This fine Cognac is produced in the Jonzac region of France from grapes grown in the Grand Champagne and Petite Champagne terroirs. Intensely deep amber with shimmering hues of gold.  A subtle bouquet of dried fruit and oakiness, along with a touch of vanilla. Exceptionally expressive and lingering.  A wonderful balance between delicacy and full bodied-ness, with added complexity of notes of fruit and wood. This 25-year-old cognac is presented in a luxurious, cut crystal decanter with delicate ornamentation. It is exceptionally harmonious and elegant, a true reflection of the superior aging conditions of the eau-de-vies used for this sophisticated blend. Double-distilled in a traditional swan neck still and aged for a minimum of TWENTY FIVE YEARS in oak casks from the Limousin and Troncais forests.

To be savored slowly and patiently after a meal. This Cognac should be reserved for a special circle of friends and family with whom you wish to share treasured memories.

Tasting Notes

Nose : Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too;

Taste : The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is oaky vanilla - hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolute resonates through the palate;

Finish : A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit;

Bottle Size: 750ml

The 2020 Vintage Micro-Cuvée No. 1 is a still, organic cider distinguished by its golden orange color.  It is fermented for at least 3 months in oak barrels that previously aged Calvados AOC.  This aging process reinforces the level of alcohol and tannins in the finished cider.  A very fine, fruity taste.  5.5% alc/vol. 
Maison Hérout follows the cider-making tradition of their ancestors – their ciders are all organic and fermented naturally with indigenous yeast.  The bubbles are the result of a natural effervescence and occur in the bottle.  Maison Hérout ciders are not pasteurized or carbonated.  Gluten – Free and vegan.
The Orchards
Maison Herout has 25 acres of apple orchards. The average age of the apple trees varies according to the parcels (10 to 65 years old). More than 25 varieties of apples are grown including Rouge de Cantepie, one of the original apples grown in the orchards.  The soil is maintained by being completely covered with grass.
The Terroir
The orchards are situated on the Armorican Massive which is composed of schist and sandstone sediment as well as granite from the primary eras.  With a silty coating, the soils are slightly sandy and pebbly sandy and drain very quickly.
The Production
After grating the apples to obtain the “marc de pommes”, the grated apples are then crushed into a pulp, then pressed.  The resulting pressed juice rests for 3 to 5 days to become naturally clear. This clear juice is then fermented for at least 3 months in barrels that previously held Calvados AOC.  After bottling, the cider then continues fermenting for at least another 2 months so that the natural bubbles can form – leading to a rich, thick robe of foamy bubbles that are the hallmark of Maison Hérout.

Their rich, fruity malt is then slowly condensed in wooden worm tubs that sit outside among the rooftops, before being aged in oak casks for at least 14 years. The taste is a combination of light smoke, medium richness and appetizing spice.

From the Scottish frontier between the West Highlands and the Islands, Oban 14 Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is perfect for a Father's Day or Christmas gift, or to mark a Housewarming, Bachelor Party, Retirement or Business Deal.

Cascade Moon isn’t about whisky memes or tropes, it’s about art, expression and the enjoyment of whisky.

We named our limited editions Cascade Moon as a nod to our history of our whisky being ‘as mellow as moonlight’ and nights together at our impressive Tennessee location. Taking cues from the vintage advertising of Cascade Hollow and the world of George Dickel our new brand strikes a balance between tradition and the contemporary.

Nose is bright and fruity, with notes of raspberries, pineapple and coconut. Surprising savory grain character on the palate with a hint of brothy salinity, and a delicate finish.

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

Starting with our full-bodied bourbon whiskey, we macerate Oregon Dark Cherries, vanilla and orange to create a perfectly infused bourbon that is easy to sip. With a rich cherry flavor on the front and a smooth vanilla finish, it’s delicious on its own or can be enjoyed in a number of classic whiskey cocktails.

In 1898, Teddy Roosevelt a Long Island native organized the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, commonly known as the "Rough Riders," in preparation for the Spanish-American War. The regiment comprised 1,250 volunteers from across the country, including cowboys, Native Americans and other pioneers of the West. After seeing action in Cuba, the Rough Riders earned a decisive victory at the Battle of San Juan Hill before returning to Long Island. Upon their return, the soldiers celebrated their victory and presented Colonel Roosevelt with a small bronze statue of a cowboy riding a bucking horse. "There could have been no more appropriate gift from such a regiment," wrote Roosevelt later. "Most of them looked upon the bronze with the critical eyes of professionals. I doubt if there was any regiment in the world which contained so large a number of men able to ride the wildest and most dangerous horses." Crafted by Long Island Spirits, Rough Rider The Big Stick Cask Strength Rye Whiskey pays homage to Roosevelt's First United States Volunteer Cavalry, and reminds us of the President's old foreign policy adage, Speak softly and carry a big stick. The whiskey is crafted from 100% Long Island winter rye, which is planted on local farms to maintain the sustainable characteristics of the soils following the harvesting of Long Island's iconic potatoes. Aged in 30-gallon American oak barrels, Rough Rider The Big Stick Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is micro-blended from just eight barrels before being bottled at 121 proof. Rough Rider The Big Stick Cask Strength Rye Whiskey has an aroma of toasted rye bread, marmalade and cinnamon sugar, which leads to notes of malt chocolate and chile peppers on the palate. The finish is a touch warm and very smooth. "It's part of the pioneer spirit to try to do something by putting your own signature on it," says Richard Stabile, Long Island Spirits founder and master distiller.

He didn't have much, but what he did have was passion, and after sharing his vision with a powerful local businessman he was granted a loan to create his first tequila distillery.
