There are new bottles on the shelves in the Spirits section. They round out our offering, joining some excellent old favourites on the shelves. We think they are all worth checking out.
Breaking & Entering Bourbon (NEW):
- First, 80 barrels were obtained from a series of rickhouses in Kentucky. Then, the barrels were brought to the Bay Area.
- The result: a locally produced bourbon with a 5-7 year age range.
- The whiskey has a bright, young flavor profile, with great color (a hint of red), and notes of maple, cinnamon, cloves and cherry cola. For aficionados there is just a hint of banana.
- The cherry cola notes make this perfect for a Manhattan, but it's also great neat and on the rocks.
Woodford Reserve Bourbon (Favorite):
- This was one of the first hand-crafted, small batch bourbons to gain popularity. It's still one of the best. Even with the variations that come with small batch production, it delivers fantastic flavor at a very accessible price.
- The palate is firm and generous, with baking spice and a hint of marzipan. The nose has oak, and a little cigar-box cedar. Afterwards there is a serious finish, with some oak and nicely understated floral notes.
- Recent press reports indicate that Channing Tatum enjoys drinking Woodford Reserve. Castro Village Wine Company endorses anything that makes Mr. Tatum happy.
