Holmes Cay is an independent bottling company from New York City. Founded by New Yorker rum aficionado Eric Kaye in 2019, they focus on finding the very best rums and bottling them at cask strength. Kaye used to work as a producer and music composer for film, TV, and commercials, but has also been an avid diver for decades. His favorite pastime brought him into contact with fantastic rare Caribbean rums. He felt he needed to share these with his fellow Americans, which is how Holmes Cay came to be. Passionately standing behind the tradition and honor that is an integral part of rum, Kaye hopes to bring incredible as-of-yet-unknown unadulterated cask-strength rums to the US, introducing spirit-lovers to the best-kept secrets of the rum world. Their very first release Holmes Cay Barbados 2005 fittingly came from the legendary Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. The Holmes Cay Fiji Single Cask Rum was distilled in 2004 at the South Pacific Distilleries of Fiji. The 16-year-old pot-still rum was matured tropically in an ex-bourbon barrel for 12 years, then 4 years in the UK in an American oak cask, then bottled in 2020 at 116 proof without chill filtering. The cask yielded 240 bottles of this premium unadulterated rum.

VIRGIL KAINE
Virgil Kaine started with one goal – to create the best damn whiskey around. Drawing on their culinary know-how, and driven by flavor, founders David Szlam and Ryan Meany, both accomplished chefs, were inspired to boldly blend, infuse and tinker with choice ingredients to craft category-shattering whiskeys. Proving that it’s not about stuffy tradition, but about taking what you know and taking chances.

Each of their spirits is a tribute to their dedication to making whiskey their way. A whiskey they’d want to drink.

Chef Mindset
Founded by two accomplished chefs, Virgil Kaine started with a simple idea: Let’s take our culinary know-how and use it to make great-tasting whiskey.

Spurred on by the latest infusing and maceration tricks and techniques, chefs David and Ryan source the best ingredients and apply the experimentation of a professional kitchen to the art of whiskey making. Everything is just a means to create the most delicious whiskeys they know – regardless of what the industry expects.

True to their Southern roots, they’re honest, unpretentious whiskey makers that aim to be as approachable as they are premium. Sure, they buck the system, but Virgil Kaine Lowcountry Whiskey is for the whiskey lover looking for something a little different, a little rebellious, and above all – damn tasty.

Virgil Kaine Cherry Infused Bourbon

Pinhook was founded with the ethos of sourcing great barrels of whiskey and taking a creative and unique approach to blending and proofing. The Collaboration Series reflects our commitment to exploring the ever growing craft whiskey movement and “pinhooking” barrels based on experience, quality, a little patience, and a bit of luck.

Edition No. 3 – Jordan Salcito
In this third edition, Sean revisited his wine roots with Jordan Salcito, our 2024 collaborator. Jordan is an internationally renowned sommelier with a storied career in the wine world and at leading restaurants including Restaurant Daniel, Eleven Madison Park, and Momofuku where her wine list was named the “Most Original Wine List in the World” by World of Fine Wine Magazine. In 2016, she founded Drink RAMONA, a family of award-winning Italian spritzes. 

She bonded with Sean Josephs over their shared love of wine and backgrounds as sommeliers. Together, they blended this extraordinary Australian whisky from four distinct styles of Starward Australian Single Malt, which had been exclusively aged in red wine barrels, further bridging the worlds of wine and whiskey.

Whiskey aged in red wine barrels from Starward Distillery
Like Pinhook, Starward is known for moving beyond tradition and letting curiosity and creativity be their guide. Inspired by the famed Australian wine region in their backyard, they aged their whisky in red wine barrels and in Melbourne, Australia's notoriously wild climate. The constant change in temperature makes the barrels contract and expand at a much faster rate, leading the whisky to take on the delicious flavors from the wood.

Some years ago, Master Distiller Harlen Davis Wheatley decided to embark on a project to craft the perfect vodka. Through the commitment and meticulous craftsmanship of a dedicated team, HDW CLIX came to fruition.

TASTING NOTES

Polished and smooth upon entry, CLIX is pleasing on the nose and reminiscent of the essence of fresh nectar. Elegant in style, the exclusive character is a combination of exquisite smoothness and interesting nuance. It finishes quickly and cleanly, making for a delicate, refined and stylish drinking experience.
