Biné Gavi Riserva Vigna Gambarotta (2020)

A special release from Tequila Ocho in collaboration with Heaven Hill, makers of Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. "Old Fitz" is a highly sought after, limited release Bourbon that is prized for the sweeter and softer flavor profile provided by the inclusion of wheat in the mashbill.

This Añejo is aged for 1 year and 1 day in barrels that had previously held the 10 year, 2023 release of Old Fitz.

Tequila Ocho produces Single Estate bottlings where all of the agaves for each batch they produce are harvested from the same field or rancho. The idea is show how the terroir of individual sites is expressed in each batch that is produced. They are focused on the expressiveness of the agaves so their aged bottlings are kept in barrel for the absolute minimum amount of time allowed by law for each category. Their releases are vintage dated and list the name of the site where the agaves came from. Although there is flavor variation from batch to batch (as is the point), they are always well made and highly representative of the Highlands of Jalisco where all of their sites are located.

Open and expressive on the nose, with notes of wild hedgerow fruits, crushed rose petals and sun-warmed red cherry.
The palate is finely tuned, with silky tannins and a pure dart of acidity framing and balancing out a core of summer berries, soft spices and a touch of biscuity vanilla. Long on the finish, this wine evokes warm summer evenings, strawberries nestled under shaded leaves and the lingering scent of barbecue smoke.

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to take when you don’t know what’s for dinner. Versatile and food-friendly, it has a signature silky elegance. A benchmark Marlborough wine, Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is proof that Marlborough’s climate and clay soils make it much more than a one-grape region.

Old Carter American Whiskey - Batch 14 (134.3pf)

Don Julio Anejo Tequila is a testament to the craft of making a superior tasting, aged tequila. Rich, distinctive and wonderfully complex, its flavor strikes the perfect balance between agave and hints of butterscotch and honey.

2024 Release

AMASS Vodka with Marigold, Chamomile, and Lemon celebrates Nordic distilling tradition and the rich, vibrant history of Scandinavian drinking culture. Inspired by the region's long-standing spirit tradition, Master Distiller Morgan McLachlan worked with craft distillers in Copenhagen to develop the liquid before moving production to Central California.

There, the process begins with our botanicals, which are meticulously distilled to create a heart with subtle layers of flowers folded around fresh, hand-grated citrus. The result is a glycerin-free spirit that uses marigold petals in place of additives to create an elegant spirit with a smooth mouthfeel, suited for a variety of cocktails and seasons.
