Albert Mann Pinot Auxerrois

Great price on this Alsatian White!


2021 Albert Mann Pinot Blanc Auxerrois Alsace...$14.99
SUPER SALE! Regular Price...$19.99
This is an excellent introduction to the dry whites of Alsace, being simultaneously juicy, creamy and zesty with stacks of stone fruit and citrusy freshness, but with moderate acidity at the lingering finish. 70% auxerrois and 30% pinot blanc. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.  Auxerrois, one of dozens of progenies of Pinot and the rather obscure white grape widely planted in Burgundy in medieval times, Gouais Blanc, is the most similar to Pinot Blanc.

Letherbee Strawberry / Gin Cordial

OMGEEEE this is delicious!!!

Letherbee Strawberry Cordial...$22.99/750ml
2024’s Vernal Strawberry Cordial is a continuation of Letherbee's new work with fruit and celebrates warm weather’s most anticipated juice-bomb: STRAWBERRIES!

Strawberry juice is carefully blended with a precious little recipe of neutral grain spirit compounded with a proprietary blend of botanicals, neutral French oak, hand-harvested Chicago rooftop honey, and some of our Original Label Gin. The result is a bright, juicy, dry, aromatic enigma of some of earth’s finest blessings.

We encourage you to think of and to use this like a dry aromatized wine. Drink straight! Spritz it! Mix with Tonic! A Cosmo! A Vesper! Don’t let us stop you! Go off!

For best results, serve chilled and keep chilled after. 16.7% ABV


Apologue Paw Paw Liqueur

 


Apologue Spirits Paw Paw Liqueur...$36.99/750ml
The paw paw is a native North American tree known for the fruit it bears in the late summer through early fall. The fruits are green on the outside, yellow on the inside and grow to a length of up to six inches. Many Missourians use the pulp, which is roughly the same consistency as a banana, to make bread, pie, jelly and custard. The flavor is often compared to that of a banana, mango or kiwi. Pawpaw trees themselves are short and serve as forest undergrowth.

Rare and elusive, the Paw Paw is a fruit like no other with a taste reminiscent of banana and mango. Showcased here alongside crisp granny smith apple and fresh peach, hand split vanilla beans and mellow marshmallow root with just a touch of ginger heat and bright lime peel. Think: autumn on a tropical island. Pairs particularly well with agave spirits and rum.--Apologue website


Paw Paw is a favorite ingredient at the acclaimed STL restaurant, Bulrush!

Rockwood Lump Charcoal

Get ready for the 4th of July


Rockwood Lump Charcoal...$21.99 / 20lb Bag
It is currently the number #1 rated hard wood charcoal on the Nakedwhiz.com
100% Missouri hardwood charcoal.
When we poured the charcoal out onto the ground for sorting, we all hardwood charcoal with nothing that shouldn't have been there. As you can see from the following chart, the distribution of sizes was exceptional with the percentage of chips and dust falling below 5%. This is very low compared to all other charcoals we have tested. The bag contained almost an extra pound of charcoal, so we ended up with almost 20 pounds of usable charcoal.
There was no sparking or popping when lighting the charcoal in a chimney starter and the fire was somewhat slow to spread. The smoke coming off the charcoal during lighting was very mild, as mild as we think we have ever noticed.
During our maximum temperature test, the charcoal burned at just over 900° which is high compared to other brands we've tested. Again, the fire was rather slow to spread and build up to the high temperature it achieved.
When it came to burn time, this charcoal came in as the fourth longest burning lump charcoal we have ever tested. The ash produced was very low compared to other brands.
You get a charcoal that doesn't over power the food, allowing you to control the smoke flavor yourself with chips or chunks, and a charcoal that burns a good long time producing little ash and delivering good value for money. This charcoal gets our Highly Recommended rating.

Righteous Road Gibor Whiskey Liqueur...$39.99 / 750ml
Whiskey Liqueur
An original blend of straight rye and bourbon whiskeys with Righteous Seven liqueur.
GIBOR™ (‘ghee-bore’) is a new brand of whiskey liqueur being introduced by Righteous Road Craft Spirits.
It is our first product launch with whiskey and we have spent considerable time getting to the right combination of rye and bourbon blended together with our award winning Righteous Seven liqueur.
There are very few whiskey liqueurs on the market and hardly any that we know of that are a combination of rye and bourbon blended with a fruit liqueur, up at 80 proof. The rye we used on this first batch is a high rye at 95% with 5% malted barley, aged at 4.25 years. The bourbon is 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, aged at 3.5 years. Our Righteous Seven® liqueur is made from wheat, barley, grapes, pomegranates, figs, olives, and dates.
Once blended and rested, this whiskey liqueur brings a taste profile that combines notes of spice and caramel together with the forest fruits and chocolate tones of Righteous Seven, all in one satisfying and smooth pour.
GIBOR is best experienced neat or on the rocks. Enjoy as well with your favorite cigar.
A ‘Gibor’ is the Hebrew word for a ‘strong and mighty one.’ A Gibor shows fortitude and courage to maintain moral virtue when challenge and adversity knock at the door. We hope you enjoy it and that your ride is a righteous on

The E.Traber Riesling shows a shiny lemon yellow with shimmering gold-green reflections in the glass. Aromas of lemon, grapefruit, apricot, peach and wet stone seduce our nose. The E.Traber Riesling fills the mouth with power and structure. Stone fruits paired with a lively acidity and gentle petroleum aromas conquer our palate. The mineral flint note gives the Riesling another detail of spice. The E.Traber Riesling promises a storage potential of 10 years, but is also wonderfully fresh, fruity and stimulating to drink now.

Try it with grilled asparagus and a poached egg.

2020 E. Traber Alsace Pinot Noir...$24.99
Yes, red wine from Alsace
Intense spicy nose with dark berries and sour cherries. The palate is round and lush with flavors of cherry and a touch of cocoa. This is a medium bodied elegant Pinot Noir from Alsace that is perfect food wine. Very well made Pinot Noir!

Great Sparkling wine from Alsace!

Blackadder Black Snake VAT 2 Venom 6

 
Blackadder Black Snake VAT 2 Venom 6...$71.99 / 700ml
No age statement, finished in PX and Oloroso Sherry butts
This whisky is from a Vatting of casks of Single Malt Whisky. It has been finished in an Oloroso Sherry Butt - bottled without chill-filtration and there is no added color.
Black snake starts its life in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. We then put three of them into new Oloroso or PX Butts and leave them for about a year for further maturation before bottling two-thirds of each cask. We call these casks 'Vats' as they are a kind of mini Solera.
After each bottling, we add two more ex-Bourbon casks, always of the same whisky, and leave for around a year before again bottling two-thirds of the Vat. All future bottlings from each vatting of Black Snake will therefore contain some spirit that was in the previous expressions from the Butt. From time to time the Butt is renewed.
Each time we bottle we call it Venom, as in the poison from a snake's bite. The first bottling from each Vat is called First Venom, and the second bottling is called Second Venom, and so on.

Smoke Wagon Desert Colt Full Strength Bourbon

In stock!

Smoke Wagon Desert Colt Full Strength Bourbon....$35.99
Uncut the Younger -> now Desert Colt, our second expression in the entry level category is finally here! Consisting mainly of 4 year 36% rye bourbon from several floors and warehouse locations. Desert Colt is blended to be fruit forward, with tons of candy flavor notes and finishing with some bold cinnamon spice with gentle heat. It’s non chill filtered so it’s buttery and creamy, drinking more delicately than one would think based on its proof.

The journey to create Uncut the Younger began around October 2020. I tried a Straight Bourbon blend before proofing it down and I was really impressed with the flavor profile. It was fruit forward with tons of delicate candy flavors and big cinnamon spice on the finish. My original thought was to create a younger version of Uncut Unfiltered, and release it as a Rare and Limited batch. In December 2020, when the first Rare and Limiteds’ were announced, I quickly realized that a R&L would never retail for less than regular Uncut, so the idea was put on a back burner.
A few months later the company that makes our clear stock bottles for Straight, informed me they were coming out with an amber version. I was interested and I knew exactly what to use those for. I let them know I wanted as many as they could get me. Releasing a Rare & Limited younger Uncut was one thing, but being able to offer an affordable cask strength bourbon that could be one of our core expressions AND a high proof lover’s daily sipper, really got me excited. I truly believe having superior and affordable bourbons is essential. Also I wanted Straight to have a cask strength sibling the way Small Batch has Uncut Unfiltered, it all just made sense.
A year and a half later - Uncut the Younger -> now Desert Colt, our second expression in the entry level category is finally here! Consisting mainly of 4 year 36% rye bourbon from several floors and warehouse locations. Desert Colt is blended to be fruit forward, with tons of candy flavor notes and finishing with some bold cinnamon spice with gentle heat. It’s non chill filtered so it’s buttery and creamy, drinking more delicately than one would think based on its proof.
Hope you love drinking it as much as I loved creating it!
Cheers,
Aaron
