New Arrivals
Japan – Single Malt Scotch
- Suntory Yamazaki 18 year old Japanese Single Malt Whiskey (one bottle limit) 750ml ($154.99)
93 points Whisky Advocate: “Deep, mature in nature, and very complex. Notes of polished leather, maple syrup, and dark pit fruit, with suggestions of tobacco smoke, wood shavings, and unsweetened chocolate. References to fine old bourbon and ultra-matured pot-still rum provide intrigue. Proof that Japan produces some outstanding, distinctive whiskies. Nicely done! ” 91 points Wine Enthusiast: “Apple and pear aromas, and delicate floral and fruity flavors. This Japanese whisky finishes smoky, elegant and restrained.” (03/2011) K&L Notes: The Suntory whiskies are handcrafted at Japan’s oldest distillery, built by the founder of Suntory–Shinjiro Torii–in 1923. This was named “Best in Class” at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2006 and awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This will wow any fan of single malt whisky with its spicy cherry, date, toffee and orange notes and its long, dry finish.
United States – Bourbon and Rye
- Tuthilltown Hudson Baby Bourbon (375ml) – 12 available ($42.99)
Tuthilltown Spirits is located along New York Hudson’s River and has the distinction of being the first New York distillery to (legally) make bourbon since Prohibition. The Hudson Baby Bourbon is a single-grain bourbon made entirely from New York corn, and it is aged in small American oak barrels that impart vanilla caramel notes and soften the spirit’s edges. Mild, this is a great introduction to bourbon, but enjoyable for even the most discerning connoisseur.
