Knob Creek 9 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375 mL
Warm vanilla, caramel and a touch of smoky oak lead a bold, full-flavoured profile. Toasted oak, brown sugar and roasted nuts build through the palate, with toasted corn and rye spice keeping the sweetness structured. The finish is long, warming and firmly oak-driven. Enjoy neat or over a large cube, or use in an Old Fashioned where its caramel depth and spice can remain clear alongside sugar and bitters.
The Irony Spirits Cranberry Euphoria Semi-Sweet Liqueur 375 mL
Bright cranberry brings tart red-fruit freshness to a smooth, semi-sweet palate. A hint of rosemary adds a savoury herbal lift, giving the berry character more definition and keeping the finish from becoming heavy. The texture is rounded but lively, with a clean balance between fruit, sweetness and gentle botanical detail. Serve well chilled after dinner, pour over ice, or add a small measure to sparkling wine for a crisp aperitif.
Verrier & Fils Tradition Brut NV Champagne 375 mL
Citrus, white flowers and fresh apple open over almond, cherry and a light pastry note.

A useful half bottle for two glasses, especially with oysters, gougeres or mild washed-rind cheese.
Wildflower Distilling Co. Limoncello 375 mL
Hand-peeled lemons give this liqueur a bright, direct citrus character, with fragrant peel oils and fresh lemon flavour at the centre.

Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to sharpen a spritz or citrus cocktail.
The Irony Spirits The Booster Shot Serrano Pepper Spirit 375 mL
Serrano pepper gives this semi-dry aperitif a vivid, warming bite, balanced by the sweeter character of red bell pepper.

Serve slightly chilled with pâté, blue cheese, glazed duck or a dark chocolate dessert.
Jean Vesselle NV Extra Brut Champagne 375 mL
Fresh and powerful on the nose, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus and a restrained floral lift.

Very low dosage leaves the finish clean, brisk and emphatically dry, while the fruit remains generous. A polished half-bottle for an aperitif, sushi, oysters or other simply prepared raw fish.
Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut NV Champagne 375 mL
Black cherry, green apple and peach sit over chalk and a subtle lift of mint. Smooth and delicate on the palate, it balances rich fruit with a brisk, mouthwateringly dry line and a creamy bead.

Veuve Clicquot NV Yellow Label Brut Champagne 375 mL
Pear, apple and peach lead the aromatic profile, followed by lemon zest, buttered toast and brioche.

Clean and persistent through the finish, this polished half-bottle is ideal for an aperitif, shellfish, smoked salmon or gougères.
Clear Creek Mirabelle Plum Brandy 375 mL
Ripe plum and floral apricot rise first, followed by pear and a faint note of raw sugar as the spirit settles in the glass. The palate keeps plum at the centre, with a clean, medium-weight texture and measured warmth. Its fruit gradually turns drier toward apricot skin. The finish is crisp and lightly fruity, leaving delicate orchard tones rather than sweetness.
Kings County Distillery Moonshine 375 mL
Bright and grain-led, with sweet corn at the centre and a clean malted-barley edge. The unaged style keeps the spirit vivid and direct, while careful distillation gives the palate a smooth, polished texture and a clear, warming finish. Serve chilled, over a large cube or in a spirit-forward cocktail; it also works well in a savoury Martini-style drink with dry vermouth and olive brine.
Taylor Fladgate 2009 Vintage Port 375 mL
Inky black with a purple rim, opening on concentrated woodland fruit, raspberry and plum. Citrus blossom, mint and lavender lift the dense core, while a mineral edge adds definition. The palate is powerful and richly fruited, supported by thick, sinewy tannins that draw the wine into a long, tightly structured finish. Decant carefully before serving with blue cheese.
Mullineux Olerasay No. 2 Solera-Aged Straw Wine 375 mL
Baked apricot, honeysuckle and marmalade rise from a deep golden glass, followed by honeyed richness and a gentle nutty edge. The palate is intensely concentrated yet held in balance by vivid acidity, so the natural sweetness feels bright rather than heavy. A long, layered finish carries dried fruit and citrus peel. Serve lightly chilled with hazelnut tart, blue cheese or fruit-based desserts; a small pour is ample.
Kings County Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375 mL
Corn, hay and peppery spice shape a direct, aromatic opening. The palate is richly textured, bringing cinnamon, dark chocolate and molasses into balance with toasted oak and firm barrel spice. A high-malt grain character keeps the sweetness structured, while the finish is warm, deep and persistent. Serve neat, with a little water, or in a restrained Old Fashioned.
Krug Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne 375 mL
Roasted hazelnut, citrus peel and dried flowers lead into layers of brioche, honey and warm gingerbread spice.

The finish is long and finely balanced, lingering on citrus, toast and delicately spiced nutty notes.
Dal Forno Romano Vigna Sere Recioto 2004

The palate is powerful but sharply defined, its sweetness held by freshness and structure. The finish is polished and persistent, leaving dark fruit, cocoa, spice and aromatic lift.
