Haymans Smith & Cross Jamaican Rum
$44.99
Bottled at Navy Strength - a respectable 57% ABV.
From The Producer
"Smith & Cross Jamaica Rum contains only Wedderburn and Plummer pot still distillates, famous for their notes of exotic fruits and spice. The incomparable complexity of this rum delivers a tour de force of flavour that historically made it a cornerstone of classic rum drinks. We have chosen not to chill filter this spirit in order to retain its full flavour.
The mark of Smith & Cross traces its lineage to one of England’s oldest producers of sugar and spirits. Its history dates back to 1788 with a sugar refinery located at No. 203 Thames Street, by the London Docks. Over time, the firm and its partners became prominent handlers of Jamaica rum, with extensive underground cellars along the River Thames."
Cune Reserva
$32.99
The history of Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España began back in 1879 at this winery in Barrio de la Estación train station in the town of Haro. Over more than 140 years, the winery has continued to grow around the Aldea del Vino (Wine Village), a sunny courtyard flanked by unique stone buildings with ceramic tile roofs, which has become the central hub of CUNE.
San Leonardo Villa Gresti
$64.99
More than 1000 years ago, San Leonardo was a monastery, but for over three centuries now, it has served as the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians. Today, the estate is a garden of vineyards and roses, protected by the massive barrier of the Alps, which blunt the force of the cold northern winds while the valley floor benefits from, and in turn releases, warmth from nearby Lake Garda. The winemaking practices are still uncompromisingly artisanal, yielding wines that are true gems of Italy’s wine tradition, marked by freshness, harmony, and an innate elegance
It's a blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and carmenere, a powerful wine offering notes of raspberries, cassis, balsamic hints, and sweet spices, with the ability to age for another decade.
La Trappe Quadrupel
$8.49
Sometimes, a Tripel just isn't enough. For those times, reach for La Trappe's Quadrupel. 10% ABV.
Jack Daniel's Bonded Triple Mash
$56.99
This intriguing bottle from Jack Daniel's is not a just Tennesse Whiskey - instead the label states it is a Blended Straight Whiskey. It is created using three different bonded whiskies made and matured at Jack Daniel's Distillery: Malt Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, and Tennessee Whiskey all married together and bottled at 50% ABV.
As the label and name of this Jack Daniel's Whiskey show, this is a Bonded Whiskey. That means it has to adhere to the 1897 Bottled In Bond Act, which states:
- All whiskey in the bottle must be produced by one distillery and by one distiller over the course of one distillation season.
- The whiskey must be at least four years old.
- It must be bottled at least 100 proof / 50% ABV
- The whiskey must be aged in bonded warehouses under United States federal supervision.

Rottensteiner Pinot Grigio
$39.99
A unique take on a common varietal often showcased in Italian wines, Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio blends grapes from both moderate and high-elevation vineyards to create harmony between body and elegance, between structure and minerality.
Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio is a beguilingly complex wine, ripe with tropical fruit and warm spice notes. This allows for an effortless pairing with all manner of food, from starters to poultry - or have it on its own to fully explore all the complexity this wine has to offer.
Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva
$44.99
An exploration into the rich winemaking history of South Tyrol, Rottenstiner's Lagrein Riserva has elegance to spare. The sedimentary soils irrigated by the Talfer River passing through the vineyards near Bolzano allow for the native Lagrein grapes to flourish. After fermentation, the wine is matured in large wooden barrels to further develop texture and complexity.
A deep garnet-coloured wine, with arrestingly complex aromas that oscillate between delicate florals of violet and the earthly elegance of chocolate and spice. A distinct tannic edge is perfectly balanced by fresh yet restrained acidity, creating a wine just waiting to be paired with red meats and ripe, intense cheeses.
