The hot new tequila in our store!
Calle 23 Tequila Blanco....$49.99
A pure and unfiltered expression of highland agave, Calle 23 Blanco is the essence of tequila in its most honest form. Crystalline and clean, this blanco delivers vibrant aromas of cooked agave laced with citrus and subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate, it's soft yet character-driven, revealing layers of fresh fruit—think crisp Granny Smith apples and juicy pears—finishing with a long, elegant aftertaste. This is the go-to choice for purists and cocktail crafters alike.

Formerly a very limited release that were able to score a decent amount!
Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Madeira Cask...$179.99
Limited Edition No. 20
90.4 proof
Introducing the 20th Woodford Reserve's Master's Collection release - Madeira Cask Finish. This release features Woodford Reserve Whiskey that was finished in Madeira casks and blended with wheat whiskey, creating uniquely fruit-forward whiskies.

Still very tough to get and sought after
Wray & Nephew Overproof White Rum...$23.99
126 Proof
A full strength, full flavoured white rum that is best enjoyed blended in colourful cocktails at celebrations big or small. Made to mix and elevate fruit flavours. Whatever your occasion, Wray is the way.
Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum is highly sought after and it is a cultural icon in Jamaica, where it's widely used in everything from cocktails to culinary dishes, religious ceremonies, and home remedies. For many Jamaicans and Caribbean diaspora, it carries deep emotional and traditional value. First distilled in 1825, Wray and Nephew has over a century of legacy and has become a symbol of Jamaican rum heritage. Outside of Jamaica and Caribbean markets it has a bit of a cult status, it’s sometimes hard to find or marked up.

A new take on Pechuga!
Xicaru Mezcal Pechuga Mole...$52.99
Inspiration: We celebrate the anniversary of Xicaru by combining two traditions: pechuga, a mezcal traditionally reserved for special occasions, and mole negro, the iconic Oaxacan sauce. We are proud of the exciting result: Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal.Production: Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal is made by hand. The maguey is cooked in an underground stone oven, tahona-mashed, fermented in open-air pine vats, and distilled over a wood fire. Our mole negro is made from scratch over two days at our palenque, using molcajete-ground chilis, Oaxacan chocolate and other fresh ingredients. It is added to the still along with dressed chickens for the final distillation.Tasting Notes: Introducing chicken and savory-sweet mole negro to the vegetal and smoky characteristics of traditional mezcal results in a remarkably multifaceted flavor and a rich mouthfeel. The finish is delightful, long and lasting.The Jaguar Captures The Chicken!
We pay homage to ancient Zapotec culture with our use of the jaguar, a powerful symbol of agility and strength. The jaguar captures not only the chicken, but also the rich history and traditions found in Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal.
