"Aroma is delicate and grainy sweet; additional time brings out more peat fire, cigar tobacco, seaweed and ocean breeze. Palate entry is sap-like in its gentle sweetness; by midpalate, my palate is enchanted as lush, but pointed tastes of sea salt, gentle pipe smoke, peat and pineapple converge. Finishes smoky and salty. Wonderful."

"De Montal X.O. is an armagnac for gastronomy a masterpiece of balance and length. The vanillin and syringa pervade the aromas, the wooden aggressiveness diminishes, the color reaches amber and the "Rancio" appears but the armagnac retains its vigor." -Distillery

"The opening whiffs are reminiscent of forest floor leafs; following aeration deeper aromas of dry malt, linseed oil and pine emerge. The palate entry is balanced between acidity and malt sweetness; at midpalate the flavor profile highlights tastes of oak."

A delicious whisky. The sweetness and nuttiness of Bushmills whiskey and of Madeira are an enjoyable double-act. The whiskey has to work hard to avoid being upstaged.

"Cabo Uno is the result of a rare event, where the biding patience of nature and meticulous human craftsmanship converge at a precise moment to create perfection. Indeed, from the first moment you touch the crystal decanter to that first instant where the tequila itself touches your lips, it becomes immediately apparent that Cabo Uno is a tequila unlike any other. Handcrafted from the finest 100 percent blue weber agave available, Cabo Uno is matured in charred American white oak barrels for 38 months and is produced in very small batches, with each bottle signed and numbered. Boasting delicate aromas of fresh herbs and fruit, our Uno Tequila excites the palate with elegant notes of chocolate, caramel and roasted coffee before delivering an exceptionally long and ultra-smooth finish. Bottled in hand-blown crystal and boxed in wood and leather, Cabo Uno is simply the finest tequila in the world and is a drink to be savored, and experienced, on its own." -Distillery

"In commemoration of their second centenary Sanchez Romate Hnos. set aside 40 butts of "Cardenal Mendoza" to celebrate. This brandy came to light in 1981. There are very limited amounts of this precious brandy and because of this a very small number of people are fortunate enough to gain access to it. To see, smell and to taste this brandy is to open a door into history. Non Plus Ultra is presented in an exclusive handcrafted glass decanter. Appearance: Very dark mahogany, luminous, transparent, gleaming, exciting. Aroma: Very round, clean, elegant, distinguished, old Oloroso, with hints of raisins and plums. Taste: Perfectly balanced, warm, very smooth, with traces of old mahogany, long after taste." -Importer

"Extra-aged Green Chartreuse. Aromas are keenly botanical and vegetal/woodsy. The palate shows peppermint, citrus peel, and sage along with the herbs and botanicals. Concludes with finesse and power."

"One of Cooley's finest efforts. Moderate doses of kiln smoke, dried turf, and kippers, tamed by vanilla cream, barley, and a buttery, olive oil texture. Subtle spices dance on the palate. Lingering smoky, white pepper finish. Islay meets Ireland."
