One wine of absolute quality
Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come.

The vineyards enjoyed idyllic growing conditions with consistent weather and milder temperatures in 2018. The beginning of the year was notably dry; however, well-timed rainfall just before budbreak provided the necessary water for canopy development. Flawless conditions ensued during flowering and fruit set which led to higher-than-average yields. While the season got off to a later start, veraison occurred only seven days later than the average which gave the fruit the necessary time to ripen perfectly. Harvest began on September 19th with a steady pace that continued until the last fruit arrived on October 25th.

The Opus One 2018 offers profuse aromas of blackberry, cassis and black cherry. Elegant notes of violets, white pepper and rose petals follow and together they deliver a very seductive bouquet. The seamlessly layered flavors build to a crescendo of fresh and juicy black-fruit, accented with hints of orange zest, licorice and dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced, the smooth round tannins and fresh acidity combine to create a soft, creamy mouthfeel and extend the flavors into a long persistent finish.

Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 84%, Petit Verdot 6%, Merlot 5%, Cabernet Franc 4% and Malbec 1%

Skin Contact: 18 days

Barrel Aging: 17 months in new French oak

The Bushmills Private Reserve Collection is a new series of small batch single malts hand selected with unique cask finishes, born from the original Irish single malt tradition that Bushmills pioneered. This 10 Year Old single malt Irish whiskey is first matured in carefully selected bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks for 6 years before finishing for a minimum of 4 years in first fill Pomerol Bordeaux casks.

TASTING NOTES

While the bourbon casks impart rich hints of vanilla and oak, the sherry casks infuse the whiskey with notes of dried fruits and spice, and the Bordeaux casks add subtle notes of currants, resulting in a whiskey of intense character.

A silk like blend of herbal and citrus notes that assemble the freshness of anise, green mint and subtle sweet tones of naturally caramelized agave. Enjoy neat, on the rocks or in elevated cocktail recipes.

Launched in 2023, Daniel Weller is an experimental line exploring the impact of different strains of wheat on its storied bourbons, inspired by and named after the trailblazer of the Weller family. This exciting extension of the original wheated bourbon brand demonstrates Buffalo Trace Distillery’s excellence in innovation while honoring a forefather of American whiskey, Daniel Weller – grandfather to William Larue Weller – and the family distilling traditions he passed down to the generations of whiskey pioneers that followed him. The inaugural release is made with Emmer wheat, an ancient Egyptian grain that’s rarely seen in modern-day stills. Aged for nearly 12 years and bottled at 94 proof, the nose is fresh and nutty, with notes of orange zest, hazelnut, cinnamon and caramel; the palate a well-rounded blend of bold oak, sweet honey and orchard fruits with a complex oak-forward finish complemented by baking spice and leather notes.

ABOUT DANIEL WELLER
While William Larue (W.L.) Weller’s place in whiskey history is widely known as one of the first to sell a “wheated” bourbon in Kentucky, his grandfather’s story has yet to be shared. After fighting in The Revolutionary War, Daniel Weller embarked on a flatboat voyage down the Ohio River with his wife and children, ultimately settling in Kentucky in 1794. Following in his father Johannes Weller’s footsteps, who distilled rye whiskey used as currency in early American barter economy, he soon began producing whiskey and leased his still to proprietors like Jacob Hirsch to supplement his income. When Daniel passed away in 1807, he left no will, requiring his son Samuel to purchase his stills and equipment to continue the family legacy, which he would ultimately pass down to his son William Larue, founder of W.L. Weller & Sons. The Daniel Weller experimental line is inspired by Daniel and his pioneering spirit, with plans to release one limited expression every other year, when each experiment is deemed ready for bottling by Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley.

Maker Notes

Our Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon is inspired by Heather, the wife of our founder, Kaveh Zamanian. Elegant, sweet, and charming, she is the muse behind our brand. A Louisville native, she introduced Kaveh to Bourbon, luring him away from his beloved Scotch and down a rabbit hole he may have never dared alone.

This super-premium Straight Bourbon Whiskey is carefully crafted by taking our fine wheated bourbon aged in alligator char barrels and resting it in handselected Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain's renown Casknolia Cooperage. The resulting whiskey is an unmistakably balanced expression that blends modern and traditional whiskey making.

Meet Heigold, our latest Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with high rye. Enjoy its enticing aroma of toasted malt, silky butterscotch palate, and peppery finish at 95 proof. Crafted with precision in charred American White Oak barrels, it pays homage to a 1800s German stonecutter. Aged over 3 years in Kentucky, it develops butterscotch, baking spices, and a deep caramel hue – the essence of the American dream. Aromas of root beer, cherries, and a chewy palate with notes of orange and cinnamon complete this exceptional bourbon experience. Perfect neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.

Another winning addition to our current range, the anCnoc 24 Years Old has been bottled in its most natural form – neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and as a result may develop a light haze with the addition of water or if kept at a cold temperature.  This haze is a natural characteristic of whisky that is non chill-filtered.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Vintage amber.

NOSE: Densely sweet and spicy with a cosy embrace of Christmas cake. Rich yet crisp with notes of vanilla, set toffee and lemon juice.

TASTE: Spiciness continues with hints of candied orange slices, warm honey and worn leather filling the mouth with a symphony of maturity.

Luxardo Bitter is obtained from a separate infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and citrus fruits in water and alcohol.
Such infusions are then blended together according a Luxardo Family original recipe before being filtered and bottled. Bright red in color, herbal and citrusy aromas meet distinctive gentian and wormwood flavors, which distinguish Luxardo Bitter. Ideal for many classic cocktails such as Americano or Negroni, it can also be enjoyed neat or over ice as an aperitivo. Try it as well hard shaken and double strained in a coupette, you’ll have the perfect “Shakerato”.

At the base of Mount Veeder lies a one-of-a-kind winegrowing region known as “Los Carneros.” Here, cooling breezes and daily fog from the San Pablo Bay combine with the region’s clay loam soils to produce the perfect conditions for growing Chardonnay. The grapes develop slowly in Carneros, ripening evenly to produce wines of rare  expressiveness. When we decided it was time for Mount Veeder to release a Chardonnay, we knew that it had to be from Carneros — but we wanted it to be uniquely our own. After exploring all the region had to offer, we selected fruit from a vineyard whose Chardonnay grapes flawlessly emulate Mount Veeder’s mountain style. The resulting wine offers rich layers of fruit balanced by a fresh, vibrant acidity.

TASTING NOTES
Pale gold with aromas of ripe, golden orchard fruits, fresh banana, and pineapple, with a touch of caramel and vanilla. The palate is round and clean with bright acidity and a flinty finish of crisp minerality.

Maker Notes

The grapes for our Il Ducale wine come from the most prestigious wine-growing regions of Tuscany, including Ruffino's estate vineyards. After we ferment the wine in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for eight days, it receives extended grape skin contact for another eight to 10 days for deep colour and concentrated flavours. We age this wine for 12 months in oak casks of first, second and third use.

IL DUCALE RED BLEND

Color:  Ruby red with violet reflections.

Aroma:  Il Ducale shows notes of cassis, cherries, plums, and chocolate, which then fade into aromas of vanilla, tobacco, vanilla, eucalyptus, and spice.

Tasting profile:  The wine opens with fruit-driven notes that unfold into round, elegant tannins. This well-balanced wine finishes with ripe fruits and aromas of vanilla and balsamic herbs. Il Ducale is a modern Tuscan wine born from Ruffino’s century-old winemaking traditions.

Gran Gala explores the world of the finest brandies of Italy and France. The name Gran Gala, which began in the port city of Triestes, Italy in 1884, conveys sophistication, elegance and artistry.
