Terra Dominicata Domus Aquilae
$64.99
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.

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."

Durigutti Compuertas Cordisco
$31.99
It all began in 2007 with the first five hectares of an old Malbec vineyard that the brothers acquired a few steps from the winery, on Callejón de la Reta. Since then, a path of recovery and revaluation of the history and traditions of an emblematic wine region of Lujan de Cuyo begins: Las Compuertas. Over the years, more hectares were added to the project, today 31, and they baptized this place with the name of their mother, as Finca Victoria. This work seeks to accompany the development of producers in the area who maintain their vineyards with pride in the face of the unstoppable advance of urbanization.

From Warenghem Distillery in Brittany, France.

Sadly, we only managed to get 50ml bottles of this limited release, not the full size.
Producer Note

We offer you a peated variation of our Armorik single malt : we use Scottish 50 ppm peated malted barley, water from our own source and our artisanal know-how. Breton Single Malt whisky, it has been distilled and matured to highlights its delicate, elegant, and fruity peat."
