The 2023 Edition explores dynamic, multisensory dimensions inspired by the whisky's unique tasting notes, while the addition of 'one cut' of water opens up a new, sensorial world from pear to almond biscotti. This high strength release demonstrates The Macallan’s ongoing quest to seek out the extraordinary.

PEAR. ALMOND. VANILLA.
This exceptional single malt has matured in a union of ex-Bourbon American oak and sherry seasoned European oak casks.

Immerse yourself in a world of flavours, where the essence of fresh pear and almond biscotti takes centre stage. Through a mesmerising catwalk experience, vibrant fabrics and colour choices evoke the freshness of the unique pear tasting note, whilst the flowing texture of a golden gown represents the almond biscotti flavour profile that is revealed with ‘one cut’ of water.

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.

Maker Notes

BIRD CREEK WHISKEY

Our story began with a thirst for adventure. We needed to capture the thrill of being out in our incredible environment and cross it with the integrity of our carefully selected ingredients. We wanted to explore what the great Northwest could offer in terms of flavor since it had so much to offer in terms of fun.

Today, we have five barleys from across the upper left, that range from rare to heritage, that include a plethora of beautiful tasting notes. The landscapes where these barleys grow are second to none. Take a trip out to the rolling vistas in the Palouse hills to visit Baronesse or head down to the sprawling valley floors on the west side of the Wallowas to see the waving fields of Francin.

Wherever our whiskey tasting takes you, it's sure to be an adventure.

Appearance: This tequila has a bright and luminous appearance, with silver shades and a light straw yellow color. It has a great body.

Aroma: The initial impression is of preserved fruits, such as peach, cherry, and ripe banana. There are also hints of spices like cinnamon and black pepper, as well as delicate herbal notes like mint. The aroma also includes sweet notes of cooked agave, with touches of honey, vanilla, and caramel, as well as delicate olive undertones.

Palate: The taste is well-balanced, silky, and sweet, confirming the olfactory promise. The flavors of preserved fruits, bee honey, cooked agave, and cinnamon are present, with a long-lasting finish.

For Sentinel, we began with a sweet, bold blend of three-year-old and two-year-old 95% rye-5% malt straight rye whiskies distilled and aged in Indiana. We finished this rye in freshly-harvested mesquited Whiskey Del Bac casks, then filtered it across a bed of Mesquite charcoal from our mesquited malting process, inspired by traditional American whiskey production methods. Add a hot, Sonoran summer.

The result: A striking straight rye whiskey with the bold flavors of a traditional 95% rye, smoothed by the soft roundness of a hint of mesquite. Dubbed Sentinel, meaning “one who watches over or is the keeper of”, this rye is befitting of America's oldest whiskey style while imbuing the essence of the desert.

With each sip of Sentinel, we invite you to slow down and savor the spirit of the Southwest. Now more than ever, the Sonoran desert is in need of sentinels. Together, let’s keep watch over this place that we love.

Just the buzz you’re looking for. A jolt of flavor coffee-lovers crave with the go-down-easy warmth that makes this whiskey truly wonderful.

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

Nuda Tequila was founded by a Persian-Mexican connection, in a way reflecting the two cultures that have played the largest roles in the creation of the famous Mexican spirit. It was the Aztecs that began fermenting the blue agave hundreds of years ago. But it wasn't until the Spanish aristocrat Pedro Snchez de Tagle introduced the distillation process to Mexico in the 1700s that tequila was born. The distillation process itself was perfected in the 10th century by Al-Razi, a Persian alchemist, physician, and philosopher. Nuda continues this story with an added "sensuality, sophistication and elegance of the Queen of Tequila." Nuda has 5 expressions currently in their lineup: Silver (Blanco), Reposado, Aejo, Extra Aejo, and the ultra-premium 5 Years Extra Aejo. The process begins with the harvest of mature, ripe 8-year-old blue Weber agaves in Jalisco, Mexico. Once the leaves are removed, the heart is cooked in order to convert the starches within into sugars. The cooked agaves are then crushed, releasing the juice or "aguamiel". After fermentation, the liquid is distilled 3 times the third and final distillation removing the heavier components, resulting in a pure, clean, and soft spirit. Following the distillation, each of the 5 expressions is aged for a varying amount of time, apart from the Nuda Tequila Silver. An unaged "blanco" expression, it has the freshest flavors and aromas of cooked agave. It is bottled at 80 proof in sandblasted glass bottles depicting the feminine beauty of the Queen of Tequila.

The history of Suntory whisky and the history of Japanese whisky began by the fearless challenge undertaken Torii, who embarked on whisky-making after prevailing against the opposition he faced.
