A flavourful and intriguingly complex whisky with a deep golden natural colour from the cask. Finely balancing aromatic warmth with zingy citrus notes, Highland Park 15 is all about lively contrasts—just like life here in Orkney. 

The 2022 Sonoma Coast vintage delivered exceptional quality despite significant challenges, beginning with beneficial winter rains following 2021's drought and elevated early-season temperatures. A predominantly cool summer was disrupted by an unprecedented Labor Day heat surge, accelerating harvest and further reducing already diminished yields from spring frost. Compact berries and clusters produced wines of remarkable concentration and depth. Our meticulous approach emphasized night harvesting, careful cluster selection for whole-cluster fermentation, and gentle processing via optical sorting and gravity-flow techniques. The vintage ultimately delivered wines of extraordinary quality despite limited volumes, demonstrating the resilience of Sonoma Coast vineyards through a season of climatic extremes.

100% Pinot Noir 38% Quarter Moon West Sonoma Coast AVA 37% Pastorale — Sonoma Coast AVA 25% Trusted Grower fruit The wine was aged for ten months in 33% new French oak and 67% one-to-three year-old French oak barrels before bottling.

Vibrant red fruits define the nose with fresh cherry and pomegranate seeds at the forefront, complemented by hints of nutmeg and cardamom adding nuanced complexity, while bright raspberry notes provide depth and richness.

Crafted at Japan’s oldest distillery, Yamazaki is the pioneer of single malt Japanese whisky. A defining element of its character is Mizunara, the rare Japanese oak known for its complexity. Essential to Yamazaki’s core expressions, Mizunara casks shape the whisky’s multi-layered profile with notes of sandalwood, coconut and incense. Though difficult to work with, this mystical wood rewards patience and skill. After more than 18 years of maturation, the true essence of Mizunara is revealed in a whisky that is rich, deep and unmistakably Yamazaki.

The result is an approximately 134-proof cask strength release with a total batch size of 4,725 bottles.

The nose is aromatic and appealing with coastal notes, dunnage earth, peat smoke, peppercorns, pickle juice, and oyster shells. Sweet flavors of honey and fudge yield to a spicy intensity that’s quite hot to handle, but as the pepper and saltiness subside, there’s residual notes of vanilla fudge, sweet American oak, and classic Talisker pepperiness lasting long into the finish.

The US Edition 2024 is an exciting new single malt whisky made by the Chichibu Distillery exclusively for the United States. With every year comes a wildly different version of this whisky than its predecessor and the 2024 is no different. This unpeated single malt is vatted from 16 distinct barrels ranging from 4 to 10 years of age that were matured in 15 ex-bourbon and 1 refilled sherry hogshead barrel. Two of the ex-bourbon barrels contained whisky that was floor malted at Chichibu, a practice that is uncommon even amongst many Scottish contemporaries for its laborious, less efficient nature. However, this process is nothing less than iconic to Chichibu, as this whisky exemplifies what the distillery does best - create layers of complex fruit, spice, and confectionary flavors that come together harmoniously in one beautiful expression.

Mature in age and truly exceptional in quality, Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon has earned its place as an enduring favorite of the most discerning whiskey connoisseurs. The “Best American Whiskey” according to Food & Wine magazine, our 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon represents the culmination of over a decade of patient aging in our specially chosen, new charred American white oak barrels. Sweet and grainy: corn bread slathered in honey, johnnycakes with cherry jam. Fizzy cream soda mixed with a bit of varnish segues into warm leather and a hint of summer-warmed dry grass, which is amplified with water. This is a very well-integrated whiskey with a lovely balance between creamy and spicy. There’s a full, rich, toffee sweetness throughout, balancing the earthy, humus-like bass notes in the mid palate. The finish is also very reminiscent of soda pop, almost giving the impression of carbonation, with a lingering muted spiciness.

La Grande Dame 2015 is an exceptional sunny vintage for a wine full of tension and elegance. It reveals this great wine’s verticality thanks to the Pinot Noirs harvested from our historical Grands Crus.

As Madame Clicquot used to say 200 years ago, “Our black grapes give the finest white wines” an affirmation that still rings true. Beloved for its versatility, the Pinot Noir grape expresses itself differently according to its growing conditions and the year in which it is harvested.

As a fine blend of Veuve Clicquot’s historical Grands Crus, La Grande Dame is the pinnacle of the Maison’s oenological prowess, with an immense ageing potential.

Held up to the light, La Grande Dame 2015 reveals a beautiful, golden robe that sparkles brightly. This solar vintage, while elegant and precise, offers fresh minerality with light floral notes of jasmine and acacia on the nose, which evolve into fruity notes of pear and clementine. As for the first sip, it envelops the palate with a delightfully subtle, silky texture.

Note: Color of the box may vary.

100 proof
700ml

Created by Elmer T. Lee, the iconic master distiller of the Ancient Age distillery (renamed Buffalo Trace in 1999), the first single barrel bourbon celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year. It pays tribute to Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, who managed the distillery from 1912 to 1952 and notably advocated for the abandonment of the barrel rotation system in the warehouses. This remarkably elegant and smooth single barrel is particularly expressive and offers a constant stream of incredibly pure fruity, spicy and cereal flavours and aromas. Never short of things to say, the tasting reveals unexpected notes of blackcurrant bud on the retro-nasal olfaction.

PRODUCER'S NOTES: "Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full bodied whiskey has been described by some as 'nectar.' We agree! The 12 years of aging and medium proof of 90.4 seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep."
