Tromba Reposado Tequila KWM Cask
$94.99
Look what has finally landed!
Late last year, we were fortunate enough to be romanced with the prospect of KWM's first exclusive single barrel of Tequila. It came about rather quickly and unexpectedly, during a meeting with the great people from Tromba (named for the rainstorms that bring life to Los Altos). The conversation went a little something like this: "Why don't we send a couple of you down to Guadalajara to pick a barrel?" ... "Oh, yeah, for sure. Hahaha." ... "How soon can you be ready?" ... "Ummm...wait, what?" A couple weeks later, Curt and Harmony were on a plane to Mexico.
While the two of them may have had very yin and yang experiences while in Jalisco (come ask us about it sometime!), they were 100% on the same page when it came to selecting a cask for the shop. After tasting through a great range of Tequila drawn from barrels resting in the Tromba warehouses, one particular cask stood taller than the others: Cask RO-161. This was tasted in cask at eight and a half months of age, but slept a wee bit longer in wood before bottling. It's still a Reposado but was tiptoeing towards being an Anejo. That extra time in wood only made this one better.
Our first Tequila, but definitely not our last.
Bottled overproof for us at 48% abv.
Chateau Montifaud 1992 KWM Cognac
$194.99

Some of you may remember our 25th Anniversary 1992 vintage Chateau Montifaud Cognac, the 30th Anniversary bottling if 5 years older, and only $5 more expensive...

Cadenhead Old Raj Gin 55%
$59.99
Could this be the most amazing gin to hit the Canadian market? We think so! Wine Enthusiast magazine gave it 96 points. It's also exclusive to Kensington Wine Market! Like other premium gins from the UK, Cadenhead is made from a mixture of gin essence (juniper, coriander and angelica) and Scottish grain spirit. What sets it apart from others is twofold: first, saffron, a very rare and costly spice is added to give the gin a spicy flavour; second, the gin is bottled at 55% rather than being watered down to 40%. Old Raj is a premium gin, tailored to the finest tastes!
