A rich bright red to crimson color, this wine has an intense nose with lifted vanilla aromatics balanced with red currants, violets, and mulberry fruits. It is a wine that is firm and full on the palate with a subtle sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and complement subtle flavours of red currants, dark cherries, and chocolate. The palate is filled with dark berry fruit and the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.

About the Brand

Real Minero is a family-operated producer of mezcal that is famed in Mexico and over the globe as one of the finest producers of the spirit. They are based in Santa Catarina Minas, where they employ traditional practices in making only around 300 liters of mezcal per month. They started distilling in the 1970s but the family has been involved in the farming of agaves far longer. Their mezcal is certified organic and they participate in programs that deal with agave reforestation. They have played a large role in bringing back several types of agaves that were thought to be extinct. Today, Edgar Angeles has had the baton passed to him by his late father Don Lorenzo Angeles and continues making the finest mezcal. Their mezcal is made in small batches using small 70-liter clay pot stills. The Mezcal Real Minero Largo is crafted by Mezcalero Edgar Angeles from 100% 14-year-old Largo agaves, which is an extremely rare species of the Karwinski family. The spirit is rested in glass before being bottled, which softens the profile considerably. It's fruity and tropical, yet delicate and mineral-rich a beautiful, premium spirit that is laced with tradition.

Territorially located in the central zone of the state of Oaxaca, in the Central Valleys Region, our community was originally indigenous, although the inhabitants of the surrounding towns spoke or speak the Zapotec language. In this context, it is peculiar that in Santa Catrina Minas today there is no presence of Zapotec speakers and the population is mestizo.

Our town is known by the name of Santa Catarina Minas, in honor of Santa Catarina de Alejandría, martyr of the years 307 AD. Due to the mineral abundance of its mountains, the population enjoyed its peak before the conquest; ironically this mineral wealth was part of its decline.

The first written reference to our community is found in the Book of the priest José Antonio Gay, which documents the visit of the judge Galdós from Valencia, to receive the complaint of more than eight thousand indigenous people who presented evidence of the mistreatment to which they were subjected. by the Spaniards, owners of the mines that existed there, which remained active until the beginning of the 20th century.

OUR BARREL RESTED GIN IS THE CAT’S PAJAMAS!
Distilled with over 20 botanicals and then barrel-aged in French oak, the popular Old Tom Gin from our Distiller’s Workshop collection is now part of our permanent line of spirits. And, with a fancy new label! 

Distilled and aged in-house
New Deal Old Tom Gin is pot-distilled in-house from 100% grain. Juniper, rose petal, citrus, and orris root add depth and texture. Each small batch ages in Oregon wine barrels, developing warm, toasted notes and an amber color. Our Old Tom Gin is just lightly sweetened in the traditional style.

Platinum medal winner!
We’re proud to announce that New Deal Old Tom Gin was awarded the best-in-class Platinum Medal in Sip Magazine’s 2021 Best of the Northwest spirits competition. 

What is Old Tom Gin? There are no exact rules but Old Tom is a gin that is often barrel aged and lightly sweetened. Before the advent of the column still, spirits were often much cruder and it was common to add sweetening agents to make them more palatable. And palatable this gin was indeed! Before London Dry Gin stole the show, Old Tom Gin was the gin of choice in 18th century England. In fact, it was so popular that it led to a gin craze that was seen as problematic in the eyes of the government. Several prohibitive laws were passed to slow consumption but this only drove the gin scene underground.

How did Old Tom Gin get its name? Well, like the history of many cocktails and spirits, nobody knows the exact answer but there are several theories. Some think an old tom cat fell into a vat of gin. Yikes. Others say that two men named Tom worked at a distillery, one young and one old, and that Old Tom was the one that invented this style of gin. The most fun theory seems to center around a wooden cat. Since gin was nearly outlawed, pubs secretly selling this ‘mothers ruin’ would alert interested parties to its availability by putting a wooden plaque of a cat outside their building. After a coin was deposited through a slot in the wall, the bartender would slyly pour a shot through a pipe out to the patron. This is the story we like to believe.

Enjoy it on ice with an orange twist or in a number of classic Old Tom cocktails.

Matured in American Bourbon barrels and meticulously finished in Indian Cabernet Sauvignon casks for the first time in History resulting in a unique expression with an impeccable balance.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Typical tropical fruity note of Rampur with added notes of apricot, blackberry & plum followed with a faint hint of tobacco and spices.

PALATE: Velvety, manuka honey sweetness highlighted by spicy oak, vanilla and balanced with dryness from Indian red wine.

FINISH: The Indian trail lingers with a medium finish. Tantalizingly long, lingering and generous.

Founded in 1952, the Kumesen Syuzo Distilling Co began distilling spirits made from Long Grain Indica Rice and fermented with native Black Koji. By 1989 Kumesen began to finish their product in Bourbon casks and Kujira was born. Now after 20 years of aging, Kujira Single Grain Rice Whisky has been perfected. Where others supplement grain whisky to increase production, Kujira Single Grain 20 Year is 100% Japanese with Rice from a single distillery, produced in small batches with the same ingredients and centuries old tradition that make Okinawa special.

RYUKYU IS TO JAPANESE RICE WHISKY AS KENTUCKY IS TO BOURBON
The Ryukyu region of Japan is quickly becoming the hub for quality Japanese Whisky due to the pure water supply and ancient techniques.

OBTAINIUM is exactly what the name implies. We “obtain” barrels from distilleries all over the world. Including the US, Europe, Canada, and The Caribbean. We source these spirits of varying types, light whiskey, rye, bourbon, etc. to create our own blends and products. These products are bottled at either barrel strength or blended to create our signature flavors. That being said, all of our creations, whether it’s a single barrel bottling or one of our blended products, will be unique either to that particular barrel or batch. No two will ever be “exactly” the same. We strive to ensure flavor consistency
throughout every batch of our blends to give our fans confidence and the comfort of familiarity. That paired with slight variances in each batch, brings a sense of anticipation for the next batch.

OBTAINIUM Canadian Whiskey Our OBTAINIUM Canadian Whisky is a 26 year, 100% corn whisky. Distilled at around 160 proof, aged in used Rye casks by Palliser Distillery. Each barrel is bottled individually at barrel strength (unless proofing down is required by state).

OBTAINIUM Light Whiskey came into existence in 1968 because consumers were moving away from Bourbon and more into clear spirits such as vodka or gin. Light whiskey is distilled between160-190 proof. Contrast that with Bourbon or American Rye which tops out at 160 proof. It must be aged in used, charred oak barrels or new, uncharred oak. Most distilleries didn’t let it age very long. Sourced from MGP in Indiana.

TASTING NOTES

Together with sons John Alexander Dewar and Tommy Dewar, these three men changed the course of whisky history, and created some mighty fine products along the way.

Maker Notes

Our Spiced Roselle Gin pays homage to the Central Highlands of Việt Nam. Inspired by Vietnamese traditional fruit liqueurs, our Spiced Roselle uses the Rose Myrtle berry-quả Sim, which grows wild in the Central Highlands.

The Central Highlands of Việt Nam are well-known for their red basalt soils. This fertile earth, rich in iron from long silent volcanoes nourishes a vast array of plant species, among them coffee, tea, and silk. It is home to majestic waterfalls, untouched primary forests, longhouses, Gong culture, Dam San epic poetry, and elephant training. Where indigenous groups - Jarai, Bahnar, and more, have been called home for centuries. Where animist beliefs are still part of everyday life. It is a gin that truly embodies the land’s spirit: warm spices, sweet and savory roots, dried fruits, balanced with soft tannins, and subtle acidity. It inherits a rich ruby color from the Sim berries, reminiscent of the red soils from which they grow and the traditional textiles of the people here. 

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Cinnamon, dried blood plum and cherry, hint of anise, pepper and ginger

PALATE: Full bodied, soft tannins and subtle acidity, sweet berry warm spices

FINISH: Dried fruits, gentle fleeting wood, spices and root

Montana is full of natural beauty. Many native plants adorn the landscape (including Great Basin Wildrye). These trees and plants help create Montana’s unique look, feel and for those in the know, also its unique taste. At Wildrye Distilling, our philosophy is to let Montana’s unique flora define the flavor and aroma of our spirits.

Wildrye Distilling specializes in the production of unique distilled spirits prepared, whenever possible, from Montana-grown ingredients. Rather than importing raw materials from out-of-state to try and imitate established liquor styles, we use local ingredients to create spirits that have their own unique Montana style and taste.

This philosophy not only allows us to produce spirit styles that are unique to Montana, it reduces our carbon footprint while helping to support local agriculture, and the Montana economy. Although we don’t produce traditional distilled spirits, we do respect time-honored, production methods. All of our products are made from healthy ingredients and are chemical and preservative free. Wildrye Distilling products are hand-made and bottled in Bozeman, we even grow, and pick our own sweetcorn for our Five Drops Bourbon Whiskey on our family farm in Corvallis Montana.

In 1900, the Garnet Mining News touted Five Drops tincture as “The Pleasantest Most Powerful and Effective Never-Failing Tonic” for nearly everything. In a gesture to Montana history, we have created Five Drops Bourbon.

Our Family has grown sweetcorn in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley for nearly 40 years. This handcrafted bourbon whiskey puts a new twist on time-honored tradition by using our family’s finest Montana sweetcorn, fresh from the field. Five Drops is Mashed with a hint of malted barley using pure Montana water, distilled on our custom built equipment, and aged in new American oak. The result is an unbelievably smooth, flavor and aroma-rich Montana Bourbon Whiskey.

We age our Five Drops Bourbon Whiskey in SMALL CHARRED OAK BARRELS in a warehouse in Montana with no temperature control. This means high surface area (more wood touching less whiskey) and large temperature changes (hot in the summer, cold in the winter).

This is part of the reason why (the rest is a trade secret) we can create such a smooth, tasty bourbon in a shorter than usual period of time. With Wildrye’s special RED LETTER aging method, 1 year is similar to four years in a traditional barrel house. Don’t believe us? Take the Pepsi challenge.

The family behind the founder is truly passionate about artisanal tequila; the kind of tequila our ancestors once made and consumed themselves, sip by sip. They knew there was more to tequila than the party drink image that most brands portray today. Therefore, they wanted to pass this knowledge on to their children and motivate them to produce and enjoy only the highest quality tequila possible. A top quality tequila, so true to its roots and pure in every sense of the word. A tequila that could boldly compete with the strongest brands and stand its ground for its authenticity in flavour and body. Hoping to be the smoothest tequila on the market, Suave Premium Tequila was destined to be born.

The young entrepreneur ventured with this project in mind, and met Jaime Villalobos Sauza. Jaime came from one of the oldest tequila families in the industry; Sauza Tequila was founded by its predecessors. However, the brand’s family name was later sold to investors who marketed the product worldwide, thus sacrificing its quality. As a result, Jaime sought to honour his ancestors by developing the highest quality and most natural premium tequila possible. Jaime, in fact, spent several years gaining more experience in the industry as an official tequila catador. Later he became the president of ONSOM: the Organization of Sommeliers of Mexico. This background prompted Jaime to join forces with the young entrepreneur and to produce the most distinctive, organic, kosher-certified, and additive-free sipping tequila the industry has ever known.

 Suave Blanco aged in American oak barrels for 28 days (a complete lunar cycle). Suave Lunar gladly closes the gap between a Blanco and a Reposado with a balanced barrel and agave character.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A harmonious tequila with sweet vanilla beans, buttermilk, salted caramel and a fresh aroma of green apples.

Palate: Dominant notes of vanilla with well-rounded hints of barrel toast, light to medium fruity body with mild acidity.

Finish: Soft aftertaste with hints of barrel toast and smoked agave.
