Esquimalt Rosso Vermouth
$31.99
From the producer;
"This BC Vermouth is made in the style of a traditional Italian Rosso Vermouth, but with enough Vancouver Island character to stand on its own. Over twenty different botanicals are precisely extracted into a continuously aged Solera and then added to our fortified mead to create a sweet vermouth tailor made for classic cocktails like a Negroni, Martinez or Manhattan. Frequently enjoyed over ice, perhaps topped with sparkling water.
As always, all of our products are made from mead on Vancouver Island, using 100% British Columbian honey from our own apiary in Fort St. John managed by Paradis Apiaries FSJ."
Poli Sarpa Grappa
$64.99
Producer Description
"This Grappa was conceived in 1983, but it took a few years to see the light of day.
The goal was clear in my mind: a Grappa to encase the aromas of Tradition, but without the typical flaws of old fashion Grappas, often stingy, aggressive and oily.
It had to be an authentic Grappa, sincere and genuine, what I would now call a classic Grappa.
Moreover, it was meant to be a bridge between the Grappa of the past and the Grappa of the future, representing the present of Grappa with its best typical features."

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."

El Jolgorio Espadin
$163.99
Producer Description
"El Jolgorio translates to “the revelry”. Jolgorios are small festivals that occur in remote, mountain villages throughout Oaxaca, Mexico. They celebrate births, deaths, weddings and Saint’s days. For centuries, the lifeblood of these celebrations has been traditional mezcal. In 2010, the Cortés family began building a collective of top mezcal distillers from around Oaxaca. As of 2019, El Jolgorio represents sixteen different families, working in ten different regions of Oaxaca, Mexico, each with its own special story. Every bottle is hand-marked with the specific details of each batch, to truly connect the drinker with the family behind the expression.
In 2017, the team behind the brand realized that certain varieties of agave would be extremely limited and they would only be able to make them available once per year (if at all). They began packaging these rare editions in black bottles to set them apart from the other releases.
The artwork on the first 8 releases was created by Alejandro Peña (Espadin, Pechuga, Tobala, Cuixe, Madrecuixe, Tepeztate, Barril and Mexicano). The next 5 labels were created by Asis Cortes (Arroqueno, Jabalin, Coyote, Tobaxiche, and Cenizo) and the Sierrudo artwork was created by Alberto Almánza."
La Venenosa Sierra Volcanes Raicilla
$122.99
This Raicillo is the work of Arturo Campos and is made using the Agave strain maguey Cenizo. After harvesting the Agave, it is roasted in a traditional pit oven using black oak. It is then twice-distilled in small clay pot stills.
The La Venenosa range of Mexican Spirits was originally selected by Chef Esteban Morales, with the goal of finding the best spirits producers and bringing their little-known productions to a broader market.
Tequila Don Fulano Fuerte
$102.99
From the Producer
"Don Fulano Fuerte is the original overproof; one of a kind, it is profoundly aromatic, full of spice and flavor and yet mellow with floral glimmers of Jasmin and orange blossom. It brings a direct connection with the agave fields, with its terroir, with its patient fermentation and its masterful distillation in copper alembics. Full bodied and generous in its complexity, its finish is full and prolonged. One for the connoisseur and epicurean, to sip neat or unbeatable in a fantastic cocktail."

Agave for Us Wilson's Pride B1 55%
$53.99
This is a curiosity to be sure, an agave spirit distilled in Ontario, from Mexican "agave wine". Matured for 5 months in Sauvignon Blanc casks. Just don't call it Tequila! 55%
Producer Description
"This is a one-of-a-kind spirit born from an abandoned distilling project. Rather than letting the exceptional liquid go to waste, Spirit for Us saw its potential. Agave wine was shipped to Ontario, where it was distilled and aged entirely within Canada. Though it cannot legally be called Tequila, this spirit offers the quality and complexity of a premium aged expression, delivered with a unique Canadian provenance."
