Father's Day Gift Guide: Spirits

Bourbon: Rich & Easy-going

Willet Family Bourbon Reserve
Willet Family Bourbon Reserve was rated 90 "outstanding" points by Malt Advocate Magazine. It boasts notes of vanilla, coconut, and creme brulee that provide a base for emerging notes of cedar wood shavings, cinnamon, soft mint and a hint of fennel. It is an incredibly drinkable whiskey that is rich and easy-going.
Our Price: $36.99

Single Malt: Well-Balanced & Mellow
Bruichladdich Scotch Single Malt The Laddie 10 Year
The mellow, oak sweetness is welcoming as are hints of bourbon and gingerbread, sherry and sultanas; and as they move on, there are the lighter, icing sugar-coated fruits. It’s fresh and frictionless, the texture of warm honey - then dry, crispy, malt barley; together with the oak they merge beautifully to cradle the lighter flavors, adding the strong pulse to The Laddie 10 Year.
Our Price: $54.99

Rum: Exotic & Robust 
Brown rum distilled from fermented molasses. Blend of rums aged up to 8 years in used whisky and bourbon barrels. The premium rum from the house of Brugal and the most popular premium rum in the Dominican Republic. Lots of dark fruit, roasted cashew, cinnamon with overtones of vanilla on the body give way to the slightly viscous smoky finish. 

Brandy: Classic & Refined
Germain-Robin Brandy Coast Road Reserve
California distiller Germain-Robin is known worldwide for their fine brandy, created using traditional 19th Century production techniques and an antique cognac still. Coast Road Reserve is rich, smooth and delicately sweet with ripe fruit notes blended with soft hints of spicy vanilla.
Our Price: $69.99

Gin: Sleek & Polished
Greenhook Ginsmiths American Dry Gin
An irresistibly fresh gin made by Brooklyn ginsmith Steven DeAngelo. Greenhook Ginsmith American Dry Gin is a true testament to artisan spirits. Distilled in a custom-made copper pot still, Greenhook has a delicate fresh, fruity nose with notes of juniper and elderflower. The palate boasts flavors of juniper and citrus followed by hints of cinnamon and camomile. Everything about this Gin is oh-so-right!
Our Price: $35.99

Vodka: Vibrant & Smooth
Comb Vodka
Comb has a slight nose of orange blossoms with a full rounded flavor and a smooth finish.It is distilled from honey whereas most vodka is made from corn, wheat or potatoes. We believe that the vodka you produce is only as good as what goes into it, so we start our process by making a wonderfully light and dry honey wine.
Our Price: $35.99

Mezcal: Wild & Pure
del Maguey Mezcal Vida Single Village
Hand crafted, this mezcal is twice distilled at a slow rate in small wood-fired riverside copper stills - this allows for maximum control over flavor specifications that underscore its versatility in cocktails. Vida has a nose of fruit aromatics, a hint of honey, vanilla and roast agave; the palate offer ginger, cinnamon, burnt sandlewood, banana and tangerine, with a long, soft finish.
Our Price: $37.99
