Spirits
Shin Red Wine Umeshu
Ripe plum and dark berry aromas lead into a fuller red-fruit character, with a subtle vinous depth beneath the fruit. The palate is rounded and generous, balancing gentle sweetness with bright plum acidity and a light tannic grip from the red-wine component. Its texture remains smooth and easy to drink, while the finish is fragrant, softly tart and persistent. Serve chilled, over ice or topped with soda alongside charcuterie, roasted nuts or dark chocolate.
Satsuma Shuzo Kannoko Barrel-Aged Mugi Shochu
Fragrant barley leads a rich but restrained aroma, joined by honey, vanilla and gentle toasted oak. The palate is mellow and rounded, with a subtle whisky-like warmth from barrel maturation and a clean grain core beneath. Amber-toned depth builds through the middle without becoming heavy, while quiet spice keeps the texture precise. The finish is smooth, lingering and softly sweet. Serve neat, over ice, or with a small measure of cool water.
Luxardo Antico Cherry Aperitif
Deep burgundy in colour, with zesty citrus, white flowers and ripe cherry over dandelion, burdock and aromatic spice. The palate is richly fruited but held in check by white pepper and a measured herbal bitterness, leading to a long, lightly spiced finish. Serve neat, well chilled or over ice, or use in place of sweet vermouth to give a Manhattan or Negroni a brighter cherry-led shape.
Aperol Aperitivo
Zesty orange and layered herbal aromas arrive with a light touch of vanilla. The palate is velvety and rounded, balancing vivid citrus with root-driven bitterness and measured sweetness. Its lingering herbal finish stays fresh and gently bitter rather than heavy. Serve over ice with soda, build into a classic Spritz with sparkling wine, or pair with olives, cured meats, potato chips and other salty aperitivo snacks.
Ballantine’s Finest Blended Scotch Whisky
Crown Royal Fine De Luxe Canadian Whisky
Tanqueray London Dry Gin 750 mL
Over 180 years of distilling expertise results in the classic character of a classic gin, Tanqueray. On the nose, juniper is in the foreground, with citrus and coriander; dry and very balanced, with a hint of sweetness and a reserved, elegant delivery of flavours. Good enough to sip or blend into your favourite cocktail.
Hotel Starlino Arancione Italian Orange Aperitivo
Bright orange peel opens the aroma, followed by blood orange, ripe peach and pink grapefruit. The palate is juicy and smooth, with coriander, angelica and gentle herbal bitterness adding shape beneath the citrus. A restrained floral note brings lift, while the finish stays clean, fresh and lightly spiced. Serve over ice with an orange slice, or lengthen with soda or sparkling wine.
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.
Esquimalt Vino Miele Limoncello
Fresh lemon peel opens with vivid citrus oils and a clean, aromatic lift. British Columbia honey adds a rounded, lightly floral sweetness, while the mead base gives the palate a supple texture and more depth than a simple sugar syrup. Bright acidity keeps the finish refreshing rather than heavy, with lemon zest lingering over a soft honeyed note. Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice, or lengthen with soda for a crisp after-dinner drink.
Hakutsuru Yuzu Nigori Liqueur
Bright yuzu aroma leads with fresh citrus and a lightly pithy edge. The palate is rich and softly textured, balancing ripe fruit sweetness against the natural bitterness of the peel. A gently cloudy appearance reinforces its generous, whole-fruit character, while the finish remains lively rather than heavy. Serve well chilled or over ice, alongside spicy dishes, grilled skewers, fruit desserts or salty snacks.
Sobieski Polish Rye Vodka
Moskovskaya Vodka
Fresh grain and subtle herbs shape a clean, crisp nose, with faint banana and vanilla bean adding softness. The palate is smooth and velvety, carrying a light cereal sweetness over cool mineral undertones before a balanced, dry-leaning finish. Its clarity and restrained flavour make it especially useful in simple serves. Enjoy well chilled, over ice, or in a Vodka Soda, Martini or Moscow Mule where the delicate grain character can stay composed.
Dolin Bitter de Chambéry
Bitter orange leads with a fragrant citrus-peel note, followed by gentian, cinchona and layered alpine herbs. The palate balances measured sweetness with a clean, persistent bitterness, remaining lighter and more delicate than many dark red aperitifs. A gently spicy, botanical finish keeps it refreshing. Serve over ice with orange, lengthen with soda, or use as the bitter element in a spritz or aperitivo cocktail.
Luksusowa Polish Potato Vodka
Earthy aromatics open with subtle mineral and herbal notes, followed by a creamy, lightly weighted palate. Gentle spice, citrus and vanilla add definition without obscuring the clean potato character, and the texture remains smooth through a medium-length finish. The overall profile is richer than a very neutral grain vodka while still versatile. Serve well chilled, pour over ice, or use in a Martini, Bloody Mary or savoury cocktail where its rounded texture can contribute body.
Sheringham Rhubarb Gin Liqueur 375 mL
Fresh rhubarb and bright citrus open the aroma, leading to a palate that balances tart fruit with measured sweetness. Juniper and gentle herbal notes keep the liqueur structured, while star anise and lemon peel add lift and a subtle savoury edge. The finish is lively, clean and lightly spiced. Serve chilled or over ice, top with soda or sparkling wine, or use in a citrus-led spritz where its sweet-tart character can stay focused.
Tanduay Amber Rum
Rich caramel and toasted oak lead the aroma, followed by vanilla and a light note of tropical fruit. The palate is smooth and rounded, with molasses-like depth, gentle baking spice and a soft honeyed accent bringing balance to the oak. The finish is warm, mellow and lightly sweet. Serve over ice, lengthen with cola or ginger beer, or use in a rum Old Fashioned where its caramel and oak character can take the lead.
Mad Laboratory Vodka 750 mL
Soft and creamy in texture, with light caramel and toasted grain notes giving the otherwise clean profile quiet depth. The palate opens smoothly with little initial heat, then develops a measured warmth through the finish without becoming sharp. Its restrained richness makes it well suited to simple service. Enjoy well chilled, pour over ice, or use in a Martini or Vodka Soda where the subtle toast and rounded texture can remain apparent.
