Beefeater Wet Gin was discontinued by Beefeater several years ago; I guess Southern just got around to pulling the code.

Berentzen Pear and the Woodford Barrel Buy are still available under other codes.

Relisted:

• Cafe Boheme Liqueur 750 ML (#009561, Closeout, $12.99)

• Vox Apple Flav Vodka 80pf 750 ML (#009762, Closeout, $14.99)

Gran Centenario Añejo is the only Gran Centenario bottling that I like in the least. I feel like Sauza could do better with their upmarket line.

There are some interesting in-store releases here. Ardbeg 10yr, one of my favorite scotches, is finally available on shelves. Nice to see another Islay in stores.

Bacardi seems to be working overtime to come up with new flavors for their rum. After their dragonfruit/strawberry flavor released last year, they have a new flavor out, Torched Cherry. It's made from Barbados cherries and...aloe. No, really. Aloe. I wonder how they came up with that one.

Two of the Nardini grappas showed up in the online store, both of which are highly rated by Wine Enthusiast. Bortolo Nardini is a household name in Italy, producing many of the traditional spirits that Italians consider quintessential to their culinary culture. It's good to see their products becoming available in Pennsylvania.

Two of Haus Alpenz's newer spirits, Smith & Cross rum and Rothman & Winter Cherry Liqueur, are now available by SLO. The Smith & Cross is quite an amazing product--it replicates a traditional Jamaican rum style that hasn't been available in this country for decades. The importer has a fascinating, in-depth description of the style they're trying to recreate. All rum enthusiasts should try this stuff.
