Gibson's Finest Venerable 18 Year Old is a smooth, rich Canadian whisky with a complex flavor profile. It's known for its oaky, vanilla, and caramel notes on the nose, along with subtle spice and fruity rye. On the palate, it offers caramel, vanilla, and sweet corn flavors, with hints of pepper and oak. The finish is well-balanced, with lingering notes of pepper, zesty lemon, oak, and rye spices, and a sweet, fruity aftertaste.

Gin Mare is a premium Spanish Mediterranean-style gin (42.7% ABV) known for its unique savoury, herbal profile, featuring botanicals like Arbequina olives, rosemary, basil, and thyme. Distilled in a 13th-century chapel, it offers a complex taste of juniper, citrus, and savory spices, often paired with premium tonic, olive, or rosemary.

La Bota de Gin 81 "Bota NO" is a complex and elegant gin, perfumed with a subtle sherry character. It has its origin in the finest distillate, London Dry Gin style, with marked citrus and juniper berries aromas, later aged for almost four years in a single cask previously used for ageing Fino from Jerez until it has been bottled at cask strength. The outcome is a symphony of aromas and flavours and a delicate palate that reminds of manzanilla pasada rather than spirits—an exceptional gin. We do not know any other one like this.

At the beginning of 2014, we selected several old casks that had previously been used for maturing sherry or brandy for over forty years to mature this magnificent gin. One was almost completely emptied for this edition of the "La Bota" series. It is, therefore, an exclusive product, which will last as long as it takes to sell out the few more than six hundred bottles that have come out of this single cask.

Without denying its dry gin character, Ginetic Rose Gin revolutionizes the art of mixology for a look at life through rose-tinted glasses.

This characterful, pale pink gin is delicious and unique, exuding powerful aromas in a subtle balance of juniper, coriander, angelica, and lemon zest, enhanced with flavours of red berries. Ideal for preparing colorful and original cocktails. The nose expresses notes of pepper enhanced with light aromas of fresh fruit. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a persistent aroma of juniper and subtle, fresh raspberry flavours.

The Giovanni Almondo Arneis Vigne Sparse is a great entry into the joys of Arneis, one of the most important white varieties in the Roero. Clean and sharp flavors of white pepper, almond, under-ripe pear and mineral-driven citrus blend into a finish loaded with energy and sparked by a salivating finish.

Wine Advocate-Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy- "This wine offers a unusual bouquest of candied cherry and cola aromas that are distinct to this wine. There is a savory side to the wine, with cedar and baking clove, its center of gravity defers to that candied cherry or creme de cassis characteristic."

Mature plum, vanilla, toast and toasted oak sensations lead the nose. The palate opens with juicy black cherry and plum layered with coffee, dense chocolate and bitter espresso that slightly diminish the impact of its Nebbiolo pedigree and purity. It's already accessible but should also age well. — Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

"This opens with aromas of plum, espresso, truffle and just a whiff of barnyard. The ripe palate delivers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, roasted coffee bean and mocha alongside muted, drying tannins. It's already accessible and evolving quickly so enjoy it sooner rather than later. Drink through 2016." - Wine Enthusiast

From the Piedmont wine region, BARBARESCO 2014 is an intense and full-bodied Barolo with dark fruit, underbrush and earthy flavours on the palate and would benefit from a couple more years in cellar.

Aromas of tilled soil, underbrush and dark berry lead the nose. On the savory easygoing palate, fresh acidity and pliant tannins frame black cherry, clove and a hint of licorice- KERIN O'KEEFE ( Wine Enthusiast)

"White spring flower and white stone fruit aromas lead the nose. On the tangy, refreshing palate, bright acidity accompanies green apple, white peach and a hint of lemon drop before closing on a hazelnut note. Kerin O'Keefe."

"A ruby-colored sparkling dessert wine from northern Italy, Brachetto d'Acqui enjoys a long history rooted in Italian tradition, and it can be paired with sweet foods and savory ones alike. This is soft and round with notes of raspberry and candied cherry on the close."

The Vicini family, established near Pescara around 1500, has been engaged in agriculture since their wool merchant days, with their wine cantina built in 1853.
