomed to the strength of traditional mezcal. Notably, this mezcal exhibits enticing notes of citrus, delicate fruits, and a subtle touch of smoke.

The name Cómplice Mezcal holds a fascinating tale behind it. It revolves around a man who, one night, learned about a legendary mezcalero renowned for capturing the essence of individuals within the drops of mezcal. Driven by curiosity, the man embarked on a quest to find this master of the craft. After an extensive search, he eventually discovered the fabled teacher. Following a long conversation, the master agreed to share his secrets, establishing a mutual complicity: whenever any descendant of the man encountered the teacher, they would be taught the art of capturing a person's essence in mezcal in exchange for preserving the secret within their family. Consequently, through generations, this family has safeguarded the unique flavor and secret of Cómplice Mezcal.

COMPANY ARCHIVES

From the middle of the 19th century, John Crabbie blended his own range of whiskies. In addition to procuring large stocks of Scottish single malt whisky, from some of the finest distilleries, Crabbie signed licences to produce his own whiskies at distilleries such as Balmanech and Benrinnes. However, his commitment to the field of whisky industry stretched further, as he became involved in the creation of one of Scotland’s most iconic grain distilleries, North British, sitting on its board in its formative years. Company archives reveal hand-written record of sales sheets to companies as far afield as New York, Buenos Aires, Constantinople, and St. Vincent.

Crabbie’s glory years span from the 1830s. These were pioneering times, and it seems John Crabbie and his successors were possessed of the same self-confidence as other famous explorers were responsible for building The British Empire. Using the Port of Leith in Edinburgh as its base, the company sent its products to the world – also seeking to bring the finest world products back to Scotland. Records show that its team of drinks makers was experimenting with a vast array of fruit, grains, herbs, spices and spirits – creating new and exciting beverages.

Yardhead is the single malt whisky designed for mixing as well as sipping. Exclusively bottled from first fill bourbon casks creates a versitile flavour profile – perfect for highballs and modern whisky cocktails.

Named after the site in Leith, Edinburgh, where John Crabbie’s original distillery was located.

O.F.C. VINTAGES

Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. christened the O.F.C. Distillery in 1870 and this legendary whiskey brand has been revered ever since.  The most state-of-the-art distillery of its era featured copper fermentation vats, column stills, and a first-of-its-kind steam heating system, still used in our aging warehouses today. This very rare and collectible bourbon honors the O.F.C. Distillery, a National Historic Landmark known today as Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each hand-cut crystal bottle is vintage dated according to the specific year in which the bourbon was distilled. Enjoy this whiskey of a bygone era, sourced from barrels of yesteryear.

TASTING NOTES

Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company is a dedicated cause, acquiring some of the rarest casks from some of the finest whiskey cellars, and releasing them into the world as a cascade of limited edition, barrel-aged ambrosia. In 2013 bourbon and Tennessee whiskey were labeled the fastest growing product category by volume in the U.S. alcohol business. The Orphan bottling project was more or less an ingenious response to this boom in the whiskey industry, and an effort to accommodate the vast quantities of leftover product from their monopoly of acquisitions. When Diageo didn't have a place for the acquired product in their blends, they set the spirits aside. Time transformed this new spirit into aged delicacies. In 2013, Orphan Barrel Whiskey was created by Diageo, commercializing a large stock of ultra-aged American whiskeys that it had been maturing at the Stitzel-Weller distillery in Shively Kentucky. Orphan Barrel Muckety-Muck is a similar beast, except that it hails from across The Pond. Following in the footsteps of Forager's Keep 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, it's their first single grain Scotch and an equally well-aged one at 24 years. The spirit comes from the famous Port Dundas Distillery that operated for 2 centuries, until its closing in 2010. This liquid comes from the rare remaining stocks that offer a glimpse into the historic distillery.
