Monkey Shoulder is one of the few blended malt Scotch whisky brands that are still widely available in a number of countries globally. It carries no-age-statement, and is intended to be a casual-playful whisky from the makers, William Grant & Sons.
A sophisticated whisky that's possesses honey and spicy tones, yet remains light and smoky. Taste the velvetiness that could only come from 40 of Scotland's finest single malts and grain whiskies and over 150 years of bold, Dewar's Scottish tradition.
"Our Ale Cask is the only Scotch to be finished in barrels that once held ale, giving it an irresistible creamy maltiness. To those who brewed the beer and built the barrels, we say #IOU. We wouldn’t have this amazing dram without you. Not only perfect for bringing to friend’s houses for big sporting occasions, like the boules championships, but also great for saying ‘cheers for teaching me to dance’ or ‘thanks for lending me your horse.’"

Black Ram is a blended whisky from Bulgaria produced by Vinprom Peshtera, one of the country’s largest distillers and producers of alcoholic beverages.
A ‘wheated’ bourbon that provides an exceptionally smooth flavor and finish. Winner of the Double Gold at San Francisco World Spirits competition, 1843®'s award-winning taste is appreciated from coast to coast. In the private back room of a grocery store on North 6th Street in St. Louis, Missouri, unbeknownst to its forefather, a legacy was born. The store's owner, David Nicholson, created the famed ‘43’ bourbon recipe. Little did he know that his recipe would be passed on and passed down, remaining unaltered for almost two centuries. Still possessing the outstanding character for which it earned its original popularity in 1843, the David Nicholson legacy lives on unchanged, unfettered, and unmatched.

Tuthilltown Spirits had the honour of producing the first legal pot-still whiskey in New York since Prohibition - Hudson Baby Bourbon! Made using 100% New York corn, the Tuthilltown folks mature the spirit in tiny 2 gallon barrels and treat it to some music. This isn't simply to entertain the whiskey as it sits stoically in a warehouse, the bass speakers agitate the cask and liquid, impacting the flavour! This is a 70cl bottling.
