2010 Domaine Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Inspiration...$1699.99 / Magnum
Speaking of Unicorns, there was only one barrel of the 2010 Pegau Chateauneuf Du Pape Inspiration produced and it was bottled only in Magnum. “There’s a single barrel of this full-bodied, deeply concentrated elixir and I’ve no doubt it will be very hard to come by. In addition, this cuvee is only bottled in magnum. Nevertheless, it is spectacular, and I suspect will also have close to three decades of longevity.” (98-100) The Wine Advocate
We have 3 Magnums in stock now and  we are lowest price on Wine-searcher by $100 per bottle.

Only 1 barrel produced which should translate into about 150 magnums made!

Wine of the Week :  2011 Le Cirque Rouge

Come taste it all four locations on Saturday October 3 - from 11am-4pm

2011 Le Cirque Le Cirque Red...$13.99
First of its kind to incorporate all four grape varieties that seriously come into question for this cuvee – in order of prominence here: Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Mourvedre – the 2011 Le Cirque red delivers a slightly reduced aromatic display suggesting red and black raspberries with a smoky, sweaty, sage-scented overtone. The reduction here happily translates into positive tension and invigoration on a sappy palate, tart-edged in its berry-concentration and pungently herb-tinged, leading to a mouthwateringly salt-tinged, gripping and stimulating if faintly rustic finish.

Schlafly Coffee Stout is here!

Schlafly Coffee Stout...$7.49

ABV: 5.7% | IBU: 30
APPEARANCE:Black
PROCESS:Blend of Kaldi's coffee and Schlafly stout using a cold extraction toddy
HOPS:Marynka (PL)
GRAINS :Pale, Caramel, Roasted Barley, Oats
YEAST:American Ale

Our Coffee Stout is a classic combination of a traditional stout and premium French roast coffee from St. Louis roaster, Kaldi’s Coffee. Roasted barley and coffee dominate the aroma, with the sweetness from the stout balancing the acidity of the coffee. We use a unique cold toddy extraction process to brew a less acidic coffee for the beer.

In the 1990’s, Kaldi’s staff started visiting the Schlafly Tap Room, asking for a pint of stout and a shot of espresso. Both Schlafly and Kaldi’s realized this was a match made in beer heaven, and soon started working together to find the perfect coffee blend to mix with our Oatmeal Stout. This collaboration continues today, with regular tastings to perfect the Coffee Stout.

Crystal Head Aurora Vodka

Crystal Head Aurora Vodka....$42.99 / 750ml

AURORA BOREALIS IS THE MOST VIVID AERIAL PHENOMENON.
Our Crystal Head Aurora bottle was created in celebration of this natural light display, with its beauty and mysterious visual properties.

CRAFTED WITH THE PUREST INGREDIENTS.
Aurora uses high quality English wheat and pristine water from Newfoundland, Canada to craft an additive-free vodka. The vodka is five times distilled and filtered seven times. Three of the filtrations pass through layers of Herkimer diamonds as our final distinctive touch.

AURORA IS A UNIQUE, NEW EXPRESSION OF CRYSTAL HEAD.
Instead of exploring different flavours, Aurora was crafted using a different grain. It offers a drier, bolder, and spicier vodka while staying true to the Crystal Head house-style. The bottle, with its delicate and iridescent metallized finish, is our tribute to this natural wonder of the world.

Johnnie Walker Select Casks Scotch Whisky Rye Cask Finish - 1st in the series

Johnnie Walker  Select Casks Scotch Whisky Rye Cask Finish...$39.99
Johnnie Walker Select Casks – Rye Cask Finish, the first in a series of limited edition wood-finished Scotch blends that will be released over the coming years.

Johnnie Walker Select Casks – Rye Cask Finish is a Scotch Whisky blend that showcases the best of Scottish blending and maturation expertise. With Cardhu single malt at the heart of the blend, Johnnie Walker’s Master Blender Jim Beveridge used whiskies matured for at least ten years in first-fill American Oak casks to create this blend. He finished the Scotch in ex-rye whiskey casks, creating a complex new whisky with rich layers of flavor starting with creamy vanilla notes and transitioning to a spicier finish.

“From the early days when John Walker first blended whiskies in 1820 to the unique blends created today, Johnnie Walker has always thrived on experimentation. I believe that whisky is ever evolving and experimental in nature and I am pleased to present the first Rye Cask finished Blended Scotch Whisky” said Master Blender Jim Beveridge. “Johnnie Walker Select Casks is a unique style of Scotch that blends the flavor characteristics of bourbon and rye with some of the classic signature notes and smoothness of Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky.

Laphroaig 15 Year Old is back after about 5 years!

Back in stock!

Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch 15 Year Old....$69.99

43% ABV
Laphroaig 15 year old was first created 30 years ago. Barrels were individually selected for their particularly mellow rounded flavour, then batch bottled at the higher export strength of 43% ABV. The resulting flavour soon became a firm favourite winning many awards. Its highlight was being chosen for the famous ‘Erskine Charity Bottling’ in 2000 when 270 bottles were drawn from a single 15 year old cask signed by HRH The Prince of Wales for this charity of which he is a patron.

Our 200th Anniversary edition has been created in exactly the same way as the original. We very much hope it will be a delight both to those who have enjoyed it in the past and for many of you for whom it will be the first opportunity.

Big Jake’s Breakfast Brew Whiskey collab with Kaldi's Coffee

Big Jake’s Breakfast Brew Whiskey...$29.99
*81 Proof
*Double pot-distilled
*Notes of roasted coffee, rye whiskey, & equatorial fruit

The Story:
Attention coffee lovers! This special spirit was designed to give you a better start to your day by combining two of St. Louis’ favorite things: whiskey + coffee! Therefore StilL 630 is proud to present this delicious collaboration with the fantastic people at the world-renowned Kaldi’s Coffee!

We did several cupping using over 15 different distinct coffee beans of impeccable origin from the greatest coffee growing farms across the world. Then we finally selected the bean variety from Columbia Monserrate whose fruity notes paired best with our Big Jake White Whiskey. But that was just the beginning…

Using one of our newly-emptied RallyPoint Rye Whiskey barrels, the green coffee beans were barrel-aged for weeks to absorb those delicious whiskey aromas. Then they were roasted to perfection by the masters at Kaldi’s Coffee, before being transformed into a toddy concentrate.

We then infused just the right amount of toddy concentrate into our Big Jake to showcase the complimentary flavors of the two products in a harmony of taste. So take a tip from Big Jake and follow the goat; enjoy Big Jake’s Breakfast Brew, whiskey is for breakfast again!

Left Hand Warrior IPA.

FIRST FRESH HOP of the season

Left Hand Warrior IPA...$5.69 / 22oz

Warrior IPA with Colorado Fresh Hops

"The vibrant aromatics and flavors that are derived from the use of exuberant amounts of fresh flower hops are what helps create and set apart this most unique beer. New this year (besides the kick-ass new logo) is the fact that 100% of the Fresh Hops are grown right here in Colorado – from Rising Sun Farms in Paonia, CO (there are a few other varieties from our hop farm here @ the brewery, as well as from local growers right here in our area, but the majority are Cascades). We use Warrior hops for bittering, and Goldings for dry hopping. True to our fundamental belief system, the strong hop character is balanced by a strong malt foundation, allowing for an approachable, drinkable IPA that finishes amazingly clean. The beer is full-bodied, bronze in color, and tips the scales at 6.6% alcohol by volume and 60 IBU’s. Available in 22 oz. bombers and kegs. Modern Brewery Age’s December 2007 edition said “Warrior IPA takes no prisoners. It slays lesser brews…superb in every respect.” -- Left Hand 

Boulevard Rye on Rye and Tart Cherry Stout!

Rye on Rye is here at Forsyth

 The Wine and Cheese Place!!!!

Boulevard Smokestack Rye on Rye...$11.99 / 750ml
Rated 99 on RateBeer  
Why Rye? This assertively flavorful grain is more often associated with whiskey than beer. Even in that arena, it has largely been eclipsed by corn and barley, the sources of Bourbon and scotch. But when we procured some seasoned barrels from our friends at Templeton rye, we asked ourselves, "Why not? Why not brew a rich, tawny rye ale, then mellow it in the warthm of charred oak rye whiskey casks? Two kinds of malted rye provide a spicy sweetness, giving way to notes of caramelized wood and the citrusy tang of Perle, Magnum, and Saphir hops before easing into a dry, lingering finish." -- back label

Boulevard Smokestack Imperial Stout X – Tart Cherry....$11.99 / 750ml 
As a base beer, Imperial Stout serves as a ridiculously sturdy starting point for layering flavors by incorporating new ingredients or barrel aging methods. Imperial Stout has a huge grain bill featuring several types of malted barley, wheat, rye, oats, and spelt. Robust grain and chocolate/coffee flavors are counterbalanced by date and plum notes from Scottish yeast. For Imperial Stout X – Tart Cherry, our brewers blended in over 24,000 pounds of cherry puree and 1,600 gallons of brewhouse soured beer to lend cherry flavor and a tart, refreshing acidity.
