The smokiest Ardbeg ever to mature into existence.

Introducing the latest Committee-only bottling in the Supernova Series… Ardbeg Hypernova. A dimension beyond the Supernovas that came before it, this fabric-tearingly smoky dram is a slice of Ardbeg history not to be missed.

Possibly the smokiest dram in the world (this one at least), Hypernova possesses a malty magnitude never before experienced. This is a brutally smoky dram that radiates flavour in every direction. HN22 can only be categorised as a truly cataclysmic event for the Distillery. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s pulling palates into a whole new dimension.

Propel your palate at full force towards powerful notes of tar, creosote and soot. Tumble further into the glass and explore ethereal whispers of aniseed, smoke and dark chocolate. Bitter almonds and smoked lavender fuse with curious hints of plasticine and burnt rubber, with a finish that collapses in on itself.

Non chill-filtered at 51.0% ABV.

When the Mitchell family began bonding whiskey 135 years ago, they brought their own colourful legacy to the Dublin whiskey scene. After generations of a family business covering everything from confectionery to cafes to imported wines, when the Mitchells brought their eclectic energy to whiskey bonding, the Spot family was born. To celebrate this enduring relationship, we created our most vibrant Spot release to date – Gold Spot.

Gold Spot
Gold Spot is matured for at least nine years in Bourbon Barrels, Sherry Butts, Bordeaux Wine Casks and Port Pipes. Non chill filtered and bottled at 51.4% ABV for a whiskey that is complex and full flavoured.

Nose
A light mix of pineapple, kiwi, green banana and lime zest followed by Pot Still spices, baked apple, hazelnut and toasted wood.

Taste
A smooth mouthfeel with a subtle mix of fruit, a hint of clove and cracked black pepper corns. Sweet spices, vanilla and cinnamon add to the wood’s nutty contribution.

Finish
A lasting and distinctly palatable balance of exotic fruits and spices.

Willett Family Estate 9 Year Rye ("Justify the Means")

The 2017 Dom Pérignon is so impressive. A sort of mini-2002, the 2017 is a Champagne of textural richness and resonance above all else. Its creamy, voluptuous contours are so inviting. Production for the 2017 is tiny, about a three-month supply, so this wine will come and go pretty quickly. That represents a fairly dramatic shift in philosophy at Dom Pérignon. In the past, a wine like the 2017 would not have been commercially viable because of its small volume. Today, Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon prefers to bottle Dom Pérignon in every vintage, if possible, as a document of the year, even if that means some releases will be very small. The 2017 is a wild, exotic Dom Pérignon.

I.W. Harper Gold Medal Kentucky Straight Bourbon (1970s Edition)

Step back into the 1970s, a decade where the "Gold Medal" wasn't just a label, but a standard. This vintage bottling of I.W. Harper 86 Proof Bourbon represents a rare opportunity to taste Kentucky history in its most elegant form. Distilled during an era when I.W. Harper was a global icon of sophistication, this "dusty" bottle offers a flavor profile that modern automated distilling simply cannot replicate.

The Vintage Profile: Deep, Dark, and Decadent

Whiskey from this era is celebrated for its "old-school" concentration. Because these barrels were often aged longer than their labels suggested due to the "bourbon glut" of the 70s, the liquid is remarkably dense and honeyed.

• Nose: An immediate wave of antique oak and "dusty" warehouse funk. It opens into rich butterscotch, dried apricots, and a distinct note of beeswax and old leather.

• Palate: Silky and medium-bodied. At 86 proof, it is incredibly approachable, yet surprisingly complex. Expect layers of clover honey, Werther’s Original caramels, and a soft, floral rye spice, fruity jam sweetness that has mellowed beautifully over five decades.

• Finish: Clean and warming. A gentle fade of sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, and a lingering touch of charred oak that reminds you of its storied Kentucky heritage.

Why the 1970s Bottling?

For the serious enthusiast, 1970s I.W. Harper is a cornerstone of any vintage collection. This was the era of the Bernheim Distillery influence, characterized by a refined, corn-forward sweetness that made Harper the "Gold Medal" standard worldwide. Whether you are celebrating a 50th anniversary or seeking the elusive "dusty" flavor profile, this bottle is a liquid landmark.

Product Details:

• Era: Circa 1970s

• Proof: 86 Proof (43% ABV)

• Type: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

• Distillery: I.W. Harper (Bernheim/Schenley Era)

• Condition: Authenticated Vintage (Bottle/Label condition as pictured)

Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon 129.3 Batch 8

Ten years ago, before rye whiskey's present-day popularity, Eddie Russell hand-selected and laid down what would eventually become Master's Keep Triumph. Inspired by the affinity that his son, Associate Blender Bruce Russell, has for rye, Eddie began exploring the possibilities offered by the spicy and bold style of whiskey. After a decline in popularity post-prohibition, many distillers pulled the spirit from shelves while Wild Turkey held true to its convictions and continued to produce top-quality rye with mainstay products like Wild Turkey 101 Rye. The name Triumph speaks to the contemporary revival of rye whiskey, now recognized for its quality and distinctive profile, and to Wild Turkey's reverence for all the spirit has to offer.

"The Master's Keep series continues to be a display of our creativity and quality at Wild Turkey. We've always seen the collection as a vehicle to tell stories that celebrate our heritage and who we are as a distillery," says Wild Turkey's Master Distiller Eddie Russell. "This particular release was inspired by Bruce's fondness for rye and is a nod to his influence on my work. Triumph is a rye you'll be proud to serve neat and is a testament to the tenacity of the spirit."

The Master's Keep series first started in 2015 as a way for Master Distiller Eddie Russell to showcase his unique approach to making bourbon. Triumph is the second rye whiskey to be released within the series, following Master's Keep Cornerstone in 2019. Building upon the high standard set by Cornerstone and fan favorites Wild Turkey 101 Rye and Rare Breed Rye, Triumph serves as an evolution of the distillery's rye craftsmanship while proudly donning the oldest age statement ever for a Wild Turkey rye.

Master's Keep Triumph's extended maturation helped to develop a complex and bold flavor profile that's consistent with the high quality that fans have come to expect from the Master's Keep collection. The 104-proof expression features sweet honey and clove notes that transition to dark chocolate, dates and spice with a rich mocha-coffee and black pepper finish. While conventional ryes are enjoyed by many in cocktails, Master's Keep Triumph gives reason to enjoy rye on the rocks or neat.

This 1961 Crown Royal from the Seagram's Distillery offers silky Canadian whisky character with soft vanilla, gentle spice, and nostalgic charm.

Pays tribute to two of founding distiller Booker Noe's favorite things - whiskey and music.
