New Expressions from Don Julio

New from Don Julio - 
two limited releases!
Don Julio Alma Miel Tequila Joven...$94.99
Introducing Tequila Don Julio Alma Miel
Alma Miel is classified as a Joven tequila. The Spanish word “Joven” translates to “young”. Joven tequila is made from a blend of unaged and aged tequilas. Continuing Don Julio González’s legacy of living Por Amor to craft only the exceptional, Tequila Don Julio pays homage to the heart and soul of tequila with the introduction of Tequila Don Julio Alma Miel, a blend of Blanco tequila distilled with oven-roasted agave honey and Añejo tequila which has been aged for at least 14 months and finished in Crémant du Limoux barrels. The result is an extraordinary tequila with slightly sweet notes of agave honey, spiced orchard fruit, creamy caramel, and rich roasted agave creating a lusciously smooth sipping tequila. Best enjoyed in its purest form, neat or on the rocks.


Don Julio Ultima Reserva Tequila Extra Anejo....$359.99
In 2006, Don Julio, with his family, planted their final agave field. In honor of his devotion and craftsmanship, this agave harvest was carefully distilled, barreled, and set aside for a special use. To preserve this tequila and the exquisite agave piñas behind it, we have implemented a Solera aging system. The Solera aging method combines and matures tequilas of different characteristics finished in unique casks, allowing the final agave harvest to remain at the heart of this rare Extra Añejo Tequila. Our Ultima Reserva has been rested in oak, previously used to age bourbon, and finished in Madeira wine-seasoned casks. Salud, to creating only the exceptional.

Beurre de Baratte Fleur de Sel



Fresh batch in stock now at Forsyth only right now!
Le Meunier Beurre de Baratte Fleur de Sel "Salted"...$13.99 / 9oz

From the LA Times
"....But it was no mystery to anyone who has sampled the unbelievably tasty Beurre de Baratte — the French butter that is a featured ingredient on high-end menus at restaurants including Providence, Petit Trois and Republique. The guy in the white jacket at the center of the throng of chefs and food writers was Rodolphe Le Meunier, whose name is on every gold-foiled package. And in cheese circles, he’s a rock star. In a way, it’s funny that the thing he’s best known for in Southern California is his butter. At least until you taste it. Beurre de Baratte makes every other butter you taste seem insipid. It’s expensive, certainly (most restaurants serve it only with a surcharge). But as indulgences go, it's so good that it seems a relative bargain.

Le Meunier says the butter is made to his specifications in small lots by a producer in Normandy. The cream is inoculated with bacteria and fermented for a couple of hours — like yogurt. Then it's churned in an old-fashioned beater, orbaratte. Beurre de Baratte comes salted (aggressively, with fleur de sel) and sweet (unsalted). Both are a deep golden color and incredibly richly flavored, almost more like cheese than regular butter. The unsalted is best for cooking, but it needs to be used carefully because of its high moisture content (open a package and you'll probably see a little water weeping from the pat). Le Meunier says it’s great for baking cakes, not so much for crisp crusts. One of his favorite treats is to spread it on hot toast and sprinkle it with chocolate powder. If the thought of that doesn't get you salivating, you haven't tasted great butter. “And if you ever make beurre blanc with it and serve that on a nice piece of fish, oooooh,” he says, shaking his hand in the universal gesture for sublimity.

... the market, is well-stocked with the Beurre de Baratt for from the young cheese master Rodolphe Le Meunier, who is kind of the Jimmy Page of affineurs, a genuine Meilleur Ouvrier de France. (Beurre de Baratte is butter made the old-fashioned way; churned rather than extracted with a centrifuge.)

More to the point, perhaps, the pungent, deep-yellow Normandy butter has become a cult item in some of Los Angeles’ best restaurants. Early reviews of Walter Manzke’s restaurant République dwelled as much on the magnificence of the butter, for which he charged extra, as they did on his roast chicken or pork terrine. On recent visits to Petit Trois, it was unnecessary for the waiter to identify the soft butter that came with the baguette – the nutty, salty, umami-rich taste, like popcorn butter times 10, was unmistakable.

Westmalle Trappist 3pk Variety with Glass

 
Westmalle Trappist 3pk Variety with Glass...$16.99 / 3pk 
Each pack comes with:
  • Westmalle Trapist Tripel x 1
  • Westmalle Trapist Extra x 1
  • Westmalle Trapist Dubbel x 1
  • Westmalle glass x 1
Tripel:
Complex and balanced Tripel
Westmalle Tripel is a clear, yellowy golden Trappist beer containing 9.5% alcohol. The slow brewing process and secondary fermentation in the bottle produce a complex beer that has a fruity aroma of ripe banana and a lovely nuanced hop nose. The soft and creamy flavour, with its bitter note carried by the fruit aroma, is full of finesse and elegance. Also enjoy the deliciously long, dry finish.
Beer connoisseurs call Westmalle Tripel the “mother of all tripels” as the first Tripel ever was brewed inside our abbey walls in 1934.
Extra:
Refreshing, light and full of flavour.
Westmalle Extra may have a low alcohol content of 4.8%, but it has a surprisingly full-bodied flavour. This golden-blond Trappist beer is very refreshing and thirst-quenching. With its fruity notes and rich aroma, Westmalle Extra delivers a taste experience that is very much Westmalle.
This is one of Westmalle Abbey’s oldest beers. In 1836, the monks started brewing a light, tasty beer for their own consumption. It was from this tradition that Westmalle Extra was born.
Dubbel:
Fruity and wonderfully refreshing
Westmalle’s dark, red-brown Trappist beer, the Dubbel (7%), features a rich and complex flavour thanks to secondary fermentation in the bottle. The Dubbel is characterised by notes of caramel, malt and fruity esters reminiscent of ripe banana. The first taste of Westmalle Dubbel is a creamy thick head of foam. When finished, the beer leaves lacework traces behind in the glass, but the most memorable part of this balanced Trappist beer with soft mouthfeel is undoubtedly the long, dry finish.
The name ‘Dubbel’ refers to a doubling of the ingredients of the light, original Trappist beer that the monks brewed for themselves.
