BCN Mut Mediterranean Dry Vermouth Ambre

 

BCN Mut Mediterranean Dry Vermouth Ambre...$26.99
Crafted in Priorat – Savoured in Barcelona
A new and exclusive vermouth for those who like the authentic and for those who seek to savour the best of the Mediterranean and the magic of Barcelona.
Our alcohol for the elaboration of the vermouth is obtained from the distillation of wine lees selected from native varieties of the Priorat: Cariñena and Garnacha. Next, we macerate at room temperature for a few weeks a selection of traditional botanicals: clove, angelica, cinnamon and wormwood, with spring water and the alcohol obtained from the distillation of the wine lees.

One of the best kept secrets of our vermouth, is the formula that combines the unique botanicals that bloom in the mountains of Priorat, such as juniper berries, rosemary, elderflower and especially orange peel.
Dry and complex, with aromas of bergamot, elderflower, wild herbs and an exceptional touch from the bitterness of the orange peel.
The ideal aperitif to take with a touch of soda or neat on the rocks, a little lemon and an olive. It is also an ideal vermouth to add depth and additional complexity to a dry martini or a Negroni cocktail by combining them with BCN GIN.

Oka Japanese Bermutto...$26.99 / 720ml

Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne

2009 Louis Roederer Vintage Champagne...$69.99
Composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, this vintage offers rich, yeasty aromas, followed by brioche, plum, pear, gingersnap, cranberry, and roasted nuts. Champagne Louis Roederer owns more than 590 acres within the three best sub regions of Champagne—Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côtes des Blancs—215 of which are farmed Bio-dynamically. With seventh generation winemaker Frédéric Rouzard at the helm, it remains a family-owned house to this day.
Rated 96/100 Tasting Panel
A set of more north-facing vineyards here deliver a more restrained, mineral and compact pinot noir. Nevertheless, the nose has terrific ripe-fruit expression (a warmer vintage), and the oak fermentation (30%) works well to wrap the exuberant fruit into the mix of more mineral characters. The palate has plenty of lemon and grapefruit citrus, lemon zest and honey. This has done no malolactic and really delivers on the finish. Wonderfully clean, balanced and layered. Drinking well now but age through to 2025 with confidence for a more savory style.

Screaming Eagle Second Flight

 Just a few bottles of each in stock now!

2011 Screaming Eagle Second Flight.....$799.98
Deep garnet colored, the 2011 Second Flight (a blend of 54% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc) offers up a gorgeous perfume of wilted roses and violets over a core of blackberry tart, raspberry preserves and kirsch with subtle baking spices and garrigue notions. Medium to full-bodied with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, it has wonderfully perfumed layers and an exotic spice-laced finish. It has a surprising amount of weight and concentration for this cool, rainy vintage. Winemaker Nick Gislason informed me that the last pick was on November 1 this year—which is extremely late! But this later harvest clearly paid off when you consider how ripe the tannins are on this beauty.

2012 Screaming Eagle Second Flight.....$799.98
Composed of 43% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Cabernet Franc and with a very deep garnet-purple color, the 2012 Second Flight has an enticingly savory nose with notes of smoked meats, yeast extract, tapenade and truffles over a core of crème de cassis and plum preserves plus a touch of Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated in the mouth, it has firm, velvety tannins and plenty of background freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and spicy.

2013 Screaming Eagle Second Flight.....$799.98
Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Second Flight simply sings of spiced blueberries, black forest cake and preserved plums with suggestions of star anise, baker’s chocolate, fertile loam and dried Provence herbs with a hint of lavender. Big, concentrated, full-bodied and packed to the gills with black fruits, exotic spice and floral layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with epic length and loads of layers. Still very taut, it needs at least another 2-3 years in bottle. Interestingly, this full-on hedonistic vintage has one of the largest Merlot contributions ever for this wine: 65% Merlot with 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc.

Penelope Bourbon
OUR STORY

Penelope Bourbon is a company that was crafted in the classic entrepreneurial tradition. Mike Paladini and his wife, Kerry teamed up with his close friend and childhood next door neighbor, Danny Polise. Both grew up in Basking Ridge, NJ. They began to embark on creating a bourbon that everyone could enjoy and love.

Both found out in 2018 that their wives were expecting. Mike and Kerry always knew that if they had a girl, her name would be Penelope. The day they found out they were having girl, a light bulb went off. Mike and Kerry decided they wanted to bring together two things they both love so dearly – their soon-to-be baby girl, Penelope and Straight Bourbon Whiskey. A company was born.

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin...$33.99

Compare to $36.99 at Total Wine and More
We set out to create an extraordinary cocktail experience that would delight the senses. Micro-distilled in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 is handcrafted using eight carefully selected botanicals. Our inspiration and ingredients are what make Empress 1908 an exceptional gin. Whether you enjoy a classic Empress & Tonic, or you are a mixologist creating one of our seriously delicious signature cocktails, Empress 1908 Gin transforms any home into a cocktail bar and any cocktail maker (that is you) into an expert creator. 

Handcrafted in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 Gin is a collaboration between Victoria Distillers and the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. On top of traditional botanicals, we add a signature blend of black tea served at the Empress Hotel and butterfly pea blossom, an exotic herb that balances the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and gives the gin its natural indigo colour. Empress 1908’s combination of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable presentation provide the perfect base for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment.


OUR UNIQUE COLOUR
Butterfly pea blossom gives Empress 1908 its distinct indigo hue. Discovered in another bespoke Empress tea blend, the pea blossom imbues the gin with a distinctive earthy note that balances traditional citrus notes and yields a rich pigmentation. This deep indigo hue changes to bright lavender, soft pink, or fuchsia depending on the mixer, adding to the rich sensory experience of enjoying an Empress 1908 cocktail. No artificial colours or stabilizers are used, so while the flavour will last forever, the unique indigo colour will fade over time. Fading is accelerated by exposure to sunlight, so we recommend that you experience each bottle within a year of purchase and store it in a cool, dark place. After all, a gin this beautiful is meant to be enjoyed at its best.
