WARMING FALL SPIRITS

 

Revelstoke Spiced Whisky

 

Distilled from Canadian prairie wheat and rye, aged and infused with spices and natural flavours. Modelled on Spiced Rum, essences of vanilla, camphor and cherry dominate. 

 

DID YOU KNOW that nearly one third of all rum sold in North America has had spices added? If adding spices worked with rum, some distillers gambled that adding spices to whisky would similarly spice up whisky sales.

Greetings!peter headshot

 

No denying fall is here now - darker mornings, cooler evenings, fuller whites and richer beers. We had a great late summer of BBQs and patio wines, but I'm now looking forward to welcoming in fall with warming sippers and HOCKEY.

We have some great October sales and contests in effect, and I've highlighted a few of them in this newsletter. The best way to keep up-to-date on new releases and promotions is through Twitter and Facebook, as well as the Specials page of our website.

Remember - this newsletter is only for our valued Loyalty Club Members, and will provide you with exclusive product notes and promotions. 

I hope you enjoy the information. As always, please feel free to forward a copy of this newsletter to friends and family that may not know about us yet. We look forward to seeing you in store soon.

Sincerely,

Peter Heemskerk

Each month we ask our store managers and senior product consultants to share their top tips and best buys with our Loyalty Club Subscribers.

 

Paul - Manager, Pipers Liquor Express
EVOHE Bajo Aragon Garnacha

 

This is an outstanding example of a Spanish wine producer using very traditional winemaking methods to produce a modern, fruit-forward, easy drinking and delicious wine. Soft, smooth, ripe raspberry with spicy violet notes - great balance. $19.99.

 

Lisa - Manager, Yates Street Liquor Express
Chocolan Merlot 

 

One of my favourite Merlots! This dry Chilean red exhibits a beautiful earthy quality, with ripe, dark berry on the nose and flavours of mocha on the finish. Amazing value for the price. $14.99.

 

Sean - Manager, Keating Liquor Express

Red Stripe Jamaican Lager

 

One of my favourite import beers, this stubby bottled lager has a fresh, clean taste and a full hop finish. Like sitting on a sunny beach! 6 pack $13.69.

 

Easha - Manager, Harris Green Liquor Express
Therapy Vineyards Alter Ego

 

This BC white blend has honey, melon and orange notes on the nose and palate, with flecks of citrus and lees. Moderate oak lends to mid-palate fatness and a creamy mouthfeel. Solid. $28.30.

 

Cindy - Product Consultant, Esquimalt Liquor Express

Stoked Vodka

 

This refreshing quadruple distilled vodka from Alberta blends well with any mix, and is also smooth enough to enjoy just on the rocks. The original spirit is infused with hemp extract. $31.99.

 

Helen - Manager, Tillicum Liquor Express

Sky Ginger Vodka

 

This new vodka will appeal to the ginger lover. It packs quite a punch - strongly infused with fresh ginger (and great with Asian cuisine!) Serve it straight up from the freezer, or with a couple of squeezes of fresh lime. $27.29

 

Sarah - Product Consultant, Tillicum Liquor Express

Apothic Red

 

This is a delicious full bodied Californian red for any beginner or devoted taster. Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot blend to sweet and rich berry, vanilla, coffee and chocolate flavours - a great accompaniment to a great night. $18.69
