High West Distillery Rendezvous Rye Whiskey

Size: 750ml

Robert Parker: 94, Wine Enthusiast: 96

"Rendezvous Rye celebrates the first recorded whiskeyfest out West...in Utah. The 'rendezvous' was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. Alcohol was not one of the 'supplies' at the first rendezvous. This oversight was corrected with a generous supply of whiskey at the second rendezvous in Utah's Cache Valley.

"Rendezvous Rye is a blend of two exotic straight rye whiskies; one old, and one young. It marries the rich aromatic qualities of a 16-year-old rye with the bold spicy properties of 6-year-old rye to create a full flavored, very complex whiskey. The 6-year-old boasts an uncommonly high 95% rye mash bill. Almost every other straight rye whiskey you can buy today is barely legal, with 51-53% rye in the mash bill. Not Rendezvous Rye. It honors the way rye whiskey used to be made, with a high rye content and full, uncompromised flavor. With Rendezvous Rye, you get a taste of authentic rye whiskey. We hope you enjoy it." —producer

"Strong but intriguing. Medium color and body, with rich aromas of burnt orange and caramel. The flavor also reflected burnt orange and caramel, plus a spicy tinge reminiscent of cassia bark or Red-Hot candies. The finish lingers, pleasant, inviting and warm. Might be good for Manhattans—a touch of fruit or sweetness would go well with this rye. Excellent value." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine


"A sensational offering of a younger rye blended with a much older rye made from both rye and barley malt mashbill (53% rye and 37% corn), this is a sweet, smoky, spicy, flamboyant whiskey that is full, rich and intense, but not the least bit harsh. Just about everything I have tasted from High West in Park City, Utah is impressive." —Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

M. Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut Cotes du Roussillon Villages Lesquerde L'esquerda 2018 Size: 750ml

44709
"The color is intense, deep and steady. The nose shows maturity with aromas of black fruits and warm spices. We find the soils of origin are revealed with floral notes (violet) which are lightly smoky. We can find the same aromatic notes on the Northern Côtes du-Rhône soils, which are the birthplace of the Syrah. The attack is both supple and powerful. Tannins are at the same time powerful and tight. The finale is fresh without any heaviness." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-Made up of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan this wine comes from one of the top estates in the Rhone valley. Perfectly balanced, elegant and full of flavor from start to finish this bottle would be an ideal companion with most Lamb dishes. Take this with you to dinner and thank me later. Cheers!

"The nose is dominated by lots of pure blackberry, crushed herbs, earth and peppery characteristics. The mouth is full bodied, very rich with soft and fine tannins. The finish is fresh with a surprising elegance." —winemaker

Aberlour A'bunadh Single Malt Scotch Whisky Size: 750ml

25380
"With each batch carefully made by hand, Aberlour A'bunadh is a unique cask strength whisky that has achieved cult status among whisky connoisseurs. Meaning 'the original' in Gaelic, A'bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour's founder, James Fleming, using only traditional methods without chill filtration or other modern processes. The result is a heavier, creamier single malt than most have ever experienced – memorably flavoursome, with an intense raisin character.

"Deep rich amber colour. Terrific aromas of allspice, praline and spiced orange, in harmony with deep notes of Oloroso Sherry. On the palate, orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger, spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with lingering Sherry and oak. Superlatively full bodied and creamy. Robust and long-lasting finish, with bittersweet notes of exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak." —producer

Tenuta Pederzana Lambrusco Il Grasparossa della Tradizione Size: 750ml

45776
"A modern interpretation of one of the classic wines of Castelvetro; its nuances of morello cherries – typical of Grasparossa –and its characteristic vinosity make it instantly recognizable. Thanks to its rich fruit, the perlage is well integrated in the wine (the bubbles are small due to the long prise de mousse and the wine’s prolonged storage at cold temperatures), giving a sumptuous sensation of creaminess on the palate. The soft, rounded entry on the palate gives way to a dry and attractively tannic finish, which makes it an ideal match for all rich foods." —winemaker
