As with OldScout Whiskey, we’re excited to bring rare spirits to market when they cross our paths and impress our palates. Revelation is a fine “ron anejo” from the Caribbean, having made the long journey from near the Blue Mountains of Jamaica to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia. It’s smooth, delicious and makes us want to travel someplace warm. Even if it’s just to the back porch.

2013 Mullan Road Cellars Red Wine...$42.99
Bright red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark raspberry, black cherry, chocolate and spices, lifted by a floral note. Smooth and fruity but also firm on the palate, with a complicating hint of coffee torrefaction. Tannins are a bit youthfully dry and oaky but this wine shows more charm than the 2012 release. A second bottle showed strong, building tannins but plenty of supporting fruit and excellent persistence.

New Award Winning - Bluewater Organic Halcyon Gin

Bluewater Organic Halcyon Gin...$26.99
With a rare 5-star rating from renowned critic Aaron Knoll of TheGinIsIn.com, Halcyon has quickly ascended to the highest tier of fine gins. A classic London Dry aromatic profile with a citrus-forward brightness shape a gin that is both traditionally engaging and versatile for bold explorations. Aromatics steep for 24 hours in our hand-hammered copper kettles, followed by a masterful distillation to capture the essence of Halcyon.

I found it hard find a cocktail that I did not like this gin in…Beautiful…Where other gins sometimes wilt, or highlight ‘off’ notes, Halcyon excels across the board.

2008 Penfolds Grange....$599.99
100 points | $850 | 330 cases imported | Red
An utterly majestic Shiraz, sleek and seamless, brimming with ripeness on a framework that allows for grace and expressiveness in equal measure. The intensity of fresh blueberry and plum fruit holds attention until the nuances kick in, offering glints of exotic spice, coffee, cocoa, bay leaf and mint. Shows tremendous presence without a lot of weight, the tannins present but not even close to getting in the way. A great wine now, with plenty of room to grow. Drink now through 2040. From Australia.—H.S.

Rated 100/100 The Wine Spectator

Deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Grange puts forward a very complex nose packed with aromas of mulberries, layers of baking spices, cloves and cinnamon with nuances of minced meat, anise, potpourri and whiffs of dried mint and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, taut and very spicy in the mouth, it shows touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice complementing the layers of dark fruit flavors. It is framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing acid line before finishing very long with aniseed and lingering blackberry preserves notes. This is clearly a wonderfully opulent and a magic vintage for this label. Drink it from 2018 to 2035+.

2010 Penfolds Grange....$479.98 / bottle

We have 8 bottles in stock.

We do have some original 3 bottle wood cases too
The 2010 Grange arrives with much expectation and does not disappoint. This is a powerhouse, structurally superior to both the 2009 and 2008 vintages and breathtakingly dense, long and precise. The nose has cola, blackberry, vanillin, hard brown spices of all kinds, coal smoke, meaty charcuterie elements and a strong tarry, savory note that speaks of the 85% Barossa Valley componentry. The palate has super deep tannins that fan out through flavorsome black fruits. These are purposeful tannins; they bristle on the palate, tantalizing and assertive yet playful, strong not aggressive. The power here is the thing; this has mouth-coating density and terrific drive, so tightly coiled, it gives enough away to suggest a very, very long cellaring wine is here. This is a classic Grange that will please the serious collectors. A wine of genuine pedigree. Better in 2026.
Rated 100/100 James Suckling
The 2010 Grange is a 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 96% Shiraz blend made from Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate fruit that was aged 17 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. Very deep purple-black in color, this is classic Grange - amongst the finest produced - replete with fresh, vibrant and youthful black fruit notes showing some blueberry aromas and accents of camphor, anise and the slightest floral hint plus a whiff of oak in the background to lend a cedar-laced lift to this textbook Shiraz nose. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it is very taut and finely constructed showing typically firm, grainy, uniform tannins, great concentration and wonderful persistence on the finish. If I have any very slight complaint of this near perfect wine it is that it seems a little too clinical and appears to speak less of the land and the heart of South Australia and more of the very skilled winemaking than did the Grange from the magical 2008 vintage

Rated 88/100 The Wine Advocate

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, at cool, controlled temperatures. Aged "sur lie" until bottling. This is a store favorite unoaked 100% Chardonnay. Fresh peach and pear aromas on the nose, with a subtle hint of acacia. Lush yet lively - a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
Serve With: A perfect aperitif, it will accompany a wide variety of food including creamy pasta dishes and fish, poultry and pork. We have been selling this wine for 15+ years now and is still one of the best buys in unoaked Chardonnay.

2013 Opus One Proprietary Red

The greatest Opus ever. Terrific aromas of crushed black currants, blueberries and flowers with hints of sweet tobacco. Roses continue to exude opulence and class. Full body, superb balance of ultra-fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Complex aftertaste of black fruits and citrus fruit. Extremely persistent. So approachable now and enjoyable. But will be even better in 2019 and beyond. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot, 6% petit verdot, 2% malbec. This will always be beautiful to drink.

Sugarlands Shine

Sugarlands Shine Butterschotch Gold Moonshine....$19.99
40 proof
Butterscotch Gold brings out tastes of brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla that informs memories of kettle corn at the county fair. Slight hazelnut notes and a lingering cream flavor contribute to a long finish that cannot last long enough.

Sugarlands Shine Peanut Butter and Jelly...$19.99

70 proof
Peanut Butter and Jelly moonshine? Yes! Taste the fruity burst of concord grape jelly balanced out by delicious peanut butter (creamy or crunchy depending on your persuasion). It’s a classic comfort combination shouting “howdy" to your inner child. It’s nuts!

Fluid Dynamics The 1850 Cocktail - pre-made - Sazerac!

Fluid Dynamics The 1850 Cocktail....$18.99 / 200ml
Here’s me and Devin Cain of the American Craft Whiskey Distillery tasting various experimental blends for our recently-released Fluid Dynamics aged cocktails. The 10-liter barrel on the counter behind my glass in the foto holds the first experimental batch of a Sazerac cocktail (we had to call it the 1850 – the year the Sazerac bar opened in New Orleans – because "Sazerac" is a trademark).

You've probably noticed that a lot of good bartenders are blending cocktails in tiny barrels and aging them for a couple of weeks. It’s what gave us the idea for Fluid Dynamics. We are able to assemble our cocktails in 55 gallon oak barrels. We age them for about six weeks. It helps a lot that the blending is done by the same people that distilled the spirits we're using, because they have a good idea of what’s going to happen in the barrel.  When we experimented with the 1850, we learned that it is very different to age a product with absinthe in it than it is to simply mix a drink containing absinthe: the interaction of the components over time is a powerful factor. We decided not to include bitters, because no matter how little we used, after six weeks, the bitters taste was too strong. Because we age Germain-Robin varietal brandies for quite a while before starting to blend them, we were able to experiment with brandies distilled from different grapes. Brandies from aromatic grapes (like Riesling and Muscat) performed the best.

A good drink that is mixed and handed to you is composed of complex and distinctive ingredients. If you take the time to age those ingredients together in barrel, they merge into a richer and more harmonious whole. To our palate, the aged version is about four times as good as a drink that has been freshly assembled. Similar things happen to our whiskies and brandies in the cellar (when we prepare a blend, it takes at least two years, sometimes five, for the components to fully “marry”).

Jim Beam Double Oaked Twice Barreled

Jim Beam Double Oaked Twice Barreled...$16.99 / 750ml

Like all of our bourbons, the new Jim Beam® Double Oak is crafted in charred oak. Its rich flavor comes from being aged a second time in another separate barrel.
Jim Beam® Double Oak is first aged in charred American white oak barrels, then we pour it into another freshly charred barrel to mature for a second time. The added interaction with the oak wood results in a liquid intense in flavour, smooth in taste.

The answer: A spicy, sweet, and dangerously drinkable Belgian golden strong ale.


Church Street Magisterium Maibock...$9.99 / 6pk
