2023 End of the Year Whiskey raffle

First and second day emails have been sent




2023 End of the Year Whiskey raffle....
We HAVE a date now.
Purchases count until December 15th at 7pm
First day raffles go out Saturday December 16th.

Remember this raffle is based on the previous 12 months purchases (our regular monthly raffles are 6 months).  Each $600 you have spent (average of $50 per month) this past year will count as a raffle ticket. It will be a weighted raffle. The weighted raffle is based on previous 12 months purchases to reward regular shoppers.  

Sorry, we cannot tell you how much you spent in the past 12 months. Too time consuming of a process if we allow everyone to ask.

You must be a member of our WRC/BRC-Whiskey Reward Club to qualify-- sign up at the register at one of our locations (probably, too late for this year to get into the big raffle, but get ready for next year and the monthly raffles).

Our TWCP Single Barrels count for double WRC points all last year  
Our TWCP Single Barrel El Mayor and our Schoonover 14 year counts at triple WRC points all last year.  And there were a few other triple pointers during the year


We are populating the list --
We do not want to give false hopes. Our Pappy Van Winkle and all whiskey allocation keeps shrinking and your odds are miniscule. It is getting very frustrating for us (and for you, we know). The amount we get now is incredibly small. Most of the Van Winkle Bourbons we got 1 bottle only.


We did not get allocated any 23 Year Old Pappy or Eagle Rare 17yr this year again -- very annoying!
Many of these we only have a single bottle.  All very limited, but a great list

Red Line / TWCP Single Barrel Toasted Bourbon

December 15th
Tonight from 4-6pm at Forsyth!

Red Line Whiskey Tasting

We will be tasting our single barrel and a number of other great whiskey from them.
Keith Elder will be on hand to run you through the whiskey


Red Line / TWCP Single Barrel Toasted Bourbon...$79.99
  • Proof 119
  • Barrel #196
  • Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Toasted New Barrels
  • Age: 6+ years
  • Single Barrel, Limited Quantity
  • State of Distillation: Indiana
  • Mash Bill: 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Barley Malt

This product is made by taking our Red Line Cask Strength Straight Bourbon and then aging it for an additional period in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18 month air dried wood and then toasted not charred as your normal bourbon barrel would be. This process allows for the sugars in the wood to be drawn to the interior surface where the bourbon will be making contact, adding amazing flavors to the bourbon. The truly unique and delicious taste this toasted finishing process offers represents a remarkable achievement given that it is Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except the transfer into the toasted barrel.

The Wine Enthusiast #1 Top Best Buy 2023!!

2021 J. Lohr Paso Robles Syrah...$14.99

This is a very satisfying Syrah for a rather stunning price. Lush and generous aromas of baked berry, hot spice cake and a touch of crushed rock show on the nose. The palate is brooding in cassis, boysenberry pudding and baking spice flavors, framed by impressively deep tannins. Best Buy

Compass Box Art and Decadence Scotch

In stock now


Compass Box Art and Decadence Scotch....$159.99
A Rich and Potent Whisky, Designed for Dessert and Decadent Behaviour
The Aesthetic Movement, begun in the latter half of the 19th century, witnessed a change in the subject matter and influences of western art. It gave rise to the Decadent Movement, where ornamentation and the superfluous flourish were prized; iconography and patterns from other cultures were layered in complex compositions, and a new sensuality began to emerge.

This is the era of Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley – abundance, delight and pleasure were art’s watchwords. The dandy was reborn, the peacock became a cultural symbol, and gold was everywhere. Beauty, excess and ornamentation have been our focuses with the extraordinary label and outer packaging for Art & Decadence. A whisky of such decadent flavours merits a decadent design.


Bottled at 49%
Light 10 micron filter, not chill-filtered.
Natural Colour
Lead Whiskymaker: James Saxon
Art & Decadence is built on malt whisky from the Balmenach Distillery, finished separately for almost a year in not one but three different ex-wine casks. Madeira, Sauternes and Marsala are all at home with dessert, and they bring succulence, preserved fruit notes and honeyed character to the underlying meaty sweetness of Balmenach.
To this, we have layered in malt whisky from the Linkwood Distillery, aged in Palo Cortado sherry-seasoned butts, and malt whisky from the Glen Moray Distillery, finished in Oloroso sherry-seasoned butts. Grain whisky from the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery adds silk and gloss.

“Dair Ghaelach” means quite simply, Irish Oak.

The oak influences this special whiskey with the unique flavour of the heart of Ireland.
Its unique provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character.
This is a whiskey like no other.

Off Color Brewing Beer for the Top Shelf

 
Off Color Beer for the Top Shelf...$10.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
TASTING NOTES
Grandma's peanut butter best make room on the top shelf for this classic Vienna style lager dosed with a hefty amount of late harvest maple syrup sourced from southwest Michigan. The maple syrup sugar ferments out almost completely and leaves the lager surprisingly dry with a mild woody note and slight mineral character derived from the maple trees. Melanoidins similar to light brown sugar remain to compliment the sweet nutty flavor of the Vienna malt. 5.5% ABV
SECRET INGREDIENT
The late harvest maple syrup is sourced from Maple Row Sugar House in Jones, MI. Formerly known as grade C, but now known as "Grade A: Very Dark and Strong" (who wants grade C anything but some high schoolers?), the maple flavor is robust enough to leave signature maple flavors even when the sugar is fermented out after being added to the beer in a secondary fermentation
INGREDIENTS
Vienna malt, flaked barley, Sterling and First Gold hops, Grade A: Very Dark and Strong pure maple syrup
