• Glengoyne 21-year-old Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($119.99)
  The Glen Goyne 21 year is one of the biggest deals in the world of Scotch. A splendid distillery in the lower highlands, producing whisky of this age from Oloroso Sherry Casks, would normally sell their 21 year for atleast $170…and they usually do! But we have a crazy deal with the distributor to get the price way way down. We’ll have this price until current stocks run out so get it while the gettin’ is good.

• Rhetoric 20 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 750ml (ships as 1.5L) ($99.99)
  Another 20 year old release from Diageo’s Orphan Barrel series that showcases ultra-mature Bourbon from Bernheim Distillery. Whereas the Barterhouse 20 year began with a soft and rounded profile, showcasing the extra oak from two decades of aging, the Rhetoric is far more balanced with less initial sweetness and more peppery spice. The tobacco and herbaceous notes carry through to the finish, which is decidedly longer and more intense than what the Barterhouse offers. Considering both stocks originate from the same distillery, it’s interesting to taste how Diageo has chosen to blend together the remaining barrels. Fans of the richer, more supple style of Bourbon might lean towards the Barterhouse, but those in search of what’s ultimately underneath the sweetness will prefer the Rhetoric without question. The baking spices on the nose are more alluring, and the complexity of flavor far more interesting. (NOTE: Due to the width of the Rhetoric bottl e all shipping orders will be charged as 1.5L bottles)
