Ardbeg 22 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
The latest release in the Ardbeg Twenty Something series, this superb 22 Year Old pays tribute to the whisky enthusiasts of yesteryear.
This whisky was born during a time when the iconic Ardbeg Distillery name was almost consigned to the history books. During a period of uncertainty for Ardbeg in the 1980s and 1990s, when the stills were near empty and the filling store silent, a handful of young whisky enthusiasts dared to dream. Together, with hope in their hearts, they laid down a handful of casks and kept the Ardbeg spirit alive.
On the nose, luscious tropical fruits fade into sweet smoke, soot and tar. Take a sip and discover fresh green apples with a crumble topping. Notes of peppermint tea and vanilla guide you towards a long smoky finish.
ABV: 46.4%

Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
Bottled in 2015 - 2,976 bottles produced
Appearance: A deep yellow gold with exceptional beading.
Nose: Cautious, yet welcoming: a smoky fresh-lit fire, giving way to candle-wax and herbs. Soft sultana cake become malty, with toasted coconut, honey, lemon zest and subtle wood smoke.
Body: Medium to rich, soft.
Palate: Powerful at cask strength – syrup-smooth, with the sweetness of dark chocolate truffles to start, then spicy, mouth-drying and faintly charred, with hints of wood smoke and ripe, red berries.

Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
Clase Azul Reposado is an ultra-premium, reposado tequila made with Tequilana Weber Blue Agave that is slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens for a minimum of 72 hours. Once the agave reaches a deep, rich flavor, it is fermented with proprietary yeast prior to distillation. Once the tequila is distilled, it is aged for 8 months in hand-select oak barrels. The result is a superb, smooth taste, which exceeds expectations with each sip.

a special release of only 28,000 bottles – we celebrate autumn and winter on Orkney; a time to escape from the wild weather outside and gather together with friends and family, sharing long nights of conversation and laughter around the table, around the fire.
Presented in a beautifully embossed black glass bottle, the serpent dragon design takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of summer solstice and the low sun of winter solstice – the polar opposites of our island seasons – while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors, here on Orkney.

J.W. Rutledge Cream of Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 11.5yr
Reminder: We can only ship spirits within California at this time.
The Cream of Kentucky brand was originally introduced in 1888 by I. Trager & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Just prior to the end of Prohibition, the brand was acquired by the famed Schenley Company and subsequently re-introduced in 1934. Through the 1930s and 1940s Cream of Kentucky grew to become one of the leading bourbon brands, with renowned artist Norman Rockwell provided much of the award winning artwork for the brand during its heyday. Cream of Kentucky is now owned by J.W. Rutledge, and Jim has recently purchased a limited supply of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey he feels is worthy of the rebirth of Cream of Kentucky Bourbon as a premium whiskey.

Samaroli Barbados Rum 2000
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
Clear, focused, powerful and mysterious. We might say almost in prayer. Rich aromas of almond, sweet sticky pudding, biscuit, marzipan... a rum baba! Tones of citrus, fresh limoncello on an Amalfi balcony, overlooking the gulf... Sorry, I’m getting off topic. The taste propels us forwards, into the separate pages of a book, a whole world for every molecule. An extensive, long lasting range of sensations, beginning with a tasty and intense minerality, exploring every descriptive category. Fruity: banana, pineapple; Spices: star anise, cinnamon. Floral: lime, honey. Mineral: saltiness. Mysterious, enigmatic, indecipherable, magnetic, serious and powerful. A monk absorbed in his spiritual exercises...

Samaroli by Samaroli 2009 Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
....for the third consecutive bottling we are delighted to announce the arrival of a baby brother for our blends. A little 8-year-old that's implacably curious and headstrong. By now we have our own indelible trademark which, even with this new release, offers a very clean, clear nose. The unripe bouquet has scents and tones of fresh grass and meadow flowers. In the glass, aromas of straw, hay and freshly ground cereals. Like all youngsters, it has no patience, thus the elegant tones of bergamot, sesame and mint, but also spicy and medicinal notes vie immediately for dominance, leaving us somewhat seduced and abandoned as we savour the spicy aftertaste with ginger and mothballs muscling in. That mix of excitement and fear in the pit of your belly when you leave home on your first solo journey… the particular feeling of those setting off to explore who knows what, who knows where? Of those sailing towards love, perhaps? Of those who have lost everything buying and selling? Or of those who leaving or fleeing for or from heaven-knows-which war…
"Born into the world like rabbits… set off for the world as soldiers and yet to return…."

Samaroli Caribbean Rum 1998
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
Tradition has it that rum originated on the Island of Barbados; a 1651 document from Barbados stated that " ... the chief fuddling island is Rumbullion, also called Kill- Divil (kill - devil ), made from distilled sugar cane ... a hot, hellish and terrible liquor ... Here in 1702 was installed the oldest Rum distillery in the world : Mount Gay. Barbados has a Rum culture that greatly reflects the character of the population; compared to all the other Caribbean countries , where people have a "instinctive" relationship with the Rum, here Rum has admirers very experienced and therefore is well known and evaluated . It has a unique style. It is considered the archetype to be taken as a reference point. A great classic of Samaroli : in barrel since 1986 bottled in 2003 , after 12 years and today we collect the result of our experience our courage.Soft, smooth, sweet, irresistible, full and lush. Hints of dried fruit, hazelnut, walnut, acacia flowers, bitter almond, catapult us with imagination in the Homeric Mediterranean novel. Childhood memories that we find on the palate where a balance of sweet, fascinate us. It seems to grab, drink, the essence of our own roots.

Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
How intriguing, and fascinating to see the impact of the production process itself. How wonderful to discover the various states of evolution that Guyana rums go through before they reach the extensive aging phase. Three little brothers of the late nineties and the beginning of the new millennium. More precisely 1998, 2001 and 2002, will keep us company this year. An exciting opportunity for you, our valued customers, to see just how much the product changes in the barrel. Of course, the scents and flavors are similar, since they come from the same stock, you’ll enjoy seeing how their characteristics evolve. Here we are sampling the youngest. A pungent and unusual bouquet of thyme, juniper, tobacco, shiny leather. Perhaps reminiscent of an antique shop, in the mouth it’s agile, racey and aggressive - characteristic of its youth - and sweet, buttery scents alternate with toasted wood and hints of a slightly acerbic tannin.

Samaroli Guadeloupe Rhum 1998
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California at this time.
Our annual flying visit to the French overseas territories. Known as the Island of Beautiful Waters in pre-Columbian times, this small strip of land nestled in the Atlantic first attracted the Spanish, the French, the English... then for a period was even promised to Sweden. This chaotic past is evident in its rums, which are less Caribbean in nature, more European. Elegant, mellow, with a blue soul, a little pained. Like a proud lament, the bouquet permeates initially, with tones of chocolate, black cherry, almond and dried fruit. Of course pausing for a moment triggers other scents, maple syrup, berries and menthol. The enveloping palate brings hints of balsamic, but the prevailing sensation is one of tobacco, vanilla and licorice. Full of rhythm. A spirit of which we will never tire; complex and satisfying, it stimulates our imagination and provokes our curiosity.
