Teeling Pot Still Irish Whiskey
$91.99
One of the first official releases from the new distillery carrying the Teeling family name is this Single Pot Still offering. It is made from a combination of 50/50 malted to unmalted barley and bottled at 46% after maturing in a combination of virgin American oak, ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks.
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.
Cincoro Reposado Tequila
$164.99
Produced from 100% Webber Blue Agave, this Reposado tequila has been matured underground for 8-10 months, considerably longer than most Reposados. Cincoro is a tequila brand founded by 5 NBA owners including Michael Jordan. 40%.
Producer Description
"Cincoro Reposado gains its remarkable aromas and taste from a very unique aging regimen. Our barrels are imported from Kentucky, and were first used to age Bourbon. By aging Cincoro Blanco in these barrels, we highlight the smoothness of our Blanco, complimented by wood notes from aging 8-10 months in an underground cellar, considerably longer than the minimum 2 months required for Reposado. On the nose Cincoro Reposado has amazing notes of vanilla, baking spices, and toasted oak. On the palate, sweet cooked agave, caramel, white chocolate."

Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt
$129.99
This Single Malt Whisky from Cotswolds Distillery was aged in ex-peated quarter casks (hmm, which distillery could those be from...). The peated casks lend nuance and, well, notes of peat to the unpeated Cotswolds Whisky.
Quarter casks, to be exact. These 125-litre casks typically offer big flavour and influence on the maturing whisky within a shorter amount of time when compared to a full-size 200 Litre Barrel or 250 Litre Hogshead. Big wood influence, yeah, but don't expect this to be a peat monster, by any means.
It's also pretty cool that this is all floor-malted local barley (Anchor and Fermentis varieties). Love the 'grain to glass' ethos!
