Emile Pernot Absinthe Bourgeois
$72.99
Founded in 1890 by Joseph and Fortunat Bourgeois, the distillery had just 2 stills and was very close to the Cousin Florentin distillery (now Guy). If it weren't for the extremely popular advertising poster that attracts the public, Bourgeois would have long been forgotten.
But this motif, on which a cat supposedly drinks absinthe from a glass, has stood the test of time. Incidentally, there was no absinthe in the glass, but milk, as evidenced by a few photographs from the time.
The absinthe from the Pontarlier region, naturally colored green with herbs, lives up to its historical name and fulfills it all the requirements that a discerning connoisseur has of a tasty absinthe. Wormwood and anise are flanked by aromatic herbs, the dense, beautiful cloudiness sets in early, as expected, because Absinthe Bourgerois comes with "only" 55% Abv therefore and is therefore set relatively low for a green absi

Tomintoul Cognac Cask Finish
$87.99
Cognac Cask Finish. Might be intriguing! Shame about the 40%, though. These accountant-strength bottlings that Tomintoul and owners Angus Dundee seem to be enamoured with could use a slight shift upwards. No need to make "The Gentle Dram" too gentle.
Producer Description
"Our Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, created this small batch bottling by specially selecting Tomintoul aged in exceptional ex-bourbon American oak barrels, which are then married & finished in hand selected Cognac casks from France.
The process of ‘finishing’ creates a beautifully rich, complex & full flavoured single malt scotch whisky."

Glaetzer Amon Ra Shiraz 2022
$89.99
Amon-Ra Shiraz is an iconic wine that epitomises Ben Glaetzer’s passion to create wines that are full flavoured, multi layered and intense but still elegant, stylish and finely balanced. The nose has essence of black cherry, dark plums and spice. On the palate look for mouth coating richness with restraint and admirable poise. Multi layered flavours of dark chocolate and dried spice with bright fruits and great palate length. This is a wine that will develop beautifully with long term cellaring over decades.
In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple.
The eye on front of the label is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat ("whole one") - a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought.
Ben created Amon-Ra Shiraz to appeal to all these six senses.
