Atxa Vino Vermouth

Atxa Vino Vermouth Rojo...$17.99
Vermouth is a fortified and aromatized wine that is macerated with a selection of herbs, fruits and roots. The word “vermouth” comes from the German word for “wormwood”, which was originally one of its primary infused ingredients. Acha’s Vino Vermouth Rojo is made in accordance with an old recipe passed down through the Acha family. It is made from a blend of a neutral wine and alcohol macerated with a selection of traditional botanicals including wormwood, gentian, and cherry.

Tasting Notes Licorice and wild herbs framed by bitter components and a markedly wild berry fruit.

Serving Recommendation The Vino Vermouth Rojo is a sipping vermouth. Try serving as an aperitif over ice and garnished with an orange wedge or lemon slice. This Vermouth will also work exceptionally well in your favorite cocktail.

Atxa Vino Vermouth Dry...$17.99
Vermouth is a fortified and aromatized wine that is macerated with a selection of herbs, fruits and roots. The word “vermouth” comes from the German word for “wormwood”, which is historically one of its primary infused ingredients. Acha’s Vino Vermouth Dry is made with a different species of wormwood than their other selections: Roman wormwood. This less-bitter variety is abundantly grown in Spain and imparts more delicate flavors better suited to dry vermouth.

Tasting Notes This vermouth is decidedly herbal over botanical in its flavor profile. Dried marjoram and rosemary on the nose give way to gentle, but persistent, wormwood on the palate with a long, bitter finish.

Serving Recommendation The Vino Vermouth Dry is an ideal cocktail vermouth with depth and character that manages to play nicely with a variety of blending partners.

• 101 Proof
• Bottled 11/30/17

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirits is basically Wild Turkey 101 aged longer and a single barrel.  It is aged about 9 years where the "regular" 101 is about 6 years.


This review is not specific to our barrel, but obviously there are similarities....
Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Stunningly complex, harmonious bouquet that includes aromas of pepper, ripe apple, saddle leather, pecan and caramel; a regal bouquet that needs to be approached slowly. In the mouth, melded flavors of candied almond, walnut, vanilla extract, red fruit and old oak dazzle the taste buds. Warm, biscuity, toasted aftertaste. A gold standard for Bourbon.

Glendronach Peated Single Malt Scotch

Glendronach Peated Single Malt Scotch...$58.99
In contrast to the traditional, non-peated character of the GlenDronach, this particular whisky has, unusually, been distilled using peated malted barley. The GlenDronach ‘Peated’ pays homage to the peat historically used to dry the malted barley in the traditional floor matlings during the early days of the distillery. The subtle peated notes in this intriguing expression complement the classic GlenDronach Highland character and the rich sherry notes drawn from the wood.

NOSE: A delightful aroma of ripe gooseberries dusted with cinnamon sugar combines with a contrasting crisp citrus twist. The delicate peat influence gives a smouldering charred wood character filled with freshly ground barley and hints of vanilla toffee.

PALATE: Vibrant oak spices and floral heather honey develop to rosehips and barley sugars, all warmed by a touch of white pepper. Subtle peat notes complement the palate by giving a delicate depth and dryness of glowing campfire embers.

CONCLUSION: A unique marriage of crisp fruit and barley-laden Highland characteristics surrounded by gentle peat smoke, intriguingly reminiscent of heather burning in the distant glens.

Port Askaig Islay Single Malt Scotch

Port Askaig Islay Single Malt Scotch...$59.99

110 Proof

Introduction  Nestled into the north coast of the island, Port Askaig has been the gateway to Islay for hundreds of years. For many it is the start of a journey that will stay with them for a lifetime.

Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malt whiskies that embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people. Its character brings together the robust smokiness and soft fruitiness found in this beguiling island.

Limited Batch:  Each expression within the range is bottled in limited batches. While recognising that each bottling will vary, the aim is to achieve a consistency of quality and character over time. To ensure each whisky maintains its original flavour and character, the whiskies are not chill-filtered and no colouring is added.
Tradition evolved

In a world of change, we believe there is still a place for tradition. However, one that embraces evolution and new ideas required to make it ever better. We believe that the expert cask selection and traditional yet contemporary look of the packaging will ensure Port Askaig stands shoulder to shoulder with Islay’s more established brands for many years to come.
