Auchentoshan Bartender`s Malt
$67.99
One of the most interesting Auchentoshans we've seen yet. The Bartender's Malt was the construct of a dozen of the world's best bartenders. Their goal? Build a malt whisky big enough to stand up to the demands of cocktails that require Scotch whisky as one of their ingredients. Whether or not you believe it borders on blasphemy to bury a fine single malt whisky in juices and syrups and fruit is a debate for another day, but it should be made clear what these 12 innovators were up against. Auchentoshan is a Lowland malt, triple distilled, with a reputation for being something of a lightweight. By nature, something like that is bound to get out-muscled in a mixed drink, right? Well...not necessarily. They've upped the abv, included some spicier, more lively casks (of all sorts!), and vatted whiskies from the last five decades in order to create something that was punchy enough to cut through. And you know what? They've succeeded.

Peter Wetzer Kekfrankos
$39.99
"I grew up in a winemaker family and while working in the wine industry I also studied intensively the world of wine. It made me realize the big difference between the wines close to nature and the ones which are influenced by the industry. I want to make special wines which have personality and identity, delicate wines with character influenced by their origin and heritage with traditional grape varieties which translate the sense of place," says Peter Wetzer. As for the wine? The grapes are Kekfrankos, sometimes called Blaufrankisch in other parts of the world, including Canada. This red wine is organic, biodynamic, and will likely appeal to fans of Pinot Noir. It is unfined and unfiltered, and contains no added sulphur. A fascinating red that changes constantly in the glass."
Cos Pithos
$61.99
A fascinating red wine from Sicily, from one of the leaders in the natural wine movement. Here's what Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has to say about it: "This wine is famously aged in clay amphora that are buried underground to keep temperature and moisture levels intact. COS was one of the first estates in Sicily to use amphora for aging and refining its wines. It started a trend that has gained much popularity today." Pair with beef or venison.
