PENDERYN WELSH WHISKY
Like
Welsh Gold Penderyn
Single Malt Welsh Whisky is a rare and precious commodity.
This golden malt whisky signals
the welcome return of whisky distillation to Wales after an
absence of over 100 years. |
Running Hare Vineyard
Pinot Grigio, winner of the Maryland
Governor's Cup - Silver Award 2008. Aged in French
oak, this wine feels soft on the palate with nice melon
and grapefruit flavors. Easily comparable with top
Italian producers, but this one is actually grown and produced in
Prince Frederick, MD.
Try it - you like it.
|
Imperial Vodka
This Vodka is very similar to “Russian Standard” and is
produced by the same company using the same strict quality control and
ingredients.
Both
use the softest glacier lakes water, which is not chemically treated,
but multi-filtered through 5-micron filters, which retains water’s
natural softness.
Imperial
Vodka has extra filtration of the blend through silver-impregnated
granules, which makes its taste smoother and velvety.
|

This is an agressive
beer. You probably won't like
it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and
depth. This is a strong hoppy beer with a kick you won't forget. Great
by itself or with pasta or red meat dishes. |
|
Regalia Vodka
Clear. Faint spicy notes of rosemary,
coriander, and mint on the nose. A very supple and round entry leads to
a smooth, off-dry medium-full body with sweet cream, delicate herbs,
and spices, and long sweet frosting and mineral fade. This will go
brilliantly with seafood and caviar.

1965 Tomatin,
37-year-old, Duncan Taylor Single Malt Whisky
This
is one of the most outstanding single malts that we
have available. To
be 37 years old and have so much life is very, very rare. Has a rich,
med. amber color. The nose is fruity with sherry and carmel notes. On
the palate it has a nice nuttiness and only lightly peated. Very warm
and spicy on the finish. This would make a beautiful gift for anyone
celebrating their 40th Birthday or Anniversary! Cask #20945 52.7% ABV.
Only 181 bottles produced.

Glenmorangie - Elegance
Glenmorangie
Elegance is a 21-Year Old
malt whiskey, one of the oldest malts to be
released from the Glenmorangie Distillery. It has a complex mixture of
smoke, sandalwood and mulled wine underlined with traces of oranges,
nuts, and marzipan. Available only in this package, the unique decanter
is hand-blown by Scotland's leading glassmakers, Caithness Glass in
Wick, to replicate Glenmorangie's famous swan-necked pot stills at its
distillery.

Soju
Chum-Churum
Silver medal
winner (Best in Class) at the International Wine and Spirits
Competition (IWSC). Chum-Churum
is a potato based Soju.
At
only 20%
ABV this beverage is very smooth and enjoyable to drink.

Ultimat(e)
Vodka
is
a truly a
decade
ultra-premium
vodka product in its handsome
Polish hand-blown cobalt
blue and clear heavy crystal bottle with a
crystal and cork stopper.
Ultimat is dedicated to creating a very high
quality product beginning with the bottle, which takes craftsmen 24
hours to create each unique hand-blown bottle, which are actually two
bottles in one, and have a small bubble on the bottom of each bottle,
and continues with the Master Distiller in Poland crafting outstanding
vodka from a blend of potato, wheat and rye, whereas most vodkas are
either made from potatoes or grain. Try it chilled and neat; smooth
richness, with a pleasant, subtle clean
aftertaste.

GOLDENBARR CHOCOLATE
VODKA Imported
from Ukraine, where the centuries old tradition of vodka
distillation
is legendary, Goldenbärr is one of the finest vodkas produced
anywhere
in the world. Hand crafted by expert distillers using ancient
traditions and customs, it is the worlds first genuine Chocolate Vodka. |
|
Kübler Absinthe
In keeping with the local tradition of clandestine La Bleue,
Kübler 53 is crystal clear, has no added sugar and is finished at
53% alcohol. It is very aromatic and has a deep white
louche, which, in contrast to its French counterparts
in Pontarlier, is brought on by a judicious use of star-anise in the
formula. This absinthe is already the best-seller in Switzerland and is
getting much international attention and praise. We believe that this
original Swiss version of Kübler deserves our attention and its
place in our offerings as a fine representation of a high-quality,
commercially distilled absinthe with a 'clandestine' spirit.

Scorpion
Mezcal
Worms
are for wimps
These single-barrel
mezcals allow consumers to fully appreciate the
true flavorful and aromatic expression of fine100% agave spirits.
Distilled in a small artisanal palenque, these mezcals
exhibit the same complex subtleties as a cognac, and are far superior
to bulk-made tequilas. As a distinguishing feature, all varieties of
SCORPION MEZCAL come with a real scorpion in the bottle. |
Bushmills 1608
Michael Jackson
Nose
Distinct rose-like aroma of Bushmills. Sandalwood.
Palate
Syrupy, sherryish. Nutty. Almondy.
Finish
Hard liquorice. Late rootiness.
Comment
Very rich and sweet, but still a Bushmills.
Vampire
not
just for Halloween.
Hallmark
characteristics
of the Cabernet variety, notes of rich
dark fruit flavors and yet
light, not too dry, with complex oak structure. Notes of bell peppers
tones complete the finish. Vampire Cabernet is a well made, modern
example of the "king" of red wines, with fine tannins and a mixture of
70% French and 30% American oak. Keep away from direct sunlight!

GRAND
MARNIER SPECIAL CUVEES
CUVEE
DU CENTENAIRE (1827-1927)
The manufacturing process of
Grand
Marnier Special Cuvee is the same as Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, but,
the cognac base allows production of better qualities using only
selected and aged cognacs.
This special blend is made from
old
and selected fine cognacs mainly from Grande Champagne and Petite
Champagne aged up to 25 years.
Cuvée du Centenaire was first
produced to
commemorate the centennial (1827-1927) of the House of
MARNIER-LAPOSTOLLE. Although made in the same way as Grand Marnier
Cordon Rouge, the use of older and finer cognacs in this special
Cuvée gives the liqueur a smoother finish and a unique flavor.
Cuvée
du Centenaire was
awarded a Gold Medal
at the 1983 International Wine & Spirit Competition in London.
Now
available in our store.

SIGNATORY
Brora 1981
A December
1981 distillation, bottled in May 2006 from a sherry cask
(#656). Limited to 255 bottles. Not the peatiest of Brora and more of
a fruit bomb, but excellent nonetheless. A silver medal too in the Malt
Maniacs Awards 2006
"WHISKY" magazine notes:
Nose
A walk across the grassy dunes to a clean beech in a light, fresh
breeze.
Palate
Teasing balance of sweet, creamy maltiness and salty, savoury, vegetal
flavours. After the walk, warming soup.
Finish
Peppery dry. Bring on the cullen skink.
Comment
What a distinctive malt Brora was, and there are some excellent
bottlings available.

Marilyn
Monroe
Wine enthusiasts
with a sense of humor have long enjoyed the playful
spirit behind Marilyn Merlot wines,
which today are equally prized by
wine connoisseurs, collectors, and fans of Marilyn Monroe.
Since 1985, each
distinctive vintage of Marilyn
Merlot
has featured a unique label based on a photograph of Marilyn Monroe and
designed by Susann Ortega of Ortega Design Studio.
Each new vintage
is released on Marilyn Monroe's
birthday, June 1st, and sells out quickly. Collectors have made Marilyn
Merlot one of the fastest-appreciating wines on the market, as
twelve-bottle sets of the 1985 through 1996 vintages continue to grow
in value and are now selling for $7,000.
While the
concept and engaging artwork of these
wines
has given them a degree of fame, it is the wine in the bottle that
merits the favor of those who seek it every year. All vintages carry
the Napa Valley appellation (except for the 1987 vintage, which was
imported from France). The wines are made at the Cult Wine Central in
Oakville, California. Some of Napa Valley's finest vineyards contribute
to the blend, which is typically about 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet
Franc.
Marilyn Merlot
wines consistently win praise from
critics and lovers of stylish and delicious Merlot.
|
Norma Jeane
Norma wines reflect the freshness and youthful
charm of the young Marilyn Monroe. These are wines full of vibrant
fruit flavors that are meant to be enjoyed soon after they are released.
Since the first vintage in 1998, each Norma Merlot
has been produced from grapes grown in the Tallerico Vineyard in French
Camp, California. A little Syrah is blended with typically 80 percent
or more Merlot, giving an abundance of fruit flavor and luminous color
to each vintage.
Each vintage of Norma
Merlot features a photograph
taken of the young actress in the years just before she captured the
imagination of the American public as Marilyn Monroe. Designer Susann
Ortega creates each label in the vintage series to reflect the
unabashed appeal that will always be Norma .
Like Marilyn Merlot, Marilyn Cabernet, and the
newly-released Velvet Collection, Norma wines have captured the
imagination of collectors and as well as those who simply enjoy the
exuberance of young and delicious Merlot.
Norma is becoming highly collectable. The first vintage, 1998, is
being sold for over $150 per bottle. It's distributed in most states,
so you can ask your local retailer to get it for you.
|
| Did
you know that had
you purchased the past 12 vintages of the Marilyn
Monroe collection for between $15-33/each bottle it would have today a
collector's value in excess of $7500? |

From
The Orkney Brewery
– This powerful ale is
named after Thorfinn Hausakluif, the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney – who
lived and ruled around 950 AD. Although he lived and loved and fought
amidst a violent way of life, he was sufficiently adept at surviving
the perils of his precarious existence and died in his bed leaving five
strong sons to meet a premature and not so peaceful end!
Orkney Brewing – Skull Splitter Poured into a 12
oz beer glass. 8.5% ABV.

Strongest Beer?
Bavarian brewer
Harald Schneider claims he
has concocted the world's strongest beer. It's 50.8 proof (25.4%
alcohol) and is served in a shot glass. Schneider says it tastes like a
quirky mixture of beer and sherry.
We don't have Harald's
beer in our store, but you can chose from over
200 different beers, including beers from Austria, Australia, Italy,
Belgium, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Spain, England, Scotland, South
America and Germany. Of course, there are dozens of American
specialty brews as well. |

Gran Patrón Platinum
Tequila
(80 proof):
With claims of
being the smoothest sipping tequila ever produced, Gran Patron
Platinum Tequila is created using hand selected Waeber blue agave grown
in the hills of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is pruned, steam baked,
triple distilled and aged to provide a superior taste. Each 750 ml
bottle is a piece of art in itself, handmade from crystal and polished,
hand signed and numbered with an etched label. The bottle is held in a
handmade, collectible level quality curly maple wood box.

Asbach Uralt
You might feel that Asbach
Uralt, "The Great Brandy from the Rhine," is too distinctive a brandy
to be enjoyed any other way than in a snifter. But when you have tried
Asbach Uralt in a coctail you will agree with famous bartenders that it
is a unique and versatile drink indeed.
In Europe, for generations, Asbach Uralt Brandy has been savored and
appreciated by connoisseurs of fine brandies.
LANDY DESIRE
Both glamorous and
modern, this cognac
has extra smooth aromas. The
flavors are rich and complex, from vanilla to prune.

SPRINGBANK
- 21-year old
Springbank, built
around 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still
produces a most distinguished whisky, described as 'Premier Grand Cru
Classé' by the London Sunday Times following a tasting in 1983.
It is one of the most traditional distilleries still in operation. One
of the last remaining independent family-owned and run distilleries,
the original buildings are still being used and
they operate their own malting floor (using organic barley). Even
boatskin larch washbacks are still used daily and they still cut their
own peat. The unique wash still is heated directly by oil-fired steam
coils and they still employ an old fashioned copper 'rummager' to
prevent solids scorching in the base of the still. Springbank operates
3 stills and distill their spirit 3 times (or maybe 2 ½ times as
only the feints of the first distillation are distilled once more).
This, Springbank claims, makes the final product milder
This 21 year-old whisky is
one of Springbank’s flagship’s, next to the 25-year old.
The nose is big and rich
with a uniquely balanced mixture of sherry, peat and salt. No other
whisky has quite the same meld of extreme elements: Springbank manages
to intermingle the fruity/sherry sweetness, with a toasty, malty
dryness, and a salty, seaweedy crispness. Only 2400 bottles produced
world-wide.

Crown Royal - XR
Extremely Smooth
Crown
Royal XR joins the privileged ranks of the world's finest spirits. It
will only be available in extremely limited supply beginning in summer
2006.

Exclusively Available

whiskies at the heart of Crown Royal XR are the sole survivors of
the Waterloo distillery, an enduring symbol of special whiskies were
saved prior to the closing of this longtime Crown Royal distillery
before a devastating fire destroyed everything at the site. Since these
special rare whiskies can never be duplicated, the availability of
Crown Royal XR is extremely limited and will only be released to
retailers once a year.
