Sipsmith Gin 375ml
$30.99
For years we tried to get this gin in the market to no avail, and then one day it just showed up. Seems a big multinational bought it, so the good news is it's here, and at a more reasonable price than originally suspected.
From the Producer
Sipsmith: the first copper pot distillery in London for nearly two hundred years! Sipsmith London Dry Gin was born out of a desire to see gin production return to the city where it earned its name. With a nod to traditional hand crafted production, their gin combines traditional copper pot distillation with a recipe that wouldn't look unfamiliar to an eighteenth century Master Distiller. London Dry Gin is the quintessential expression of a classic London Dry Gin. Bold, complex and aromatic - smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T.
Copper Stilled in Small Batches: Every drop of alcohol that goes into a bottle of Sipsmith has been distilled in copper. Copper draws out the impurities and cleanses the spirit. It’s what makes Sipsmith spirits so incredibly smooth.
One Shot Method: One of the only gins in the world to use the “One-Shot Method”, meaning we use exactly the right amount of botanicals in our distillation so that we only need to add water to bring it down to bottling strength. 99% of gins are made using a concentrate which is diluted with neutral grain spirit and water. This neutral alcohol has had no contact with copper nor the botanicals so it produces a harsher, less balanced gin.
Hand Cut: We only ever retain a tight heart cut (the highest quality) of the liquid which is cut by hand. Much like a fine single malt, it’s what delivers our uncompromising quality of spirit.
Old Forester 1920 Bourbon 57.5%
$93.99
This Bourbon was featured on Day 12 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can check out Evan's blog post on the Old Forester 1920 here.
Part of Old Forester Distillery's Whisky Row Series, the 1920 Prohibition Style is meant to hearken back to the bad old days of American Prohibition. Bottled at 115 proof or 57.5% ABV - this might just cure what ails ya!
From The Producer
"The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.
During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago."

Daftmill 2011 Summer Batch Release
$184.99
This whisky was featured on Day 17 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
We have a new release from Scotland's smallest distillery... I can't back up that statement about them being Scotland's smallest distillery, but it was on their website. Given there is only one man making the whisky, and he only distills when he's not farming... it is probably true. What is undeniable is that the whiskies are lovely, legitimately rare, and in my opinion, it might be one of the best batches we've seen on this side of the Atlantic!

Producer Description
"The barley variety Publican was grown in the 43ac field and harvested by John and Sandy on the 28th & 29th August 2009. It was then dried and stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the summer of 2010. The twenty-seven first-fill barrels, which had previously been used to mature bourbon from Clermont Springs distillery in Kentucky, were matured on the upper level of our dunnage warehouse. They were filled in June, July and August 2011 and bottled in September 2023."
Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc
$30.99
The wine is pale lemon in colour, with vibrant tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit and lychees. Layered beneath there are hints of gooseberry, citrus and dried herbs. The palate is generous, yet remains fresh and lively, with a satisfying crisp finish. Favourable vintage conditions have added richness and texture to the wine, while still retaining its classic zesty freshness.
PYCM Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc
$109.99
Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed. – “It could go in the Bourgogne but I prefer to make two cuvées.”
Pretty, floral, instantly attractive. More drive and freshness. A hint of barrel but here is really an impressive width of finishing flavour, saline edged – this is excellent.’
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
Pierre-Yves Colin was born into the wine industry. His father, Marc Colin, who is a famed Burgundy producer himself, started Pierre’s winemaker career in 1994, when he asked him to work at the family’s domain. In 2005, he switched things up by creating his own wines from inherited vineyards. Since then, he has rapidly become of the top Burgundy producers using larger demi-muid barrels and eschewing the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. His wines get better and better with each vintage and so it's easy to say that he is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
