Beautiful, refreshing and unusual! Born in the Bordeaux region of France and in production since 1872, Lillet is made from 85% wine and 15% fruit liqueurs.

The Kraken Black Spiced Rum

Totally cool spiced rum — and totally cool packaging! Launched in the UK in 2010, it quickly became a cult favourite for its incredible rich, spiced aromas and flavours. And what's a Kraken? A mythical sea monster from Norway.

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
$5.93
Nothing refreshes more than this naturally cloudy weissbeer with its wonderfully rich yeasty taste. Goes well with light meals, which are not too strongly flavoured, veal sausage in particular. Founded nearly 1000 years ago as a Benedictine monastery brewery, then becoming the Royal Bavarian State Brewery. The world's oldest existing brewery, it is located in Freising. A unique combination of tradition, custom, and modern science, gives the brewery its incomparable identity and permits it to brew beers of the highest quality. Class, not mass, a description of their corporate philosophy.
Aperol
$29.69
Aperol is an immensely popular Italian aperitif produced in Padua. Its ingredients are, among others, bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona. Although it looks, tastes, and smells much like Campari, it has a higher sugar content and is lower in alcohol. Serve 2 parts Aperol to 3 parts Prosecco. A splash of soda and a sliver of lemon. Bellissimo!

$5.84
Brewed by the Belgian Family Brewery in Brouwerij Huyghe which is just outside Ghent, Belgium. The brewery is over 350 years old. Delirium Nocturnum is an 8.5% ABV, dark Belgian Strong Ale. It is a triple-fermented dark ale using 3 different yeast strains and 5 different malts.

Spicy cola and nutty malt. Long toast big bitterness and warming booze.
Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve
$67.49
"One of the finest Canadian whiskies I have ever tasted. Creamy and seamless from beginning to end. Gently sweet, with orange creamsicle, marzipan, sultana, praline, maple syrup, and a hint of coconut macaroon. Forty Creek whiskies have always been very good, but none have ever had the right stuff to reach classic status. Until now, that is. An outstanding, very distinctive whisky!" 95pts John Hansel Malt Advocate
Sea Cider Rumrunner
$24.74
Rumrunner Cider pours a rich gold with a slight amber hue and nice carbonation. The aroma is intense, warm, dark and very cidery. Sea Cider's Rumrunner has the same intensity in flavor as it does in its aromas, yet it is balanced. Nice acidic edge with accompanying flavors of raisin, rum, leather, toffee and even hints of clove on the finish. The aroma is of sweet apples and a bit of that whiskey in there as well, which resulted in a caramel or toffee note. Very tannic in its mouthfeel.
Maker`s Mark 46
$46.89
Maker's Mark is a mellow bourbon, made with wheat in place of rye with a mash bill of 60% Corn, 26% Red Winter Wheat, and 14% Malted Barley. To create the Maker's 46, the Bourbon has been finished in the same barrels as the regular but with new French oak staves inserted to add additional flavours of caramel, spice and vanilla. Firm, complex dry spices, herb, and some polished leather "grip", which dovetails well with Maker's trademark layered sweetness, Dried fruit and somewhat aggressive, but never excessive oak.
