Toasted Coconut Rum

Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum pairs our classic white rum with the deep, rich flavor of house-toasted flaked coconut, cane sugar, and natural sea salt for a balanced and versatile spirit that is delightful to drink on its own, or as the featured spirit in an island-inspired cocktail.

This Hard Truth is best served: in a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade; with a citrus hard seltzer; or with pineapple and orange juice in a Hard Truth Bahama Mama.

This Hard Truth is best served: over ice; in a shot with Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka

Yellow Rose Distilling Outlaw Bourbon

 

Yellow Rose Distilling Outlaw Bourbon The Lou Single Barrel...$99.99 / 750ml

The Lou Single Barrel
#7005
116.5 proof

True to its name, this one breaks all the traditional bourbon laws. Made from 100% Texas yellow corn and aged in small American oak barrels right here in Houston. The 15-20 degree temperature swings in this part of Texas give our bourbon unique characteristics that can only be achieved here. In fact, our angel share is 15% per year, making our whiskey extremely rare and valuable to us.
Outlaw Bourbon is full-flavored with warm caramel and vanilla overtones. Our traditional pot still helps us produce a true small-batch whiskey. One sip and we think you’ll agree you’ve never had anything like it.

Great press for 2021 Cloudline Pinot Noir! A consistent best buy!

 

2021 Cloudline Pinot Noir...$18.99 / 750ml

Part of the Domaine Drouhin Oregon portfolio, the 2021 Pinot Noir from Cloudline is very easy to drink! Medium ruby-purple in the glass, it's scented of cranberries, blackberries and blueberries with touches of tar, mushroom and lavender. Light-bodied, soft and juicy, it offers generous, perfumed fruit and a long, floral finish. It's exported around the world and should be fairly easy to find.

Deschutes Tropical Fresh IPA

 

Deschutes Tropical Fresh IPA...$9.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
Sit back and relax as you let the waves of pineapple, citrus and mango wash over you. Close your eyes and you can hear the breeze rustling through the palm trees. An antidote to a hazy glow, we sought a bright and beautiful color as canvas to flaunt big tropical hops.

Hartford Court Seascape Chardonnay

2018 Hartford Court Seascape Chardonnay...$71.99
It needs a little coaxing to reveal restrained notes of lemon meringue pie, lime leaves, struck flint and wet pebbles with touches of coriander seed, orange blossoms and yuzu zest. Medium-bodied, the palate is very crisp, intense and pure with loads of citrus and stone-inspired flavors, finishing very long and zesty. This tight-knit beauty is going to be incredible in another year or two and will drink well for at least 10+ years. only 270 cases were made.

Main and Mill Paddy Stash Irish Stout

Main and Mill Paddy Stash Irish Stout...$10.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
Irish Stout • 5.5%
May the beer rise up to meet your lips this St. Patrick’s Day. Straight from the Paddy Stash, a blend of dark malts and oats bring out notes of coffee and chocolate, with a balanced roast character and a dry finish characteristic of the Irish Stout style.

2021 Mac and Billy "M" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Back in stock - this one sold fast!

WOW - 95 points from The Wine Advocate and under $30
2021 Mac and Billy "M" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon...$26.99
I​ love this easy-to-drink 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from McPrice Myers that well overdelivers for its price. Deep ruby-purple, it has alluring aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, dried herbs, leather and lavender, plus classy touches of oak spice. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and powerful without going over the top. It has abundant, grainy tannins, flinty streaks and plenty of refreshing acidity to carry the long finish. It's not your average chocolate bomb California Cabernet, despite its modest price tag.

Fonseca Vintage Port 2016 scores big -

2016 Fonseca Vintage Port...$106.99 / 750ml
The 2016 Vintage Port is a field blend sourced from the typical three quintas (Panascal in the Tavora Valley and Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta de St Antonio in the Pinhão Valley). When last seen, this was in fine form. It was aged for 20 months in wood and comes in with 99 grams of residual sugar. Right now, surprisingly, this seems more tightly wound than the Taylor's, which usually seems to me the burlier as between the two. It has beautiful fruit as well, if not quite the wave of big fruit that Taylor's shows off. In 2017, I would say Taylor's wins. In this vintage, it may be Fonseca. However, there are great performances all around.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate
Lots of ripe fruit here with raisins and wet earth that turn to violets and hot stones. Full-bodied, tannic and powerful with fantastic grip and intensity. Grabs you. Impressive. Drink in 2025.
Rated 98/100 James Suckling
This bottling brings together a fine structure with great fruit to give a luscious wine that is also destined for long-term aging. With its ripe berry flavors sustained by some acidity, this is already balanced. Drink from 2028
Rated 97/100 Wine Enthusiast
The 2016 Fonseca Vintage Port began to be picked on 21 September at their Panascal vineyard, their Quinta do Cruzeira vineyard not picked until 6 October. It is deep, almost inky in colour. The bouquet is very intense with luscious black fruit laced with embers, clove and hints of bay leaf. There is wonderful purity here and a broodiness that suggests you'd better be patient. The palate is sweet and lively on the entry with some gorgeous ginger and curry leaf notes littered over the compact black fruit. There is wonderful density to this Fonseca. It is like a coiled spring with so much energy towards the finish that you just know this will be a long-term prospect. Superb. Production is 4,900 cases.
Rated 96/100 Neal Martin, Vinous Media

2017 Fonseca Vintage Port....$57.99 / 375ml
The 2017 Vintage Port, not quite bottled when originally seen, has now been in bottle for a couple of years. It is a field blend (with typical grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca) aged for approximately 20 months in used French oak. It comes in with 98 grams of residual sugar. This is a great Fonseca, distinctive, with a touch of eucalyptus and plums, but also loaded with delicious fruit. Like its Taylor's siblings, there is also a fine backbone. I'd say it is a step behind the Taylor's duo this year, but not by much. It will age well, to say the least.

Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is a blend of a 15 year Kentucky Bourbon, and two high-rye bourbons aged 2 to 5 years. Wildflower honey and warm cornbread on the nose gives way to honeycomb upfront on the palate that transitions to gentle cinnamon and toasted almonds. The 15-year Bourbon provides for a lasting rich vanilla, pipe tobacco and black currant on the finish.

Missouri Whiskey aged in Beer Barrels!

Pinckney Bend Stout Cask Whiskey....$31.99 / 375ml
Limited Edition
100 Proof
In 2013, we traded used 1-year-old, 15 gallon barrels with 2nd Shift Brewery. They made a delicious stout beer and gave us the barrel back. We put our one-year-old whiskey back into that barrel. A tradition was born. We knew we wanted to collaborate with our numerous brewer friends. While the brewery and stout may change from each release, the end result is always the same: a rich, full-bodied stouted whiskey.
