Whiskey of the Week

Hibiki Harmony

September 30 - October 6

Inspired by the riches and subtleties of Japan's 24 seasons and mastered by Suntory's Art of Blending, Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a meticulous blend of the finest select whiskies from the House of Suntory Whisky. American White Oak malt whiskies create a solid base. The rare Mizunara (Japanese oak) and sherry cask malt whiskies are the dressing.The smoky malt whiskies enact as subtle accents to create depth and further complexity. Hibiki is embraced as the paragon of the Art of Japanese Whisky. It is not only Japan's most highly awarded blended whisky, but also among the most and honored whiskies in the world.

COCKTAIL: "Fall Highball" - Hibikui Harmony, Suntory Toki, Macintosh Apple Reduction

Compass Box Spice Tree

October 7 - October 13

A long time ago, Compass Box created a rich, bold Scotch whisky called The Spice Tree. Unfortunately, due to its avant garde method of oak-aging, they were compelled by the powers that be to discontinue production. Undeterred, they worked with cooper friends in both France and Scotland to develop a new, hybrid oak cask that would allow us to achieve similar results, but in a way that would be acceptable to even the most conservative of observers. Et voila, THE SPICE TREE was resurrected – matured using a custom-made cask with French oak for the heads and American oak for the bodies. 

COCKTAIL: "Penicillin" - Compass Box Spice Tree, Domaine Canton, Honey Syrup, Lemon Juice

Uncle Nearest 1884

October 14 - 20

Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey is a 93-proof whiskey distilled, aged and bottled entirely by Uncle Nearest. Each batch is curated by 5th generation Nearest Green descendant and our Master Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, who was named Master Blender of the Year by Whisky Magazine for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022 as well as receiving the same honor from The Spirits Business and Vinepair in 2021.

COCKTAIL: "Boulevardier" - Uncle Nearest 1884, Cinzano Sweet Vermouth, Select Aperitivo 

Nikka Coffey Grain

October 21 - 27

The Coffey still is the world’s first patented continuous still invented by Aeneas Coffey in 1830. While Masataka Taketsuru was staying in Scotland, he had an opportunity to learn how to distill grain whisky in a Coffey still firsthand from craftsmen at James Calder in Bo'ness in 1919. Masataka valued the feature of this type of still and installed two sets of Coffey stills after he established Nikka Whisky. The first still was imported from Scotland to Japan in 1963, followed by the second still in 1966. These traditional Coffey stills are not easy to operate and not efficient to obtain spirits. However, they retain flavors originating from ingredients and deliver a distinctive creamy texture.

COCKTAIL: "Autumn Sour" - Nikka Coffey Grain, Akashi White Oak Blended Honey-Orchid Syrup, Lemon Juice, Rose Water, Sage 

Woodford Rye

October 28 - November 3

Woodford Reserve Rye uses a pre-prohibition style ratio of 53% rye in its mash bill to pay homage to history’s original rye whiskeys, making spice and tobacco the dominant note among a sea of fruit, floral, and sweet aromatics, which yields a nice sweetness and overall balance. Our rye whiskey can deliver complex flavors – neat, on ice, or in a cocktail. A balanced rye makes a more balanced cocktail.

COCKTAIL: "Green Point" - Woodford Rye, Cinzano Sweet Vermouth, Yellow Chartreuse
