With Fruit in the bottle
The original taste of CHOYA. Classic balance of sweetness and tartness. 100% Japanese ume.  A uniquely sweet and gently tart taste of ume fruit with notes of almond from the pit. Serve straight and slightly chilled or on-the-rocks.

The DISTILLERS EDITION is a collection of master-craftsmanship. Each cask in the series is individually selected and perfectly matched to the character of each of the single malts refined here. The two-parted maturation process gives more depth and complexity, which is the idea behind the limited DISTILLERS EDITION: preserving the perfection of the single malts that have already been awarded for their outstanding flavours. The selected taste nuances are more strongly accentuated in a way that is not found in the regular bottlings, but with fully maintaining the original character of these fine single malts.

In stock at Kirkwood and online! Two new wines from Armenia!

 

In stock at Kirkwood and online! Two new wines from Armenia!

Armenia is the quite literally the birthplace of wine. The oldest known winery was discovered here, and it dates back to over 6,000 years ago! While Armenia has a long grape growing tradition, production of table wine was halted during the era of the Soviet Union, when they were forced to focus solely on Brandy (neighboring Georgia became the center of wine production during this time). When they gained independence in 1991, the winemaking industry was revitalized, and modern production methods + international distribution are making Armenia a rising star once again.Areni is a thick skinned grape that was never subjected to phylloxera, and always grafted on its own roots, making it a hearty, one of a kind grape variety. It has the elegance of Pinot Noir, but the structure of Syrah. The Voskehat is a medium body white wine akin to a bone-dry Chenin Blanc or French Chardonnay. These wines are outstanding for the price point!

2018 Zulal Areni Red...$19.99 / 750ml

Areni is Armenia’s leading red grape variety, capable of making energetic wines full of bright fruity flavors. Zulal, meaning ‘pure’ in Armenian, was created to express the purest characteristics of Armenia’s indigenous grape varieties grown in volcanic soils at high elevation. The 2018 Areni is a classic expression of the ancient Areni variety.

The 2018 Areni is an aromatic wine with notes of red cherries, plums and notes of pepper. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, with refreshing acidity and concentrated flavors of berries and spices.

2020 Zulal Voskehat White...$19.99 / 750ml

Voskehat is an ancient white variety indigenous to Armenia. It results in fuller bodied wine with flavors of stone fruits, flowers and delicate notes of herbs.

This is a dry, medium-to-full bodied wine with aromas of ripe apple, pear and honeysuckle balanced by a crisp, savory herb backbone. Pale golden yellow in color, it has a long finish and a pleasing minerality.

Balanced for optimal aromatics and a clean finish. The perfect reward for an honest day’s work and the ultimate companion to celebrate life’s simple pleasures.

All Day Haze:
We often have our head in the clouds – and once again we came back down with an exciting idea: let’s take the drinkability of All Day IPA and bring it to a hazy! That’s just what we did with All Day Haze Hazy IPA. A substantial amount of oats and wheat lend a whimsical fogginess, while Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo hops create an explosion of aroma. A sessionable, cloudy treat that can be enjoyed in any weather, hazy or otherwise.

All Day West Coast:

Crimson sky at night, a drinking delight! There’s a lot to enjoy about All Day Crimson Sky no matter what time of day you choose to enjoy it. Brewed with Azacca, Mosaic, Centennial and Chinook hops and a hefty malt bill, you’ll revel in floral, pine and grapefruit notes with each sip of this delicately sweet and moderately bitter Session Red IPA.

Plus, there’s actual citrus in the form of sweet orange peel. Add an unprecedented trio of hops – Mosaic, Southern Aroma (from South Africa) and 843 (a Stone-sponsored experimental variety from HBC - Hop Breeding Company) and you’ve got quite the magical moment.
