SPIRITS
Tattersall Straight Rye Whiskey
"Big, bold and spicy. This is a Monongahela-style whiskey distilled from 100% rye. Perfect for rye purists, it’s aged for at least two years in charred white oak sourced and coopered in Minnesota. Think of it as Bourbon’s bolder cousin. Enjoy it neat or in classics like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan." - Tattersall Distilling
Tattersall Stargrazer Malt Whiskey
Aged at 120 Proof in Charred Virgin American Oak Barrels
"We partnered with our neighbors at Bauhaus Brewlabs and created a whiskey based off of their Stargrazer beer, a German Style Schwarzbier. We take the base grains of the Stargrazer beer, create a malt whiskey, and then add the hops in afterwards to replicate the finished beer. The maltiness of the Stargrazer shines through in the unaged whiskey." - Tattersall Distilling
Jos. A. Magnus & Co. Vigilant Gin
The creator of our staff's new favorite bourbon set out to make the perfect cocktail gin. Vigilant Gin is the good looking new kid on the block in the gin world. This London-style dry gin showcases Oregon juniper berries, fresh herbs, and bright citrus (featuring oro blanco grapefruit & bergamot orange). It has good palate weight and roundness with a complex finish. Distilled in Washington, DC, it's worthy of a spot at your bar for the packaging alone, but makes fantastic a gin cocktail as well.
WINE
La Rioja Alta "Vina Alberdi" Rioja Reserva 2011, Spain, $23.99
"
A classic and tightly knit Rioja with dried berry, spice and cedar character on the nose and palate. Medium body, very fine tannins and a flavorful finish. Acidity carries the wine and then the tannins. Gorgeous." 94pts James Suckling
Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Napa, CA, $84.99
This has become harder and harder to get as the winery insists that this iconic Cab is sold almost exclusively to restaurants. If you've got a vertical you're trying to maintain, it would be better to act sooner than later.
Cantina Terlano "Terlaner Classico" 2016, Alto Adige, Italy, $34.99
"A delightful blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. This wine really delivers the goods with a clean and buoyant bouquet followed by beautifully polished aromas of stone fruit, dried sage, passion fruit and a touch of piquant white peppercorn. The effect is super snappy and zesty, and the wine awakens your taste buds in a cheerful and direct manner. This vintage really stands apart for its excellence. This is a fantastic wine at an honest price." 92pts Wine Advocate
Masi "Costaserra" Amarone della Valpolicella 2011, Veneto, Italy, $59.99
"
This shows ripe sweet cherries with spices and cigar box. Full with lots of juicy fruit but wonderful precision and linearity. Incredible balance. Drink now or hold." 94pts James Suckling
