TASTE: Caramel and hazelnuts course through dark chocolate.

FINISH: Luxuriously long, warming, smoky finish.

This collaboration blend is an excellent representation of Wolves’ signature blend. It contains a higher pilsner whiskey content than some prior releases and drinks well in the cold weather. The craft Stout and Pilsner beer whiskeys were distilled over 10 days period in a small, alembic pot still that was imported from Cognac, France in 1983. These beer distillates were aged in used French oak and New American oak, respectively. The vanilla, hops, and sweetness on the front palate are cut by the spice of the Indiana rye whiskey on the finish. The result is a decadent flavor and texture experience. “Undefeated” was bottled at 103 Proof, with each bottle wrapped by hand in an Olive sheepskin label. Arrives with a canvas sleeve.

Multi-layered and seriously smooth, this perfectly crafted port cask finish will delight any connoisseurs tastebuds. Aged for 21 years, our whisky's velvety style reflects all our time-honoured skills in marrying casks - techniques for which we've been renowned since our distillery began. Over the initial maturation in American oak casks the whisky develops an intense spicy sweetness. It is then finished over two years in Portuguese port wine casks, gaining rich, dark chocolate notes and full-bodied elegance. This unique balance of such contrasting casks, reveals a wonderfully complex dram.

As our legend goes, one extraordinary day the King of Islay was reborn. A spark of sunlight fell from the sky, and set the land ablaze. When the flames subsided, the scorched earth was veiled in thick smoke. Suddenly, new life rose from the ashes in shimmering feathers of honeyed gold and rich crimson. A regal Phoenix soared above its wings of fire powering the stills of Lagavulin, amplifying its spiced intensity. Lagavulin has long been the home of legends. Its rocky bay was crowned with a castle by Lords of the Isles who ruled long ago. The distillery rose in succession; deeply respected, a king born to power. Made in the birthplace of distilling, this iconic Islay malt is intense and smoky, steeped in history and lore for over two hundred years.In this deep expression from virgin oak and our smokiest reserves, peaty casks lead spice and smoke on their eternal dance with deep sweetness. The smooth, oily start shines with sweet richness, before lemony citrus and sea salt add freshness and an explosion of spice to savour. Mid-palate, the taste becomes more drying, its smoky intensity ever-growing. Great waves of peat wreathe the long, smoky-spicy finish. New-fired, Lagavulin soars to fresh heights of spiced smoke. The King of Islay reborn as a shimmering, flamegarlanded phoenix, fit to power a soaring, deeply smoky expression. Crackling spice rises from the smoky intensity. From a combination of virgin oak casks and smokiest reserves. An elemental Lagavulin from virgin oak and our smokiest reserves, in which rich, peaty casks lead saltiness, spice and smoke on their eternal dance with deep sweetness. Best served neat, pour 60ml of Lagavulin 12YO in a whisky glass and enjoy. Lagavulin 12YO is a unique gift that stands out within the Special Releases collection, and is perfect for get-togethers with friends or family.

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE: Gleaming, iridescent gold.

BODY: Medium.

NOSE: Dry, with an immediate powerful smokiness; much more so than is usual with Lagavulin, with charcoal and fragrant peat massively to the fore, backed by a clean fresh base-note that suggests sea air and mineral scents. Much reduced, aromatically, with even a little water, it remains essentially unaltered.

PALATE: The smooth lightly oily texture shines with sweet richness; the taste is sweet to start, then takes off with a soaring lemony acidity and a sprinkling of sea salt to add freshness. Mid-palate the fire dries the taste, which flies still higher now in its salty-smoky intensity. A dash of water rounds and sweetens but it’s the smoke that dominates.

FINISH: Long, with great waves of peat-smoke, and new-fired heights of spiced and smoky intensity that last wonderfully in the aftertaste.

THE UNTAMED SPIRIT OF ISLAY

Ardbeg has been called “as close to perfection as makes no difference,” by whisky connoisseurs. Proof then, that Ardbeg truly deserves its incredible reputation. It’s a whisky that’s worshipped around the world. In the past ten years, six different Ardbeg expressions have won prestigious titles including World Whisky of the Year, Scotch Whisky of the Year and World’s Best Single Malt.

Miyagikyo Single Malt is a range of single malt expressions from the Miyagikyo Distillery. Nikka's founder Masataka Taketsuru chose a valley in the Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery, and started its operation in 1969. He aimed to make a complete contrast between the two distilleries, Miyagikyo and Yoichi, with different natural environments and production methods.Miyagikyo malts are described as elegant and fruity. Made from light peated and non-peated malted barley, whiskies distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam express a signature fruitiness and delicate mouthfeel.

Bushido Series Whisky is known for bringing highly sought after Japanese whiskies to the US market. This time in the form of a 15-year-old pure malt. You'll experience flavors mirroring REI pure malt but intensified. Explosions of tropical fruit, especially pineapple, from the start, then gentle oak from the 15 years spent in ex-bourbon casks, and a finish of smoothness with little to no burn. 

For our fourth Vaults project, we had the luxury of blending barrels from our stocks of up to 20 year old casks. The Vaults is a unique series: exceptional & mature whiskey, rebarrelled in new cooperage. When distillate is barreled, it is young and wild. After a decade and half, it is mellow and mature. Placing The Vaults blend in new oak polishes older whiskey in a surprising way. It enhances the intensity, richness, and depth of flavor, giving it that Widow Jane signature taste. 

An act of congress in 1964 established bourbon as our only true American Spirit. Combining Tennessee & Indiana bourbon, blended & finished in New York, rebarreled in wood from the Missouri Ozarks, this truly is an American Spirit. 

In the Vaults tradition, you’ll find sweet tobacco and leather, vanilla, sarsaparilla, unsweetened cinnamon and cocoa powder, along with a hint of a seasoned oak campfire. It is cut to proof using the water of the legendary Rosendale mines of New York State. This complimentary ingredient lends beautiful minerality and a finish that can only be Widow Jane. 

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Broken in Leather, Seasoned Oak Campfire

Taste: Sweet Tobacco, Vanilla, Sarsaparilla

Finish: Unsweetened Cinnamon, Cocoa Powder

A symphony of woody flavors and smoky notes. B&D’s emblematic Cognac.

THE ULTIMATE AFTER DINNER SIP.

A SILKY, SUMPTUOUS, PREMIUM HIGH-END COGNAC CRAFTED USING PRESTIGIOUS EAUX DE VIE FROM GRANDE AND PETITE CHAMPAGNE CRUS. B&D XO COGNAC IS SLOWLY MATURED IN FRENCH OAK BARRELS FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: This refined Cognac offers a bouquet of aromas focused on a core of woody and smoky notes of tobacco and cocoa as well as fruity notes of candied fruit and prune.

COLOR: Deep, coppery amber.

TASTE: XO is incredibly rich, full-bodied and stunningly smooth. The initial notes explored on the nose are enriched with aromatic hints of plum, mocha, cedar wood and liquorice.

HOW TO TASTE XO COGNAC

XO Cognac should be sipped in all its purity, neat. Extra Old is the kind of Cognac that uncovers subtle aromatic notes which are slowly revealed one sip at a time.

The anCnoc 18 Year Old has matured in Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels and has been bottled in its most natural form, neither chill-filtered nor colored.  As a result, this dram may develop a light haze with the addition of water or if kept at a cold temperature. This haze is a natural characteristic of whisky that is non chill-filtered.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bronzed amber.

Nose: Gentle spices and intense sweetness of dried fruits are topped with chocolate, ripe oranges and oiled leather.

Taste: Full-bodied and bold, aromatic spices, fruit loaf and candied lemon are followed by a surge of vanilla, honey and caramel. The finish transforms from peppery and hot to deliciously sweet and smooth.

LITTLE BOOK TO THE FINISH

FREDDIE'S NOTE

Little Book Chapter 6, “To The Finish,” is the sixth chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series. “To The Finish” offers a chance for any curious whiskey drinker to expand their palate - both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The name of this year’s chapter offers fans of American whiskey an opportunity to experience liquid that I personally had a hand in creating and showcases the innovation of Little Book chapters over the last six years.

Little Book Chapter 6 is a blend of five different liquid streams using different wood staves and barrel techniques that impart a unique liquid profile due to the secondary aging. This chapter continues to push the boundaries of blending and challenges what some might assume of lower aged whiskies. The way these liquid streams complement each other makes this liquid extremely approachable, even for those who haven’t given cask strength whiskey a try.

The inspiration for Chapter 6 came from combining two of my passions – cooking and whiskey. The way they complement each other and come together is what sparked my curiosity for “To The Finish”. Using the smoke and flavor of hardwoods, I am able to bring together timeless tools from the culinary trade into pioneering my work with American Whiskey. The result is a taste that’s bigger than its individual parts. A flavor made from generations of curing, grilling and distilling.

For the Noe family, the kitchen has always been a home away from the distillery and a way to share family traditions between generations. My granddaddy spent hours in the smokehouse practicing his craft and curing meats. My dad’s passion was reinvigorated once I was old enough to tag along. Dad enjoyed teaching me about this family tradition and working to perfect granddaddy’s sausage recipe – he always thought it needed a bit more sage. My personal passion is around family and cooking, looking into the details of what works and what doesn’t. These traditions around family meals, shared traditions, and my pursuits at the grill inspire my own work in the rackhouse and they’ve been poured into Little Book Chapter 6.

2022 - 04, “PINKIE’S BATCH"

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

The color of this batch is a rich, golden amber that really shines when you hold it up to the light and admire the glass you’ve poured. The aroma is balanced with brown spice and vanilla notes, which gives you a preview of the taste. When you first sip it, your mouth is filled with Booker’s signature vanilla flavor, and it leaves you with a lingering well-rounded finish. I know my dad and grandad would have enjoyed this batch over a football game, and I’m very proud to name this batch in honor of my granddad, Frederick Booker Noe.

LABEL INSPIRATION

The fourth release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2022 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2022-04 “Pinkie’s Batch.” Frederick Booker Noe, better known as Pinkie to his family and friends, was my grandad. To this day I’m actually not sure where Pinkie got his nickname from, but one thing I do know is that he was someone who always followed his passions, just like I do with whiskey making.

A lot of people thought that Pinkie was in the bourbon business – a good assumption to make about someone in our family – but he worked as the vice president of the local bank. That’s not to say he didn’t enjoy drinking bourbon – he actually was a big fan – but the bourbon business just wasn’t his thing like it was for Dad and is for me and my son Freddie. When Pinkie wasn’t running the bank, he also loved to golf. I remember as a little boy that golf was a big part of his life, and he tried to play as often as possible. So much so that he had an indent in his hip from the golf balls he’d keep in his pocket. Pinkie was also an outdoorsman, with a passion for hunting that he passed down to Booker. He often brought Dad along with him to hunt quail, and I know those were always bonding experiences for them.

Every great idea starts with a challenge.

Ours was simple: fine aged tequilas were not widely available in America.

It was on a trip to Mexico in the 90’s where QUI co-founder, Medhat discovered his passion for fine aged tequilas. He came to love their incredible flavor and wonderfully smooth finish. He wanted to bring that world best taste and exclusivity back to New York. The problem? These luxurious liquors were something that could rarely be enjoyed as their price point was just beyond the reach of so many.

QUI was established with the aim of not only creating the finest sipping tequilas on the market, but also making them accessible to more people, not less. Our mission has led us to create an exceptional, award-winning and simply luxurious range of liquors.

To create our tequilas, we discard the heads and tails of each distillation, using only the heart, which is the very best. It gave rise to QUI from the word te-QUI-la.

QUI SELECT is the exquisite new addition to our portfolio of beautiful extra añejo tequilas. This one of a kind extra añejo has been aged in a blend of hand-selected Tennessee Whiskey, French Bordeaux, and Sherry Casks for 7 years! 

Experience notes of caramel, tobacco, and coconut in this beautiful extra añejo with a creamy soft finish.  Additive-free.
