Het Anker Brewery is a Flemish brewery in Mechelen, founded in 1471 by a community of Beguines. The renowned brewery was renamed "Gouden Carolus" (Golden Charles) in 1960, after Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor who was raised in Mechelen. The brewery is home to the world-famous Gouden Carolus Tripel Belgian beer. In 2010, they constructed a fully operational whisky distillery (Distillery De Molenberg) which was built and in Blaasveld, on a 17-century family farm. Distilled from the mash of Gouden Carolus Tripel, Gouden Carolus Single Malt was launched on November 23, 2013, and has already received much critical acclaim. Gouden Carolus Belgian Single Malt Whisky is matured in first-fill bourbon casks and finished in 'Anker' oak casks, custom reworked by the cooper according to precise specifications. The result is a refined whisky with a rich and balanced taste. The subtle fruit aromas are delightfully enhanced by hints of wood and vanilla. This unique Flemish whisky has earned several accolades, including Best Belgian Single Malt at the 2018 World Whiskies Awards, first place Master at the 2017 World Whisky Masters, and a Gold Medal at the 2017 International Spirits Challenge.

Situated in the heart of Campbeltown, Glen Scotia is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. The Scotch distillery was founded by the Galbraith family in 1832. In 2014, the petite facility was purchased by the Loch Lomond Group. The distillery is quite small scale, outfitted with two 12,000 and 16,000-liter stills, with distinctive onion shapes and horizontal lyne arms. Glen Scotia's line-up showcases their versatility, as they produced a range of peated and non-peated whiskies, two styles characteristic of Campbelltown. Their malt is sourced from eastern Scotland, and are crafted in open-topped, cast iron mash tuns, and their whiskies are processed with a variation in fermentation time yielding either nuttier, or fruitier malts. Their small-batch distillation process still maintains much of the original equipment designs dating back to the 1830s. This exceptional single malt whisky was matured from specially selected casks to deliver the true character of a Glen Scotia Malt Whisky. The stunning 18 year-old has earned several awards including Gold at the 2018 World Whiskies Awards, Double Gold at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and Gold Medals at The Spirits Business in 2017 and 2018.

Maker Notes

Our lager is hand-brewed by generationally skilled artisans and is always made with only the finest ingredients to achieve superior quality. We use three malts to deliver our signature flavor profile. Our blend, infused with caramelized notes, is crisp, refreshing, and smooth. This caramel-hued, effervescent brew is only complete after a long maturation process. We don't add any artificial flavors. We use a rigorously chosen selection of clean ingredients: grain, hops, yeast, and water. And good beer is flavorful, not filling. IYLIA's lager is both modern and timeless, and it's a perfect complement, no matter the season. The IYLIA Signature Series is too good to keep bottled up.

Nestled near the village Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland inside the picturesque Glenlivet estate, at the heart of the Speyside region, sits Tomintoul Distillery. Tomintoul Distillery was built in 1964. The distillery uses traditional techniques that stretch back hundreds of years. The production is overseen by Master Distiller Robert Fleming, whose family has been making whisky in the Speyside Glenlivet region for four generations. Robert got his start in the whisky industry in 1974, where he gained experience from several different distilleries, before coming to Tomintoul, where he has been for over 20 years. Known as the "gentle dram," the distillery is surrounded by fresh air and pure water, these elements are imparted onto their whiskies, giving them a special Highland character. Tomintoul is made with natural ingredients and crafted with water sourced from the Ballantruan spring. Tomintoul uses unpeated barley to make their whiskies, with the exception of their Tomintoul Peaty Tang, a small batch peated malt made only twice a year. The purest middle part of the "run" and stored in a "spirit safe" which is under the control of "Her Majesty's Customs & Excise and so has to stay locked." The heads and tails of the spirit are re-distilled, while the pure middle bit goes back into casks to mature. Tomintoul is quite a sustainable outfit, very little gets wasted during production. Tomintoul uses oak wood for maturation, with about 2% of their whisky getting sent to the angels. They recycle the cold water used to cool the hot vapor that rises from the spirit to heat the wort. It is also mixed with the leftover barley husks and made into a syrup that is used to feed cattle. The remains that are left over after secondary distillation are also used as fertilizer for the next year's barley crop. Tomintoul has a solid core range of whiskies, aged from a 10-year-old to their vintage 1976 Single cask. The majority of Tomintoul expressions are made by meticulous marrying together of selected casks, with the exception of their Tomintoul Vintage cask, which is a single cask release. The Tomintoul 25 Year Old spent at least a quarter of a century in a selection of the finest ex-bourbon American oak casks.

In 1988, near a scenic stream called Lithia Creek in Ashland, Oregon, Jack Joyce and Bob Woodell, fraternity brothers at the University of Oregon, opened the doors of Rogue Brewery. For fifteen years, Rogue Brewery brewed beers such as Dead Guy Ale, Dad's Little Helper and Brutal IPA under the tutelage of John Maier, Rogue Brewery's brewmaster. Then, with the addition of Master Distiller John Couchot in 2003, Rogue Spirits was born. Couchot, who earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry at Evergreen State College in Washington, was a professional chemist for six years before jumping ship to make spirits. They take pride in all their whiskeys being handcrafted. This starts at the selection of grains, brewing, and distilling, then ends with aging and bottling. All Rogue's spirits are made from ingredients off their own Rogue farms and Oregon Rye Malt Whiskey is no exception. It's a handcrafted whiskey distilled in small batches with an unusual twist the rye and barley are both malted, which takes an edge off the spice notes and makes for a more approachable whiskey. Both are the same kind they use for brewing their beer: Dream Rye and Risk Malts, with the mash fermented using Pacman yeast. It is then aged for three years in new American oak barrels in the marine climate of Newport, Oregon, and bottled at 80 proof.

Unicorn Butterfly Pea Tequila is an all-natural, color-changing mixto tequila, handcrafted in small batches for a truly one-of-a-kind cocktail experience. Our tequila is proudly produced in partnership with family-owned Casa Maestri, located in Jalisco, Mexico.

CHEERS TO INNOVATION
Unicorn Butterfly Pea Tequila is distilled in Alambic Armagnacais stills with non-GMO agave. These special stills don’t filter out congeners, resulting in a handcrafted spirit with exceptionally unique body, weight, texture and flavor.

Gluten-Free | No Carbs | Zero Sugar | All Natural | Small-Batch | Family-Owned

REVEL IN BOLD, BALANCED FLAVOR
After distilling the spirit twice in small batches, we remove the heads and tails of the runs (the beginnings and ends of batches) — and the heart of the run is what we bottle.

CELEBRATE CHANGE
Our tequila’s color-changing magic comes from the infusion of all-natural butterfly pea flower. The flowers have a delicate sensitivity to pH and will react to acidity, transforming from brilliant cobalt blue to deep violet to soft pink shades.

LUXURY, DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL
After departing Jalisco, our color-changing tequila makes a stop at Cedar River Watershed, just east of Seattle, Washington in the snowy Cascade Mountain foothills. Here, it’s infused with crisp, purified mountain water that’s famous for being some of the softest water in the country.

Our tequila has a soft floral aroma, vibrant agave, and sweet citrus flavor profile, a pleasant finish — and pours cobalt blue in color.

The result is an unforgettable tequila and a truly unique drinking experience.

One wine of absolute quality
Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come.

Abundant spring rains, nearly double the annual average, saturated the soil and provided ample water for the growing season. The first signs of budbreak were observed in the vineyard on March 27th; a full 15 days later than usual. This delay led to later bloom and veraison. However, warmer temperatures toward the end of summer accelerated the fruit’s development and maturity. Picking began on September 10th, a couple of days earlier than average. Harvest lasted four weeks, and activity in the cellar proceeded at a calm and steady pace.

The Opus One 2019 has intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, black currant, and dried rose petals, accentuated by mineral undertones. The creamy, satiny texture is framed by fine-grained tannins. The freshness and soft glow of acidity create a subtle tension with dark fruit flavors, savory herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers on the finish.

Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 78%, Merlot 8%, Petit Verdot 6%, Cabernet Franc 6% and Malbec 2%

Skin Contact: 22 days

Barrel Aging: 19 months in new French oak

The principal author of the Declaration of Independence and one of the greatest Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson was elected the third President of the United States in 1800. During his tenure, Jefferson authorized the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, dispatched Lewis and Clark westward in order to explore the remainder of the continent and repealed the Whisky Excise Tax. After Jefferson retired from public office in 1815, he often tended to the garden that he had cultivated on his Monticello estate. At the time, it was customary for wealthy farmers, including Jefferson, to distill the excess grains they harvested from their farms into spirits (George Washington was one of the country's largest distillers of rye whiskey). As a result, each farmer's spirits were unique and reflected the local terrior of their farm. Made in collaboration with Chef Edward Lee of 610 Magnolia and Milkwood restaurants in Louisville, Jefferson's Chef Collaboration Straight Whiskey pays homage to the spirits Jefferson distilled over two centuries ago. "We started to think about what foods would pair well with bourbon," says Trey Zoeller, Jefferson's founder and master blender. "When we started to think about pairing whiskey with some dishes from Chef Lee's cookbook pork dishes, spicier dishes, and his fried chicken particularly it really came together." Crafted from a blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies, Jefferson's Chef Collaboration has an aroma of cherry, dried citrus and oak that gives way to notes of buttered biscuits, peaches and tart apples on the palate. Subtle touches of rye bread and spicy oak tannins linger, and lead to a finish accented by touches of citrus and cloves. We have only a handful of bottles of this whiskey available.
