Hard Truth Farmer's Reserve Mellencamp Whiskey

Hard Truth Farmer's Reserve Mellencamp Whiskey.....$65.99
MWC Release #2
Hard Truth Distilling Co. has partnered with Mellencamp Whiskey Co. — founded by Hud Mellencamp and Levi Collison — to release a limited series of collectible sweet mash whiskeys in support and celebration of America’s heartland farmers.
This is the second release in a series of four whiskeys, with each bottle featuring original artwork by John Mellencamp and a previously unreleased Sweet Mash Whiskey. This expression brings together a unique combination of Hard Truth’s Chocolate Malt Rye and Sweet Mash Bourbon rested on toasted Amburana wood.
Created to celebrate Indiana’s small, independent, and heritage farmers, this whiskey uses primarily Indiana grains, and a portion of sales from each bottle will go to support Indiana’s sustainable farming initiatives and local farming families via Grounded in Truth, Hard Truth’s cause platform.
Grounded in Truth supports agriculturally focused not-for-profit organizations — like Farm Aid, its first giving partner — that provide valuable resources and support for family farmers.

Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator

Laberinto Cenizas de Laberinto Sauvignon Blanc

2022 Laberinto Cenizas Sauvignon Blanc...$21.99
The 2022 Cenizas de Laberinto Sauvignon Blanc is sharp and vibrant, with 12.6% alcohol, a pH of 3.04 and 8.77 grams of acidity. It was produced with grapes from vines planted in 1993 on volcanic ash soils. In 2022, Tirado macerated a bit more, looking for a little more structure. The wine didn't go through malolactic and was bottled after eight months with lees. This is sharp as a knife, with subtle aromas of meat broth and savory rather than floral or exotic, less varietal, complex, austere and mineral, with a rocky sensation. It's textured and tasty, clean, long and nuanced, fresh and balanced, with the cool sensation of the cold nights. He's worked a lot through decantation to be able to bottle the wine unfiltered, and the wine is bright and clean. It's an amazing wine, one of the finest values in Chile. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2022. Experience with older vintages tells me this wine is going to develop nicely in bottle.

The palate is viscous in texture and bold in flavor, offering more black cherry and a heavy dose of toasted spices.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Enthusiast

2021 Elouan Pinot Noir...$16.99
Harmonious and elegant on the palate with flavors, of rich red plum, bright cherry, subtle earthiness and a hint of sweet tobacco, creating complex layers with soft, refined tannins.
Jump right into ripe black fruit-blackberry and plum-as it permeates the palate. Sweet tobacco builds a textural coating, with a creamy core of smashed black raspberry.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest Oak Aged Lager

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest Oak Aged Lager...$9.99 / 6pk cans
A classic amber lager in the Vienna style, which was first served at the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich in 1872. Vienna lagers were so popular that they dominated the festival for decades until they were eventually edged out by lighter colored beers that came into favor in the second half of the 20th century. Czech Saaz hops are used, which are the classic variety from Bohemia and were dominant in the Vienna style, dating back to when Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire and provided most of the hops for the region’s breweries. Our version is dominated by toasty malt flavors and is balanced by a delicate floral and spicy Saaz hop flavor and bitterness.
