Producer Description
“An unfiltered London Dry style gin made with more than 10x the normal botanicals, sourced from around the world. Our distillation process leaves all of the aromatic oils and essences from our botanicals intact, creating an alluring translucence when the Tempest Dry Gin is chilled or mixed. Upon opening the bottle you’ll experience Resinous Juniper, weaving through Fresh, Bright Citrus and an Intoxicating Blend of Spices, all perfectly balanced. The harmony continues on the palate, for a perfectly articulated botanical freshness.”
Jura 21 Year The Tide
$319.99
From the Jura website: "Matured in American white oak ex bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected virgin American white oak casks."
Words alone can't express how happy we are that this whisky hasn't been shuffled through half a dozen or so cask types before bottling, as is usually the way with Jura (and a few other brands under the family's umbrella). Ex-Bourbon maturation and more than two decades of slumber tell us that this saline little malt from the Isle of Jura's only distillery should be a real cracker. We also appreciate the 46.7% bottling strength.
Lismore 18 Year
$137.99
An 18 year old "mystery Speyside" single malt from The Lismore. This is not a distillery, but a company bottling single malt from an undisclosed distillery. The company itself just happens to be owned by that family that also owns Glenfarclas Distillery... Bottled at 43% after 18 years.
Paul Zinck Gewurztraminer
$36.99
Paul Zinck's wines have always been synonymous with great value and his Gewurz is no exception. This is a family owned winery in the small Alsace village of Eguisheim, just south of Colmar. Respect for the environment is part of the ethic of the Zinck family. For that reason, the winery is heading progressively towards organic agriculture on nearly all of the surface area. Today, the vines are grown respecting a belief in sustainable production, along with organic and biodynamic agricultural methods. In the Vineyard, the growth of natural grasses is encouraged in order to get the deepest root growth from the vines and also to deal with extreme weather conditions. The expression of the soil and the flavours it provides is optimal.
El Enemigo Cabernet Franc
$46.99
El Enemigo is a renowned Argentinian wine producer based in Mendoza, celebrated for its high-altitude Malbec and Cabernet Franc created by Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena. Known for a philosophy that honors internal struggles—"the original enemy"—their wines are highly rated, particularly from the Gualtallary region.
Lindores Abbey 1494 Single Malt
$79.99
Lindores Abbey is one of the baby Lowland distilleries, only founded in 2017, but rich in history stretching back hundreds of years. We've told the tale a few times, so won't bore you again, but trust that this young'un is producing some great spirit already. The future looks bright. We've done a couple of tastings involving Lindores Abbey now, and the affection 'round here is only growing. This flagship expression - matured in Bourbon, Sherry, and Wine Barriques - is a real cracker for such a babe.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
Kavalan Triple Sherry Single Malt
$141.99
This is not a surprising release to see from Kavalan, we know they have great sherry matured whiskies, though I am little surprised they chose to bottle it at 40%... chasing the Dalmore crowd I suppose... ;) Regardless, I am sure it will be excellent, Kavalan whiskies rarely disappoint!
Producer Description
"This is the first time we've combined our whisky in three different sherry casks. It's all about multiplying and enriching the sherry flavours to make a distinct whisky that has dried fruits, rich caramel, sweet maltose and tropical fruits as its profile. During this process, the flavours collide through a myriad combination of the three sherry cask whiskies, creating up to 9 distinct sherry dimensions. With its main character the dried fruits of the Oloroso cask, Triple Sherry is embellished with the sweetness of PX and Moscatel casks."
