A rare and precious encounter. L'Or de Jean Martell is the quintessence of Martell cognacs: a unique blend of more than 400 rare eaux de vies, revealing a symphony of fresh citrus, fruit, gingerbread and precious wood.

L’Or de Jean Martell is an exceptional and complex cognac which expresses the myriad nuances of over 400 rare and precious eaux-de-vie, some of which have aged for more than a century. It is distinguished by the encounter of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and the Borderies, the smallest and most exclusive terroir in the Cognac region, which create a blend of elegance, richness and power.

The jewel bottle, whose shape evokes a drop in which the cognac is enclosed and protected is made of precious crystal.

Product Discovery

The Color: Intense amber with shimmering mahogany highlights.

The Aroma: Citrus notes like bergamot and orange peel, the full-fruit harmony of dark berries and blackcurrants, the gingerbread notes of clove and cinnamon embraced by vanilla, and the scent of oriental forests with its woody notes of myrrh, undergrowth and rancio.

The Taste: A silky-smooth and subtle attack is followed by richer, more substantial flavours. Harmonious notes of blackcurrant and woodland undergrowth encounter tones of gingerbread and orange peel. Long-aged Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie bring strength and structure, prolonged into an exquisite, lingering finish.

Hennessy Paradis Rare Cognac is is the product of more than 200 different cognacs that have been aged in Hennessy's cellars for up to a century. The cognacs are blended and allowed to age slowly in old oak casks, a process that gives Hennessy Paradis its rare, fine aroma and golden color. The taste is characterized by flavorful fruits such as pear, apricot, and raisin, with rose, iris, and lily floral accents. This exceptional cognac should be enjoyed neat in a crystal tulip glass.

Casa Obsidiana tequila is forged from the earth’s elements, bringing together the collective heritage and passion of two families, the Beckmanns and the Boissets. An ode to Mexican cubism, our Añejo bottle’s rich red color represents the ironrich volcanic earth of our estate agave fields.

Each Casa Obsidiana vessel is handmade by Mexican artisans and ceramists and eloquently designed with Divine Porportion, also known as the Golden Ratio, in mind. The obsidian stone comes from the base of el Volcán de Tequila, nestled among the volcanic earth that nurtures our estate-grown Blue Weber agave. Each stone is carefully hand carved and polished by Mexican lapidary artisans. The Reposado’s obsidian stone equals the Golden Ratio measurement of 1.618 inches in diameter. The Blanco and Anejo obsidian stones are in Divine Proportion to each other, bringing the three stones together in perfect harmony of the Golden Ratio.

AGING: Finished 15 months in French oak casks that once held Napa Valley Chardonnay

LA CEPA MADRE: Beckmann Proprietary Strain, Aged 45 Years

MASTER DISTILLER: Certified Maestro Tequilero, Francisco Quijano

COLOR: Deep Golden Hue

AROMA: Oak, Coffee, Clove, Candied Citrus

PALATE: Butterscotch, Cinnamon, Raisons, Roasted Agave

The Glenlivet's Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, has a wealth of quality casks to choose from when creating this complex expression, each of which has rested a minimum of 18 years in oak. The mix of casks - American and European oak, first and second fill - all play their parts to create this whisky, our single most awarded expression, and its unique character. The European oak adds spicy notes and complexity and the first-fill American oak casks add the tropical fruitiness that makes it unmistakably The Glenlivet in style. Its golden hue bears testimony to its 18 years very well spent maturing.

Creating this exceptional whisky requires craftsmanship and mastery of centuries old traditions.

The finest raw ingredients, mastery of the art of distilling premier spirits and the selection of only the finest oak casks, each over 25 years of age and chosen at the peak of maturation.

The casks are married together in batches and then finished in sherry casks for final flourish of spice, depth and complexity.

One of our oldest whiskeys ever bottled is also the first WhistlePig product finished in Vermont Estate Oak. Harvested right off our farm the wood has more rings than the standard American oak used in whiskey barrels. That gives it more opportunity to impart deeper flavors during maturation. Hitting the bottle at 92-proof, the liquid is assertive and wise beyond its 15 year age statement. And it boasts a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast. So we’re clearly not the only ones enamored by this pure expression of Green Mountain goodness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Deep and rich, dominated by caramel, vanilla, and oak with hints of allspice and burnt orange

Palate: Warm, rich, and slightly creamy. Loads of butterscotch and baking spice with leather and a hint of tobacco

Finish: Ultra long and rich, warm, and inviting

Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as “nectar.” The 12 years of aging and medium proof seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep.

Tasting Notes

See a brilliant, amber-orange color. Smell luscious, complex toffee. Taste a round, supple entry, leading to a dry, expansive, medium body. Enjoy notes of caramel, nuts, and brown spices with a lengthy, enveloping finish. It’s an outrageously smooth and decadent bourbon.

Tasting Notes

Nose
A succulent medley of exotic fruits, mango, pineapple, blood orange, and ripe red berries are complemented by fresh herbs, aromatic oils, and wood spices. Vanilla sweetness and treacle toffee add to the richness, while walnuts and toasted oak acknowledge the contribution from a supreme cask selection.

Taste
Incredibly rich in texture with a luxuriously fruity introduction. Ripe red-fleshed plums, black cherries, and summer berries are balanced by the prickle of a hint of chili oil. The taste evolves as cherry menthol introduces vanilla and cinnamon sweet spices combined with red pepper, nutmeg, and toasted oak for an intriguing complexity.

Finish
A satisfyingly long balance of ripe fruit and wood spices, worthy of a journey of nearly three decades.

Straight Rye Whiskey has experienced a strong resurgence in the American whiskey landscape, yet Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was making this style more than 100 years ago. This small batch, Bottled-in-Bond 100 proof straight rye whiskey pays tribute to the former Distillery owner with a unique rye whiskey reminiscent of days long past.

TASTING NOTES

An altogether different recipe and profile than Sazerac Rye, this recipe contains just rye and malted barley, no corn. The result is an aroma full of dried fruit, black pepper, and a touch of fresh dill. A small sip brings an array of flavors both sweet and savory with a terrific balance of dark spices and subtle caramel overtones. The finish is especially pleasing with an oaky dryness that lingers just long enough.

"Simply spectacular!" - John Paddon, blind tasting notes - 2015 International Whisky Competition

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the bourbon industry, fighting for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, nearly three decades after he purchased what is now called Buffalo Trace Distillery. During his time, Taylor implemented several innovative methods still used today, including climate controlled aging warehouses. Many of the barrels selected for the E.H. Taylor, Jr. Single Barrel are aged in Warehouse C, which was built by Taylor in 1881 and proven to be an excellent aging warehouse. Each barrel is hand-picked and Bottled in Bond at 100 proof to honor its namesake. 

Barrel pick may vary, the available pick will be shipped

TASTING NOTES

The aroma carries lightly toasted oak, with dried figs and butterscotch. One sip brings flavors of sweetness balanced with tobacco and dark spices. The finish is just long enough to prepare the palate for another sip. The bottle itself is a likeness to Colonel Taylor's original design used over a century ago.
