It's important to stop and celebrate life's milestones, big and small. Named one of the Richest Pours of 2016 by Forbes, this is an extra-aged tequila created to mark the 60th anniversary of Don Julio's first distillery in Jalisco, La Primavera. Produced in small batches, Don Julio 1942 is one of the most highly sought-after and exquisite Mexican tequilas. The process begins by hand-selecting Agave plants that take seven to ten years to mature. The Agave is then slowly roasted for 70 hours in traditional masonry ovens and double distilled in a special alambique. This limited edition Tequila is crafted from the finest Agave and aged until it reaches the most extraordinary levels of flavor and character - a tribute to Don Julio Gonzalez's epic journey and a fitting way to commemorate yours, at each step of the way.
Hey girl. Sorry you had a bad day - let me make you a luxury skinny margarita and you can tell me all about it. If you're lucky enough to be married to a smooth Baby Goose all your own, you've got it made - and if he's still learning the ropes, help him on his way to making simple, everyday things mean more starting with this top-shelf bottle of silver tequila in your home bar. Using the finest raw agave and a time honored distillation process, Don Julio Blanco has crisp, clean grapefruit and citrus flavors with subtle hints of pepper and grass - perfect over ice with just a little simple syrup and lime juice, maybe a rim of spicy salt. Tequila cocktails first, offering to help you make all your Pinterest project come true is next.
It's the first perfect spring day, and you're on cloud wine. Don't let soggy bottles rain on your parade. A wall of air will keep your whites just right for up to 3 hours, no melting ice required.
Just a whisper, that's how you order your favorite drink from your favorite craft cocktail bar. Using the finest French wheat and the same spring water that makes Cognac, cellar master Francois Thibault has created a "field to bottle" top shelf vodka using the same exacting standards and tasting notes as France's winemakers. This smooth, subtly complex vodka is the perfect choice for any sophisticated vodka cocktail served in a stemmed glass: a Vodka Martini, a Cosmopolitan, a Gimlet, or a Vesper.
Having a million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars. High rollers everywhere know this is the real deal, true blue Scotch for times that call for celebrating: startup wins, exits, IPOs, red carpets, and just generally being an everyday baller. A self-made man himself, Johnnie Walker took his $417 inheritance when his father died in 1820 and turned it into the High Street store that became the pinnacle of whisky blending innovation. Blue Label is the top shelf blend personally created by master distiller James Beveridge to celebrate the 19th century style of whiskies produced by Johnnie and his son Alexander Walker that originally made the House of Walker famous around the world. Smooth, gold medal winning, subtly sweet and an absolute game-changer in your whisky drinking experience. Plus, you know, for luck: something new, something old, something borrowed, something BLUE.
Just like Ron Swanson, you know Lagavulin by it's official name: "Mother's Milk." One of the most awarded and critically acclaimed Single Malts of all time, Lagavulin has been known for its slow distillation and pear-shaped pot stills since 1816. Sitting on the coast of Kidalton, "in the hollow by the mill" as it translates in Gaelic, Lagavulin is known for being less peaty than neighbors like Laphroaig — partly because it's aged in bourbon barrels, so it has more of that vanilla, honey, and fruit. Offered by Diageo and part of its Classic Malts lineup, the 16-year is Lagavulin's entry level bottle and a collector's favorite. Do like they do on the floor of the malting room every September and open this bottle while listening to some live music, gently dancing the night away and singing right along.
Hipsters, cowboys, and urban yuppies alike love this Austin-made classic vodka with a conscience. As the first legal distillery in Texas since Prohibition, Tito Beveridge (real name!) and his team have been making their gluten-free "Vodka for Dog People" since 1997, when Tito opened the Southeast Austin distillery with his canine bestie DogJoe at his side and the team soon after started adopting a constantly evolving roster of "Distillery Dogs," strays who wander up to the distillery and otherwise find themselves in residence as part of the team. Tito's regularly hosts fundraisers all acrosss the country to support animal rescues by uniting vodka lovers and dog lovers in doing good while having a good time - and now so can you, at home, just by using Tito's in your next batch of Bloody Mary's, Greyhounds, Salty Dogs, or other classic vodka cocktails.
