Made from the finest blue agave plants in Mexico, Clase Azule Reposado Tequila offers a complex and sophisticated flavor. Whether you're looking for a tequila as a present for a loved one or something you can enjoy either by itself or paired with other liquids, check out Clase Azul Reposado Tequila. Every bottle is created in Mexico and inspired by traditional recipes and values. The bottles themselves are a work of art. In fact, they are hand-crafted and painted individually, so no bottle is like any other. While you're sipping your Clase Azul Reposado Tequila, you'll enjoy the scents of spice, cream soda, caramel and agave. The flavors of this tequila include apple cider, jasmine, cinnamon and honey. To start, agave plants are harvested in the Jalisco Highlands, then slowly cooked. The hearts of the agave plant are put in brick ovens and steamed to bring out the sugars. After this, the plants are crushed and fermented. Using a unique distillation process, only the very purest of the liquid is chosen. This tequila is then aged in previously used American oak barrels for eight months. This helps ensure that the flavor is perfect in every case.

The sixth and final release in The Macallan Edition series, Edition No. 6 takes its inspiration from the natural wonders of the legendary River Spey and The Macallan Estate. The whisky experience opens with aromas of fresh fruit, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, vanilla and oak. On the palate, notes of plum and sweet orange with cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee, and oats. The finish is long with fresh fruit and spices turning to creamy chocolate and toasted oats.

Persistent mousse, with fine bubbles rising slowly. Pale salmon pink in color, with a shade of gold. A nose of red fruits and fresh pear. Delicate fruit on the palate, elegant, and showing great finesse.

Stately and charismatic, this now 30-year-old flagship vineyard delivers once again with generosity and sophistication. A deep potpourri of candied cherry, Asian spices and incense lift gracefully from the glass. Silky, with notions of blue and red fruits, fresh fennel, and juicy cranberry, the wine is supported with a depth of composed tannins that deliver a remarkably grand, mouthwatering finish. There is a level of tension at its core, indicating nearly timeless potential for cellaring.

Brunello di Montalcino was Italy`s first wine to be accorded D.O.C.G. status, a testament to its aristocracy, balance and fabulous proclivity for aging. Under the direction of Banfi`s master winemakers, our Sangiovese grapes are transformed into a remarkable world-class wine, perhaps the most respected red of Italy. Aged for a total of up to four years, including a minimum of two years in oak barrels, Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of robust character. It possesses a rich garnet color, and a depth, complexity and opulence that is softened by an elegant, lingering aftertaste. Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino`s regal qualities are best exhibited with game, red meats, roasts, hearty stews and rich powerful cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.

The Iconic Napa Valley red, Quintessa is a Cabernet Sauvignon blend from estate vineyards in the heart of the Rutherford Bench district. The estate is farmed using organic and biodynamic techniques, and each year they make a deeper connection between the soils and the terroir, interpreting the property holistically.

The wine is a blend that can include some or all of the five varietals grown on the estate: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. Fruit from each component block of Quintessa is harvested, sorted, then gravity fed into either oak or stainless steel fermentation tanks. Once fermentation and maceration are complete, each block of wine is aged separately for up to two years in French oak barrels. After aging, the components are brought together and the final blend is created.

This 2018 is the latest release. It's a blend of  92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Carmenere and 1% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 62% new French oak barrels.

James Suckling scored this 99 points saying "This is beautifully polished with firm, dusty tannins to the blue fruit, as well as chocolate and cedar character. Some much earthier character, too, from mushrooms to bark. Forest flowers. Perfumed. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a soft, creamy finish. Some iron and iodine to this. So attractive at the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes."

Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 98 points saying "This is an exceptional vintage of this exceptional wine, its foundation built around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, with dustings of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Beautiful in berry fruit, textured and refined tannin and hints of lavender, licorice and sage, it has complexity and energy in equal measure, lengthy and beautifully focused, a truly impressive achievement of site, vintage and winemaker."

 

 

The 2017 Pinot Noir Central Coast comes from multiple vineyards throughout the Central Coast and has a touch of the elegance and purity found in the top cuvées. Impressive black raspberry fruits, white flowers, spice, and a subtle salty minerality all emerge from the glass, and it’s beautifully textured, balanced, and just a joy to drink. It’s well worth its going rate and should be snatched up by readers. – 93pts, Jeb Dunnuck

Aged 10 months in 10% new French oak, the 2017 Pinot Noir Central Coast has a pale to medium ruby color and open, inviting aromas of wild blackberries, oolong tea leaves, dried cranberries and cherries with touches of underbrush, charcuterie, dried flowers and earth. The palate is light to medium-bodied with a firm, finely grained frame and earth-laced fruits, finishing with lovely freshness and spice. – 92pts, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

Far Niente Winery is located in Oakville, an area famous for Napa Valley Cabernet, and home to our estate Martin Stelling Vineyard from which we’ve been producing our Cabernets since 1982. The abundant 2012 vintage is approachable, even in its youth, with bold, ripe, fruit and mouth-filling tannins typical of the Far Niente house style. After several cool and challenging growing seasons, the weather in 2012 was nearly perfect. March brought heavy spring rains, sustaining the vines through the season. Temperatures were ideal for budbreak, flowering and fruit set, and the summer months brought warm days and cool nights without extreme weather events. These conditions allowed the vines to establish a large, but balanced crop, which steadily ripened until our Cabernet harvest began in early October. Mother Nature held back on her fall rains, enabling us to bring in each block at optimal ripeness before the end of the month. The 2012 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of mixed berry fruit, boysenberry, chocolate covered cherries, layered with hints of graphite and toasted oak. On the palate, a smooth entry is followed by intense, ripe berry notes. This wine is focused and silky through the midpalate, building to a finish with broad tannins and notes of cedar and toasted oak.

Angel’s Envy Rye Finished in Plantation XO Rum Casks is released just twice each year in the autumn and spring. The rum casks were previously used to age French cognac, which adds an additional layer of complexity on the palate. It’s a collision of bold flavors as the raw, spicy rye mingles with the mellow sweetness of the rum, culminating in a uniquely delicious spirit.

The 2011 Lassègue has a brilliant glowing ruby color, and in a vintage considered austere, it is full, with notes of ripe blackberries and a lifted intricate aromatic bouquet of fresh violet, sage and mint. On display are classic Bordeaux aromas of leather, baking spices and graphite.

A polished wine, it yet possesses a wild, herbal quality, almost a garrigue. It is reminiscent of herbs grown on the side of rocks, and a forest floor just after rain. Grown in limestone soils, the Cabernet Franc elevates the blend with surprising, soft notes of rose petals and wild strawberries. From the Merlot comes the expansive texture and rich but subtle mineral overtones, invoking the sandy clay soils in which the varietal achieves its most refined expression. There is a velvety softness to the wine, the silky tannins move in crescendo towards a pressingly long finish. The wine will age magnificently for decades to come.

Exceptional density and composure, with brilliant focus, are hallmarks of the 2017 vintage. With a vibrant array of dark fruits and intriguing spices, Signature Cabernet Sauvignon unfolds with layer upon layer of juicy blackberry, wild blueberry, cedar and lead pencil with savory notes of cured bacon, sage and star anise. Texturally complex, with plenty of poignancy and largesse, 2017 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine to reward the most patient of collectors. 

Cristal is a remarkably balanced and refined champagne whose length is inimitable. It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes. Cristal is a wine that keeps well: it can be conserved for over twenty years without losing its freshness and character.

Often called ‘Baby Grange’ in the world of Penfolds fans, the components of Bin 389 are matured in the same barrels that previously held Grange in their oaken embrace. The nose is lifted, fragrant, and immediately identifiable as classic Penfolds with layers of custard and port-wine dark jelly over hints of coconut and juniper. The palate is a balance of sweet and savory with the 2019 black forest cake profile and black cherry liqueur. It’s substantial and intense, but already delicious.

Ron Zacapa XO Rum is produced in the highlands of Guatemala where it is distillled from fresh cane juice. The rum is then aged from 6 to 23 years at 7544 feet above sea level at 62 °F (17 °C) using the solera process. The solera aging process incorporates barrels that previously held American whiskeys, sherries, wines and Cognac

The unique Ron Zacapa XO glass decantur features an impression of a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle

This ultra-premium tequila is the crown jewel of Clase Azul's lineup. Aged 5 years in Spanish ex-sherry casks, it's bottled in a luxurious handcrafted decanter with 3 precious metals: platinum, silver, and gold.

Chairman's Legacy is a blend of rums that honor the contribution of Laurie Barnard to the creation of Chairman's Reserve and showcases the art of blending, which was central to his philosophy. The blend contains rums from two of their pot stills as well as the coffey column still. In addition to molasses based rums, the blend is freshened and balanced by the addition of sugarcane rum made entirely on the estate in Roseau. The resulting blend is the embodiment of the vision that Laurie Barnard had for St. Lucia Distillers. 

On the nose, there is sweet raisin and butterscotch alongside tobacco, vanilla, and a subtle grassy scent from the sugarcane rum. A rich hedonistic delight on the palate, with highlights of creme brulee, sultanas, vanilla, and candied ginger. The finish is lingering and complex. Bottled at 43% abv without any added sugar or flavorings.  

All the single malt and grain whiskies used in the blend were distilled in 1971, before undergoing a three-part maturation process.

According to The Last Drop, the whisky ‘has all the hallmarks of the 1970s/80s blending style, with a classic, old-fashioned smokiness’.

First blended in 1983 as a 12-year-old, the whisky left over after bottling was refilled into 11 ex-oloroso Sherry butts to age for a further nine years, when a small amount was removed for bottling as a 21-year-old blend.

The rest of the whisky then went into nine oak barrels and was left in a traditional dunnage warehouse for a further 24 years, before the casks were acquired by The Last Drop towards the end of their maturation period.

The blend, which combines more than 40 different single malt and grain whiskies, was bottled at 47.2% abv in June 2017.

Each bottle is sealed by hand with a driven cork dipped in boiling wax, and comes in a green leather case which also contains a 50ml miniature, a certificate of authenticity, a leather-bound tasting booklet and a stopper to reseal the bottle.

Only 1,352 bottles of the 1971 vintage blend are available, and UK stockists can be found on the Last Drop website.

The Last Drop Distillers, founded by drinks industry veterans James Espey and Tom Jago, was acquired by American spirits group Sazerac in September last year.

Since its founding in 1765, Hennessy has been guided by a passion to craft the world’s finest Cognacs - our drive to Never Stop. Never Settle. Hennessy Cognac is crafted with a strict set of standards defined by the Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and handed down from generation to generation. However, when it comes to enjoying Cognac, we haven’t followed any rules since 1765. Created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy for his circle of close friends, Hennessy X.O was the first “Extra Old” Cognac ever invented and established the category. In 1947, Gérald de Geoffre designed the first Hennessy X.O decanter, whose distinctive form is still familiar to us today. Its silhouette is a tribute to the pyramid-like forms of the grape bunches that give birth to the Cognac eaux-de-vie. Hennessy X.O's intense and deep amber color is a sign of its strength. Its flavors of candied fruit and its subtle and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony: a mark of its power and roundness. To taste, a smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm, fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac’s blending and its long ageing process.

The palate expresses a perfect balance of elegance and texture. The structure conveys a wine that could age for a century, but with the polished tannins and freshness that make it enjoyable today. It is a wine full of harmony and a unique, almost mysterious quality. Martha's Vineyard is a true Napa Valley icon.

Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is synonymous with the art of living. The House style distinguishes itself through the dominance of Pinot Noir which gives strength, complexity and elegance to our wines. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature champagne of the House. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it offers a perfect balance of structure and finesse. The House’s signature Yellow Label is immediately pleasing on the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla. Yellow Label offers a perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness

The 2015 has dark purple/red color and layered, earthy aromas of cassis, dark cherry, chocolate, and hints of toasty oak and vanilla. This is a silky wine with flavors of cassis, chocolate, cherry, and blackberry. The 2015 CYRUS has elegant texture, excellent balance and a long structured finish. As this wine sits in the glass it just keeps building on itself, hinting at the complexity that will occur with additional cellar aging.

Our 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby in color with notes of blackberry, blueberry, roasted coffee beans, coriander and a hint of nutmeg. Smooth upon entry, this wine is broad and plush on the mid-palate. It has an elegant density throughout and a long, generous finish. Given proper cellaring conditions, this wine will show beautifully through 2041.

Volcanic Hill is from the parcel containing rich, volcanic ash soil. It produces fruit with vibrant aromas and bursts of concentrated berries. Wine Advocate notes, “It’s medium to full-body and delivers fantastic purity and depth, offering firm, grainy tannin's to support the bags of earth-laced black fruits, finishing long and mineral-laced.
