Climate
Overall, the 2022 growing season in Salento was hot and dry. The winter months followed normal weather patterns and rainfall was within seasonal averages. Spring was mild but drought conditions prevailed. Although summer was hot and dry, the vineyards benefitted from moderate breezes that provided good temperature variations between day and night. The resiliency of Calafuria’s vines together with vineyard practices that helped keep partial shade over the clusters and preserving good balance of the vines’ growth/productive phases are all factors that allowed the grapes to reach peak ripeness, preserving fragrant aromas and aromatic freshness.

Vinification and aging
Immediately after harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. The must was transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 12 °C (54 °F) to favor natural clarification of the must. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) to preserve and enhance aromatic compounds. Calafuria was left to age on the lees in stainless steel tanks for a short period of time before it was bottled and released for sale.

Alcohol content : 12.5% by Vol.

Historical data
Masseria Maìme is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Upper Salento not too far from the town of San Pietro Vernotico in the province of Brindisi. The estate extends along the coastline forming a unique countryside of vineyards that lies between woodlands and pine forests stretching out as far as the eye can see until blending into the sea. The most prevalent grape varieties grown here are Negroamaro, Primitivo, Syrah, Cabernet and Chardonnay. Calafuria is produced from vineyards that extend along the Adriatic coastline. Its name comes from one of the over 700 bays on the Apulian peninsula. The region boasts a long tradition for the production of rosé wines made from Negroamaro, a variety that best expresses its full potential near the sea. Calafuria is a rosé that is delicate, pleasantly fruity, savory and well-rounded, reflecting the aromas and colors of its home territory, Salento.

Tasting notes
Calafuria is a delicate pale pink color. Fruity, citrusy notes of pink grapefruit, orange blossoms together with delicate hints of jasmine and lime blossoms dominate the nose. The palate is pleasantly fresh with excellent aromatic persistence and a delicate savory note on the finish.

Specifically, it stipulated that the whiskey must be the product of one distilling season, from one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof. 123 years later, this designation continues to offer those same guarantees, providing consumers with the knowledge of where, how, and when the Bourbon was produced and aged.

Maker Notes

We love espresso and we certainly love a good cocktail, so why not an espresso spirit? We gathered our barista and bartender friends together to taste different coffee blends and spirits until we found a liquid we love: medium-roasted Colombian Arabica beans carefully blended with smooth Caribbean Rum, for a finely balanced espresso spirit that can be mixed with almost anything. We hope you like it as much as we do.

TASTING NOTES

This is a bright crisp sauvignon blanc with citrus zip, flavors of lemon, lime, yellow grapefruit, and lime zest combined with a fennel and caper vibrancy. Green and yellow hues present in this wine with exotic aromatics of pink grapefruit, green lime zest, lemon citrus along with undertones of fennel, and green olive.

ACCOLADES

90 Points, James Suckling – “Aromas of pears and white nectarines with hints of raw almond, white flowers and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with clean and crunchy acidity cutting through the vivid palate with notes of lime zest and leafy herbs. Citrusy finish. Drink now.” JS, March 2023

92 Points & Editors’ Choice, Wine Enthusiast – “Beautiful, layered fruit flavors and a finely polished texture create an elegant, well-balanced wine that’s relatively light on the palate and lingers nicely on the finish. Editors’ Choice.” JG, Oct 2023

Food & Wine | The Best Wine for Thanksgiving Dinner – “This longtime Napa Valley producer was early to the game of making equally good Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc here. This estate bottling, full of melon flavors, avoids the green-pepperiness Sauvignon Blanc can sometimes have.” Ray Isle, October 2023

Barrell Bourbon Batch 033 is a marriage of high-rye barrels and high-corn barrels ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old. The high-rye barrels were chosen for their distinct stone fruit, black pepper, and nutmeg notes. The high-corn barrels were chosen for their rich butterscotch, coffee, and citrus notes. Two sets of barrels mingled together for two months, then the balance was adjusted for the most optimal combination.

• A blend of straight Bourbon Whiskeys

• Distilled and aged in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana

• Selection of 5, 6, 7, and 9-year-old barrels

• Aged in American white oak barrels

• Bottled in Kentucky

• 116.6 proof cask strength bottling

FLAVOR NOTES

Barrell Bourbon Batch 033 displays all the complexity of a blend of different distillates given time to blossom. Barrel character adds some diverse leafy notes at the margins without an overabundance of extractive woody or spice notes.

Appearance: Citrine set in yellow gold.

​Nose: Pear, lemon meringue, and shoofly pie set the stage for a bourbon deftly balanced between freshness and maturity. A bouquet of jasmine, nasturtium, and dandelion speak to a youthful exuberance, while peppermint and gentian root depict an oak barrel just creeping in. A gentle savory character expands into edamame, macadamia nut, and mesquite smoke.

​Palate: Champagne, applesauce, and candied grapefruit peel show ample maturity without an excessive oak. The baking spice character is dialed up slightly, exhibiting cocoa powder, allspice, star anise, and juniper.

​Finish: A burst of heat rides a wave of minerals across the palate that include limestone, beach sand, and salt-water taffy. Geranium, elderflower, and chamomile reinforce the nose’s bouquet. The finish fades to the slightly bitter prickle of returning gentian root and lime peel, wiping the palate clean.

​With a splash of spring water

The palate grows much more viscous; it’s rich and sweet with vanilla buttercream. The savory notes intensify, with pickled caper, fried mushroom and hush puppies leading the way. The fruity notes expand dramatically to include nectarine, honeydew melon, passionfruit, and coconut cream.

An elegant expression of premium Rioja vines made from Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. Aged for four years, Reserva perfectly balances a fruity palate with hints of clove, pepper, vanilla and coconut.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Complex aromas with a great balance between the fruit (ripe cherries, black plums, and blackberries) and the wood characteristics (clove, nutmeg, vanilla and coconut).

PALATE: Smooth and balanced on the palate with lush fruit, baking spices, tobacco and toasted oak. Elegant and silky tannins, moderate weight, and long lasting finish.

PAIRS WELL WITH: Delicious with grilled or roasted fish, poultry or red meat, and blue cheese.

A PARTNERSHIP WITH DEEP IRISH ROOTS

We are thrilled to announce the collaboration between the Pittsburgh Steelers and The Dublin Liberties Distillery, home to the Dubliner Irish whiskey. A partnership forged from a shared connection of deep Irish roots, a thirst for glory and a commitment to excellence. The Pittsburgh Steelers organization is known as the best run football franchise in the NFL. This pursuit of superior leadership and outstanding quality, all whilst paying homage to the city of Pittsburgh and Steeler Nation, attracted The Dublin Liberties Distillery to teaming up with an organization that holds similar values.

400 YEARS OF INSPIRATION
The Dublin Liberties Distillery opened its doors for the first time in February 2019. A working distillery nestled in the heart of Dublin’s historic district of The Liberties, Ireland’s storied whiskey capital. The DLD’s whiskey collection is the culmination of inspiration of over 400 years of Irish history and distillation excellence, a true testament to The Distillery’s unwavering commitment to produce only the finest and most special Irish Whiskey in the world. Balancing a commitment to craft and tradition with new technologies and unexplored casks, the Dublin Liberties Distillery has been celebrated for developing some of the most innovative Irish whiskeys of the past decade.

LIMITED EDITION WHISKEY
This commitment to the highest standards in whiskey making along with the heritage and history of the historic Liberties district in Dublin pairs perfectly with the blue collar, gritty, and hard nosed standards of the city of Pittsburgh and all of Steeler Nation. To celebrate 90 years of Steelers Football, the partnership is delighted to launch a limited edition Dubliner Steelers Select Irish Whiskey to commemorate this amazing achievement.

THE STORY

The “Masters of Whiskey Series” was born from the core tenet of BLACKENED American Whiskey and Metallica…collaboration. This series combines the strengths of Master Distiller and Blender Rob Dietrich and renowned whiskey makers to re-imagine craft whiskey and create more complex expressions. Each of these limited edition whiskies are finished to their own unique playlist which is blasted to the barrels using BLACKENED’s proprietary BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement process.
The inspiration for the collaboration came from BLACKENED’s late Master Distiller and whiskey luminary, Dave Pickerell who was a close friend of Wes Henderson. Representing several generations of Kentucky distilling provenance, Henderson was inducted into the Kentucky bourbon hall of fame, joining his father, Lincoln Henderson, as one of the few father/son inductees in the history of the industry.

Kikori was launched in the Fall of 2015 by Ann Soh Woods, an up and comer in the Japanese Whisky scene. Ann, founder and owner of Soh Spirits, is a bold spark of brilliance, with her fresh take on Japanese whisky. Her imaginative 100% rice based Japanese whisk(e)y -which she chose to spell with an e, to distinguish Kikori from other Japanese whiskies- won gold at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Bureau didn't know how to classify it at first, but it is a whiskey. It is similar to its cousin Shochu -a Japanese alcohol distilled from rice or sweet potatoes- but is served at a higher 41% ABV than shochu's 25-35%. Wood's had a fascination with whiskey, and her frequent trips to Japan, roused intrigue for the rituals and traditions of Japanese alcohols. Rice is a huge part of Japanese culture. By distilling whiskey from this prominent grain, Woods seeks to capture the spirit of Japan. This is how the imaginative whiskey was born. Introducing bold ideas like these into such a male dominated old school market like the whiskey industry had its challenges. It is always assumed that I am a sales representative when I visit accounts, and it is always a pleasant surprise when they find out I am the founder. Said Woods in an interview with Munchies Magazine. Not to mention overcoming language and cultural barriers. Kikori is distilled in Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu, Japan, the birthplace of Kikori. When approached with the unconventional idea for her Japanese whiskey, distillers were skeptical, but the new drink has gained popularity. Woods depended on a master distiller for the formula, and it has become a success. Kikori states that the rice is sourced locally from the Kumamoto rice paddy. Located alongside the Iwase River, Kumamoto has a distinct volcanic rich soil. The signature rice is cooked in giant steel steamers, and distilled using pure mountain water, the rice ""has been cultivated in southern Japan for over 2000 years in the nutrient rich, volcanic soil of Kyushu Island. The rice grows in the rich volcanic loam formed through eons of lava flow and ash deposits. It's distilled with fresh mountainous waters that flow through ancient volcanic rocks that are millions of years old. The rice gives it a unique aromatic profile with a floral and fragrant aroma and a velvety smoothness to the palate. No coloring or sugar is added, and it ages in American, French, and sherry oak anywhere from three to seven years.

This grappa is distilled according to the "Tosolini method" using only the freshest grape marcs from small batches and then ageing the distillate in the cellars of the Tosolini family.
