DAOU was the first in Paso Robles to produce a 98-point wine, and they seem inclined to make it a habit. The 2016 Patrimony, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 30 months in all new French oak, delivers stunning layers of flavor on a ripe frame with fantastic juiciness. Blueberry jam, blackberry pie, truffles, espresso and violets...really, all the explosive aroma and flavor you could ask for in a seriously killer Cabernet.

In 1751, Severo Arango Y Ferro journeyed from Spain to the port city of Cartagena, situated in northern Colombia. Ferro had been sent to Columbia by the King, and was asked to establish and oversee commercial trading activities between Spain and its American colonies. Ferro proved himself to be an able and ruthless statesman and under his leadership, the city of Cartagena became a hub of economic activity and the most important port for the Spanish fleet in the Americas. Ferro's strength and power also earned him the nickname "Dictador." Dictador was partial to a variety of rums that were being distilled in the Caribbean at the time, many of which passed through Cartagena on their way to Spain. In 1913, over 150 years after Ferro initially arrived in Colombia, one of his descendants established Destileria Columbiana. Today, the distillery honors the legacy of its founding ancestors with Dictador Rum. Dictador XO Perpetual Solera System Rum is crafted from virgin sugar cane juice, which is fermented and then distilled through an antique alembic copper still. Following distillation, the rum is aged solera aged through a series of casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. As a result, Dictador Perpetual has an aroma of butterscotch, toffee, espresso beans and milk chocolate that gives way to notes of tropical fruits and citrus on the palate. The finish is long and complex, with sweet notes of caramel and vanilla mingled against spicy touches of pepper and oak. Dictador Perpetual also earned the Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2012.

The Lost Explorer Tobala is made with maguey Tobala (agave Potatorum) in San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca. It’s an earthy expression, with hints of tobacco, cocoa, vanilla and leather, offering a unique balance between wood aromas and umami flavors.

5 Sentidos Madrecuixe from Tio Tello was initially released as a California-only batch of Madrecuixe (A. Karwinskii). It is one of the first batches made by master palenquero Eleuterio Perez Ramos that Cinco Sentidos has exported to an international market. Eleuterio, who is also known as “Tio Tello,” harvested the ripe agaves in Miahuatlan de Porfirio Diaz, Oaxaca. Post harvest, he roasted the agaves in a conical oven with mesquite firewood for at least four days. After cooking the agaves, Tio Tello, along with friends and family members, chopped the agave into small pieces with a machete, and then mashed them with large hammers made of mesquite in a wooden trough. Once mashed, Tio Tello allowed the mash to ferment with well water in cypress sabino tanks. He then distilled the fermented mash in a single copper alembic style still at his small palenque in El Nanche, Oaxaca. Adjusted with heads, hearts and tails. The California-only batch was approximately 200 litres, distilled in April 2014, and bottled January 2021.

Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid sowed the fields surrounding the rented home with barley and established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the slow winter days, Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estate's Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky. After the harvest, the barley is malted and mashed in one of The Macallan's two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallan's copper-pot stills. The copper comprising the stills acts as a catalyst and enhances the formation of sweet esters while minimizing impurities such as sulfur. In addition, the curiously small stills some of "the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry," according to production manager Alexander Tweedie produce a whisky with a heavy, oily flavor. Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16% of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and richer whisky. The 2020 release of The Macallan Rare Cask showcases the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks that The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team seeks out. The team utilizes their vast knowledge, passion, and skill when selecting these unique casks to craft the distinctive, unique, and complex profile with intense raisin notes and an unparalleled smoothness. Bottled at 86 proof, it's a luxurious expression that showcases the skill of The Macallan's fabled Masters of Wood. Get your bottle today!

For 70 years, Mortlach was the best kept secret in the world of whisky. Used as the cornerstone of some of the 20th Century's most iconic Scotch Whisky blends, we decided it was time to unleash "The Beast of Dufftown" and release our Mortlach 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky so a fortunate few could enjoy Mortlach unadulterated and at its most elegant.

Inspired by the iconic first bottling in 1992, our 16 year old whisky has been matured in only Sherry casks to impart an earthy aroma, rich notes of apricot and honey and a light, leathery spiciness. This complex whisky is best served over a single blocked ice cube to enhance its spicy richness.

Established in 1823, the Mortlach distillery was the first legal distillery in Dufftown, and it has long continued to set the standard. To this day, this unique Speyside owes much to the brave vision of its greatest ownersGeorge Cowie and his son Dr. Alexander Mitchell Cowie, who pioneered the complex '2.81 distillation' process. Refined and elegant, Mortlach stands out among its regional counterparts: a wild child overlaying the traditional sweeter notes with an intensity of flavor.

Marko Karakasevic, the 13th generation Master Distiller, created the Wolves' Malted Barley Series in 2011 with the first 12 barrels, followed by 12 more lots of 8-12 barrels. Each lot was distilled over 10 days in a small, copper pot still from Cognac, France, producing a rich, thick distillate. The series is unique, with variations in barley sources, yeasts, and maltings. The barrels, sourced from top cooperages in Napa Valley, were toasted and charred in six different levels, resulting in noticeable differences across each lot. Each bottle is hand-wrapped in a sheepskin label and numbered by hand in Los Angeles.

AN AMERICAN APPROACH TO A EUROPEAN TRADITION

We take our four-year-old Rocky Mountain Single Malt and then transfer it to PX and Oloroso Sherry Barrels to cask finish. Procured from the Andalusia region of southern Spain, these sherry barrels have a depth of flavor soaked into the ancient oak staves.

PROCESS & PROFILE

Stranahan’s Sherry Cask whiskey is double-distilled 100% malted barley, aged 4 years in virgin American white oak barrels; then transferred to PX and Oloroso Sherry barrels from southern Spain to cask finish. It is aromatic with sweet notes of dried fruits such as raisins, figs and dates, accompanied by the aromas of honey, grape syrup, jam and candied fruit. Its flavors are reminiscent of chocolate, coffee and raisins from the PX barrels mixed with caramel, nutty, and fruity flavors from the Oloroso barrels. Best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water or in cocktails.

NOSE: Raisins, figs, dates, honey, grape syrup, jam and candied fruit.

PALATE: Honey, Montmorency cherries, blackcurrant, and fig, with a nutty brine and walnut characteristics.

FINISH: Buttery caramel, whipped creme, brown sugar and smoked cayenne.

This award-winning bourbon is distinctly American in that it forges a path all its own. To create its singular flavor profile, we age it for 10 years in the hills of Tennessee and choose not to chill-filter as is popular with many bourbons. This gives us an even greater depth of flavor going into the bottle. Incredibly well balanced, it’s a standout bourbon for moments that are to be remembered.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: leads with the scent of vanilla layered with sweet roasted corn, toasted oak, and pipe tobacco.

Palate: starts with a velvety entry marked by a hint of well-balanced sweetness. It fulfills the promise of its nose before evolving into a warm, slightly dry, cocoa covered mid-palate.

Finish: enrobes the senses with a rich, warming, and full-bodied finish of spicy cedar and kettle corn.
