Kystin Secrèt Ice Cider is one of the most intriguing ciders coming out of France right now.  Many of our customers have told us they've never tasted anything like it.
A garnet amber color warms up your senses before you experience the heavenly flavors of baked apple, dried cherry, dried mango and a fleeting hint of ripe banana. The perfectly balanced acid on the finish provides an unexpected grand finale.  

Kystin Secrèt Ice Cider is produced by letting apples freeze on the tree in orchards in Sweden.  The frozen apples are then picked and transported whole to Brittany where Sasha Crommar presses the apples, then ferments and filters the pressed apple juice, transforming into this magical elixir.   
Presented in a beautiful 750ml bottle with Celtic runes on the label. The bottle alone is worthy of a place in your home bar.  

750ml, 10% alc/vol.  

Note: Why use apples from Sweden?  Because the orchards in Normandy and Brittany don't freeze often or long enough to produce the kind of frozen apple Sasha is seeking.

Josephine is still to this day known as the Bootleg lady of Glacier Park in Montana. We honor her with an exclusive lot of Straight Rye out of Tennessee, which is then perfected with the same pure Rocky Mountain water that she would have used 100 years ago.

In 1974, when A. H. HIRSCH first imagined his now legendary bourbon, he set the gold standard for thoughtful American whiskey. Today, HIRSCH continues to pursue whiskey as an explorer might consider uncharted territory. We believe the world is full of possibility, there’s always room for discovery, and craft is best balanced with experimentation. With obsessively discerning selections, HIRSCH continues to blaze trails for the adventurous.

The Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an exclusive HIRSCH release finished in 30-Year-Old Hine Cognac XO barrels, in Bardstown, Kentucky. It’s rich, complex, and a well-rounded whiskey. This expression was brought from a collaboration between HIRSCH Selected Whiskeys and Hine Cognac.

HINE COGNAC Internationally acclaimed for its blends, vintage and extra old cognacs, the 259-year-old cognac house takes pride in its unequalled collection of exceptional cognacs dating back to the 1800s. For us at HIRSCH, this is a unique collaboration with one of the most prestigious Cognac distilleries.

​54 barrels of our 6-year-old bourbon were selected to finish in 30-year-old XO Hine Cognac casks for 18 months, adding subtle yet noticeable character of Cognac to our bourbon. This unique expression has a mash bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley. On the nose, it offers notes of dusty cherry and charred citrus with a palate of over ripe stone fruit, fresh raisin, soft heat, and finishes dry yet flavors continue to develop.

​

The Skelly Collection brings together two key elements of the Mexican culture: tequila and calaveras (skulls); inspired by one of the most important national symbols celebrating our ancestors in the Dia de Los Muertos. Calaveras decorate cemeteries, altars, houses and corners in Mexico and has become a symbol of Mexican pop-culture. 

REPOSADO
An authentic 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila made in the Traditional Method. Produced with fully mature 7-10 year agave from 50% Highlands and 50% Lowlands of Jalisco, slow-roasted in brick ovens, slow-fermented, never diffused, roller press extraction, double distilled, Bourbon Barrel Aged 6 months, and additive free.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Initial nosing passes are orange blossom, with some basil evolving to hazelnut & nutmeg.

Palate: Palate entry is properly tart, acidic and lean; mid-palate features a strong firmly structured texture and flavor of honey oak, and vanilla bean yet with herbal agave notes still present.

Finish: Finishes long, with both some toffee and vegetal notes. A reposado whose naturally sweet disposition is its finest asset.New Paragraph

In the early 1970s, German universities popularized a delectable concoction made from apple juice and grain spirit (korn), which soon became the favored choice for igniting parties. The delightful "Apfelkorn" cocktail was subsequently introduced as a pre-mixed offering, conveniently available in various bottle sizes. Situated near one of Germany's renowned fruit-growing regions, the Schoenauer Distillery was among the trailblazers in distributing Apfelkorn to retailers and bars.

This 15 years straight bourbon features rye spice, hints of cherry, vanilla, and oak.

Maker Notes

ARTISANAL DOUBLE BARREL: Puntagave Artisanal Double Barrel is a limited-edition extension to our Ultra-Premium Artisanal line. This special edition was created in collaboration with Mexican artists COCOLVU, numbered editions are a program to showcase our search for great tasting profiles and we plan to make one batch every year. 

This first edition of Puntagave Double Barrel is the product of a two-step aging process. The first involves aging the tequila in used American oak barrels for 1 year. Then we transfer half of the batch to a New American oak barrel using the Pennsylvania famous "Nadalie cooperative" Symphony toast barrels. Meanwhile, the other half goes to new French oak barrels (Natalie, Expression Rouge) from the forest of Allier France for another year. After that we blend them together to create this unique offering. This extra aging creates a tequila with an extremely rich texture, pleasant and complex aromas, and a dark amber color. The complexity that the double barrel acquires does not lose the cooked agave, spice, and floral notes you get intensified in our silver expression. Recommended pouring in a rock glass. Add nothing. Experience the best of both worlds.

Exuding an aromatic, mineral, and lively character, the Market Collection Pinot Gris 2022 Wine offers subtle citrus and floral notes. It boasts a dry palate with crisp acidity, delivering a fresh and lively mouthfeel dominated by citrus flavors, including lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit, ending on a floral note with hints of freshly sliced green apple. The grapes underwent a lengthy, cool fermentation with skin contact in stainless steel at 15°C (59°F) for three weeks. This wine is perfect for sipping on its own or paired with light fare like hummus, grilled veggies, seasonal salads, fruit, grilled chicken, and seafood, making it an ideal choice for relaxed gatherings and picnics. The 2020 vintage has been a silver lining for Ontario wine enthusiasts, marked by ideal weather conditions and fruitful vineyards at the Pillitteri Estate.

Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka starts with the base of our award-winning Original vodka, real grapefruit juice, and lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar for a deliciously tart, refreshing taste!

Distillery Information

Born in Austin, Deep Eddy Vodka is handcrafted in small batches at our Texas distillery using only premium ingredients.

The first-ever offering from Caymus Vineyards, this wine embodies a California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon – smooth, deep, and opulent, showcasing the distinctive characteristics of Caymus. It originates from various locations across the state that boast perfect climatic conditions, soils, and landscapes specifically favorable for Cabernet. This venture is born from enthusiasm for California's varied vineyard terrain, often found in less explored regions, with the promise of crafting extraordinary Cabernet.

Tanduay has been crafting Asian rum since 1854, bringing a mysterious Eastern twist to the spirit. Headquartered in the Philippines, its origins go back to a distillery from Hagonoy, Bulacan, that was bought in 1856 by Ynchausti y Compaia, a multi-national company that was owned by the Ynchausti family, the seal of which still decorates their bottles today. By the 1900s the production had moved to the Manila distillery, and the brand Tanduay Rhum was formed, named after the area in which the distillery was located. The rum was produced in the significantly upgraded distillery in Manila until 2013, when it was decommissioned and the production moved to a much larger facility in the Philippines, capable of producing 100,000 cases each day. Since 1999 Tanduay Distillers, Inc. is owned by LT Group, Inc. In 2011, Tanduay was the 7th largest spirits brand in the world. Today their operation spans 4 plants that take care of aging, compounding, and bottling. At the heart of their lineup is an award-winning 5-year-old rum that matures in charred oak barrels. The brand has received over a hundred various awards over the years and sells over 20 million cases each year, making it one of the best-selling rum brands in the world. Tanduay Double Rum is a blend of rums that are aged between 5 and 16 years. After their initial period of aging, they are blended together and left to marry for an additional 2 years in ex-bourbon barrels, which gives the different juices time for the aromas and flavors to come together. This deluxe offering from Tanduay is bottled at 80 proof and has an exquisite balance of dried tropical fruits, nutty overtones, as well as vanilla and oak notes.

Maker Notes

Pure Milk Vodka. World's smoothest.
Black Cow is the world's first Pure Milk Vodka. Made from the milk of grass grazed cows, it has an exceptionally smooth and creamy character. Sip neat, or mix in a long drink or cocktail. We make our vodka in West Dorset from the milk of cows that graze on the fields surrounding the Black Cow distillery. Black Cow is the original spirit to champion sustainability: it is whey, a by-product of the cheese-making process, that makes our vodka so gloriously smooth. Dairy farmer Jason Barber and artist Paul Archard recognised the potential of milk vodka back in 2011. By combining the ancient Mongolian tradition of making alcohol from fermented milk, with the Northern European tradition of making high proof, clear, clean vodka they were able to develop an innovative, unique and superior tasting vodka, made entirely from the milk of cows.

Distillery Information: Absolut is produced in Hus, L.O. Smith's birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won't change, neither will the true taste of vodka.

Born on September 5, 1850, Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was the youngest of ten children. His parents were of Scottish and Irish descent. In 1864 Jack learned the art of whiskey making from the preacher and an enslaved man named Nathan "Nearest" Green. Nearest eventually became Jack Daniel Distillery's head distiller. Daniel's distillery founded in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1866 was the first registered distillery in the country (at the time, distilleries were required to register with the federal government, and the Jack Daniel Distillery was given Registered Distillery Number 1). Today, Jack Daniel Distillery is one of the most distinguished and recognizable names in the spirits industry. Among all their offerings Jack Daniel's Black Label stands out as the instantly recognizable, iconic classic and the brand's flagship. It accounts for 96% of Jack Daniel's sales, making it the best selling whiskey in the world. While the true meaning behind the "Old No. 7" on the label was lost with Daniel's death, it is known that it won 7 gold medals in a very different time. It received its very first at the 1904 World's Fair in St Louis, Missouri, where the spirit reigned supreme over 24 others from across the globe a sign of things to come. The most important step in its creation is still the charcoal mellowing, or as they like to call it "The Extra Blessing". Before going into barrels, the clear, 140-proof distillate is filtered through handcrafted charcoal drop by drop, a process that takes from 3 to 5 days and is the reason behind the Black Label's signature smoothness.
