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.

Redbreast Lustau Edtion was born of a unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery. The result is the ultimate sherried style of Redbreast.

A unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Lustau Edition is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills. Having spent its final maturation journey in casks seasoned with the finest Oloroso Sherry in the Bodegas Lustau, the result is the ultimate sherried style of Redbreast.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich infusion of dark fruits, prunes, dates, and figs with licorice, marzipan, toasted oak, and aromatic spices.

Taste: Silky smooth Pot Still; assertive spices balanced with the richness of the sherry finish and contribution of fresh Spanish Oak.

Finish: Endless. Sweetness and assorted spices endure while Oloroso Sherry and Spanish Oak have the last word.

Maker Notes

Our Sonoma County Cabernet is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes, sourced from the stunning vineyards of the Sonoma Valley AVA and Alexander Valley AVA. Aged in 100% French Oak for 18 months, this wine has a deep ruby color and rich hue, with a nose of dark fruits like blueberry, plum, and raspberry. Lush tannins give this wine a long, elegant finish.

TASTING AND DETAILS

In collaboration with renowned Winemaker Tom Hinde, Vanderpump Wines continue a tradition of excellence in Sonoma, and combine our love of the traditional Old World style with the incredible bounty that California has to offer. 

VINIFICATION

All of our fruit is hand sorted and fully destemmed to small stainless steel tanks. Cold soaks (5-7 days), warm fermentations (85-90 degrees), and twice-daily pump overs were done this year in order to express the vintage. Total skin contact ranged from 19-34 days with all fermentations being carefully basket pressed and put to barrel on full fermentation lees for malolactic. Native yeasts and malolactic used with only small lots conducted using cultured Bordeaux isolates.

Aged in 100% French Oak for 18 months. 14.2% ABV.

88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot.

COLOR: Deep ruby color and rich hue.

NOSE: Complex with dark fruit flavors. Blueberry, rich plum, and red raspberry are apparent.

PALATE: Lush tannins with a long elegant finish.

A small-batch whiskey and is the first Blue Run product with Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge serving as the contracted Master Distiller (on all previous Blue Run products, except Golden Rye, Jim served as the Liquid Advisor). Jim distilled this batch at Castle & Key Distillery.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is pralines and orange peel. There are hints of bright cherry and tobacco. Brown sugar and nuttiness start to shine on the palate. There is s little bit of white pepper but its well-balanced. It slowly moves to stone fruit and dried apricot. The finish is long. As the finish progresses there's herbal white tea, peach and clove.

Maker Notes

Cambio is on a mission to create a higher standard in premium tequila by exploring small quality changes throughout the spirit's creation.

We approached our Tequila Blanco with a higher set of standards, going beyond traditional expectations every step of the way. First, our whole Blue Weber Agave piñas are roasted slow and low for superior flavors, then the rich juice is extracted from the pulp using only a traditional Tahona stone wheel. Our slower fermentation process utilizes extremely low temperatures and wine yeasts in American white oak and Mexican pine lined fermentation tanks—a step few others have ever even considered. Finally, our tequila spends time in used French oak wine barrels, giving the finished spirit a level of complexity and character unlike any other Blanco.

TASTING NOTES

Fruity and rich with notes of butterscotch, honey-roasted agave, orange peel, guava and peach with a slight mineral undertone. Soft and pleasant on the palate with a clean lingering finish—even at 46% ABV

Port Finish – World’s Best Rye Whiskey

Tasting Notes

PROOF: 101.2 (50.6% ABV)

AGE: 4 - 5 Years

Founded in 1982 by German-born J?rg Rupf, St. George Spirits is one of the oldest craft distilleries in the United States. The distillery, housed in an old World War II airplane hangar on a former naval base on the edge of San Francisco, is home to Lance Winters, nuclear engineer, mad scientist and St. George's master distiller, and Dave Smith, St. George's chief blender. Winters and Smith, who are widely-known for experimenting with different types of spirits, have a laboratory dominated by a 10-liter test still, which sits adjacent to the glass beakers and graduated cylinders that cover every inch of their counterspace. Next to the dusty chalkboards caked with equations for the conversion of sugar to alcohol and intricate diagrams of molecular structures are bottles of experimental whiskies, vodkas and even an aging balsamic vinegar (it's 14 years old already). After 30 years of producing their own spirits, St. George Spirits has developed a wicked hobby barrel thieving. Breaking & Entering Bourbon is the product of Winters and Smith going deep into the rickhouses of Kentucky's most venerable bourbon distilleries and selecting 300-plus barrels of bourbon to bring back to California. After sampling each individual barrel (which took three months alone) and experimenting with different blends, Winters and Smith settled on a recipe made up of 80 different barrels, each ranging in age from five to seven years. The result is a criminally delicious bourbon with notes of maple, banana, brown sugar and cinnamon. "We like to think of our spirits as parties in a bottle, and the label is the invitation," says Winters.

RUM OLD FASHIONED

Over two hundred years old, the Old Fashioned is the very definition of a “cocktail”: a combination of spirits, sugar, water and bitters. And while this classic is typically made with whiskey, it can in fact be made with almost any base spirit. We make our Canned Old Fashioned with a long-aged, full-flavored, “whiskey-drinker” rum: 5 Years Barbados aged rum, which we combine with Xaymaca Special Dry pot stilled rum, a touch of sugar, and a dash of Bittered Sling’s Malagasy chocolate bitters. The result is a 100% all-natural, gluten-free Old Fashioned in a Can masterpiece.

Serve our Rum Old Fashioned over ice, misted with orange oil and garnished with orange peel.

24.6% ABV ✴ 178 CALORIES PER SERVING. AVAILABLE IN 200MLS CANS.

Weeks of tweaking led us to this combination of tropically fruity malt whiskies from the Glen Elgin and Speyburn distilleries, together with whiskies influenced by Oloroso Sherry casks. Single malt from the Ardmore Distillery lends a herbal Highland peat note.

This is sure to delight fans of warm and vibrant whiskies, whether synaesthetic or not. Though 2019 feels a very long time ago, we are delighted to finally share Mannie’s vision of delicious whisky with the world.

What does a colour taste like?

The Circle is our international bartender competition; it serves as a kind of symposium in which the bar world and whiskymakers can come together to share ideas. ‘Is it possible to make a whisky that evokes the colour of coral?’ was the idea Mannie Monaghan, 2019’s winner, posed to us.

It wasn’t until after Mannie Monaghan won our international bartender programme The Circle in 2019, and we began working on a whisky together, that we learned he is synaesthetic. Mannie wanted his whisky to evoke a particular colour – coral – and so began a unique whisky-making project.

Affecting roughly 4% of the population, those with synaesthesia often experience a blending of their senses – for Mannie, aromas and flavours reveal a spectrum of colour. Not being synaesthetic ourselves, Mannie spent two lengthy sessions in the Blending Rooms, scouring sample boxes for whiskies that matched the warmth and powerful positivity of Living Coral.

FLAVOUR PROFILE (FOR NON-SYNAESTHETES)

We love the bright pineapple and stewed peach aromas that leap out of the glass. The flavour is of vanilla, honey and sultanas soaked in Cognac.

BACARDÍ Limón rum named after the Spanish word for lemon. But it gets its fresh flavor from a blend of three citrus fruits; lemon, lime and grapefruit. So what does it taste like? Sunshine!

Aged for 4 years in new small American Oak Barrels medium toast and medium char.

Mash bill: 57% corn, 38% rye, 5% Malted Barley

Sourced from one of our highest elevation vineyards, the 2013 Rockfall Cabernet Sauvignon features a vibrant wildness that aptly expresses its rugged growing site above the fogline. Bold aromas of Santa Rosa plum, black cherry, and dark chocolate overlay nuanced undercurrents of mountain scrub, bramble, and toasty brown baking spice. This powerful wine’s classically savory palate also displays hints of blackberry cobbler and sweet tobacco leaf in 2013, which lie in perfect balance to its generous structure and velvety tannin profile.

The Midnight Moon Party Pack is a delightful assortment of flavored moonshine, ideal for any nocturnal celebration. With its smooth taste and versatility, it adds an element of excitement to gatherings, ensuring a memorable night under the stars.

A delicious, natural tonic with a uniquely clean and refreshing taste. Subtle botanicals like hand-pressed bitter orange oil from Tanzania blend with pure cane sugar and real quinine sourced from the Congo for a bitter taste balanced by a soft citrus finish.

Quinine is the key ingredient, and the essential bitterness, in tonic water. The brand name Fever-Tree was chosen as it is the colloquial name for the cinchona tree, the bark of which produces quinine. After much research, a specific type of fever tree plantation (known as Cinchona ledgeriana) located on the Rwanda/Congo border, was found to be producing the purest quinine in the world. There was no other option but to source Fever-Tree's quinine from this plantation - the only drinks company to be doing so.

A classic wine icon for thirty vintages – one of America’s favorite Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignons.

VINEYARDS

The predominant source for our J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon program is our vineyard located directly opposite our J. Lohr Paso Robles Wine Center, plus two newer sites just to the north (J. Lohr Sinclair and J. Lohr Jones ranches). The original Seven Oaks vineyard was planted on its own rootstock, utilizing some of the indigenous Estrella clones widely planted in Paso Robles. The soils in our vineyards vary from gravelly clay loam to limestone-based, over a relatively small parcel of land; various rootstock and clonal combinations have been used to maximize the expression of each individual site and the eventual wine’s layered complexity.

VINIFICATION

Maturation: 12 months aging in 60-gallon American oak barrels, 18% new

Barrel type: Predominantly medium-plus toasted Missouri and Minnesota oak, with toasted heads

CELLARING

Balanced and fruit forward upon release, with adequate structure to age seven years or longer.
