    From a single vineyard planted in 1995. Made with 10–20% whole bunches and three to four weeks on skins before being pressed to seasoned barriques for 11 months. A bright ruby red. A core of red and black fruits laced with blood orange and a little spice. You barely notice the whole bunches. Really fresh and brightly structured on the palate. This will be a cracking wine in another six or so months. Drink by 2032.

    Glenmorangie The Infinita 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $199. 99
    Bottle
    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    What was the 'Extremely Rare 18 year old' is now titled 'Infinita 18 Year Old', with packaging updated to a vibrant blue gift box with copper accents. The expression is said to be a favourite of Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden. He says: “For me, Glenmorangie Infinita encapsulates every element of our house style in perfect harmony and is our most deliciously complex creation. There are aromas of honey, vanilla, narcissus and jasmine, and tastes of figs, dates, nuts, gentle spices and more. Fans of Glenmorangie 18 Years Old can rest assured that our wondrous whisky is unchanged. I’m sure they’ll agree that, as its new name suggests, Glenmorangie Infinita is deliciousness without end.” The whisky retains its flavour profile from Glenmorangie's characteristic distillation process and maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... This marriage of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks on Glenmorangie’s revamped 18 year old has created a delightful nose of heather honey, toasted oak, citrus peel, candied ginger, mandarin orange flan, lemon zest, icing sugar, and floral notes. Polished and elegant on the taste buds, with honeyed fruits, peach, mandarin, pepper, clove, and orange cake, with little licks of smoke, sultana, oak, and Olde English marmalade on the lengthy finish. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...extra time has changed things more than a little: The nose is richly earthy and laden with umami notes, almost leathery and vegetal rather than clearly herbal or grassy. A light furniture polish note adds a level of austerity to the experience. The palate at last sweetens things up, its baked apple character mixing with toasted almonds and crushed graham crackers, making for a chewy cobbler experience. A gentle beefiness endures here, some of that rye-driven greenery evoking rosemary and thyme. But watch carefully for a final burst of strawberries on the conclusion, along with a touch of saffron, which perk this rather savory experience up enough to keep things lively. - drinkhacker.com

    One of Australia's most impressive rosé, Farr Rising produce their dry and complex example from Pinot Noir.

    Planted in 2001 to a mix of MV6, 114 and 115 clones, the Farr Rising Pinot Noir vineyard consists of grey sandy loam soils mixed with an ironstone pebble, leading to black volcanic soil over limestone at the bottom of the vineyard. While the By Farr wines see 60-100% whole bunches included, Farr Rising Pinot uses 30-40% depending on the vintage conditions. Each vintage these Farr Rising wines edge ever closer to their By Farr siblings.

    Sons of Eden have been at the forefront of a new wave of Barossa winemakers revitalising the regions wine styles.

From grower and estate vines with whole berry and whole bunch carbonic maceration, extended time on skins (four to five weeks), with one grenache parcel at 25 weeks; maturation in 3500 and 5000L foudre, eggs and puncheons.

    The 2016 Champagne Vintage Brut is the new release and is composed of 70% Pinot Noir from Verzy and the rest Chardonnay from Chouilly. A slightly richer golden straw hue, it has a floral bouquet on the nose and is a very pretty vintage of this wine aromatically. It’s sappy with lemon confit and is salty throughout the palate, revealing the weight of the Pinot Noir but retaining wonderful freshness. This lovely wine is going to take some time to open aromatically, but it’s going to be worth the wait. Drink it over the coming 15 years. It’s a going to be a stunning wine for pairings. 7 gram per liter dosage in this wine and in the collection. Drink 2024-2040.

    2008 Single Malts of Scotland Glen Elgin 13 Year Old Australian Exclusive Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $169. 99
    Bottle
    $2039.88 Dozen
    ABV: 56.5%

    The official importer of The Single Malts of Scotland range has landed another very desirable Australian Exclusive. After countless samples a single ex-Bourbon American oak hogshead from Glen Elgin was selected for its outstanding character. Aged for thirteen years and bottled at a natural cask strength of 56.5%, it promises a top tier dram that will not disappoint. There are 260 bottles only for Australia. Revered by blenders, Glen Elgin is nestled in the heart of Speyside’s rolling hills and is known for producing lush fruity spirit with a weighty body. Clear wort, a long fermentation time, and slow distillation help shape its signature tropical fruit profile. Condensing then takes place in worm tubs adding weight and complexity to the spirit (it remains one of only a handful of distilleries that still uses worm tubs). Whilst Glen Elgin is a Diageo staple, it is a relatively small distillery with much of the spirit going to the White Horse blend. Official bottlings are a rare sight these days with only a 12YO in production as part of Diageo's Hidden Malt range.

    Notes from the importers... Nose: Pear drops, waxy apple skins, paraffin candles, cinnamon sticks and creme brulee coalesce in a portrait of apple strudel dusted with icing sugar. Taste: Creamy and tropical, notes of juicy pineapple and strawberry cream combine with freshly baked apple pie and rich vanilla. Absolutely gorgeous! Finish: Juicy, creamy and light - medium length.

    No.4 in Drinkhacker's Top 10 Gins of 2024.

    Other reviews... Hendrick’s Gin and its Cabinet of Curiosities line of special editions continues with this fifth release, Grand Cabaret, the first wandering of master distiller Lesley Gracie into the world of stone fruits as botanical ingredients. You won’t miss those stone fruits — they’re evident from the moment you pour the gin from the bottle. On the nose, bold notes of cherry and peaches are prominent, evoking fruit brandy more than any gin you might be imagining. Some blossom elements provide a slight break from the exuberant fruit notes, but they are comparably mild in relation to the bolder, juicy fruit quality. The palate holds no surprises: Slightly sweet, it’s a fruit bomb that again drops a torrent of peach, cherry, and some tropical elements on the imbiber. Florals are present mainly in the form of lilac and lavender, with orange and cherry blossom also in the mix. Juniper and the signature cucumber of standard Hendrick’s aren’t notable here until the finish emerges, where some gentle green herbaceousness finally shows its face. Still: Red fruit dominates, through and through. As gins go, this will be far afield from anything remotely familiar to most, but it’s certainly charming as a diversion and works very well in long drinks (think soda, cranberry juice, Prosecco, or ginger ale — or a combination of these). Whatever you do, don’t even think about using it in a martini. - drinkhacker.com

    A rich, powerful Coonawarra Cabernet with engulfing black fruits and a sturdy structure.

    Sourced from Yalumba’s famed Menzie’s vineyard, the name ‘Cigar’ is derived from the unique cigar like shape of Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa strip.

Intense ripe blackcurrant and liquorice aromas flood the nostrils trailed by some vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco, black olive and bay leaf notes. Rich and full in the mouth with engulfing flavours of blackcurrant and liquorice overlaying a spicy vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco and bay leaf infused back drop.

    Matured for 16 months in new French oak barriques and hogsheads (17%), the balance in one-year and older French oak barriques and hogsheads. Blackberries pulled from the vine, dark cherries and dried olives. Tahitian vanilla, roasted coffee beans and fruit-and-nut chocolate. Compact boysenberries on the palate with a slew of fruit sweetness cut by caraway seed, allspice and pepper. A sappy succulence to the wine. It's all class and a fine wine indeed.

    Opaque with a core of dark purple with a ruby rim leads to a bouquet of complexity and power, baking spices and roasted berry fruits, cacao and cinnamon, violets and a nutty-rich layer of smoky barrel. Dry, complex, powerful and delicious, a wine of texture and flavour, mouthfeel and style. Flavours of dark berries and baking spices wrapped in a flourish of tannins and acidity both adding a tautness and complexity. Well made, lengthy and classic from Yalumba.

    Amelia Park Wines, established in 2009 by Jeremy and Daniela Gordon and Peter Walsh, is located in the heart of Western Australia's renowned Margaret River wine region. Winemaker and co-owner Jeremy Gordon combines traditional techniques with modern innovation, believing that great wines begin in the vineyard with superior fruit quality. The resulting wines are elegant, fruit-driven, and complex in structure while remaining effortlessly enjoyable.
    The 2023 Chardonnay, sourced from the Wilyabrup sub-region, is crafted from a blend of Gin Gin, Davis, and Dijon clones. Hand-picked and chilled overnight, the whole bunches were gently pressed, naturally settled, and transferred to French oak barrels for wild fermentation. The wine matured on lees for nine months with minimal stirring to preserve freshness and acidity. Aged in French oak for eight months, this Chardonnay is enjoyable now but will also reward careful cellaring.

    The nose is pure and expressive with integrated notes of macadamia nuts, lemon peel and gunsmoke. The medium-bodied palate has crisp acidity and long, lingering notes of lime curd, grapefruit rind and sea spray. Refined and polished. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Glengyle Distillery Kilkerran 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2024 Release
    Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
    $149. 99
    Bottle
    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    The Kilkerran brand has been described as "Springbank's big middle finger to the SWA" for trying to screw them out of a regional designation. In 1998 the Scotch Whisky Association decided to cease referring to Campbeltown as a whisky region. Two distilleries (Springbank & Glen Scotia) simply weren't enough. Prompted to restore the Peninsula's reputation, Hedley Wright, the owner of Springbank envisioned Glengyle as a project to cement Campbeltown as a region proper, rather than just an extension of the Lowlands. Its whiskies are now on just about every malt maniacs short list.  Many who were lucky enough to be acquainted with Springbank's output a decade or so ago appreciate that Kilkerran is essentially a slightly less peated version of the same malt - for less dollars. The same distillery team run both operations. There is a slight difference in the production process but the upshot is a lightly peated West Highlander with fresh citrus notes and an oiliness on the palate, plus a little briney, coastal character. Because its profile clocks the range of flavours found in single malt Scotch, it is in many ways quintessential. The 12 year old is the perfect introduction. The 2024 edition was matured in 70% Bourbon and 30% Sherry casks and bottled at their standard strength of 46% without chill filtration. Experience has shown that the best time to buy it is at the start of each allocation cycle while the opening prices hold. Global demand for this distillery is already catching up with Springbank.

    Notes from the producers... Initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding. The peat smoke carries through to the finish in campfire embers, with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.

    A vintage that marks an incoming winemaker and a culling of lesser quality fruit. Cabernet and shiraz, the Aussie archetype. Consummate, medium-bodied and savory, with better tannin management than what I recall of past vintages.
