OMC 25th Annv Ardmore 13 Year
$167.99
I really wanted to dislike this... the price is a touch high, it is from an ex-Wine hogshead, and Ardmore, especially young Ardmore is so hit and miss for me. But it is excellent! 2010 vintage, 13 years old, 50%, and bottled for the 25th Anniversary of the Old Malt Cask range.
Rockford Rod & Spur Cab/Shiraz
$89.99
Another Rockford knock-out wine! The blend is 55-45 with Shiraz at the forefront, but the Cabernet imparts a dusty, minty note with a lingering finish, buffered by plenty of ripe cherry flavours from the Shiraz. Like all of the Rockford wines, there's a delicacy to the style, with no excessive extraction, alcohol or harsh tannins. Drink: 2021 - 2034

Dumangin Whisky Ardmore 2009

Ardmore in Ratafia. Hmmmm. Anyone else imagining Braveheart meets Versailles? Trust our friend Gilles Dumangin to marry a rough-and-tumble Highlander with the elegance of French wine. This peated malt spent 9 years in a Refill Hogshead before being moved into an ex-Ratafia Champenois barrel for a 2 year polishing.

Caballito Chato Blanco
$122.99
Made using estate-grown agave at the Santa Rita Distillery in Amatitan, Jalisco by 14th and 15th-generation Tequileros, this is not classified as Tequila. Instead, it is a "Distilado De Agava", made in the manner of Tequila. Agave Spirit is an overarching term that is used when Tequila cannot be due to the spirit being outside of the classified region or not being certified as Tequila for other reasons. That being said, Caballito Cerrero is as authentic as you can get regardless of what you call it.
The Caballito Cerrero brand dates back to 1950 when it was founded by Don Alfonso Jimenez Rosales. Before this, Alfonso co-founded Herradura, eventually striking out on his own after a family dispute. Herradura translates to "horseshoe", which is emblazoned on the bottles of Tequila they sell. Caballito Cerrero roughly translates to "unshoed horse", which gives some idea to how Don Alfonso Jimenez Rosales felt in leaving Herradura to start anew.
Santa Rita is considered by many to be one of the top Tequila distilleries in the world. They do not contract distill for other brands, stick to small batch distillation and only focus on distillation a few times each year, which makes them very different from the monolithic distilleries that produced much of the tequila for a variety of brands out there. Santa Rita is committed to producing Tequila the traditional way and that sometimes means they butt heads with the Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT).
Caballito Cerrero Chato is made with maguey Chato, which in this case is referring to an Agave Angustifolia, which is either related to or synonymous with maguey Espadin. The agave are cooked in a brick steam oven, milled in a double pass mill, fermented in open stainless steel tanks with both wild and proprietary yeast, and distilled in stainless steel and copper.
