The wort will be hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Lemondrop and Hallertau Blanc hops while additions of Riesling juice and peach puree will accent the sweet fruitiness suggested by the chosen hops. Aged briefly on virgin oak during fermentation, the collaboration beer will receive peach puree and lemon zest just before packaging. Finishing the beer with champagne yeast in bottle conditioning will produce a slightly effervescent golden lager that showcases regional ingredients from each brewery’s home state.

Following primary fermentation with our house Belgian yeast strain, the beer was transferred into the foeder where lactobacillus brevis and brettanomyces had already taken up residence.

Single Malt of the Year !! Glen Grant 18

Glen Grant 18 Year Old Wins Big again!

Glen Grant Aged 18 Years Rare Edition (also won this in 2017)

Single Malt of the Year 2018 (Multiple Casks)
Glen Grant Aged 18 Years Rare Edition (also won this in 2017)

THE FULL WINNERS LIST
2018 World Whisky of the Year
Colonel E.H. Taylor 4 Grain Bourbon (sold out)

Second Finest Whisky in the World
Redbreast Aged 21 Years (sold out)

Third Finest Whisky in the World
Glen Grant Aged 18 Years (was second last year)

Glen Grant's 18 Year Old Single Malt...$114.99

This unrivalled single malt matures for at least 18 years in the highest quality, handpicked oak casks, which creates a radiant golden colour and seductive floral and oaky aroma.
Deeply layered and complex, this rich and vibrant whisky delivers beautifully intricate flavours of malted caramel, vanilla, and raisins and lingers with a long, sweet, and pleasantly spicy finish

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout...$11.99 / 6pk
This is the famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. In the 18th century, Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, ordered a stout to be sent to her from England. This beer was brewed strong and hoppy to survive the sea voyage, and it arrived in perfect condition. Soon "Russian Imperial Stout" became the toast of the Russian aristocracy. Brewed since 1994, our Black Chocolate Stout has itself become a modern classic, heralded the world over. It achieves its dark chocolate aroma and flavor through the artful blending of six malts and three distinct mashes. Properly kept, it will improve in the bottle for many years. This stout is the toast of the winter season in many countries, and there is nothing better to enjoy with chocolate desserts, cheesecake, ice cream, fine cheeses and roaring fireplaces.

Given this beer’s higher ABV and sturdy character, we think it’s a prime candidate for cellaring. Find a cool, dry spot away from light sources, and see how it changes in the years to come. You never quite know what will happen when you age a beer: perhaps the body will smooth out, notes of vanilla, oak, and tannins will come to the front, or hints of leather and soy sauce will make themselves known. No matter what, remember that beer is meant for drinking, so don’t keep it to yourself for too long.
Style: Russian Imperial Stout

North Shore Scofflaw Old Tom Gin

New previously only available in Illinois - first time here!
North Shore Scofflaw Old Tom Gin....$29.99
Tasting Notes: Classic notes of juniper, orange peel and coriander, with a floral, fruity finish.  Layered and smooth, with integrated, balanced flavors
Rich, round texture in the classic Old Tom style, extremely sippable and mixable.  

Production Notes
We use a base spirit made from Midwestern grain
We hand prepare a range of organic and wild-harvested botanicals for this gin, including juniper berries, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, anise seed, fresh orange and lemon peels, and osmanthus blossoms, which impart an intriguing, delicate floral and fruit note to the spirit
We infuse the botanicals into our base spirit for varying lengths of time depending on their particular characteristics, and then distill them through Ethel the Still using a slow, meticulous process that enables us to create fresh, bright flavors
After distillation, we add water and a touch of sugar to achieve 90 proof (45% abv), an ideal proof for cocktails
Drink Ideas:
We love Scofflaw Old Tom Gin on the rocks, in a Tom Collins, or a Martinez, and it plays great with hot peppers, cucumber, fresh berries and with floral flavors. It plays very well in a range of cocktails, both classic and new.
Non-gin drinkers are often surprised by how much they enjoy cocktails made with Scofflaw, too.
Find some cocktail ideas in our cocktail respository.

Scofflaw Old Tom Gin is 45% alcohol by volume (90 proof)

Johnnie Walker Black Director's Cut Blade Runner Edition

Scheduled to arrived today!  Will update when it does

Johnnie Walker Black Director's Cut Blade Runner Edition
Thirty-five years from appearing in cult sci-fi classic Blade Runner, Johnnie Walker Black Label returns to the big screen in Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated sequel Blade Runner 2049. To celebrate, Johnnie Walker is releasing Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut, a unique new limited-edition Scotch Whisky created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge in collaboration with visionary filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. In creating the futuristic expression, Jim joined Denis and spent time exploring the characteristic building blocks of flavor behind classic Johnnie Walker blends. Then with an eye on what a whisky could potentially taste like in the Blade Runner 2049 universe, Jim developed a series of different prototypes, each an experiment in flavor based on the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label.


Product Story:

With more than 30 malt and grain whiskies from some of the best distilleries in the world in its DNA, Johnnie Walker Black Label is the blueprint for this unique blend. 49% ABV as a nod to the period in which Blade Runner 2049 is set. The whisky is housed in a futuristic bottle, inspired by the Johnnie Walker Black Label iconic prop from the original Blade Runner film. A classic Johnnie Walker Black Label style but with a contemporary twist. A dark, rich, smooth blend, with clouds of smokiness and a touch of femininity. SRP: $89.99/750ml

2014 Mettler Petite Sirah Estate Grown...$21.99

This giant of a wine has aromas of charred oak, wood smoke and black pepper, with a palate of dense, deep and smoky tones that feel thick, tannic and chewy. It's a tour de force of spicy oak, fruit concentration and mouthcoating texture that's impressive to drink now but will be best after 2024.

Glengoyne Highland Single Malts

Many of you tasted these back in September With Ben Potter of Glengoyne, they have finally arrived!

Glengoyne 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky...$109.99
Fresh, malty and spicy
Spicy vanilla fruit, ripe apples and a rich, luxurious mouthfeel. This is the result of eighteen long years and a generous proportion of first-fill sherry casks.

Glengoyne Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky...$65.99
59.1% ABV

Un-chillfiltered cask strength
Rich, peppery and fruity

Digestive biscuits, ripe bananas and a hint of pepper. This is the taste of Scotland’s slowest distillation, matured in sherry casks crafted from European and American oak. It's then bottled as tradition insists: at cask strength, un-chillfiltered.

• J. Rieger's Caffe Amaro

Let us know on Facebook if you are attending, thanks and share with your friends on facebook


J. Rieger's Kansas City Whiskey
Our bottling of Kansas City Whiskey pays tribute to the original brand by utilizing a blend of Corn, Malt, and Straight Rye Whiskies, as well as a small amount of 15 year old Oloroso Sherry from the Williams & Humbert Bodedga in Jerez, Spain. The use of Sherry in American Whiskey was commonplace in the 1800s, but was lost after prohibition.. Bottled at 90 proof and comprised of Whiskeys aged at least 7 years, our Kansas City Whiskey is a balanced, smooth, and slightly sweet and powerful Whiskey that is beautiful when served neat or on the rocks, but also works well in classic cocktails such as the Horsefeather and Old Fashioned."

Dave Pickerell 

MASTER DISTILLER
DAVE PICKERELL
Dave, a luminary in the world of whiskey, is one of the nation’s preeminent master distillers. Before joining WhistlePig, he spent 14 years as the Master Distiller for Maker’s Mark in Loretto, Kentucky. He joined the WhistlePig team with a simple (yet astoundingly complex) objective: create the finest rye whiskey.

More info about their other products that we will taste

J. Rieger Caffe Amaro
Our Caffé Amaro is a one of a kind take on Coffee Liqueurs. Amaro (the Italian word for ‘bitter’) is a category of liqueur characterized by its bitter, herbal, and slightly sweet flavor which stems from the use of botanicals, herbs, and cane syrup. Caffè Amaro is a collaborative spirit with Kansas City-based coffee roasters, Thou Mayest who selects a single origin coffee roast that we utilize to contribute to the flavors the botanicals generate. Our Caffé Amaro spends a brief amount of time in a whiskey barrel resulting in a rich, bittersweet flavor that works great in cocktails or can be enjoyed by itself after a meal.


J. Rieger Midwestern Dry Gin
Midwestern Dry Gin is inspired by the traditional London Dry Gins that famously emphasize the spicy and aromatic character of mature Juniper berries. By selecting only the finest botanicals from around the world, the result is bold, full-flavored Gin with layers of aroma and a complexity of flavor that makes it perfect for sipping on the rocks or ideal for classic cocktails.


J. Rieger Midwestern Premium Vodka
Our Midwestern Premium Vodka is 100% wheat based and conveys a clean and smooth flavor, as well as a full body and rich texture. Given a final distillation in our 750-gallon copper pot still, we are able to round out the spirit while giving it a full-body mouth feel.

FOS Greek Mastiha Liqueur

FOS Greek Mastiha Liqueur...$33.99
Mastiha Tree, which is also known as the famous Crying Tree, rare and natural tree resin, only grows and is cultivated on the small Mediterranean island of Chios. Nowhere else in the world has it been able to take root, which makes it stubbornly Greek.

Our exceptional Mastiha spirit 'FOS' has been exclusively formulated for Ambrosia Group. Originating from the island of Chios using traditional, tedious collection and cultivation methods, while utilizing modern technology to distill, blend and bottle. Its distinctive aroma, mysterious attributes and therapeutic results are common features of Mastiha. This characteristic, balanced sweet spirit has pronounced notes of cucumber, pine, anise, and fresh herbs. FOS is great as an aperitif or a digestif. Served chilled neat, on the rocks, or mixed in an array of different cocktails...

Needless to say we have ensured that our Mastiha liqueur is made out of 100% pure Mastiha & is NOT scented.

De Ranke Guldenberg Belgian Triple Ale

De Ranke Guldenberg Belgian Triple Ale...$3.99 / 11.2oz
De Ranke beers are robust and flavorful and famous for their massive hoppiness. Made in small batches only on the weekends, they are quickly gaining a reputation as the best specialty beers of Belgium.

A strong blonde ale of about 8.5% alc. by volume that claims vaguely to be an “abbey” beer, Guldenberg bears no resemblance whatsoever to any Tripel you may have sampled, except in color perhaps. It is very hoppy and malty (though not quite as assertive as De Ranke’s XX Bitter). A wine-loving friend of ours pronounced it “too good to be beer.” We’ll just say that Guldenberg shows just how good beer can be.

North Peak new releases

North Peak Torrent Oat IPA....$11.99 / 6pk
ABV: 6.7
Full of the same oat malt haziness and incredibly large additions of late and post fermentation hops. Full flavors and aromas of citrus, passion fruit and grapefruit with hints of spicy pine.

North Peak Mellow Cherry Hibiscus....$9.99
ABV: 7.0
Mellow is more than just a beer, it is Northern Michigan brewed a bottle. It embraces the lifestyle of slowing down and focusing on the beauty of this magical place. Brewed with Michigan cherries and hibiscus, this higher gravity ale has the sweet iconic flavors of the North. Mellow is fruit and sweet with a hint of tartness. Each sip of this big and balanced beer with transport you to the wonders of Northern Michigan.

Jolly Pumpkin - new releases --

Jolly Pumpkin / The Masonry Turbo Bam...$12.99 / 750ml

RYE FARMHOUSE ALE
COLLABORATION WITH THE MASONRY
ABV: 4.9% ABV
TIME IN OAK: 7 Months
HOPS: Michigan Cascade, Cascade, & Crystal
GRAINS: Pilsner, Rye Malt, Crystal 75, & Flaked Barley
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Coriander, Lemon Peel, & Szechuan Peppercorns


Turbo Bam is a Bam variant brewed in collaboration with our friends at The Masonry from Seattle, Washington.  Conceptualized to be the perfect beer to pair with a delicious slice of pizza, Turbo Bam delivers. A hefty portion of rye malt gives Turbo Bam an underlying spice that allows the coriander and Szechuan peppercorns to build upon. The normal Bam Biere hopping regime of cascade and crystal hops are accentuated with the inclusion of amarillo hops and lemon peel, to put Turbo Bam into high gear with blasts of lemon, pineapple and mango.

Jolly Pumpkin Saison M Letter Series....$12.99 / 750ml

Sour Saison - Letter Series
ABV: 7.1%
TIME IN OAK: 6 Months
HOPS: Michigan Chinook & Michigan Cascade
GRAINS: Michigan Pilsner, Michigan Spelt, & Michigan Munich 10
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Michigan Dextrose

Saison M is the 5th member of Ron Jeffries non-alphabetic Letter Series. Saison M was brewed with all ingredients sourced from our great state of Michigan. The grains – Pilsner, Spelt and Munich 10, were all malted by our friends at Pilot Malt House and the Cascade and Chinook hops come from Churchkey Farms. Our process of open fermentation allows the natural occurring wild yeast of Dexter to also work its way into this beer, resulting in the Michigan trinity we are proud to call Saison M.

Saison M is a well-balanced confluence of Michigan agriculture with notes of lemon, pineapple, and resinous pine. Mild bitterness washes over the tongue before giving way to hints of oak and moderate acidity.

4 Hands Bone of Contention
