New spirits to watch this week!

Cirka, in our opinion, is a Montreal distillery in a class of its own and this rye whiskey produced in small batch is no exception! This spirit contains 93% Quebec rye and 7% rye malt German Chocolate, then it was aged for four years (!) in 30-year-old Oloroso sherry casks imported directly from Spain (!!!). It reveals pleasant notes of sweet spices, aromas of leather and dried fruit. This whiskey isn’t often available on the shelves, and considering all the time and work behind the bottles, it’s a mind-blowing spirit. A favorite every time! Available ici at $85.50. We try it in cocktails: It is considered a spirit to be sipped, but it can be enjoyed with mixers high-end if you don’t want to drink it straight. Excellent in Boulevardier by substituting Campari for sherry!
