Suntory AO Whisky
$109.99
Not exactly a new concept, but perhaps the most coherent and well-executed example of blends that cross international borders and waters. Suntory tells us this five-sided bottle is meant to represent "the most prestigious whisky regions in the world" by marrying whisky (and whiskey) from some the industry's true titans: Yamazaki (Japan), Hakushu (Japan), Cooley (Ireland), Jim Beam (America), Alberta Distillers (Canada), Ardmore (Scotland), and Glen Garioch (Scotland). Each is meant to ante up with its "unique history and climate." And if you're curious, the name 'Ao' means 'blue', referring to the oceans that tie the continents together.

Sea Cider Non-Alc Cherie
$15.99
From The Producer
"Temperance Chérie is a comfort beverage, as welcome as a warm hug on a cold day, reminding us that self-care is essential care. Ripe cherry notes mingle with the best of British Columbian apples to create a sparkler that hints of orchard blossoms kissed by the sun."
Ableforths Bathtub Gin
$64.99
Ableforth's Bathtub Gin is a unique product brought to you by the folks at Atom Brands, think That Boutique-y Gin Company!
Producer Description
"After distillation, Bathtub Gin is cold infused with orange peel and five other carefully selected fresh botanicals over seven days. We taste test this regularly by hand to ensure that distinct Bathtub flavour we’re proud of.
"Every bottle is handwrapped, strung and dipped in Tonbridge, Kent - and we've been doing this since day dot. Sure, this means that every bottle is a little bit different, but that's what makes each bottle so special.
"Yes, it takes longer and has to be made in smaller batches but we know this creates the best tasting, best looking gin out there. But don't just take our word for it, we've won over 40 industry awards including gold at the World Gin Awards 2019, 2020 and 2022!"
Terra Dominicata Domus Aquilae

Domus Aquilae is a full-bodied red wine made from old vine Garnacha grapes. Carthusian monks founded this former monastery at the foot of the Montsant mountain range in the 12th century. The new owners - the Vives family - have restored the farm and vineyards, the very same land where the monks cultivated their vines, olive trees and orchards. The winery and accompanying luxury hotel are situated in the middle of the Montsant Natural Park, where you can immerse yourself in the landscape, silence and gastronomy of the region. The Vives family offers you a haven of peace in one of the most appreciated wine regions in the world.
Coca i Fito Xalar Vermut
$37.99
Vermut - the Spanish word for vermouth - is wildly popular in Spain, with vermut bars around every bend in the major cities. This delicious vermouth is the result of four years of research, led by oenologists Toni Coca and Sílvia Pujol.
This is white vermouth with a Mediterranean character, made from fortified white Grenache wine and local aromatic plants (rosemary, thyme and fennel), balsamic plants (green anise, savoury, laurel...), macerated citrus skins (lemon, orange), roots (gentian, angelica, licorice ...), spices (cinnamon, cloves, turmeric...), and flowers (chamomile, elder, maiden...). In total, more than 30 different plants, aromatics and spices bring complexity, freshness, delicacy, a hint of bitterness, persistence and unique character.

Boutique-y Teaninich 10 Year 50ml
$15.99
This is the third batch of Teaninich to be bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. It was matured for 10 years before being bottled at 49.2% ABV.
You can find 500ml bottles of it here
From The Producer
"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.
The Label
Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."
Sponge Grand Champagne Cognac 1972
$599.99
Producer Note
"Cognac Sponge Edition No.6 is a Heritage.72 Grande Champagne cognac, one of 180 bottles from a single cask at natural cask strength of 50.2%. If our 1972 Armagnac could be equated to an old Glen Grant, this rather more subtle, fine-boned and complex old Grande Champagne Cognac of similar pedigree could be said to resemble a venerable aged Linkwood or Strathisla. Anyway, all you whisky hoarding grainiacs should stop messing about with whisky (except our bottlings, naturally) and give these Cognacs a spin! Dried fruits, earths, tobacco and rancio with a slender drizzle of honey over the top - there are abundant pleasures to be had with these old spirits."
