Planters / TWCP Good Bounty Single Barrel Rye....$69.99
114.8 proof
In the days leasing up to Thanksgiving, the farmhouse bustled with activity.  We gathered together to harvest the last of the season's bounty.  Filling baskets with pumpkins, apples, and hearty root vegetables.  The kitchen became a hub of culinary creativity.  As we prepared traditional dishes to share with family and friends.  As Thanksgiving day arrived, we gathered around the table, hands joined in gratitude for the abundance that surrounded us.  The meal was a celebration of the harvest, each dish a testament to the farm's bounty and the love that went into its cultivation and as we shared stories and laughter, there was the warmth and contentment that filled the room.

Avery Old Jubilation English Style Old Ale

Avery Old Jubilation Winter Ale...$11.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
English Strong Ale
Our winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnut, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Before founding Avery Brewing Co., one of Adam Avery's most-loved styles of beer was the English Strong Ale. Wanting something a little bigger, he created Old Jubilation. This beer was massive when it came out in 1997, but Adam still decided to put it in 6-packs as a holiday gift to Avery fans. To us, "Old Jube" feels like an old friend coming home for the holidays. And, at 8.3% ABV, it's also well-suited to take the edge off at uncomfortable holiday family gatherings.

Boulevard Brewing Fancy Livin White Sangria

 
Boulevard Brewing Fancy Livin White Sangria...$9.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
Ancient Romans, the OG mixologists, began a trend of blending red wine with water, herbs, and sweeteners. As the trend evolved, 15th-century Spaniards added their flair by incorporating fruit, followed by 20th-century innovators deciding red wine wasn't the only star of the show with white wine dancing into the mix. As the world becomes more interconnected, so does the sangria scene. Our white sangria sour ale is a testament to that evolution, bringing a bright new spin on a centuries-old tradition. Cheers to the fruity fusion of Fancy Livin'.

Highland Park Cask Strength Release No.3

ABV : 64.1%

New release
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No.5...$99.99 / 750ml
ABV : 64.7%
By bottling straight from the cask without adding water to reduce the alcohol content, we present our whisky in its purest form.  Cask Strength is the very essence of Highland Park and amplifies the key strands of our signature flavour profile.




More info on No. 3
Bottled straight from the cask, without adding water to reduce alcohol content, delivers the extraordinary depth, complexity and balance of flavours that’s now the established hallmark of our Cask Strength series. Release No. 3 is no exception.
This third release has been created using an expertly balanced combination of three cask types – first-fill sherry seasoned American and European oak casks and a smaller quantity of refill casks for balance and depth. Using a higher proportion of Orkney peated malt, our Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion, has achieved an intensely smoky character, coming through first on the nose with aromas of smouldering peat and lightly charred oak, balanced by honey-glazed lemons and crushed aniseed.
Discover what best suits your palate by experimenting with the amount of water you add as you release this whisky’s distinctive notes of ripe mango, cloudy heather honey and whipped vanilla cream with a hint of aromatic violet. Pink grapefruit zest, freshly-baked sponge cake and a final gust of heathery peat smoke provide a long and distinctive finish.
We’ve been crafting our award-winning whisky at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, since 1798. Age, experience and respect for tradition may define our whisky, but it’s Orkney that sets it apart. Something magic happens here and the result is the wild harmony of flavours found in our whisky.

Hotaling arrived in San Francisco during the California Gold Rush, but like the vast majority, failed to make his fortune as a gold miner. After working for a local liquor merchant, Hotaling found his true calling and opened his San Francisco wholesaler liquor business in 1865, under the name “A.P. Hotaling & Co.” A.P.
