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."
San Leonardo Villa Gresti
$56.99
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.
Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva 2019
$39.99
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.
Canneto Nobile Di Montepulciano
$44.99
A step up in complexity from its ready-to-drink Rosso Di Montepulciano sibling, this elegant organic red wine (made of 90% Sangiovese, 5% each Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon) drinks like a baby Brunello thanks to 18 months spent in French oak. A robust, full-bodied wine with a smooth tannic structure allows it to pair with red meats and sharp cheeses alike - the perfect complement to a romantic Tuscan meal.
A KWM exclusive.
Carlone Davide Boca Piemonte
$62.99
Boca is both a small D.O.C. zone and a rare red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape (locally named Spanna, 70-90%) along with Vespolina and Uva Rara (Bonarda Novarese), vinified either together or separately. Despite its modest size, its roots can be traced back to Roman times.
The wine is grown in the north of Piedmont, along the Sesia River, on the wooded hills of the Novarra province around the towns of Boca, Maggiora, Cavallirio, Prato Sesia and Grignasco. It delivers notes of wild berries, cherry, and forest floor. Fine but grippy tannins make it a natural fit with beef and lamb.
Cecillon Dragon Eau de Vie
$63.99
This French Eau de Vie is made from barrel-aged cider that is distilled and then bottled at 40%.
Yukon Stranded Sun Radler Tall Can
$4.39
This Ralder from Yukon Brewing contains carbonated lemonade and a touch of lavender. 3% ABV.
From The Producer
"The word radler comes from the German word for cyclist. There are a number of stories about how that morphed into a beer name (no doubt one of them is true… we just don’t know which one). Suffice it to say that the beer is a mix of beer and carbonated lemonade, making it light and ridiculously refreshing. It was our desire to add a twist of flavour and aroma to that concoction, and after some trial and error, settled on lavender. While the lavender is subtle (which it should be, after all) it pairs excellently with the lemon."
Glenlivet 14 Year
$81.99
This fourteen-year-old Glenlivet spends its life ageing away in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks before at least six months finishing in casks that once held Cognac.
