Known for taking the road less traveled, Michael David Winery has always stood apart from the crowd. Whether it be their outlandish brands and packaging or their quirky personalities, Michael and David are definitely on a stage of their own and this wine showcases just that. The fruit for this wine comes from the original “super freak” himself, Michael Phillips’ Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard located only a medicine balls toss away from the winery.

On the Rocks Premium Cocktails was launched in 2016 by Andrew Gill, Patrick Halbert, and Rocco Milano in Dallas, Texas with the idea to bring the cocktail bar experience into the comfort of your home. They produce premium craft ready-to-drink cocktails using the finest natural ingredients and proper spirits. Their aim is to bring the whole experience of having a consistently perfect cocktail, without the need for multiple ingredients and equipment, and without sacrificing taste. No preservatives are added and the range is sweetened with cane sugar only. After securing several partnership deals with airlines and hotels that recognized the quality of the product the list includes Four Seasons, Hyatt, Hilton, and Hawaiian Airlines the company took off in a big way. "My focus was to create bar-quality cocktails that had balance and subtlety of character making cocktails that have layers of complexity rather than being overly sweet, boozy, or otherwise. We operate under the belief that good is the enemy of great. We kept working on our drinks until we had great drinks," says co-founder and mixologist-in-chief Rocco Milano. After Beam Suntory joined to provide quality branded spirits for their cocktails, the road was paved for a smash hit. "We couldnt be happier to have gained a partner like Beam Suntory. Their partnership will help us grow our business much faster, and our collaboration will mean that our hand-crafted, quality cocktails will also include some of the world's finest premium spirits," said Halbert of the partnership. Right now their lineup consists of The Old Fashioned, The Aviation, The Mai Tai, The Cosmopolitan, Jalapeo Pineapple Margarita, and The Margarita. On the Rocks The Old Fashioned keeps the recipe simple when creating their take on this timeless classic. It contains a generous amount of high-rye Knob Creek Bourbon Whiskey, bitters, cane sugar, orange, cherry, and lemon zest. At 70 proof it's the strongest of all their offerings and is made to retain its strength when ice is added, letting the whiskey shine throughout. Grab a bottle today!

The Officer's Releases is a limited edition series that pays tribute to Admiral Rodney, a well-recognized British naval officer who distinguished himself in 1782 during one of the most memorable battles in the Caribbean, "The Battle of the Saintes". The first edition of the series, Admiral Rodney Officer's Releases N°. 1, is an artful blend in the tradition of Saint Lucian rum. This limited edition is distilled and matured in the tropical climate of Saint Lucia and expertly composed by Master Blender Evanius Harris.

DISTILLATION

Admiral Rodney Officer's Releases n ° 1 begins with rums extracted from the lowest extraction plate of ou r "Coffey Still", allowing for a magnificent body and balance of aromas that intensify and become more complex during aging.

AGING

The rum was placed into ex-Bourbon oak casks in 2006 and matured for 13 years, fol lowed by a finishing period in ex-Port barrels for 9 months.

TASTING NOTES

Bright mahogany hue in the glass. On the nose, there is an exotic combination of dried prunes, spicy vanilla, and toasted oak. The palate is intense with candied fruit, dark chocolate, licorice, and tobacco. The integrated oak gives definition and balance to an extended complex finish.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Our namesake is the legendary poet and iconoclast François Villon (born in 1431), who penned some of France’s most enduring works before disappearing in the late 15th century. The poet’s enigmatic views and tumultuous lifestyle are still evocative and modern, centuries after his death, date and place unknown. Like our namesake, we are rebels.

THE BLEND

Crafted in the heart of beautiful southwestern France, Villon represents a revolution of France’s oldest and most renowned spirits.

Villon is distilled and blended according to a unique, closely-guarded family recipe. It’s smooth, balanced and complex, with luxurious aromas of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak.

THE BOTTLE

The Villon experience begins with the bottle. Our stunning black glass bottle is made from high-end, heavyweight glass with silver and white décor. A tarnished silver “snake and dagger” medallion is the centerpiece of the bottle. An eye-catching, heavyweight embossed stopper and gorgeous embossed details on the rear and bottom of the bottle complete a luxurious package that stands apart from any other liquor in your collection.

In our opinion, Villon is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube, but is equally well-suited to countless cocktails. Visit our Cocktails page to learn more.

Villon Awarded 96 points

“With notes of hazelnut, chocolate, and molasses mingling with dried fruit, vanilla, and spices. It is, in a word, fantastic, either on the rocks or in a cocktail. Don’t miss this one.” - Tasting Panel Magazine (2021)

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.

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

Tasting Notes

PALATE: Bold black cherry jam with dark fruits. A dry finish complimented with a touch of smooth caramel.

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.

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!

SMOKY MARGARITA

Our Smoky Margarita takes the iconic Margarita to the next level with the addition of one of our favorite spirits, mezcal.
