Aberfeldy 21 Year
$124.79
In terms of age statements at least, the 21-year-old sits at the apex of the Aberfeldy family. It's no geriatric, to be sure, but a couple decades in oak has put this one firmly in beautiful, mature whisky territory. If we're being honest though, 40% seems a bit scrawny by today's standards. Despite that wee hangup, it's hard to argue that the flavour isn't spectacular. And if we're continuing with this whole honesty thing, the simple reality is that some whiskies are going to be a bit lighter (read: lower alcohol) but are still absolutely deserving of attention on the merits of intrinsic quality. This is just such a one.

Superflux Caesar Salad IPA 4pack
$22.99
Why would you name an IPA you made Caesar Salad? Why would you put a picture of Romaine lettuce on the label? Because you are Superflux Brewing, and you can get away with ANYTHING. Furthermore, this IPA contains Anchovy Hops. Canned at 6.5%. Croutons not included.
Anchovies. Romaine Lettuce. Now I am hungry.
Producer Description
"Caesar Salad is an IPA brewed with our friends at Fast Fashion in Seattle. It is dry hopped with Anchovy and Citra. Anchovy hops are a new variety grown at Segal Hop Ranch. Anchovy was originally sponsored by Matt from Fast Fashion and he has played a massive part in promoting and popularizing it. These hops are a little more restrained and delicate and we taste really pleasant notes of watermelon and Starburst. "
Mayu Pedro Ximenez
$19.99
This may be the only Pedro Ximenez grown in Chile, and it's unclear if it's the same PX as in Spain (responsible for the sweet style of Sherry). The vines are grown on decomposed granite, quartz-rich soils, and might be the highest vineyard in Chile. Unlike the Spanish versions, the wine is fermented fully dry, and the wines tend to keep good freshness and moderate alcohol. It offers appealing floral and fruit aromas, with flavours balanced by fresh acidity, minerality and a long finish. It would be great with shellfish, paella and other seafood.

Opening The Case: The Affairs of Pattisons' Whisky is written by Justine Hazlehurst. In this book, Justine delves into the people and at the centre of the infamous Pattison Whisky crash of the 1898.
310 Pages. Paperback.
Book Description
"When brothers Robert and Walter Pattison took control of their father’s business, their ambitious and audacious moves triggered the infamous “whisky crash” of 1898 — a disaster that not only marked the end of Scotch whisky’s golden era but also lit the fuse to one of the biggest scandals in its history.
Yet the Pattisons were more than just two brothers at the helm of a failed empire; they were a family — real people navigating the ebb and flow of life. By the end of the 1890s, however, the tide had well and truly turned against them.
Opening The Case: The Affairs of Pattisons’ Whisky is the culmination of four years of dedicated writing and extensive research, revealing new findings about the Pattisons during this tumultuous time in the history of Scotch whisky – some of which have never been published before."
