Rhone blends are great with Thanksgiving!
2020 Chateau de Lancyere Coste d’Aleyrac Pic Saint Loup....$19.99
Pic Saint-Loup AOP
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Carignan.
The best version of this cuvée I can recall tasting, the 2020 Pic Saint Loup Coste d'Aleyrac is a softer, lusher, more generous wine than past (or succeeding) vintages, loaded with blackberry and black cherry fruit. Full, rich, velvety and long, it's a terrific value. As usual, it's an unoaked blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Carignan.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Advocate

New Riff Single Malt Sour Mash

SOLD OUT


Very limited - we only received 6 bottles!
New Riff Single Malt Sour Mash 7 Year Old...$69.99

New Riff’s Sour Mash Single Malt Whiskey is a provocative new riff on the hallowed traditions of malted barley. Comprised of up to six different mashbills, and slowly matured in a multiplicity of cask types, this unprecedented whiskey welds Old World inspiration to Kentucky’s sour mash technique. Distilled in our column beer still and doubler, it weaves a wealth of malty flavors into oaken age: a bold new concept in the time-honored Kentucky whiskey regimen.

The six mashbills include:· 100% Maris Otter, a classic British ale malt
· 100% Golden Promise, a classic Scotch whisky malt
· Barleywine-style, after high gravity, heavy bodied barleywine ales
· Belgian quadrupel-style, in the fashion of rich, mellow Trappist ales
· 100% Scottish peated barley malt, heavily smoked and pungent
· 100% Chevallier Heirloom malted barley, an 1820s-vintage English variety

Perennial Common Ritual No1 Single Barrel Bourbon


Very limited!
Perennial Common Ritual No1 Single Barrel Bourbon...$79.99

This release is 7 years old + bottled at barrel proof
Bourbon, high rye. 60% sweet corn 35% rye 5% barley
Blender's Story:
This expression brings forth notes of desserts and spices we all associate with the colder months of holidays. The moment it hit my palate I was taken to my grandma's kitchen, the smells and the flavors and I could easily picture loved ones gathering around to get a taste of something great.

Chinaco 50th Anniversary Tequila Anejo

We scored 1 more bottle!
Chinaco 50th Anniversary Tequila Anejo...$469.99
Numbers 551 of only 600 made for the world
Special Limited Edition, with only 600 bottles produced for Mexico and U.S.A. Lot 89 is the last Tequila produced by our founder, Don Guillermo González Diaz Lombardo, in the mid-nineties. This magnificent Tequila was made with the best agaves from the family estate and later aged in his favorite barrels and stored in glass containers for more than 20 years for a special commemoration. This Limited Edition is a ‘blend’ of one-third of Lot 89 and two-thirds of the best Añejo that we have produced in the last two decades, with the same origins and processes that our founder established more than 50 years ago. Resulting in an Exceptional Añejo!

Isle of Harris Scottish Gin



Isle of Harris Scottish Gin....$45.99
A TRUE ISLAND SPIRIT
Our local distillers create this first gin offering from our island distillery in a small copper gin still ("The Dotach") which sits alongside her larger whisky-making sisters in the distillery's bright Spirit Hall.  Our key local ingredient is Sugar Kelp seaweed, gathered sustainably by hand from local sea-lochs, as our key botanical to express our island's unique maritime nature.  Sugar Kelp works in harmony with seven other careful chosen botanicals: Juniper, coriander seeds, cubebs, cassia bark, angelica root, bitter orange peel, and liquorice root.

We bottle Isle of Harris Gin by hand here at the distillery too, before applying the labels and closing each one with a natural cork and wood stopper.

Finally, we apply a paper seal bearing our distillery's geographical coordinates to every single bottle by hand, your guarantee of a truly Outer Hebridean gin, made in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else.
