Cazcanes Añejo

TIME DOESN'T JUST CHANGE TEQUILA. IT ADDS DIMENSION.
Añejo tequila must mature in oak for at least one year.
During that time, oxygen slowly interacts with the spirit through the barrel, while compounds from the wood contribute aroma, color, and flavor.
The result can include layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts, baking spice, and chocolate.
Cazcanes Añejo brings together agave character and the complexity of barrel maturation.
And here's something worth knowing: darker tequila isn't automatically better tequila.
Color tells you something about the spirit, but it doesn't determine quality.
True craftsmanship is about balance, not simply age or color.

Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon

A truly exceptional Cabernet doesn't need to overpower your palate to make an impression.
Founded in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has become one of Napa Valley's celebrated names.
Its Cabernet Sauvignon showcases an important principle of fine w**emaking: power and elegance can coexist.
The 2022 Napa Valley bottling, for example, combines Cabernet Sauvignon with small portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, creating layers of dark fruit, spice, and structured tannins.
W**e lesson: A w**e labeled Cabernet Sauvignon in California does not necessarily contain 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Other permitted grape varieties can contribute softness, complexity, and balance.
Sophisticated, expressive, and beautifully suited to a special dinner.

Discover Duckhorn at The Liquor Hole.

St. Augustine The Saint — Florida's Old Fashioned in a Bourbon Barrel

🌴 FLORIDA DIDN'T JUST MAKE A BOURBON. IT GAVE THE OLD FASHIONED A SECOND LIFE.
We love finding wh***ey with a genuine Florida connection, and this one has a particularly creative story.
The Saint comes from St. Augustine Distillery, right here in the Sunshine State.
But what makes it special isn't simply where it's made.
The distillery selects mature Florida bourbon barrels and finishes the wh***ey in barrels previously used to hold its Old Fashioned Mix.
Yes. Old Fashioned Mix.
Those barrels have been exposed to citrus, sugar, and spice, and the remaining influence in the wood helps shape the bourbon's final character.
It's an unconventional approach to finishing, inspired by one of wh***ey's most celebrated cocktails.
🥃 Something many bourbon lovers may not know: A finishing barrel doesn't have to come from a w**ery or another distillery. Creative producers are exploring entirely different barrel histories.
Florida bourbon lovers: Would you try a wh***ey finished in an Old Fashioned Mix barrel?

📍 Find The Saint at The Liquor Hole in Nokomis.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE COCKTAIL IS...
The one you make at home after saying:
"We're saving money this weekend."
Then you buy olives, fancy ice, three mixers, fresh mint, two kinds of citrus, and a $14 jar of cherries.
Congratulations. You've opened a bar with one customer. 🍸
What's the most ridiculous cocktail ingredient you've ever purchased?

Seriously. Who hurt you?

Saturday mornings are sacred.

Some of us want to sleep in.

Some are already at the gym.

And some of us are awake because our bladder has apparently decided sleeping past 6 AM is no longer an option. 🤣

👇 WHAT WOKE YOU UP THIS MORNING?

A. Work
B. Kids or pets
C. My bladder
D. I haven't gone to bed yet 😳
