Scotch Tullibardine Sovereign I'm really fond of the entire Tullibardine line up!

Special Reserve 12yr Start to finish, superb. -Van $55.50 750mL Knappogue Castle 12 Yr. -Tara $56.90 750mL Teeling Small Batch Smaller craft distillery, very floral/fruity taste with some caramel, which comes from being aged in oak barrels. -Mark $58.80 700mL Redbreast Lots of spice to it, with some nut notes from almond oils. Creamy finish which goes down very smooth. -Mark $96.60 750mL Middleton Very Rare Makes you wish you were a leprechaun. -Van $240.10 750mL Rye Canadian Club 100% Rye -Kyle $30.30 750mL Alberta Premium Dark Horse Sweeter than most with some notes of cinnamon and spices. Premium rye at a non- premium price. -Mark $33.40 750mL Danfield’s Limited Edition 21 Yr. I highly recommend this whiskey. It's a real bargain for the price. With hints of cinnamon, cloves and pepper the taste speaks for itself. -Char $41.70 750mL Canadian Club Sherry Cask Canadian Club has been around so long that I think people forget about them. The sherry finish is really a delight to revisit or even visit for the 1st time if you haven't before. -Tara $51.50 750mL Sonoma Rye This is new to AB. It's a very fragrant spirit - full of flowers and spicy notes. The palate has that distinctive peppery spice that rye is known for, but it's definitely a more elegant and refined style of rye. -Tara $93.80 750mL Whistlepig Straight Rye It’s distilled and matured in Canada (Alberta Premium) then sent to Vermont to age further in bourbon barrels 10 years aged 100% rye. Caramel and butterscotch on the flavour profile. -Mark $121.00 750mL Bourbon Bulleit A great bourbon for anyone first getting into the spirit, or exploring their tastes further.

Notes of vanilla with toffee and cinnamon. -Mark $52.50 750mL Blanton’s Green Label Good bourbon. Nice presentation in round bottle. -David M. $69.10 750mL Booker Small Batch This cask strength bourbon showcases a depth of flavor unrivalled in most other offerings. Intended to be sipped straight, only mixed with a few drops of water to mellow out the heat. -Sam $76.00 750mL High West American Prairie Bourbon Not from Kentucky, but rather Utah. High West is gaining attention as a distillery to be taken seriously. Spicy nose typical of bourbon, lovely stewed fruit and vanilla. A nice middle ground between sweeter and bold styles of bourbon. -Tara $78.90 750mL Blanton’s Gold Label Warm caramel and spice. Smooth on the pallet. Recommend neat or on the rocks. -Neil $97.70 750mL Jim Beam Distiller’s Masterpiece Complex but respectable finish. -Van $241.10 750mL Other Whiskies Nikka From The Barrel Great price and great tasting. Notes of oak, spice and subtle vanilla. -Mark $56.50 500mL High West Campfire Scotch, Bourbon and Rye all blended together forms one smokey delicious drink. Cinnamon, honey, toffee with a lingering taste of peat. -Mark $81.50 750mL Gin New Amsterdam Citrusy, pleasant finish, very economical. -Van $27.90 750mL Broker’s It comes with a plastic bowler hat on the lid. That's enough for me. -Tara $30.40 750mL Hayman’s Old Tom A unique gin from one of the oldest distillers in the UK. Old Tom style gins are sweeter then most other gins. Great for carbonated cocktails. -Sam $33.50 700mL Citadelle Good value for a nice gin. -David M. $34.50 750mL Gin Mare Excellent in a gin and tonic. It makes for a very savoury drink with rosemary and olive notes being the most prominent. -Charlene $44.30 700mL Death’s Door Wickedly delightful, mighty fine juniper note distinct. -Van $47.30 750mL Hendricks Classic London dry gin. -David M. $52.50 750mL Long Table Cucumber Gin Great amounts of cucumber on the nose and taste. The mixture between cucumber and juniper is great. I also like they source everything from BC. -Mark $48.50 750mL Brockmans -Tara $52.70 750mL Dictador Treasure (Colombian) Strong citrus taste followed up by very nice notes of rum because it’s aged in rum barrels. Again… love me some rum! -Mark $55.30 700mL Aviation American Gin Bright vibrant botanicals of Juniper, lavender, anise and orange peel stand strong in this gin. Perfect for a dry martini or its namesake cocktail, The Aviation. -Sam $150.50 750mL Rum Bacardi Torched Cherry A great choice to bring along with you to a party. Mix up some rum and colas for some “adult” cherry cokes. -Sam $28.50 750mL Young’s Old Sam Demerara My favourite mixing rum. A splash of dark soda will truly bring this to life. Strong notes of molasses accompanies some nice caramel taste. -Mark $30.40 750mL Mount Gay Eclipse Excellent value. Great for cocktails. -Neil $31.50 750mL Royal Jamaican Gold Perfect for shots and cocktails, sweetness bang on. -Van $31.90 750mL Brugal Extra Viejo -Kyle $34.40 750mL Brinley Shipwrecked Spiced Among the only spiced rums to be barrel ages.

The finish is just an added bonus. -Char $69.00 750mL El Dorado 21 yr For the most discerning rum aficionado. A huge depth of dry fruits, nuts, cinnamon, vanilla and cane sugar blend together perfectly. Something to be sipped by itself while in deep deep thought. -Sam $97.20 750mL Kirk & Sweeny 18 yr Silky smooth, bright finish -Van $104.50 750mL Brugal Siglo de Oro Really nice rum and really nice packaging for a gift. -Kyle $123.90 700mL Diplomatico SV 2000 It's quite difficult to find rums that are of a single vintage (or at least, labeled as such). Diplomatico is popular for a reason. The rums are balanced, complex, and layered. The SV 2000 is full bodied (for a rum) and rich. -Tara $137.70 750mL Anything from the Traveller's Rum series This line of rum from Belize offers great value, coming in slightly under the price point of some of the more well-known brands. -Tara 1 Barrel White 3 Barrel Cristal Parrot Kuknat 750mL $28.80 $28.10 $30.80 $26.70 $29.50 Vodka Khortytsa Classic This is a very smooth vodka. Excellent on its own or very good in cocktails. For the price point it is quite a steal. -Charlene $25.60 750mL Khortytsa Platinum Smooth, clean. -Van 26.90 750mL New Amsterdam Incredibly smooth, excellent value. -Neil $ 28.30 750mL Ketel One -Tara $37.90 750mL Tito’s Handmade Old pot stilled, very clean crisp taste. I did a blind comparison between it and Grey Goose and this was the clear winner. -Mark $38.60 750mL Long Table -Tara $45.60 750mL Alaska Distillery Smoked Salmon What a Caesar lacks. -Van $46.90 750mL Chopin Gold medal winning potato vodka. -Neil $51.60 750mL Beluga Gold I’ll be honest, I have not tried it but literally every review I have read on it states it is the greatest vodka out there. Wanna buy me a bottle so I can taste? :) -Mark $153.30 750mL Tequila Uno Mas Blanco An inexpensive blanc that can be sipped as well as used for mixing. -Tara $39.20 750mL Milagro Reposado Balanced taste, nice finish. -Van $53.20 750mL Tromba Reposado This tequila is great quality. I like it neat or in a cocktail (La Paloma) which consists of Tromba, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt and top it off with grapefruit soda. -Charlene $68.80 750mL El Amo Anejo Premium Really nice smooth tequila for this price. -David M. $77.60 750mL Don Julio Reposado Best served on its own ice cold. This gem is aged in bourbon barrels which gives it an oaky and cinnamon/vanilla taste. -Mark $80.10 750mL Roca Patron Reposado I like tequila that isn't overly oaked, as then the spicy and fruity notes come through. Most recent release from Patron. Smooth, complex. -Tara $123.90 750mL Jose Cuervo Reserva Familia Sensational! -Van $124.30 750mL Sake Hakutsuru Sayuri Complete flavour, enjoyable. -Van $9.40 300mL Iwaizake Kaiun A happy libation. -Van $58.30 1800mL Brandy St. Remy V.S.O.P.

Smooth- a delightfully velvet balance, superb finish -Van $99.30 700mL Torres "Jaime" 30 yr This is a constant favourite year after year. Not only is the packaging impressive, but the brandy inside is amazing. Rich, dark & brooding brandy. Sip slowly in front of a fire with either a good book or a great partner in crime. -Tara $121.90 750mL Chateau Montifaud 50 Yr. Just bloody elegant! -Van $214.70 700mL Port Croft Pink Elegant, soft, most appealing. -Van $20.70 750mL Niepoort LBV Worthy of the gods. -Van $32.10 750mL Taylor Fladgate 10 Yr. Tawny Good value for a nice port. -David M. $35.20 750mL Taylor Fladgate Quinta de Vargellas 2012 Single vineyard / vintage from Taylor. IT's also organically farmed, but can't say farmed due to the spirit used to fortify is not organic. -Tara $74.00 7560mL Liqueur Luxardo Maraschino A key bottle any barkeep should have on hand. Made from distilling Marasca cherries, this liqueur adds plenty of flavor and texture without altering your cocktails colour or proof. -Sam $21.60 500mL Forbidden Secret Mocha Cream Nutty and creamy with some American whisky and espresso thrown in makes this one deliciously easy to enjoy drink. -Mark $27.60 750mL RumChata Cream Liqueur This liqueur is smooth and delicious. I like it on ice or I add fireball to make the flavour of cinnamon toast crunch. -Charlene $28.60 750mL St Remy A La Crème Although Bailey's dominates the cream liqueur category, this version has a brandy base and is not as sweet or cloying as Baileys. -Tara $29.40 750mL Southern Comfort My favourite summer time or anytime drink. Pink lemonade mixed in with some Soco goes down very easy. -Mark $30.30 750mL Baja Rosa Tequila Cream Liqueur I really enjoy this on ice or in a cocktail called a Strawberry Cow. (Baja Rosa, grenadine and Milk) Delish! -Charlene $30.40 750mL Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur Besides the awesome bottle it is very smooth and buttery with hints of nuts and vanilla. Fabulous on the rocks. -Charlene $34.70 750mL 1921 Crema De Tequila Creamy and full of caramel & mocha notes. Light tequila aftertaste, super smooth and enjoyable just on its own just over ice. -Mark $34.90 750mL St. Germain Elderflower Unbelievable flavour. Very mixable, not excessively sweet, joyous. -Van $48.60 750mL Berta DiMombaruzzo Amaretto -Tara $65.00 700mL Grand Marnier Centenaire 100 Outstanding flavour, undeniable. -Van $105.90 750mL Other Favourite Things Cocchi Vermouth Amaro Beautiful vermouth for sipping or cocktails. -David M. $34.80 750mL Vya Vermouth Extra Dry Fantastic notes of lavender, angelica and many other herbs and botanicals help you elevate your cocktails. Perfect for your martini loving friends. -Sam $35.00 750mL La Quintinye Vermouth Rouge -Tara $46.60 750mL Dillons DSB Bitters A step up from the usual aromatic bitters.

Extremely small harvest per acre (1.5t per acre - when 6-8 tonnes per acre is typical. Brooding and muscular, full of dark red fruit and vanilla. -Tara $95.70 Moscato Alpha Crucis Moscato Australia Not an overly cloying style of muscat.
