Delicious with pan-fried scallops wrapped in bacon or with a salted-honey vanilla cream parfait – you can use it to create a classic Old Fashioned too."
Powers Three Swallow Irish Whiskey

This Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been is bottled at 46%.
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.

Clos des Fous Pinot Noir Subsollum
$37.99
"A great value Pinot Noir with character at an unbelievable price," for the 2016 vintage, according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, which awarded it a fine 91 points! And the review: "The 2016 Subsollum Pinot Noir blends grapes from Pucalán in Aconcagua Costa (75%) planted at eight kilometers from the ocean with 10,000 plants per hectare, plus 25% grapes from Itata. The hand-harvested grapes fermented with a long maceration and aging sur lie, and the wine was kept in cement tanks until bottling. There is a leafy side, more a sensation of decayed leaves, a bit musky and earthy. The palate is light to medium-bodied with great freshness that provides a lively, electric sensation and sweet and sour cherry flavors. This is a great value Pinot Noir with character at an unbelievable price." The winemakers aim to make wine in extreme regions, and some call them crazy. Others, well, we think they're visionaries. Check it out while you can.
