Orin Swift Papillon 2020
The dark crimson core and brick rim sets the stage, as aromas of currant, blackberry, blue fruits, anise, lavender and brioche float from the glass. Enveloping and coating becomes mixed berry pie, sarsaparilla, cola and blackcurrant with structured heft through the mid-palate. Chalky tannins a la black tea or baking chocolate round out the wine with a pleasing finish of sweet oak.
BLEND: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot & Petit Verdot
MATURATION: Aged 16 months in French oak, 52% new

Orin Swift Mercury Head 2021
An almost-black, opaque garnet core sits in the glass with slow-moving tears falling down the sides. Immediate aromatic notes of ripe cassis, charred ribeye, sandalwood and freshly cut oak pilfer ā breathe deeper for more. The first sip is a complex, layered conundrum of blackberry, black plum, fennel, licorice and dark chocolate. More sips peel back the layers to reveal a rich and balanced wine with a deep cassis core. A sweet linger on the finish closes the wine with softly textured chalky tannins.
BLEND: Cabernet Sauvignon
MATURATION: Aged 13 months in French Oak, 58% New

Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1977
For this second edition of 2 Glenfarclas Masters, Dictador presents us with a rum aged 45 years, a vintage of 1977 from a single ex-Bourbon barrel, the rum undergoes, for additional aging, a long finish of 49 months in barrels of Olorosso Sherry at Glenfarclas in Scotland under the supervision of Callum Fraser's cellar master.
- Nose: Cream soda sweetness that carries kaffir lime leaves and fresh pineapple. Some toasted coconut notes, backed with hazelnut and warming sherry. A cola note adds depth and complexity.
- Palate: Maple syrup at first which move to a more robust cedar note followed by earthy tones of treacle toffee. A malty note underpins the robust flavours which is also backed by cigar wrappers.
- Finish:Ā Red apples, toffee and some notes of light bonfire embers give this real death and complexity.

- Time of Finishing : 49 months
- Quantity : 254 bottles
Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1972
A 45-year-old Dictador Rum from a 1972 single vintage cask finished in fine port casks and then shipped to Glenfarclas in Scotland, where it further spent 7 months in a Glenfarclas 2002 third-fill Jerez Sherry cask. Bottled at 45% ABV.
- Nose: Undoubtedly a great old rum married into a superb whisky with very clear malted barley overtones, sherry notes and dried apricots over the sweeter smell of maple syrup, melted brown sugar and tropical fruits.
- Palate: The whisky somewhat fades into the background and gets overtaken by immensely rounded, rich liquid dried fruits with medjool dates, sun-dried raisins and acacia honey character, although without the sugar content, just pure aged rum. It kicks back in with incredible balance between the alcohol, fruit and acidity, going into a fabulous finish that just lingers for minutes once the āburnā is away and has notes of toffee, sweet tobacco and toasted coconut.
- Colour : A dark golden bronze with flashes of mahogany in the center out to a highly viscous light brass color in the glass.
- Matured in 3rd fill Olorosso Sherry Cask
- Time of Finishing : 7 months
- Quantity : 232 bottles
