Marques de Caceres Rioja Rose

$6.99 bottle
$4.99 bottle if buying a case (12)

Marques de Caceres Rioja Rose has a fresh floral scent and tastes of strawberries with a crisp acidic finish. A perfect picnic wine for warm weather (if we ever get any). This wine has everything you want in a rose — dry with just a hint of sweetness — and is a steal at this price. Try one and you’ll come back to pick up a case — it’s that good. (more…)

Whistle Pig Old World 12yr Straight Rye Whiskey

Whistle Pig Old World 12yr Rye is another one of my favorite bottles — 7% was finished in Port Barrels, 30% was finished in French Oak Sauternes, and the remaining 63% was finished in Maderia Casks. The nose on this one is full of fruit and caramel sweetness. The taste is absolutely lovely with a rich stone fruit flavor to it from the Maderia and Port barrels. The taste is then accompanied by a honey sweetness, leather and oak.

Michter’s Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey

First off Michter’s Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is my top choice for a Rye Whiskey. The nose has a sharp spice to it with a nice oak that hangs around. The taste has the perfect amount of spice (that I believe all rye whiskey should have) followed up with a nice balance of sweetness and heat.

Weller Antique 107 Barrel Selection #1: High Proof Wheated Bourbon

I am very excited the share that this is a barrel that I hand selected and it is the first Weller Antique 107 Barrel Selection we have done at Old Port Spirits! The nose is sweet with an unexpected slight floral scent coupled with vanilla notes. The taste is very well balanced with sweet fruit notes, strong vanilla undertone and sharp spicy tones, with a baking spice finish.

Allagash The Stranger and the Crane

The deep brown color and roasty/nutty aroma tell me this is a brown ale. First taste and light mouthfeel say Saison! The taste combines saison yeast spice with subdued coffee and cocoa of a dark ale. Cranberry subtly presents itself as the beer warms up. One-of-a-kind hybrid of a saison and brown ale with a hint of fruit as a kicker.

Mast Landing Gunner’s Daughter

Gunner’s Daughter pours dark brown with an ample light brown head. Huge aroma of peanut butter with some dark chocolate as well. There is a big, rich dark mouthfeel. Tastes like a homemade peanut butter cup. There’s tons of flavor squeezed into a low ABV beer.

Allagash Cuvee d’Industrial 2017

Allagash Cuvee d’Industrial has a dark golden to amber appearance. The aroma gives off mild malt and is vinous but let’s you know this is a sour! (7 out of 10 on the sour scale.) The sweetness may come from the red wine and Sauterne barrels included in the 24 barrel blend. There is a hint of Brett funk on the nose. Alternating tart/sour and sweet/vinous notes help make d’Industrial on of Allagash’s best sours.

Liquid Riot Cuckoo for Coconuts

Cuckoo for Coconuts is a dark brown porter, has a fantastic aroma of vanilla, coconut and dark chocolate. The taste of coconut is not prominent but is shared with sweet and dark chocolate, vanilla, graham cracker and a hint of coffee. Cuckoo for Coconuts is crazy-delicious and very drinkable.
