Redbreast 12 Year Irish Whiskey 40%
$107.99
Redbreast is one of the best-known Irish whiskies on the market. Check it out: Complex with great depth. Huskier than Powers but that same robustness, with apple notes. This Single Pot Still Irish whiskey is as Irish as it gets. 40%.
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.
Bassus Pinot Noir
$54.99
Yes, Pinot Noir from Spain. Check it out — it's fantastic. If it had a Russian River Valley appellation on the label, this thoroughly modern Pinot Noir would sell for a lot more than it does! You'll love its rich earthy full-blown Pinot character. Utiel-Requena is the Spanish wine region immediately east of Manchuela, a large growing area that is smack-dab in the centre of Spain. Pinot does well here due to the higher altitude which equates to a cooler climate, one best suited to the grape. Bassus is big in style and very satisfying. A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! Enjoy with seared duck breast, fois gras, creamy cheese or roasted chicken.
Blanton`s Original Bourbon
$94.99
According to the Blanton’s website, “The finest bourbon in the world comes from a single barrel. That’s the way Colonel Albert B. Blanton first bottled his private reserve bourbon nearly a century ago. Blanton believed the “center-cut” or middle sections of Warehouse H were the best for aging his bourbon. Personally tasting and choosing each barrel, these barrels were reserved and bottled for ambassadors, dignitaries, family and friends becoming the world’s first single barrel bourbon. His time-honored tradition lives on today as only a handful of barrels from the center of Warehouse H are selected to become Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon."
Laughing Stock Pinot Gris
$36.99
One of our favourite Okanagan wineries! David and Cynthia Enns both worked in the financial industry before moving to BC in 2003 and starting a winery. They sold the winery a number of years ago but the quality they established remains. This bright white wine is made from Pinot Gris, and has silky notes of melon, spice, pear and citrus. It's a real winner, especially paired with roast chicken or seafood.
Coca i Fito Tocat de l`Ala Blanco
$50.99
An exciting KWM exclusive! Made from the indigenous grape varieties white Grenache and Macabeu and aged “sur lies”, the resulting wine is refreshing, citric, pleasant and makes our palate salivate. Good citric and tropical fruit notes, ripe white-fleshed fruit and perfumed flowers. This wine personifies DO Empordà wines, whisking us away to the rugged Costa Brava coastal coves at every sip. Enjoy with freshly grilled seafood, tapas, pasta and clams, or on its own.
Le Vieux Pin Petit Blanc
$35.99
Petit Blanc is supple (but not light), and free of heavy-handed winemaking. No new oak, no malolactic fermentation, no battonage, no nonsense! The 2022 vintage uniquely blends Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Roussanne. Stone and citrus fruit flavour elements are everywhere: apricot, peach, yellow plums, While orchard fruits come across on the mid-palate, the finish and the core of this wine has a citrus, stone fruit and tropical fruits all wrapped perfectly in balance together. 2022 was a cooler growing season and as such the resulting wine is lower in alcohol, even crisper than usual, with excellent focus and precision.
Terra Vecchia Une Ile Rose
$27.99
