Taylor's wines are lovely across the spectrum including this 10-Year-Old. Light ruby/tawny colour. Spicy, with lots of walnutt-y and caramel notes, exotic spices and tobacco. Fruit comes to the fore on palate, red berries perhaps, but the mellow barrel-aged warmth re-emerges into a long finish with a little bolstering tannin and good acidity. Pair with a baked fig pudding or chunk of mature cheddar.

This exquisite rum showcases an intense amber tawny hue. Its opulent and inviting nose reveals a plethora of complex aromas, including spicy notes, jammy fruits, and nutty undertones, complemented by hints of orange flower and a subtle oakiness derived from extensive cask aging. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and concentrated flavor profile, with rich and velvety textures that linger on the palate, culminating in a long and mellow finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Who is afraid of warm years? Hardly the Port elite. Aromas of tropical woods, black cherry and Assam pepper, allspice, poivre long. Short softness, firm acidity, then a gripping, dry but ripe tannin. With air contact, the port becomes increasingly floral and slate-spicy. (A bottle of this port was also the first Port in Space!)

A sweet fortified red made from a blend of wines aged for an average of 30 years in oak casks before being bottled. Complex in its aromas and flavors, it shows ripe, jammy fruit followed by floral notes, herbs and sweet spices and dried fruit, plums and licorice, all supported and balanced by refreshing acidity and a firm, creamy texture. Alcohol 20%.

Taylor Fladgate Ports represent over three and a quarter centuries of family tradition that began with the foundation of Taylor Fladgate & Yeatman in 1692. Chestnut, copper colour core with a light golden rim. The primary aromas are elegant, rich and very delicate. Notes of rum and raisin, clove, nutmeg and a hint of cracked black pepper. Prunes, quince and apricot dance on your palate as the zest of lemon and orange deliver a freshness of acidity to balance the richness of the wine. Notes of scorched pineapple, passion fruit and lychee balance beautifully with the toasted coconut, almonds and butterscotch. The texture and weight of the wine wraps the palate and finishes bright, fresh and poised. The finish just goes on and on. It is the perfect wine with which to commemorate a half century, be it a 50th anniversary or a five-decade landmark.

This blend of old tawnies was created for this limited edition in an 18th-century-style bottle. The wine is in a dry style, showing touches of older tawnies while maintaining a fruity, spicy mode. A stalky edge and raisin flavors add to the structured approach of the wine, which is ready to drink. Roger Voss

Taylor Fladgate is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses (since 1692). It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles. The VVOP is the latest in a series of exclusive releases from Fladgate. It is made from a selection of rare lots that have been maturing in wood, some before the Second World War. The wine will be represented beautifully in a bespoke decanter and accompanying wooden case. Deep chestnut brown in colour, the age is evident upon first glance. The nose has a heady aroma of butterscotch, dried figs and ground coffee, intermingling with marzipan and sultana raisins. Underneath in the background, the aromas are lifted by orange peel and apricot. Hints of vanilla, cedarwood and cinnamon provide a subtle spicy note. The complexity of this port is simply astounding. The acidity is still bright, yet the flavours are mellow and will emerge on the seemingly endless finish. Very few ports retain such balance and finesse after so many years maturing in cask. This is surely a port collectors masterpiece. 

Discover the true magic of Midnight Gin, where impeccable balance takes centre stage.

Tbilvino Akhasheni is a semi-sweet red wine made from the Saperavi grape variety. It is known for its light berry color, ripe plum notes, and harmonious velvety taste with a subtle hint of chocolate. The wine has a pleasant acidity and is naturally sweet, with a finish that includes dark berries and spice notes.

Saperavi' is the Georgian word for 'paint' or 'dye,' which is fitting considering it's also the name of one of the few teinturier (red-fleshed) grapes that you'll commonly find. This lush, off-dry red has flavours of pomegranate and strawberry with hints of forest floor balanced by a brisk acidity and velvety tannins.

This wine boasts a well-preserved grape flavor, highlighted by rich undertones of blackberry and cherry. Its characteristic dark ruby color complements a velvety, well-balanced taste, with natural sweetness and delightful acidity that enhance its overall harmony.

A 2 Year Old Straight Bourbon from Texas distillery, Ironroot Republic. This has been distilled from a mash of 100% Bloody Butcher Corn, meeting the requirements for Bourbon having been matured in a new charred oak barrel (Char 1 - Heavy Toast).

Once again we’ve bottled this at natural cask strength and and have filled just 242 bottles.

An absolutely striking variety of Heirloom corn grown since the 1800’s, Bloody Butcher is probably the deepest red corn available anywhere. Ears grow to 12″, with a deep and bright red colour.

The distillery uses multiple varieties of corn, rye, wheat, and barley. The vast majority of which are grown within 60 miles of the distillery.

Bloody Butcher Corn is a pretty important grain for Ironroot Republic. They use it as a flavouring grain in about 20% of the whiskeys that they make, so to have a single cask 100% Bloody Butcher Corn Bourbon is kind of a big deal

Pineapple is the “King of Fruits,” and Maui Gold pineapples . . . well, they are the King of all the pineapples! We select only the best to make the Hula o Maui. We look for almost under-ripe fruit to accentuate the fresh pineapple aromatics that are represented in the wine.

Quite possibly one of the most unique sparkling wines you’ll ever come across, the Hula o Maui is made from 100% Maui Gold pineapples, produced in the Traditional Method (Methode Champenoise). The wine is aged on the lees for 6 to 8 months to develop mouthfeel and texture but not long enough to lose its fresh fruit-forward nature.

Beginning as a trial, 100 cases were produced for the 20th anniversary of the winery. We sold out of them in a month, and we’ve been trying to keep up with the demand ever since. It is an amazing and perfectly accurate representation of Hawaii – fruity and lively.

Fermented in stainless steel. 12.5% abv.
Should be enjoyed young and fresh.

Irish single grain whiskey from Teeling! There are only an elite few Irish single grain whiskies out there at the moment, but Teeling went ahead and made theirs unique by maturing it in Californian Cabernet Sauvignon casks. Deliciously sweet with a good deal of spice and fruit hide within the Teeling Single Grain.

Multiple award-winning single malt that is uniquely aged in five distinctive wine casks. Shows inviting fruit-forward aromas with hints of toffee, vanilla, herb and floral notes. The palate is warm and creamy with flavours of caramel, spice and tropical fruit on a lengthy finish. Enjoy neat or add a few drops of pure water.

he flagship expression from Dublin's Teeling, the Small Batch Irish whiskey is made with a blend of malt and grain whiskeys, initially aged in ex-Bourbon barrels. Following that, the Teeling folks moved the whiskey over to casks that had previously held Central American rum! In these casks, the whiskey had an extra rest for up to 12 months, before being bottled at 46% ABV without any chill-filtration. Wonderfully full-flavoured, with plenty of fresh fruit, creamy vanilla and lively spice notes to enjoy!

High-altitude, old bush-vine, indigenous varieties from Spain, and grown organically. So many core attributes that we love about our wines, all combined here in this delicious white from Telmo Rodriguez. Lovely, uncomplicated, and texturally pleasing. Basa smells of green tree-fruits with the hist of the tropics alongside some more green herbal notes. Medium-bodied with good length, a great mix of fruit flesh, earth and gently nutty tannin cascading on great natural acidity. Textured without overt fruit sweetness, it's savoury, with minerality and good length, perfectly linear and rich.

Yjar is a blend of old vines of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Granegro, and Rojal, all indigenous to the region. Selected from the property’s oldest and finest plots, the wine is vinified and aged in French oak barriques for 30 months. Despite Rioja’s tumultuous history, Telmo Rodríguez is demonstrating the region’s ability to produce world-class wines, and Yjar is a testament to his success in doing so.

This is a rich blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Grannegro and Rojal co-planted on a single vineyard from the limestone foothills of Sierra de Tolono in Rioja Alavesa. The nose is dense and rich with a concentrated and balanced combination of fruit and spice - cherries, ripe plums and licorice with precise tannins. Only 7000 bottles were produced.

Since 2006, Templeton Distillery has supported the American rye revolution as the choice of those who seek a quality rye whiskey, whether sipped neat or as an added kick to your favorite cocktail. Aged 4 years in charred new American oak barrels. Ideal for enjoying over ice or mixed in a classic whiskey cocktail.

Created with gin distilled in B.C. and produced in small batches, using only the finest ingredients this is a quality product. Lush mango and peach flavours are beautifully balanced and don’t overshadow the elegant citrus and light juniper notes of the gin. Pair with fresh oysters or Thai cuisine.

Serralunga is one of the 11 villages that are allowed to have the name "Barolo" on the label. Located on soils of Serravalian, this thick clay-like soil allows for these wines to age for 35 years or more. Tenuta Cucco is a family owned winery with grapes for this wine coming from two cru: Bricco Voghera and Cerrati. Classic aromas of roses, undergrowth, licorice and spices. Tart cherries and spice dominate on the palate with good structure, intensity with a warm finish. A beautiful expression of Nebbiolo at an excellent price point!

Extremely fascinating and polehydric in the primary profile alternating notes of red prunes, currants, coriander, white pepper, bergamot and green mandarin. A lot of lime describes the very fresh secondary scene. Medium bodied, perfectly extracted tannins and a finale with a graceful, subtle closure. Wow!

This wine exudes freshness both on the nose and palate, with an abundance of crisp apple and pear flavors taking the spotlight. While it may not exhibit a wide range of complexities, its balance, intensity, and immediate drinkability more than compensate for this.

Located in Calabria, the toe of Italy's boot, Cirò is the only DOC of the region for red wines, it is made from 100% Gaglioppo. Juicy and vibrant, it exudes aromas of small red berries, citrus zest, and earthy underbrush notes with a hint of minerality. Ready to drink and enjoy with your barbecued burgers this summer!

Enticing aromas of fragrant blue flower, ripe woodland berry, menthol and star anise are front and center on this full-bodied red. The firm palate features crushed raspberry, blood orange, underbrush and coffee bean while tightly wound, fine-grained tannins show up at the close and carry through the coffee-bean finish.
