Aged in new charred oak barrels, it develops a complex profile with notes of baking spices, vanilla, and a hint of oak. Bottled at a higher proof, it delivers a robust and full-bodied experience. Very limited and hard to get release from Old Forester!
Casg Annamh means ‘rare cask’ in Gaelic, and it’s well named. It’s matured in carefully selected Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts which perfectly complement Aberlour’s distillate flavour, bringing sweet and rich notes.
Made with cider from Aritzia
Exceptional base: Highlighting the unique blend of 80% Arizia Cider and 20% carefully selected white wine, enriched with sugar and ethyl alcohol to achieve an alcohol content of 15% vol, creating an exceptional base for Edabe Vermouth.
Distinctive flavor
The incorporation of approximately 15 botanicals stands out, such as wormwood, calendula, cinnamon and citrus peels, which give the vermouth its characteristic and balanced flavor, highlighting its harmony between sweet, acid and bitter, along with a clean and complex that is truly interesting in each glass.
Limited release from Willett!
Behind false bookshelves and trick doors, parties of lavish extravagance were replete with jazz music and the allure of forbidden spirits. Patrons knew to “speak easy” or softly of their secret watering hole, lest they draw the attention of a prohibition agent. The Noble Experiment failed, but the bold resilience of elegant whiskey drinkers has proven timeless.

After picking up Best American Single Malt at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards, Virginia Distillery Co. is moving quickly into its next round of releases. The distillery is introducing a new cigar-pairing American single malt.
Virginia Distillery Co.’s First Cut Cigar Blend is an American Single Malt crafted to pair beautifully with a fine cigar. It is made from 100% malted barley and aged in an imaginative blend of casks for a minimum of seven years. Aged in Spanish Oak, Sherry, Port, STR, Chateau Palmer Cabernet, Armagnac, Cognac, and Fino casks. A whisper of smoke from Islay casks adds depth and intrigue. Aromas of red berries and leather that deepen into flavors of rich walnut and date cake with candied lemon peel, allspice, and clove, finishing with notes of dark chocolate and a subtle whiff of smoke.
A harmonious blend of 18-year Kentucky whiskey finished in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and Canadian whiskies aged 23 to 25 years finished in Sauternes barrels. Cabernet brings structure and dark-toned warmth, while Sauternes adds a soft, golden richness, together shaping an elegant, sophisticated whiskey with a long, measured finish.
Delicately balancing Kentucky whiskey with Canadian has produced enormous fruity complexity and earthy depth without being drowned out by oak. The finishing casks are subtle and well-integrated, bringing out different characteristics of the distillate. This is a rich and syrupy whiskey that smells of pawpaw and cherry pie and tastes of apricot jam and a Belgian Tripel.

The BCS blending team crafted this release from a collection of 12 to 15-year-old bourbon barrels, chosen for their exceptional maturity, complexity, and balance. Representing years of careful aging, the deep flavors of oak, spice, and caramelized sweetness of each barrel were then artfully blended to create a bourbon harmonizing their unique characteristics. The blend was then given a thoughtful finishing period in slow-toasted American oak casks lending a luxurious depth to this mature bourbon, accentuating its natural sweetness and complexity while preserving its refined structure. The result is a bourbon that showcases the blending team’s mastery: a sophisticated expression that captures the elegance of age, the precision of craft, and the influence of carefully selected oak.
