We’ve got another great group of craft spirits to offer you this Thursday.

Virginia Black American Whiskey.

This whiskey is a personally selected collection of two, three and four-year old Bourbons finished with a decadent profile.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin.
A particularly dry gin with a zesty, citrus finish. The quintessential expression of a classic, traditional London Dry Gin. Bold, complex, and aromatic – smooth enough for a Martini, but rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T.

Don Q Signature Release Limited Edition 2005 Single Barrel Rum.
Aged for more than ten years, this rich and complex rum is the first single barrel release from Don Q.

Hochstadter’s Straight Rye Whiskey.
This is a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 15 years that are sourced from distillers across North America.

We’ve got a great collection of new beers today!

Three Taverns Inceptus.*
A Georgia wild ale.
“Atlanta called it “Snowpocalypse”, we called it “the perfect day for open fermentation”. As the city froze in December of 2013, we opened a fermenter to the cold, crisp air… and were rewarded with our own wild-caught yeast strain. Meet Inceptus [Latin for “beginning”], a spontaneously fermented wild ale of remarkable complexity. Imbued with our own wild Georgia yeast strain and matured for months in North Georgia wine barrels, this American sour will make you pucker with delight.” – Three Taverns

*This beer will be sold first come, first-served and will be limited to one bottle per customer.*

Wicked Weed Pacificmost a mango & guava gose and Wicked Weed Pompoen a rum barrel aged pumpkin sour ale with ginger.

Highland Mandarina.
This beers name pays homage to the German Mandarina Bavaria hops that it’s brewed with. It’s also brewed with Hull Melon hops and American oranges. Full beer details here.

Red Hare Barrel Aged Sticky Stout.
A local favorite with some added character.

Evil Twin Mission Gose (top), Imperial Biscotti Break (bottom left), Wet Dream (bottom middle), and Even More Jesus (bottom right).
Most of these beers should look familiar, but now they’re available in 4-packs of cans rather than the previous 22oz bottle offerings.

Terrapin So fresh & So Green, Green.
This fresh hop IPA has been available in years past, but this is its first appearance in 16oz cans.

Cheers,
-Aaron

We’ve got a solid list of new spirits to help you through the weekend.

Gordon & Macphail Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
This expression of Speymalt was distilled at the Macallan Distillery in 1998 and bottled in 2016. The whisky was aged in predominantly ex-Bourbon barrels and does not have the heavy sherry finish of a traditional Macallan whisky. What’s even more exciting is that this Scotch whisky is available at nearly half the price of a typical Macallan 18 year old. Learn more about Gordon & Macphail and their unique approach to whisky here.

Bozal Mezcal.
This spirit is distilled entirely from Tobasiche Agave which is a wild species that takes a minimum of 12 years to mature, and is characterized by its herbaceous aromatics and earthy finish. Read more about this exciting Mezcal here.

Kilchoman Sanaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The cask influence on this whisky is approximately 25% Bourbon and 75% Oloroso Sherry and is balanced with a traditional Islay peat smoke.
Check out all of Kilchoman’s whiskys here.

John Emerald Distilling Elizabeth Vodka.
Elizabeth vodka is produced in Opelika, Alabama and is a corn based vodka that is triple filtered to create a smooth and elegant spirit.

Prichard’s Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka.
If you are a fan of Prichard’s Bomade Lemonade Vodka then this newest installation is right up your alley.

Weyerbacher Sunday Molé Stout.
A short description from its creators, “This brew captures everything you’d expect from a traditional molé – coffee, chocolate, heat and smokiness. Foremost is coffee, which is followed by layers of chocolate courtesy of the chocolate malt, cocoa powder and cacao nibs. Finally, a subtle lingering heat and smokiness from our blend of ancho, pasilla, mulato and chipotle peppers, as well as cinnamon, which is gone by the time you’re ready for your next sip.”

Boulder Beer Company Hazed a hoppy session ale.
A hoppy, unfiltered amber ale that’s a great companion for a relaxing afternoon.

Just in time for the Georgia Tech football kickoff in Ireland Jameson’s limited edition Cooper’s Croze Irish whiskey has arrived.

Jameson Cooper’s Croze Irish whiskey.

Words from its creators, “Our 5th generation Head Cooper, Ger Buckley, knows everything there is to know about wood, casks, butts and barrels. To celebrate his passion for Coopering, we have created The Cooper’s Croze, the first of the Whiskey Makers Series to launch in the U.S. Focusing on the profound influence the wood yields on a whiskey’s character, The Cooper’s Croze uses virgin American oak, seasoned bourbon and Iberian sherry barrels.”

Tasting Notes:
This non chill filtered whiskey effortlessly carries the charred virgin oak character with vanilla sweetness from the seasoned bourbon barrels and rich fruit flavors and a fine balance of floral and spice notes from the sherry barrels.

Papa’s Pilar Blonde and Dark Rums.

These rums were both inspired and endorsed by Ernest Hemingway, and here is a small excerpt from their producer, “Hemingway’s love for the Caribbean is well known. He spent months of his life traveling between Key West and Cuba on his beloved Pilar, collecting a wide array of friends and experiences. Papa’s Pilar^TMcaptures this same spirit, bringing together rums from throughout the Caribbean, Florida and Central America and blending them into a single pour.”
