Pierre Ferrand Cognac

Pierre Ferrand Selection des Anges Cognac...$199.99 / 750ml
Paradoxically vibrant, yet with the rich roundness that comes with age, Sélection des Anges allows us to experience the divine harmony of nature and pleasure. Sélection des Anges opens with a bouquet reminiscent of baking on a spring day. A pastry profile fresh from the oven of raisin, honey, vanilla, apricot is followed by elegant floral notes of rose and jasmine from the garden. Sélection des Anges is a magical elixir that allows our senses to frolic.

Pierre Ferrand 10 Generations Cognac...$58.99 / 750ml
10 Générations is round and opulent with notes of pepper, nutmeg, baked pear, honey, and white flowers. Much like the 10 generations of Elie Ferrands that came before, this bold cognac is a showstopper and can hold its own simply in the classic Old Fashioned:

• 2 OZ FERRAND 10 GÉNÉRATIONS
• 0.25 OZ SIMPLE SYRUP
• 2 DASHES OF ANGOSTURA BITTERS
•  STIR ALL INGREDIENTS WITH ICE AND POUR OVER A LARGE CLEAR ICE CUBE

Pierre Ferrande 1840 Original 1er Cru de Cognac...$42.99 / 750ml
The bold character of 1840 Original Formula is perfect for the alluringly fresh Mint Julep. Jerry Thomas, renowned 19th century bartender and one of the first to extensively compile cocktail recipes, made his classic Mint Julep with cognac. We highly suggest doing the same:

• - 2.5 OZ FERRAND 1840 ORIGINAL FORMULA
• - 0.5 OZ SIMPLE SYRUP
• - 15 MINT LEAVES PLUS MORE FOR GARNISH

Gently muddle mint and syrup in bottom of julep cup. Add cognac and fill level with crushed ice. Gently stir until cup frosts over then top up with mound of fresh crushed ice and garnish with the reserved mint
Et voilà. In the words of Jerry Thomas himself, you now have yourself a “julep that is fit for an emperor.”

Pierre Ferrand 1er Cru de Cognac Ambre...$49.99 / 750ml
Having spent enough time in oak to provide a rich foundation while remaining fresh and fruity, the unique qualities of Ambré make it perfect for the Sidecar cocktail. The Cocktail Codex, by our friends at Death & Co, uses Ambré as their go-to for the ideal Sidecar:

• 1.5 OZ FERRAND AMBRÉ
• 1 OZ FERRAND DRY CURAÇAO
• 0.75 OZ FRESH LEMON JUICE
• 1 TEASPOON SIMPLE SYRUP

GARNISH WITH AN ORANGE TWIST
Shake all the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Express the orange twist over the drink, then gently rub it around the rim of the glass and place it into the drink.

RD1 Spirits

In 1865, the Ashland Distillery was established, the first to obtain a federally registered distillery license, and was assigned RD#1.

MAY ONE ALWAYS PUSH YOU FURTHER
RD1 crafts impressive Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon to celebrate the firsts in our lives – those who were first to create, first to believe, first to remove barriers. Just like the gutsy mavericks who built Lexington’s first registered distillery in the late 1800s, RD1 was started in 2020 by modern-day entrepreneurs who have the spirit to dare, a gift all firsts possess.

OUR ENTIRE LINEUP won honors at the 2023 Ascot Awards

• DOUBLE PLATINUM for RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished With French Oak, which earned top marks from all judges
• PLATINUM for RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished With Brazilian Amburana Wood
• GOLD for RD1 Straight Bourbon Whiskey and RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Double Finished In Oak and Maple Barrels

 

RD1 Spirits Kentucky Straight Bourbon...$54.99 / 750ml
This traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon invites you in with delicious aromas of vanilla wafers and roasted almonds. When sipping, orange flavors are followed by honeyed caramel, herbal tea and peppery oak. A long, warm finish ends dry with a spicy hint of ginger and cinnamon.
RD1 Spirits Finished with French Oak...$64.99 / 750ml
A rich mouthfeel with caramel front and center on the palate supported by dark cherries and sweet oak. Finishes with dark chocolate and dries to oak with a touch of smoke.
RD1 Spirits Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood...$64.99 / 750ml
The best of baking spices – apple cinnamon, nutmeg and light brown sugar – come alive on the nose and are followed by pine, vanilla, peaches and apricots. Flavor galore with spice cake, and ginger snaps in a rich mouthfeel. Try a drop of water to open up hints of herbal black tea, dark berry jam and pineapple pepper. Finish is long and warm, and ends with allspice and sweet oak.
RD1 Spirits Double Finished in Oak Maple Barrels...$64.99 / 750ml
An undeniable burst of maple and butterscotch on the nose followed by lightly toasted caramel, roasted pecans and paprika. Its flavor boasts a delicate dance of maple goodness and black peppercorn spice. The finish is long, smooth and spicy with a light accent of toasted caramel at the end. Try this in an Old Fashioned but skip the simple syrup and just add more of this bourbon.

Certified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker
42% ABV
The core expression from Amatiteña plants a flag, early and proud. With powerful aromas that strike the nose long before the glass reaches your lips, every batch is a unique statement of time and terroir. Made from estate-grown agave exclusively using historic techniques—from wood-fired oven to stone tahona, from open-air fermenters to the fabrica’s original copper pot stills—Amatiteña makes no apologies for the stunning, even formidable profile of its blanco.

Delving even deeper into the roots of tequila’s early production, Amatiteña ‘Origen’ offers an example of their historical, estate-grown tequila at a notably higher (and more traditional) ABV, leaping up from a sturdy 42% to a racy 49%.

Amatitena Tequila Reposado...$77.99

Certified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker
42% ABV
Aged for just 2 months in ex-bourbon barrels, Amatiteña Reposado is an easy—even laid-back—crowd pleaser. Refreshing and uncomplicated, yet with enough grace and nuance to remain endlessly engaging, this reposado balances herbs and fruit and pastry with aplomb.

• Distilled in historical copper pot stills from the 19th century
• Rested 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine American oak barrels

Indulgent aromas of fresh glazed donuts, subtle tobacco leaf, candied dates, and petit dejeuner; a palate that is at once generous and elusive, with bold, confectionary flavors of vanilla, caramel, dried cherry, candied plum, sweet potato, black walnut, and subtle marzipan…but with a texture that remains delicate and ethereal
Certified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker
42% ABV

Aged for 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine casks of American oak, Amatiteña Añejo seems to gracefully straddle the line between terroir and barrel influence, between serious tequila and nightcap treat—all without a moment’s hesitation. Rich in profile yet lean enough that it never topples into decadence, this is an añejo that stirs memory.

2019 Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

What a stunning deal on a Tuscan!

2019 Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione...$52.99
A dense, rich red highlighted by black cherry, blackberry and blueberry flavors, with flashes of vanilla and toasty oak underscored by mineral and wild herbs. Shows fine balance and texture, with a tannic structure emerging on the earth-tinged finish, suggesting this will need another two to three years before hitting its stride. One for the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2043.

New Riff Balboa Bottled in Bond Kentucky Rye

Limited release - releasing some online right now while it lasts
New Riff Balboa Bottled in Bond Kentucky Rye...$53.99
In addition to our flagship New Riff Bourbon and Rye, our distilling team has stretched their creative muscles over the years, producing a number of what we call "specialty whiskeys". Balboa Rye is one of the first specialties we made. Our corn farmer Charles Fogg has been growing heirloom rye on his family's farm for many years. His chosen variety was Balboa rye, an heirloom grain which dates back to the 1940s as a rye variety popular in Indiana. He offered it to us and we distilled it into rye whiskey, probably the first time in decades that Balboa has been made into whiskey and quite surely the only example on the market today.

Now it has grown up in the barrel! Typical of heirloom rye, the Balboa grain is a little smaller than modern varieties, with a lower output per acre of planting -- but it's no less flavorful for that! Our Balboa Rye whiskey offers shimmering notes of spiced fruit unique from our flagship New Riff Rye.

The Eyrie Vineyards

2019 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir "The Eyrie," Dundee Hills...$87.99
The 2019 Pinot Noir The Eyrie, which includes fruit from 54-year-old vines, has alluring aromas of cranberries, blackberries, orange peel, mushroom powder and pipe tobacco with streaks of flint. The medium-bodied palate is soft and juicy yet loaded with detailed, concentrated fruit, and it finishes with a flourish of earthy, spicy accents.
Rated 98/100 The Wine Advocate

2018 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Sisters Vineyard, Dundee Hills... $49.99
Medium ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sisters has an extraordinary perfume of raspberry preserves, blood orange, exotic spices and dried flowers. The light-bodied palate is elegant and seamless, with concentrated, fragrant fruit and a long, layered finish.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate

2019 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Meunier, Dundee Hills...$47.99
The 2019 Pinot Meunier is expressive and detailed. It has a medium ruby color and aromas of wild red and black berries, orange peel, pipe tobacco, iodine and leather. The medium-bodied palate features restrained, mineral-driven fruit, chalky tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a long, spicy finish that calls you in for another sip.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate

2019 The Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay "The Eyrie," Dundee Hills....$87.99
The 2019 Chardonnay The Eyrie, matured in just 11.5% new oak, is expressive and singular, offering an alluring dynamic of ripe, spicy fruit and savory bass tones. A core of baked apple fruit is accented by scents of mushroom powder, flint, fallen leaves and cinnamon on the nose, shifting continually as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is incredibly concentrated yet boasts focused acidity that drives its generous flavors into a long, flinty finish.
Rated 98/100 The Wine Advocate

2021 The Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay Estate, Dundee Hills...$43.99
The 2021 Chardonnay Estate offers exotic aromas of ripe peaches, honey, pie crust, tangerine oil and musky floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and expansive with an impressively concentrated core of spicy fruit. Its broad, mouth-coating texture is balanced by fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish with flavor that goes on and on.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate

2019 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte - 3 liter

Super Rare Le Pergole Torte giant 3 Liter!

Comes in its own wooden box

Only 1 available!

2019 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte.....$899.99 / 3 liter
Holding back initially, this wine simply needs more time in bottle, and I have adjusted the drinking window accordingly. The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is a long-term proposition showing initial stirrings of tart cherry fruit, plum, licorice, tobacco and crushed stone. There is a pretty floral tone of violet or rosemary flower even now. Winemaking takes this special selection of 100% Sangiovese though cement and Allier and Slavonian oak. The balanced acidity stands out nicely. There are 29,000 bottles of the 2019 vintage, and I recommend you put yours in the cellar for five to 10 more years.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is all class and refinement. At the same time, the 2019 is quite reticent at this stage. In this tasting, the Pergole Torte comes across as more refined and aromatically expressive than the Montevertine, with lovely brightness driving the red berry fruit. Elegant and sophisticated, the 2019 is a wine to treasure for the next several decades. Time in the glass brings out the floral upper register and red Sangiovese fruit of Pergole Torte.
Rated 97/100 Vinous Media

2013 Paolo Scavino Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva

2013 Paolo Scavino Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva...$379.99 / 1.5 liter

Rare Magnum
The 2013 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva was released in January of 2019, and once again it looks to be a top prize. Licorice and flowers dominate the bouquet, and its beautiful red fruit is generous throughout. This wine has always been a beauty and consistently has had a high price tag to reflect that quality, going back to the first vintages of the 1990s. It has regularly sold for about $200 every year for the last decade. These vines are old, some of them very old (reaching the ripe age of 60 years old in 1990s, when many of them were replanted with carefully selected clones), producing an elegance and concentration that brings intensity and a high standard of aromas. This Barolo without a doubt shows its pedigree and a quality of noble perfumes that demonstrate characteristics of the greatest Nebbiolo vintages, all delivered with excellent concentration. The magic lingers on the palate, right up to the finish.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate
This is high-strung and linear, showing precision to its cherry, strawberry, graphite, tobacco and grassy aromas and flavors. Firms up, yet exhibits finesse and complexity on the lingering aftertaste. Still needs time in the bottle, or decant a few hours before enjoying.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
