Signatory 30th Annv Craigduff 1973
$2,849.99
Distilled in 1973 and filled in to a Refill Sherry Butt, the cask, No. 2518, was bottled after 45 years at 45.4%. Supposedly peated Glen Keith, no one is really 100% sure where it came from as Strathisla has also been suggested. Regardless, this is a peated malt, but an old one. 91pts Whisky Fun (See Tasting Note Below)!
A Very Curious Whisky
It is also one of the most unusual, controversial and hard to find Scotch whiskies. Independent bottler Signatory, the only company to have ever bottled Craigduff as a single, claims it is a curious double peated Glen Keith. But Chivas Brothers, who own both Glen Keith and Strathisla, have always insisted it is actually from the latter. Regardless of its origin, Craigduff was said to be double peated on account that both lightly peated malt was used, as well as “concentrated peated water” which was added to the charge in the wash still. Curious and controversial stuff it would seem!
Fahr Hefeweizen 6 Pack Cans

Bacardi Superior White Rum
$31.99
Bacardi is one of the world's best-selling brands of rum, moving more than 200 million bottles per year. The company was founded in Cuba in 1830 and thrived there until it was expropriated by Castro's regime. In response, the patriach of the family-owned business bought a surplus B26 bomber with the intention of bombing a Cuban oil field. The plot was foiled when a photo of the plane made the New York Times. Bacardi now operates out of Puerto Rico. The rum is distilled from fermented molasses and aged for at least one year before bottling.

This is an opulent, rich wine, still developing. It has concentration, intense acidity and a green, herbal background. As a contrast, it is full of apple and citrus fruits leavened with touches of apricot. It should be aged, and enjoyed from 2016. 91 points, Wine Enthusiast
