Friday night's alright for tasting so come on by…

Balcones Texas Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled-in-Bond….$45.99 / 750ml
When our Rye hit four years old, we were pleasantly surprised by the density and clarity this benchmark revealed, with darker chocolates, more acidic dried fruits, and a refreshing solvency. We have become so familiar with the dance we have learned to step in our intense Texas climate, that new plateaus of elegance and balance in our spirits are much appreciated and hard won.Our 100% Rye Mashbill began with 91% Raw Elbon Rye from Northwest Texas accompanied by cara, chocolate and roasted rye. All milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and matured onsite in Waco, Texas.

Compass Box Crimson Casks...$62.99 / 750ml
The pinnacle of our collection, Crimson Casks delivers on the rich promise of sherry and red wine casks with intense chocolate, plum jam and redcurrant character.
Powerful, rich whiskies matured in American Oak sherry butts, precisely seasoned for a very particular wood interaction that creates a spiciness and generous intensity from the oloroso influence.Chocolate fudge cake undercut with clove and cardamom, with hints of plum jam and redcurrant jelly, then rich cherry, toffee and oak, finished with raisin, honey and brown sugar.
46% ABV, NATURAL COLOUR, NOT CHILL-FILTERED

Compass Box Nectarosity...$54.99 / 750ml
Part artistry, part alchemy, Nectarosity generously brings you honeyed fruit and toasted oak notes, straight from our Blending Room.Special American oak barrels are deployed twice. First to impart sweet spice to grain spirit, which finishes maturing in other casks. Once 'prepared', the barrels age malt whisky. We expertly blend these two characterful whiskies with selected others to dial up the fruit and toffee notes.
46% ABV, NATURAL COLOUR, NOT CHILL-FILTERED

Glen Scotia Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Victoriana...$89.99
Each cask is chosen for its rare character and exceptional maturity. Finished in deep charred oak, the result is an exceptionally smooth single malt whisky whose aroma and flavour work in harmony. Bottled in the traditional way straight from the cask and without filtration, its subtle wood and vanilla flavour is enhanced by a full bodied spicy fruit aroma and mildly smokey aftertaste.
NOSE: Dark again. An elegant nose with hints of oak driving the bouquet. Interesting creme brulee notes leading to generous caramelised fruits and finally polished oak.
PALATE: Sweet and concentrated start with some jammy blackcurrant fruitiness. A big mid palate. Typical tightening towards the back palate. Becomes more austere with water.
FINISH: Clean and initially sweet.The green bean, with cocoa characteristic.
