The Bushmills Private Reserve Collection is a new series of small batch single malts hand selected with unique cask finishes, born from the original Irish single malt tradition that Bushmills pioneered.

This 12 Year Old single malt Irish whiskey is first matured in carefully selected bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks before finishing in tequila casks from Jalisco, Mexico.

TASTING NOTES
Creamy butterscotch leads into spiced vanilla complemented with a hint of black olive, anise and toasted oak. The legendary Bushmills malt is immediately evident with apples and sweet melon leading to a long warming vanilla entwined with anise and cinnamon finish.

The V.S.O.P. differentiates itself by a selection of apple ciders exclusively harvested in the Pays d’Auge region, a delimited terroir representing only 6% of the Normandy region. The typicity that the soil confers to the apple coupled with a double distillation in pot stills give the V.S.O.P. a rich and long palate.

TASTING NOTES

Colour: Golden brown.

Nose: Floral, apple flowers, jasmine, white rose, ripe apple, apricot.

Palate: Honey, vanilla, butterscotch, light oak, hazelnut, almonds.

Finale: Candied apple, vanilla, cinnamon.

There's near perfection in the bitter-sweet harmony which is such an enthralling feature of this truly classic whisky, as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit.

TASTING NOTES
COLOR - Chestnut brown.
NOSE - Extremely sharp and well-focused; no lingering, rambling smoke but instead a wonderful sultana sweetness.
PALATE - Crisp peat softens to enormous richness, with sweet, roasty malt and a heathery dryness. Sherry replaces the usual pepper with luscious, oily sweetness.
FINISH - Deep cocoa notes, magnificent vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Exemplary in balance between sweet and dry.
BODY - Full bodied, clean yet rich.

Created in collaboration with Americana duet Jamestown Revival, we crafted their one-of-a-kind signature bottle of whiskey. We begin with a rye made from 95% rye, 5% malted barley, then aged in charred American White Oak barrels. After aging, we add a twist – a French Oak spire, seasoned and toasted, imparting rich, hearty flavors, and notes of candied fruit, toffee, and cinnamon.

From The Brand: 

OUR TEQUILA IS 100% USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC. WE START WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY AGAVE, AND TEND TO IT BY HAND, SO THAT WE DON'T NEED TO USE ANY ADDITIVES OR CHEMICALS IN OUR PROCESS.

OUR TEQUILA IS CRAFTED AT TEQUILA LAS AMERICAS, NOM 1480. OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE MONTES FAMILY—THIRD-GENERATION AGAVE FARMERS TURNED DISTILLERS.

TEQUILA AÑEJO

Aged 12-13 months in American oak bourbon casks. Deep, complex baked agave and dark chocolate with hints of cracked pepper and toasted oak, with a lasting, lush finish.

Vera Wang x Chopin Vodka is the culmination of my long love affair with vodka in the most personal way.

The partnership between Chopin Vodka and legendary fashion designer Vera Wang is a true collaboration, born from a mutual passion for the best tasting vodka.

Chopin has long been Vera’s vodka of choice for her evening cocktail, so when she approached us with the idea of working together a natural partnership was born.

The Liquid
Vera Wang x Chopin Vodka is a vodka made from the rare Augusta potato, personally selected by Vera Wang herself. The Augusta is distinguished by the single red dot on its skin. The vodka it produces has a full floral bouquet with a hint of cucumber, a medium body and a warm, slightly piquant finish with notes of vanilla and almond.

The Bottle
The striking matte bottle in the designer’s signature black and white color palette was designed by Vera Wang. Timeless, sophisticated, unforgettable.

Three Chord states that they are first and foremost blenders. However, they recently came across a small lot of barrels and felt they should enter the bourbon community in their original form. Their Whiskey Drummer 15 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel proof (117.9 Proof). A total of 2,500 bottles were produced from the small lot of barrels. These bottles will be released in two small batches consisting of 10 barrels each.

MASH BILL: 78.5 Corn, 12.5 Rye, 9 barley

APPEARANCE: DARK COPPER

AROMA: The nose jumps out of the glass with campfire, baking spice, and dark chocolate.

TASTE: This bourbon is heavy on the pallet but surprisingly well balanced, considering its age. There is oak, but it’s not overpowering at all. Instead, notes of walnut, leather, smoke, vanilla, and allspice linger for an exceptionally long finish.

FINISH: LONG LASTING NOTES OF BROWN SUGAR, CINNAMON AND BLACK CHERRY

The Smoky Twelve is the perfect marriage of fruit,malt, oak and rich layers of smoke. Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least twelve years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and Marsala wine casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, creamy single malt, multilayered with flavours of ripened fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and warming oak spice.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Burnished gold

NOSE: Smoked vanilla, charred orange and toasted almond

TASTE: Dark chocolate, fruit peel, brown sugar and smoked oak, lingering into a cocoa and orange smoked finish

SMOKE LEVEL: Rich

RACHEL BARRIE MASTER BLENDER

"Longer maturation brings more aromatic layers to our distinctive smoky style. For me it's baked orange in a wonderful cake, fired over an open fire, with dark chocolate flavour."

Like Lillet Blanc, the main grape variety in Lillet Ros is Smillon. These wines are combined with natural liqueurs, handcrafted in Podensac from sweet and bitter oranges and berries. It is this meticulously balanced blend that gives Lillet Ros its delicate aromas. Lillet is a range of refreshing aperitifs with a smooth fruity taste.

Bottle Size: 750ml

Espadín Capón 2014 | Cándido García Cruz | Summer 2020 Release | CANESP001 | 506 Bottles

In March of 2014, Cándido and his family harvested over 100 of the largest and ripest capón Espadín magueys from their red-earthen, tierra colorada parcel known as “El Llano,” where different species of agave grow within the milpa system, side by side with food crops.  Carefully selected, these massive piñas were rested for eight days before being pit-roasted with mesquite wood for another eight days. Cándido rested the unearthed agave for eight more days, aiding the cellulose to breakdown into fermentable sugars before chopping up large cooked chunks with a machete and passing the material through a shredder. The dry fibers sat for 24 hours before the maestro deemed appropriate the addition of well water in a 50/50 agave to water ratio. Wet fermentation ran for 10 days before the fibers and guarape were ready for distillation. To adjust the final level of alcohol, Cándido composed the batch using the low percentage común from the second round of distillation, known in the region as the resaque. Cándido’s daughter Florencia helped throughout the process of composition, leaving her own particular mark on this production. The flavors and aromas are spot-on reflective of its makers, the palenque, and the land from which the maguey was grown. If you’re not yet acquainted with the expertly crafted Espadín of Miahuatlán or are already a devotee, this batch will surprise even the most jaded of palates.

For years, this special Espadín has been a favorite of ours, so it brings us great joy to be able to share the last few hundred liters with friends and agave fans in California!
