Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak 46%
$169.99
Think of this as a reduced strength version of the Solist Bourbon. One other key difference, this is bottled not as a single cask, but rather in batches. 46%.
Producer Description: “Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak dilutes Solist ex-Bourbon with Kavalan spring water to 46% strength. It is incredibly smooth with a soft sweetness, losing the harshness and the alcohol edge and lingering over those unique flavours. It is clean and fresh tropical fruitiness with pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices.”
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Clean with fresh tropical fruitiness and pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices. Imagine being soothed by that comfortable sea breeze with a calming and refreshing effect. This malt can do that for you after a hectic day at the office.
Palate: Soft, well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla and oak spices, round and complex with silky smoothness.

Heartland Cabernet Langhorne Creek
$24.99
The Heartland story began in the late 1990’s when winemaker Ben Glaetzer (of Amon Ra fame) became excited about the outstanding quality of fruit being grown in some of South Australia’s lesser-known regions, in particular Langhorne Creek. Together with industry veterans Scott Collett, Grant Tilbrook and more recently, Nick Keukenmeester, they grew Heartland into an award-winning winery. It offers blackcurrant and berry fruits wrapped in a neat parcel of dried herbs, and a hint of eucalyptus. A touch firmish in the mouth, but the finish is long and seemingly endless.
Four Winds Nectarous Single
$5.79
Decently tart with huge fruity notes is the name of the game here. A great balance between sweet and tart, with plenty of peach, nectarine and citrus all over. Alberta has waited long enough to get a taste of this superb dry-hopped sour.
