Doc Holliday 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey




Doc Holliday 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey...$99.99
75% Corn, 21% Rye and 4% Barley
114 Proof
153 bottles produced of this Single Barrel
Long before John Henry Holliday became known throughout these United States as "Doc" – and also "the slickest gunslinger in the west" – he was a darn good… dentist. Classically educated in Humanities and Mathematics, by 20, he graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (hence the nickname) from one of the top schools in the nation.

Today we know him as the symbol of loyalty in the Wild West and the hero of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Despite all the perils of the Frontier, he remained an even-tempered, well-mannered Southern gentleman until his untimely end at 36 years of age.

We salute Doc Holliday as the epitome of a true friend and a loyal companion.

Combier Kummel

Kummel, an ancient Dutch spirit, has been hard to find lately. 

This is Combier's original recipe from over 150 years ago!


Combier Kummel Extra...$39.99/700ml

Kümmel, also called kummel or kimmel, is a sweet, colorless liqueur flavored with caraway seed, cumin, and fennel. Originally, the words kümmel, kummel, and kimmel were somewhat generic terms in the German, Dutch, and Yiddish languages, respectively, meaning both caraway and cumin.

Serving Suggestions:

Neat: Some enjoy kümmel as a digestif, served chilled or at room temperature.
Chilled: Kümmel is often served chilled, even frozen, to enhance its flavor.
With Ice: You can add ice to kümmel for a refreshing drink, especially if you prefer a less intense flavor.
In Cocktails: Kümmel is a versatile ingredient in cocktails, often used in shaken or stirred drinks, and can be paired with various spirits, juices, and mixers. 
 
The Combier distillery is the oldest in activity in the Loire Valley. Founded in 1834, it has remained anchored ever since on the same plot in the heart of Saumur. From the start, the distillery took full advantage of its position deep in the “Garden of France” to source local produce: fruit, flowers and medicinal plants. More exotic ingredients: spices and citrus fruits would have arrived on traditional boats from the Atlantic port of Nantes. The historical alembic stills are where the magic lies at Distillerie Combier. The ten iconic stills are safely housed in a metallic structure designed by Gustave Eiffel’s skilled engineers. Little has changed here in over 185 years. Utmost attention to detail, a passion for handcrafting spirits and the highest standards prevail. As you follow in the steps of our master distiller, you will enter a world of commitment and innovation, of epic travels, tantalizing flavors and ancient techniques. A place where the taste buds are awakened and fragrances of fruit, spices, herbs, and blossoms captivate your senses… A delightful interlude to savor.

Junipero Gin




Junipero Gin...$28.99
The first of its kind, Junipero fearlessly led the birth of American craft gin in 1996

49.3% ABV

A CRAFT BEER PIONEER SETS HIS SIGHTS ON SPIRITS
The original Anchor Distilling Company was established in 1993 by Fritz Maytag, the same beverage visionary who sparked the craft beer movement with his purchase of Anchor Brewing in 1965. Maytag had rescued the struggling brewery and its iconic steam beer, and after several decades of exclusively producing beer, Maytag saw an opportunity to expand into the distillation of spirits.

THE RETURN OF POT-DISTILLED WHISKEY TO THE UNITED STATES
Fritz’s vision of a rye whiskey revival was fueled by the bold realization that there were no pot-distilled whiskeys being made legally in America at the time. Finding inspiration in the rye whiskeys of America’s past and the great single malt whiskeys of Scotland, Fritz gathered a small team to begin top secret research and experimentation in the distillery. The first whiskey went into barrel in 1994, and the distillery soon began producing three rye whiskeys under Fritz’s guidance, all pot-distilled spirit from a mash of 100% malted rye. Over time, the range of spirits expanded into other categories, with the addition of Junípero Gin and Genevieve genever. The creation of Junípero was particularly significant, as it effectively started the movement towards high-end craft gin in the United States.

Tasting - Open House at Forsyth

 

Mezcal, Whiskey, Amaro Tasting - Open House
with our own mixologist Henry Frees
TONIGHT! Friday, April 4th 5:00pm - 6:30pm


The Wine and Cheese Place
7435 Forsyth Blvd, Clayton MO

Henry is showing off some of the diverse products we well at The Wine and Cheese Place -- Mezcal with Lemongrass, Pineapple Amaro, Oregon American Whiskey....

He is also crafting a cocktail to taste that will include the lemongrass Mezcal and the Pineapple Amaro (we did some taste tests on Sunday).  




Mal Bien Morales Lopez Mezcal Zacate Limon....$28.99
Originally created by Maestro Mezcalero Lucio Morales as a gift to his wife, Agustina, “Zacate” is produced by the Morales family using the same traditional process as their classic “white tape” espadín, with one important twist: Freshly cut lemongrass is added to the stills before the second distillation, and a bit more is macerated in the finished product for an extra touch of aromatics and color. The result is a bright and lively expression of espadín that makes a great highball, brings an interesting twist to classic mezcal cocktails, or works as a fun plug-andplay substitute for gin. Zacate Limón, Receta Original de Lucio Morales López

  • 100% Agave Espadín
  • Roasted in Earth
  • Crushed by Tahona
  • Fermented in Pine
  • Distilled in Copper Pots with Fresh Lemongrass


Mal Bien Morales Lopez Mezcal Espadin....$33.99

  • Prehispanic Oven
  • Tahona Crushed
  • Open Fermented in Pine with well water
  • 2X distilled on copper Alambiques
Complex enough to be enjoyed on its own, at 91 proof it’s also assertive enough to shine through in cocktails where lower ABV mezcales can easily get lost.



Ransom The Emerald American Whiskey...$69.99
on sale, was $79.99
90 Points Spirit
2021 Gold Medal

The Emerald 1865 is a highly aromatic spirit with the weight, richness, and complexity of its forbearers. In seeking to recreate a whiskey of another time and place, we feel we have created a spirit that speaks meaningfully to its provenances; Ireland of yore, and the green hills of Oregon.  The Emerald 1865 Straight American Whiskey is made from a mash of malted barley, unmalted barley, rye, and oats. Once the grains have been harvested, they are milled and mashed before being distilled on a handmade, direct-fired alembic pot still.
Tasting Notes: Bold aroma of oats, malt, and earthy minerals. Rich, structured flavor profile, with notes of caramel, green herbs, and fresh whipped cream. The finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of spice. Aged three to six years in mixed cooperage of French and American oak barrels.

Heirloom Pineapple Amaro...$35.99 / 750ml
Heirloom Pineapple Amaro is a full bodied amaro composed with tropical ingredients like Queen Victoria pineapple, native to the Caribbean and Jamaican Quassia Bark. At once rich and fruity yet sophisticated and bitter, Pineapple Amaro is an ideal cocktail ingredient as well as neat pour digestivo.

All of them are available online if you cannot make it to the tasting
