TIME TO GET BIDDING

The bitter truth is that the Bitter Truth 24 Year Old Rye Whiskey is extremely elusive. We were determined to find a bottle before it is lost to the pages of adoring blog posts and this month, we’ve struck gold – this exceptional single-barrel rye whisky from Willett distillery was distilled in 1984 before being bottled at barrel-proof in 2008 by drink maestros Bitter Truth. If this is a tad young for your tastes, take a look at Harry E Wilken 1917 Special Reserve which was distilled during WWI and bottled during the Prohibition era as a, um, medicine.

The Hanyu Card Series? We’ve got it in Spades, as well as a few aces up our sleeve. From the blockbuster 1985 Ace of Spades to the mischievous Joker, shuffle through and take your pick from the Eight of Hearts, Five of Diamonds and more from this closed Japanese distillery – we hope you get a good deal.
