H by Hine VSOP
$79.99
Producer Description
"Hine's cognac complexity arises from respecting the raw material. Double distillation with fine
lees enhances aroma. Careful oak cask selection highlights fruity notes over woody ones.
Adventurous, Lively, Elegant
This cognac was created 20 years ago by Éric Forget, my predecessor, in collaboration with American and British bartenders. Its finesse,
delicacy, and floral notes make it a light and perfectly structured VSOP, conceived from the very beginning as the ideal foundation for
exceptional cocktails and long drinks."

Tears of Llorona Extra Anejo 1Litre
$484.99
One of the rarest and hardest to find tequilas in the world, The Tears of Llorona is an Extra Anejo, aged 5 years before bottling. Unusually, the tequila has been matured in ex-Scotch, Sherry and Brandy barrels. Bottled as 43% in a 1L bottle. Only 3 bottles at KWM!
From the Producer: "Tears of Llorona is an extra extra añejo tequila. It begins as 100% blue agaves from high volcanic slopes in Jalisco, where growth is slow. Master Tequilero Germán Gonzalez hand selects the agaves and has them harvested late, increasing their starch and sugars. The piñas are roasted slowly in the traditional way. His yeast is proprietary and fermentation is slow. Distillation is by copper pot still and barreling is at very high specific gravity. Tears is aged in three different barrels -- oak that has previously held scotch, sherry, and brandy -- and brought together in very small batches to create a complex fusion that is more like a cognac than a tequila. Germán then bottles at 43% specific gravity to balance the flavors. This results in a very high rate of osmotic loss - the “angel's tears” that are one reason for the name, Tears of Llorona."
The Story of Llorona: "The story of La Llorona, “The One Who Cries,” is one of faith and faithlessness, passionate love, and shocking loss. Llorona was a very beautiful Aztec princess, beloved by a Spanish conquistador. Alas, the Conquistador abandons her and in her madness and sorrow, she goes to the nearby lake and drowns their children and herself. La Llorona—the “weeping woman"—now haunts Mexico's lakes looking for children to steal. It is a story Germán heard many times as a child. And it was Llorona’s passionate tears that inspired Germán’s greatest creation."

From The Producer
"This beautifully aged spirit boasts notes of oak, fruity undertones, honey and vanilla underpinned by cooked agave. There is a smooth harmony on the palate, not unlike what shows in some very fine bourbons.
Our reposado is very special expression, made using brand new American oak barrels, extra-anejo tequila and a hint of natural aguamiel, you'll be sure to enjoy. "
