The Irishman Harvest Single Pot Irish
$69.99
Founder's Reserve is the flagship bottle in the Irishman Whiskey range. It is a blend of 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. All components are triple distilled and matured in ex-Bourbon Casks. Bottled at 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.
Old Pulteney 18 Year
$159.99
The new 18 Year replaces the now-discontinued 21 Year. Matured in a mix of Ex-Bourbon and Ex-Sherry, the whisky is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks selected for maturation. Taking its character and colour entirely from the casks within which it has been nurtured, this is a deeply warming whisky. The indulgence extends through this single malt with chocolate and spice defining the character but allowing for the influence of more vibrant zesty flavours."

Cocchi Storico Vermouth Di Torino

If you are a fan of the combination of sweet and bitter that both Vermouth and Amaro showcase so well, but you have not tried anything from the Italian producer Cocchi, this is a great place to start. Cocchi's Vermouth di Torino is bottled at 16% ABV and made from a base of wine that is infused with aromatic herbs and spices that marry together to create a wonderfully complex vermouth that works perfectly on its own or as the focal ingredient in many cocktails.

The rum is lightly doughy with tangy wine cask notes. Soft and fruity with a moderate sweetness.
Marolo Amaro Ulrich
$59.99
Amaro from the Piedmont region of Italy. Bottled at 32% ABV.
From The Producer
"Amaro Ulrich was first made in 1854 to a recipe by Dr Domenico Ulrich, and is now produced in a revised version by the Marolo Distillery, which has years of experience in liqueur and spirit making. Amaro Ulrich contains the active ingredients of 19 herbs, flowers, fruits and roots, making it an effective and reinvigorating digestif. Top note flavours among the various ingredients are wormwood, gentian and anise, and it is precisely the natural nature of the formula that gives it its unique, unmistakable character. The entirely traditional method of production keeps the active and aromatic substances that typify the product unaltered."
