Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere

Viña Carmen, the oldest of the Chilean wine houses, was named by its founder Christian Lanz in honor of his wife. It is located in the Maipo Valley, just one hour away from the bustling city of Santiago! This rich blend of Carmenère and Cabernet is a deep ruby color, with ripe aromas of cassis, tobacco and spice. The palate is full bodied with soft tannins, rich fruit and good structure.
Elderton Command Shiraz
$121.99
The 2006 Shiraz Command is a glass-coating opaque purple. Aromas of scorched earth, pencil lead, sandalwood, meat blood, game, and blueberry are followed by a dense, voluptuous, layered Shiraz with tons of flavor. Impeccably balanced and concealing enough structure for 5-7 years of cellaring, it will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2026. 94 Robert Parker

Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz
$89.99
Thrust into the international wine spotlight thanks to an unmatched eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication, The Wine Advocate, Greenock Creek remains the proud standard-bearer for long-lived Barossa Valley red wines of deep colour, abundant flavour and great structure.
Their vineyards are situated in the sub-regions of Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Moppa located along the Barossa Valley’s western edge and are some of the oldest vines in the world. Thin, sandy loam topsoils lie sparsely scattered over ancient deposits of bluestone, marble stone, limestone, quartz and ironstone. Rainfall is limited, often to less than 400 millimetres a year falling through winter and early spring. Subsurface clay retains valuable moisture, sustaining the vines through the long, warm and dry summers and autumns. The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
The Seven Acre vineyard was originally planted in 1990. Each vintage typically undergoes 24-30 months of maturation in American oak with a small amount of further ageing in the bottle before release.
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength
$134.99
The Glenfarclas 105 was featured on Day 7 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar.
The Glenfarclas 105 was introduced more than 50 years ago, back in 1968. It was the first small batch, cask strength Single Malt Whisky released by a distillery. Like everything that Glenfarclas Distillery releases, the whisky within the 105 was matured entirely in ex-sherry casks. No age statement is given on the bottles, but my guess is we are looking at a whisky that is between 7-10 years old. And of course, it is bottled at a bracing 60% ABV or 105 British proof - hence the name. Pour a bit into your glass and it a taste!
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
$53.99
If you like your bourbon full-flavoured and rich in texture then this is the one for you! Toffee, fruity, leathery notes and 94 proof to boot.
Produced by Heaven Hill Distillers and Distilled by their Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY, The Elijah Craig Small Batch used to carry an age statement of 12 years old, however, that was replaced by the Small Batch. It is typically made in batches of up to 200 barrels aged 8-12 years old.
