Caribou Crossing is a new Canadian whisky from the folks at Buffalo Trace. Although Canadian whisky isn't usually seen as a serious competitor to high-end bourbons and scotches, a few producers are trying to break the mold and create a whisky with some real flavor. Caribou Crossing appears to live up to the challenge, judging by John Hansell's glowing review.
 
Elmer T. Lee is a close cousin of two other Buffalo Trace bourbons, Eagle Rare 10-year and Blanton's. If I remember correctly, all three labels come from the same mash and are aged in a similar location in the rickhouse. ETL was one of the few BT/Sazerac brands that wasn't on the shelf here, so I'm happy to see it show up.

Rhum J.M is a Martinique rhum producer; perhaps the best on the island. The level of control they exert over their production process, starting from the sugarcane cultivation in their private estate, could politely be described as "obsessive". The whole line of J.M rhums has BTI scores in the 90s. It's pricey stuff, but it's worth every penny. If you're a fan of the rhum agricole style, Google up some reviews and pick a bottling. Capital listed these with no minimum, so you have no excuse not to order.
