New wines include Jake Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wine estates in Washington State and Napa Valley, California’s Ashes & Diamonds Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Hen Vineyard) and Grand Vin.
- Penelope Bourbon Straight Bourbon is a four-grain straight bourbon whiskey uniquely blended from three bourbon mash bills. Penelope Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey uses the signature four-grain balanced flavor profile, which is then aged three to four years in new American oak barrels.
- Colorado’s Old Elk Distillery has launched a limited-release small-batch Sour Mash Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey, with a unique high-malted barley content bourbon.
- Adictivo Tequila, a 100% pure agave azul made in El Arenal, Jalisco, Mexico, is traditionally produced in order to preserve the purity of the agave, available in Añejo, Extra Añejo, Extra Añejo Cristalino and Reposado expressions.
- Jake Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay use fruit from wine estates in Washington State. The Cabernet Sauvignon offers notes of black cherry and black currant with a touch of vanilla and spice. The Chardonnay has subtle floral aromas, hints of stone fruit and citrus notes, and a crisp mouthfeel with some minerality.
- Ashes & Diamonds Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Hen Vineyard) and Grand Vin hail from Napa Valley. Renowned winemakers Steve Matthiasson and Diana Snowden Seysses utilize old-school farming and winemaking techniques with minimal intervention.
