SPIRITS

SINGLE MALT WISKY PEATED 92PF Made from the finest imported Scottish peated barley. Aged in oak barrels, this exclusive bottling is non-chill filtered offering.

Spicy spirits are genuinely difficult to pull off as not everyone's idea of enjoyable spice is the same. It can also be quite difficult to capture the essence of a spicy chili pepper without it coming off artificial. Several brands have attempted to tackle the spicy spirit challenge, including Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper Stoli Hot & Sticki, and even Absolut Peppar, but none have quite managed to capture a pure and natural pepper flavor that's still enjoyable to consume.

The nose of Ancho Reyes smells wonderfully like roasted ancho chiles. The nose captures both the roasted chile essence as well as a slightly green and vegetal spicy pepper. Underneath the pepper is cinnamon and sweet honey. The balance in the nose leans more towards sweet than spicy. The entry of Ancho Reyes is also fairly sweet with strong honey notes leading the pack. The honey sustains but it's joined by roasted ancho chile, solid cinnamon, and dark chocolate. It isn't until the end of the midpalate that Ancho Reyes gets really spicy. It's a nice sharp spice that balances out the otherwise sweet character. Hot pepper spice sustains for quite a while on the palate. It's spicy but not uncomfortably so.

ANCHOR DISTILLING CO. GENEVIEVE GENEVER STYLE GIN 94.6PF Genevieve is a re-creation of the earliest gins, which came to be known as "genever". The basis of the spirit is a grain mash of wheat, barley, and rye malts, which is distilled in a copper pot still with the same botanicals as the modern "distilled dry gin," Junípero Gin. This gin is a throwback to the 18th century origins of Holland's famous drink and is notably different to the other products on the market. Using a traditional grain mash of wheat, barley and rye, the liquor is then distilled in an old-fashioned copper pot still. The botanicals are the same as modern gin - juniper being most important - but the result is unique. Many early cocktail recipes were made using this style of gin, known as Genevar, which has a strong flavor profile, created by the unique grain mash. Anchor's distillery is in the heart of San Francisco and is famous for its legendary Anchor Steam beer.

Made in small batches using Anchor Distilling Co.'s tried and true copper pot stills, Junipero is a gin lovers gin and Anchor Distilling (one of the pioneers in American craft distilling) has been producing this fine spirit for almost 20 years. It is distilled with over a dozen different botanicals and bottled at a bold 98.6 proof. Junipero is crafted in the classic "distilled dry gin" style and the juniper definitely takes charge in the flavor profile. The proprietary blend of botanicals used in tandem with the obligatory juniper berries is a closely guarded secret. Notes of orange peel, coriander, cassia, and an earthy, almost woodsy undertone shines. This is classic dry gin kicked up a notch.

Aged in tradtional handmade uncharred oak barrels. This release was distilled in a small copper pot still at the Anchor distillery on San Francisco's Potrero Hill, from a mash of 100% rye malt. Rye was the grain of choice for America's first distillers, and using a mash of 100% rye malt produces a uniquely American whiskey.

Old Potrero Single Malt Straight Rye Whiskey is a part of our endeavor to re-create the original whiskey of America. This release was distilled in a small copper pot still at our distillery on San Francisco's Potrero Hill, from a mash of 100% rye malt. Rye was the grain of choice for America's first distillers, and using a mash of 100% rye malt produces a uniquely American whiskey. This straight rye whiskey was aged in new handmade charred oak barrels. In traditional barrel making, the cooper heats the staves over a fire of oak chips, allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel. During this process, the inside of the barrel becomes lightly toasted. By the early 19th century, coopers had learned that if they allowed the heat to continue, the inside of the barrel would burst into flames and become charred. At Anchor, we have found that handmade oak barrels charred in this traditional manner impart a rich color and unique character to our rye whiskey. We hope you will enjoy comparing it to our other releases. The Anchor Distilling Company is dedicated to creating very small batches of traditionally distilled spirits of many types and styles.

ONE BOTTLE LIMIT

Brand new from Kentucky is the latest rye whiskey from Angel's Envy. Following in the same vein as their Port-Barrel finished bourbon, the Rye is finished in Rum Casks. This is not your typical rye by any means. The rum barrel really went to work on this dram. Big, chewy rum laden sweetness intermingles with rye spiciness. The nose is huge and decadent with maple syrup, nutmeg, vanilla, and fresh baked banana bread. The palate is coated with big flavors of rum cake, baking spices, caramelized banana, and butterscotch. This is about as rich and full as it gets. Pair this with a full bodied cigar and make a great gift for Father's Day.

Angostura 1919 is a specially blended multiple award winning rum, which celebrates a very particular date in the development of the rum industry in Trinidad & Tobago, as well as the Caribbean. After a fire in 1932, which destroyed the Government Rum Bond, the master blender of Fernandes Distillers, J.B. Fernandes, bought the charred casks, only to discover they had been filled in the year 1919. The prized rum was skillfully blended and called "1919 Aged Rum."
