Notes from the importer:
"Aged three years in new French Oak barrels. Bright amber with an orange hue, with strong body and slow forming legs. Initial aromas of butter and ripe fruits and notes of chocolate and toasted almond and intense hazelnut, with notes of crust of rye bread and red flowers. On the palate, natural sweetness and savoury notes, light acidity."

Producer Description
“The second release in our Ian Hunter Story pays tribute to the Icon that Ian Hunter built more than 100 years ago and honours his understanding that no one thing is more important to the creation of Laphroaig than the place it comes from – Islay and the ‘hollow by the bay’ where Laphroaig® first came into being.
Aged for 30 years in Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry oaks, this non-chill filtered whisky is underscored with Laphroaig’s signature characteristic peatiness, making this second book a unique peated single malt whisky journey through history."
Blindman Perepllut Barley Wine
$19.99
Barley, oats and rye make up the malt bill of this beast. Grain complexities are overtaken only by the complex sugary sweetness you'd expect from a barley wine. A slight boozy heat reminds you of the abv and forces you to sip a little slower, and savour it longer.

JJ Prum Wehl. Sonn. Spatlese
$98.99
Joh. Jos. Prüm needs no introduction to Riesling lovers, having already become a Mosel icon during the nearly five decades during which its namesake’s son Sebastien was in charge. Katharina Prüm has been active alongside her father, Manfred, since early in the new millennium, and the two of them perpetuate a house style that has itself become a Mosel archetype: wines of delicacy and restrained sweetness, but with legendary longevity. The Prüms personally don’t care to drink their own wines – even the Kabinetts – with less than a dozen, and usually many more, years in bottle. The wine comes over as initially subtle on the palate but develops more structure and cut as some zesty elements of grapefruit, fresh pineapple, and minty herbs come through in the slightly ample finish. This overall powerhouse expression of fruity-styled Riesling also offers incredible complexity and subtlety.
Redbreast Irish Whiskey Lustau Edition
$126.99
Bottled at 46%, the Redbreast Lustau edition is a single pot still Irish Whiskey matured in Oloroso sherry casks from the Lustau Bodega.
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
"A unique collaboration between the Bodegas Lustau and the Midleton Distillery, Redbreast Lustau Edition is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills. Having spent its final maturation journey in casks seasoned with the finest Oloroso Sherry in the Bodegas Lustau, the result is the ultimate sherried style of Redbreast."
