The Glenmorangie Original 10 Year is the distillery's flagship whisky. Matured exclusively in American oak and bottled at 40%.
From the Distiller
"The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.
"It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried 'designer casks' from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time."
Jim Beam Black
$31.99
Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc
$68.99
One of the most iconic white wines made in California, the 2018 vintage is fruity and powerful with a bold acidity. The fruit was primarily sourced from iconic vineyards in Napa Valley including Stagecoach and Hyde as well as from Farina Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain, along with fruit from Spottswoode Estate.
Rust En Vrede Cabernet
$58.99
A respectable 88 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2011 vintage, and the review? "A nice chewy entry of raspberry and wild strawberry laced with white pepper, while the finish is harmonious and focused, albeit rather orthodox. Drink now. Like Kanonkop, Rust En Vrede is one of South Africa’s stalwarts whose wines have improved leaps and bounds in recent vintages....Modern in style, finely crafted and packed full of flavors, Rust en Vrede’s wines are worth pursuing."
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock
$6.49
A smoked bock beer for Bamberg's strong beer season (October through December). Matured for months in ancient rock-cellars underneath Bamberg and tapped freshly from the oakwood cask. Similar to, but much bigger than the classic Maerzen style.
Valenciso Rioja Reserva
$62.99
"Modern delicious Rioja," according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, which gives it a wonderful 93 points! The review: "The 2006 Reserva has a classic, very pure bouquet of warm leather, dried herbs and dark berry fruit, and it offers scents of melted tar with continued aeration. The palate is very harmonious with succulent red cherries, mulberry and dried fig, with subtle white pepper notes sprinkled over the finish. This constitutes a worthy follow-up to the superb 2005 and will have the same propensity to age. Drink now-2025."
Quinta Da Aveleda
$17.99
Classic Portuguese white wine, crisp and easy to drink! "Aveleda Vinho Verde is a fresh, fruity light wine that offers freshness to the palate and romanticism to the spirit," according to the winery website. "Its simple label and the deep green bottle reveal what you are about to experience: a vivacious and smooth white Vinho Verde that can be the perfect match for light meals, seafood or served as an appetizer."
St Cosme Cotes Du Rhone
$35.99
"Syrah. Partially destemmed fruit. Limestone sand, red clay and pebbles on Villafranchian terraces. Tank ageing. The starting point for making wine is work and discipline. It begins with the high standards you impose upon yourself. When I create my Côtes du Rhône, my first thoughts are for you, my customers. At every stage, I wonder what you would like to taste, what you might enjoy. I imagine my bottle of wine on your table and I want to be proud of what I give you to enjoy. No detail can be taken lightly and you have to say to yourself that every tiny decision and every gesture will go towards shaping the final result. Every wine must be made as if it was designed to be the best. As far as I am aware, when you bring up your children, you do your utmost for each and every one of them, irrespective of intellect or beauty. I will always ensure that our Côtes du Rhône is a fine ambassador for our estate. In 2017, low yields produced wines with lots of intensity. Their vibrant fruit adds ‘crunchiness’ and salinity. As always, the bouquet is guided by the Syrah and the clay soils. Tannins are there but they are nicely rounded. Even if it is designed for early-drinking, I like to drink my Côtes du Rhône after a few years’ bottle age which is when it displays the resourcefulness you would expect of a true age-worthy wine. Blueberry, truffle, fennel and wild raspberry." Winemakers notes
Masi Costasera Amarone Riserva
$94.99
93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2009 vintage! The review: "The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Costasera opens to a bright ruby color and dark aromas of dried fruit, raisin, tar, grilled herb and licorice. It imparts a texture that is soft, soothing and rich. It is drinking young right now and could use another three to five years of bottle aging for more evolution and complexity. I wouldn't assign a terribly long drinking window to these wines (five years or maybe more) but there is no doubt that they are drinking beautifully right now."
