Compass Box Nectarosity
$104.99
Not happy to rest on their laurels as one of the best blended whisky creators on the planet, Compass Box now seems to be getting into the business of creating words. Compass Box Nectarosity's core is built around seasoning American Oak barrels with grain whisky for a period of maturing and then filling them once more with Malt Whisky. After the malt component matures, it is blended with the original grain whisky component, and the Nectarosity blend is born.
That is the short version - there is more Compass Box magic that goes into creating Nectarosity than just these two core components. You can check out more info below. Bottled at 46% ABV.
From The Producer
"Nectarosity contains casks that we’ve been experimenting with for the last seven years. These casks are special American oak barrels that are deployed twice. First to impart sweet spice to grain spirit for one year, which finishes maturing in other casks; this becomes our parcel of grain whisky from The Girvan Distillery in the composition. Once 'prepared', the barrels age malt whisky from The Clynelish Distillery, bringing grilled apples, nutmeg and maple syrup to the party. We take these two characterful whiskies, blending them with select others to really dial up the juicy fruit and vibrant toffee notes."

Annex Hell Bent German Lager
$18.99
From the Brewery
"Hell Bent | German Lager 4.5% ABV
We went all in with this one. German malt, German hops, and a pinch of German brewing technique make for a true-to-tradition German Pils. Crisp and balanced with brilliant clarity and a soft golden colour, Hell Bent has the clean, snappy finish you want from a Pils, with just enough character to keep things interesting.
Notes of toasted graham cracker and a woody nuttiness from the Rauchmalt are all brought together by a final hop addition."
Caprili Brunello Di Montalcino
$103.99
Caprili is a Brunello estate in the southwestern sector of the Montalcino appellation near the hamlet of Tavernelle. They are considered one of the old guard of Montalcino producers as they were established in 1965 when they split off from the famous Pieve Santa Restituta estate. The estate is extremely well located, next to Pieve Santa Restituta but also immediately adjacent to Soldera. As such, it is no surprise they are making great wine at Caprili. The bigger surprise is that they are still very much “under the radar”.
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Caprili 2019 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a very pretty bouquet with a level of ripe fruit and pure cherry essence that does not come easily to a wine aged five years following the harvest. The primary fruit remains intact in this vintage. This village bottling shows velvety richness and concentration that stems directly from that exceptional fruit quality. There is rich texturing and fine chalky tannins to close. Drink: 2025-2040. (12/14/23)"
96 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): “This red is all about finesse, delivering superb balance and complexity, with cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb aromas and flavours. Succulent and charming, yet with a solid base of tannins and vivid acidity, this remains focused through the long aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. (6/30/24)"

Loch Lomond Steam & Fire
$57.99
Disregard the price - this Single Malt Scotch from Loch Lomond Distillery is a steal - especially considering it is bottled at 46%. The peated spirit is matured in American Oak before being finished in heavily charred casks, enhancing the bold and peaty yet smooth profile.
Producer Description
"This special expression is created using spirit from both our remarkable straight neck and more traditional swan neck stills. The spirit was then matured in American oak barrels and finished in heavily charred casks, flamed by our own in-house cooperage. The charring process adds a unique complexity and brings out a melted brown sugar character with a rich buttery mouthfeel and notes of orange and dark chocolate."
