KAH Tequila Añejo is made from 100% Blue Agave and is aged in American Oak casks for at least 12 months, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

The black bottle design is inspired by the Nicaraguan tradition of Day of the Dead. In Nicaragua, in addition to the standard traditions of building a shrine and gift-giving, many people linger and sleep in the graveyard. They believe that this act re-enforces the emotional connection between them and the deceased.

Tasting notes
Powerful agave flavor accompanied by chocolate, tobacco and coffee notes.

Wilderness Trail Distillery is a craft operation that was launched in 2012 in Bold Danville, Kentucky. Mixing old traditions with modern science, they aim to create fine bourbon and other spirits. Founded by Shane Baker and Pat Heist, a pair with over 20 years of experience with fermentation and alcohol production under their belts, they craft unique spirits using locally-grown grains. Their spirits are hand-crafted and they pride themselves on being "not interested in making the most, just the best." The founders were left with several yeast strains they had collected over the years in the industry and put them to good use in the distillery. The premium corn, wheat, and rye are sourced from the nearby Caverndale Farms and Walnut Grove Farms from Adairville, Kentucky, while their malted barley comes from Louisville. The natural Kentucky limestone springwater completes the 100% Kentucky list of ingredients. Their production methods include the proprietary Infusion Mashing Process, which together with their unique yeast strains results in a softer and uniquely flavorful distillate. They are the first Kentucky bourbon distillery to use a chemical-free clean steam boiler that minimizes off flavors. Instead of sour mash, they rely on a sweet mash, which enables more flavors to be extracted from the grains. They employ a hybrid pot still, as well as two continuous column stills. All the whiskey is distilled, aged, and bottled on-site. Wilderness Trail produces bourbon, rye whiskey, vodka, and bourbon barrel-aged rum. The Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey expression employs their sweet mash process and the spirit is barrelled at 100 and 105 proof. These numbers used to be higher, so the final proof of the bottles can vary. Crafted from a mash bill of 56% Kentucky-grown Heritage rye (from the local KY Proud farm), 33% corn, and 11% malted barley, the rye whiskey is then aged for a minimum of 4 years and up to 8 years in the upper floors of their rickhouses.

The Ron Colón Salvadoreño rum used in RumRye is made from a special blend, creating a complex flavor profile. The blend includes a 6-year-old Salvadoran rum from Licorera Cihuatán distillery with aged and unaged pot-distilled rums from Worthy Park Estate, Monymusk and Hampden distilleries in Jamaica. By combining column-distilled and pot-distilled rums, the overall flavor offers contrasting characteristics that interact to create something quite unique.

Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. traces their roots back to the 1880's, to the heart of Henderson Kentucky. Peerless Whiskey was founded by a businessman with a bold personality Henry Kraver, who revived the brand from the brink of ruin in the late 1880s. Under Kraver's guidance, rose from the ashes, increasing production 25-fold. But the growth of the brand was subsequently stunted by the very unforgiving era of Prohibition. Now, a century later, Peerless Whiskey is in the hands of Kraver's great-grandson Corky Taylor and great-great-grandson Carson Taylor. Keeping Kraver's legacy alive, the duo has resurrected the brand, even distilling under the original Distilled Spirits Plant number, DSP-KY-50 in a centuries-old warehouse in downtown Louisville, near the Ohio River. Two years after releasing its flagship 2-year-old inaugural straight rye Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. has launched its first bourbon. Crafted onsite from grain to bottle, Master Distiller Caleb Kilburn used a sweet mash process and non-chill filtration to craft this landmark release for the brand. Most bourbon on the market today is "sour mash" cooked with a bit of already fermented grains (and the consistent yeast and bacteria included) from a previous distillation cycle. In contrast, "sweet mash" bourbon uses a freshly cultured batch of yeast each time. "The launch of our bourbon marks the realization of so many dreams from the team at Kentucky Peerless" says Caleb Kilburn. Aged four years this new release is bottled at a low barrel proof 108.9, a factor of both a low distillation proof and a low barrel entry proof, setting this bourbon apart from the crowd.

Purasangre Extra Añejo Tequila is made from 100% blue weber agave. After double-distillation in both a column still and a pot still, it spends five years aging in French oak. 

Established in 1836 on Recherlich Farm in Scotland's Speyside, Glenfarclas Distillery has a storied past. Bought by John Grant in 1865, it's now run by George S. Grant, the sixth generation owner. Known for its traditional methods, they use direct-heated stills for their acclaimed Glenfarclas 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Crafted from barley steeped in water from Ben Rinnes mountain, this whisky matures for 17 years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks from Spain. Its profile boasts butterscotch, cherries, honeyed oak, and a finish hinting at vanilla and coffee. Honored with a 93-point score from Wine Enthusiast, the Beverage Testing Institute, and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

With a rich history of mezcal production dating back to the 20th century, the Moreno family's passion was reignited by Carlos Moreno in 2009. Teaming up with the fifth-generation master mezcalero, Pedro Hernandez, they founded Koch El Mezcal de Oaxaca with the mission of preserving the essence of mezcal culture. The result is an exceptional and reasonably priced artisanal mezcal available in the Australian market. They've successfully brought together over 15 communities and 50 mezcal-producing families into their collective. As with all handcrafted products, each batch may exhibit slight variations. Koch El Espadin is crafted using ancestral methods that prohibit the use of metal tools, with spontaneous outdoor fermentation in sabino wood tubs and distillation through clay pot stills (Olla de Barro). The resulting product is unparalleled, representing the most traditional approach to mezcal production. It offers an aroma characterized by clay and minerality, along with hints of peach and other fruits, resulting in a creamy texture. The taste profile features sweet, fruity notes with a subtle hint of coconut, followed by herbal and spicy undertones. To fully savor this mezcal, allow it to breathe in the glass before indulging slowly.

New Amsterdam Peach offers notes of succulent peach flavor, and is rounded out with orange blossom and a touch of vanilla to create a complex and pleasant fruit profile. Its soft, refreshing mouthfeel leads to a smooth, clean finish.

THE CUVÉE

La Grande Dame 2006 is an exclusive blend of our eight classic Grands Crus: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir (53%); Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay (47%).

THE GRAPE HARVEST OF 2006
The winter was particularly cold and long. The spring was mixed, but with good conditions for budding.  The flowers opened in late June, in what was unseasonally hot weather. The summer was chaotic, with an August worthy of late autumn.  Fortunately, the vines were able to draw on their reserves, to produce an abundant yield of superb quality.

Therefore, between 14 and 29 September, we harvested a very fine crop of grapes. At the very end of picking, Botrytis struck, though it had no impact on the quality of the harvest. An effective sorting operation was carried out. 

The Pinot Noir wines are fruity and full-bodied; the Chardonnay wines are of considerable distinction. The red wines of Clos Colin in Bouzy offer a superb balance, with a rich, crisp fleshiness.

TASTING NOTES
In the mouth, it is plump and full of substance. The texture is crisp and silky. The tannins are still present, calling for a cuisine with texture to bring out the best in this wine. The finish is long and coats the palate. The tannins are already very well integrated and can be expected to blend in still further over the coming years.

ROBE: Intense colour with copper glints. Shimmery, very thin bubbles

AROMAS: Saline and mineral, Red fruits, Toasted notes

Redemption harkens back to the 17th and 18th century, a time when rye was the dominant spirit in America. After the Prohibition forced countless distilleries to close their doors, bootleggers began distilling gin instead of rye, and for good reason gin didn't require aging under the watchful eye of a master distiller and its true flavors could be hidden behind a mask of botanicals. As Americans grew accustomed to gin, rye whiskey became an anachronism. Today all that is changing and rye is having a proper renaissance. Redemption has made it their sole purpose to return rye whiskey back to its rightful place. They produce award-winning whiskeys in small batches, putting a modern twist on decades old traditions. Redemption Whiskeys are meticulously hand-crafted in the river town of Lawrenceburg, Indiana at Whisky Advocate's 2015 Distiller of the Year: the 172-year-old MGP Distillery. While Redemption produces whiskeys perfect to have neat or on the rocks, they can serve equally well as a stunning base for both the traditional and modern cocktail. They have signature bold, spicy rye notes that shine through any cocktail without overpowering the drink. The Redemption Rye Rum Cask Finish is part of their Cask Series and is a straight rye that has been finished in Caribbean rum barrels from Plantation Rum and is bottled at 94 proof. It combines the spice-forward rye with Plantation's sweet sugar cane notes for a unique flavor and experience.
