Translation from the Producer's Website
"Hiroshima Ginjo Sake was born from the soft water brewing method established by Miura Senzaburo and the rice polishing technology of Satake (Higashihiroshima City), which developed Japan's first powered rice polishing machine. After more than 120 years, Ginjo Sake is opening the door to a new stage. The focus of innovation is on the shape of the rice. From the traditional method of polishing rice into a spherical shape, to a thin, flat polishing (Shingin). The latest rice polishing machine has achieved the same protein reduction rate with 60% polishing as the traditional 40% polishing. Each bottle of directly drawn raw sake is carefully bottle-pasteurized and stored in bottles, preserving the fresh flavor of freshly pressed sake."

Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes
$139.99
Part of what Old Pulteney calls The Coastal Series, this whisky started its life in American Oak casks before a period of finishing in ex-Pineau des Charantes casks. Pineau des Charantes is a fortified wine made by blending Cognac with fresh grape juice or lightly fermented grape must.
The Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Each cask in our Coastal Series breathes sea air, leaving traces of its own distinctive maritime location. Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is created by maturing our spirit by the Caithness Coast in American oak casks, then transferring them to ex-Pineau des Charentes casks, handcrafted using French oak. The result is a sweet, rich single malt that celebrates a shared coastal connection – bursting with flavours of dried fruits and a subtle saltiness that’s shaped by the sea."
Castello D`Alba Red
$21.99
From the Douro, this red wine is made with Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz (Temp and Touriga Nacional. The vines are dry-farmed and the grapes hand-picked, with fermentation and ageing taking place in stainless steel before bottling.
Ledaig 9 Year Red Wine
$139.99
Finished in Bordeaux Red Wine Casks and bottled at 56.8%, this Ledaig will likely be beastly and divisive in style. Then again: what Ledaig isn't?
Producer Description
"The latest Limited Edition release from Ledaig (our peated single malt) has been fully matured in red wine casks and bottled at cask strength. The resulting dram is bursting with flavour - heather and pine cones with woody sea salt and floral notes on the finish."
Jack Wiebers Classic of Islay H&T Cask
$157.99
Classic of Islay bottlings tend to be top-notch, and given that this is a single cask selected by Heads & Tails we have high hopes for it. Classic of Islay bottlings are rumoured to come from an Islay distillery that starts with the letter L. Not Laphroaig — the other L... Who knows for certain, though! Bottled at 56.2% from cask no. 409.
