"It's the classic, sweet, fruit-laden style of Benriach. Luscious orchard fruit on a base of beautiful vanilla cream and pastry, that for me is The Original Ten."

The story of Nevada H & C Distilling Co. begins in 2004 when the screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh met co-founder Aaron Chepenik in a bar in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. They quickly realized they had the same vision of opening a bar, opening The Griffin together. After a couple years of sampling their inventory, they began discussing what they liked and didn't like about the bourbons and vodkas they were selling. One night, the idea of creating their own spirits popped up, which eventually led to them opening the first distillery in the city of Las Vegas. The City Council had to create a license especially for them since none existed beforehand. It took them 6 years of gathering equipment and setting it up, with several hurdles along the way. The bright side was that by the time they opened their doors they had several high-rye bourbons ready, which meant they could begin operating immediately. They have two brands under their belt now, both with several medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Silver Dollar American Vodka and Smoke Wagon. 

The Anecdotes of Ages Collection is an extraordinary art and whisky collaboration with globally renowned British pop artist, Sir Peter Blake.

The collaboration is The Macallan’s third with the iconic artist, and is part of a relationship that has spanned almost four decades. The partnership celebrates our rich legacy and Sir Peter Blake’s remarkable contribution to the art world.

This special single malt whisky has been created to commemorate Sir Peter Blake’s visit to The Macallan Estate on the legendary River Spey. An Estate, A Community, and A Distillery tells the story of some of the colourful characters from The Macallan’s past and present and features a label digitally designed by Sir Peter himself.

The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker, Sarah Burgess, was inspired by Sir Peter Blake’s character to create a whisky classic in style with surprising notes of treacle and black pepper.

THE EXPERIENCE

Basically, everything Stauning does, in one bottle. A bit of smoke, a bit of spice, and a lot of complexity in a versatile Nordic whisky.

An extremely versatile whisky: For the full undiluted experience, drink it neat like a scotch, add ice for a bourbon/rye feel or spice up your classic whisky-based cocktail with a Nordic chaotic twist.

A liquid interpretation of freshly baked Danish rye bread. A Nordic rye whisky with dark and roasted aromas and a long fruity aftertaste.

This is a different kind of rye whisky. The combination of malted rye and barley and pot still distillation makes this a smooth, fruity and full-bodied whisky.

Mexico City Extra Dry Gin.

Formulated to encapsulate a sunny Mexican afternoon; Golden hour with friends, where the evening’s unwritten possibilities expand; Mexican springtime in a bottle.

Xoconostle y Azahar is a clean, bright, fragrant and intriguing expression of gin, combining indigenous desert cactus fruit with the floral notes of orange blossom and the zest of Mexican limes.   

Infused with prickly pear, orange blossom, raspberry, juniper berries, coriander seeds and lime.

BOTANICALS

PRICKLY PEAR: Xoconostle. Mexico’s coat of arms bears an eagle perched on top of a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. The design is rooted in the legend that the Aztecs would know where to build their city Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) when they saw this scene.

ORANGE BLOSSOM: Azahar. One of the rare plants that blooms and bears fruit at the same time, the sun-colored orange tree evokes the abundance of a springtime afternoon.
