ARTIST COLLECTIVE AULTMORE 13 YO
A 2006 Aultmore single malt from French indie bottler La Maison du Whisky, matured in a first fill sherry butt for 13 years before being released as part of its Artist Collective series. Sweet aromas of apricots, almonds, quince, vanilla, toffee and nectarine fill the nose and will definitely guarantee a warm night by the fireplace after a long day surrounded by snow.
A great bottle to share with your ski buddies!

CHATEAU BRANAIRE-DUCRU, DULUC DE BRANAIRE-DUCRU
Duluc de Branaire-Ducru 2014 is a full-fledged wine in the Château Branaire-Ducru wine range, although it comes from the same vines. Indeed, the care and attention given to the vines and winemaking and the skills of the team are the same as those of the Grand Vin. With an important place given to Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, Duluc also has excellent aging potential, justifying its quirky release: more than 3 years after harvest. It is then an excellent gateway to the world of Grands Crus Saint-Julien.
To be enjoyed by the fireplace after a long winter day.

RESERVA DE LA FAMILIA EXTRA ANEJO
Extra Añejo from the world famous Jose Cuervo. The Reserva de la Familia is made entirely of tequila aged over three years in American and French oak barrels before it's bottled. The blue agave used is also harvested between seven and twelve years of growth, thought to represent peak maturity.
A great option for sipping and enjoying with friends during your winter getaway in the mountains.
