Writers Tears Single Pot Irish Whiskey
$113.99
Harmony and Evan tasted this and had to bring it in. This is a solid Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey! Bottled at 46%.
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.
Producer Description
"Originally matured in bourbon barrels, the triple-distilled, single pot still whiskey, was then further matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain and Florio Marsala Hogsheads from Sicily, before being cut at a juicy 46% ABV."
Pittis Rose
$27.99
One of the stars of Austria's winemaking scene, Gerhard Pittnauer makes modern, powerful reds that showcase the quality of Austria’s indigenous grape varieties. He's located in Burgenland, famous for the amount of sun it gets every year, and all of vines are farmed biodynamically. All wild ferments, unfined and unfiltered — one of the most interesting rosés you'll ever try (and one for the serious wine geeks in the crowd.) Serve chilled and enjoy, but don't waste time as it won't last long.
Laphroaig 27 Year
$1,519.99
A curious bottling of mature Laphroaig, bottled at a very low cask strength of 41.7%. This low strength is more easily understood when you consider the whisky was matured in both Ex-Bourbon Barrels and more crucially Quarter Casks, 125L barrels. These Quarter Casks increase the surface area exposure to the spirit, leading to a more rapid maturation and a much higher angel's share. 90pts Angus @ Whisky Fun
Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port
$89.99
93 to 95 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2015 vintage! The review: "The 2015 Guimaraens Vintage Port is a field blend coming in at 101 grams per liter of residual sugar. This was a tank sample when seen, out of barrel, the final blend and awaiting bottling in a couple of weeks. It should be released by the time this article appears. This is the blend Fonseca releases when there is no "classic" vintage declaration. It is usually intended to be approachable a bit earlier, much like a second wine. It seems pretty impressive this year, though. Round, big and lush, it might well be the best of the 2015s from the Fladgate Partnership, especially on the hedonism scale. It also seems to be the most concentrated of the Fladgate Partnership's wines this issue, full bodied and mouth coating. With air, this shows plenty of tannins underneath, too, but the mid-palate depth balances everything perfectly. Underneath that first rush of everything is intensely flavorful and fresh 2015 fruit."
