Smirnoff Vodka
$32.99
The original Smirnoff Vodka distillery -- a favourite of the Tsars -- was started by one Pyotr Smirnov in Moscow in the 1860s. However, this mega-brand is far gone from the days of producing vodka in Russia. The brand is part of Diageo's massive alcohol portfolio and is made in numerous distilleries owned by the company. As of 2010, countries that have Diageo-operated distilleries that produce Smirnoff Vodka include Argentina, Albania, Brazil, Canada, Honduras, India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mongolia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Smirnoff Vodka is purportedly made entirely from corn, which makes it gluten free..
Smirnoff 375ml
$17.99
The original Smirnoff Vodka distillery -- a favourite of the Tsars -- was started by one Pyotr Smirnov in Moscow in the 1860s. These days, the company is one of the world's biggest vodka producers. In 2005, the New York Times held a blind tasting of 21 international vodkas, and Smirnoff placed first as the "hands down favourite." Try it for yourself and see what the fuss is all about! Oh, and it hasn't been made in Russia in a long time... to the best of our knowledge the Smirnoff we get is made in Lethbrige, Alberta..
Crown Royal

A classic Canadian whisky, and the top-selling Canadian whisky in the US. It was created to celebrate King George VI's grand tour of Canada in 1939. A bottle of Crown Royal was placed in the Royal train to symbolize hardworking Canadian people. Crown Royal has a light amber colour, with floral, buttery, vanilla and peach aromas. On the palate, it has a hint of sweet peach flavours with wood notes and a dry finish.
Baileys Irish Cream
$37.99
Baileys Irish Cream was created by Gilbeys of Ireland as it searched for something to introduce to the international market. The process of finding a product began in 1971 and it was introduced in 1974 as the first Irish Cream on the market. Despite attributions to Andrew Bailey of the R.A. Bailey Company, no such person existed. The choice of the name Bailey was based on branding. Baileys is a cream liqueur made from a base of Irish whisky. It is the perfect addition to coffee or hot chocolate on a cold day, or for use in other specialty drinks.

Currently produced in Midleton by Irish Distillers, Jameson's has a pronounced pot still character and is matured in charred American Oak.
Producer Description
"Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish Whiskey. What's that we hear you say? Well first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distill them- not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years. It’s where we recommend starting your whiskey journey. How to drink it? Any way you like. Just add mates and widen the circle. Triple distilled, twice as smooth, one of a kind."
anCnoc 12 Year Knockdhu
$69.99
anCnoc is Scottish Gaelic for 'the hill', which, in English is rendered 'Knockdhu' and should not be confused with the other distillery 'Knockando'. The brand decided to market itself under the label anCnoc to avoid confusion. Knockdhu is located in the Eastern Highlands not far from the town of Keith. In more recent years the whisky has been marketed heavily as a single malt, though for most of its life it has been primarily produced for blends like Haig. 40%
Sperone Marsala Dry
$24.99
Marsala is like a distant cousin to sherry. Lord Nelson used Marsala to fortify the Royal Navy way back, when sailing ships sailed the high seas. Marsala is produced in the region surrounding the city of Marsala in Sicily. It's an intensely aromatic, fortified wine. Dry and clean. It's used in cooking and sauces but it's also very nice as an aperitif, or paired with Gorgonzola, Roquefort and other spicy cheeses.
