Weekly Catalog Update for 6/20

PLCB spirits catalog changes for the week of June 20th:

New in-store and online products:

• Boomsma Jonge Genever Gin Holland 750ML (#030704, Online, $27.99)
• Comandon Cognac VSOP 750ML (#030578, Online, $38.99)
• Comandon Cognac XO 750ML (#030579, Online, $135.99)

If Bols Genever and Anchor Genevieve are too "malty" for you, Boomsma might be more your style. It's less aggressive, a bit sweeter, and a few dollars cheaper.

Comandon continues its march into PA, with the VSOP and XO expressions hitting the online store following the arrival of the VS in stores in May. Tasting Panel Magazine thinks this brand is going to be hot stuff in 2011, and they rated the XO a 96.

Products back in stock online:

• Four Roses Single Barrel Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 750ML (#010880, Online, $39.99)

This fine specimen of a bourbon has proved to be a popular product in specialty spirits stores across the state. If you can't find it near you, it's again available online.

Delisted SLO products:

• Margaritaville Tropical Tangerine 750 ML (#065642, SLO, $13.49)
• Talisker Scotch 18 Year 750 ML (#513057, SLO, $64.99)

Reactivated SLO products:

• Berentzen Apple Schnapps 750 ML (#512435, SLO, $19.99)
• Laphroaig Cairdeas Single Malt Scotch 12 Year Old 750 ML (#513098, SLO, $62.69)
• Skyy Passion Fruit Vodka Infusion 1 L (#067272, SLO, $20.89)

Southern tells me that the 2011 edition of Laphroaig Cairdeas is being made officially available in the US for the first time. Pennsylvania is one of only nine states receiving any. Contrary to what I said a couple weeks ago, there will actually be 300 bottles available for PA. Some of it might go to the online store but that hasn't been decided yet.

New SLO products:

• Danny Devitos Lemoncello 750 ML (#513470, SLO, $26.69)
• Glen Scotia 12 Year Single Malt Scotch 750 ML (#513499, SLO, $75.99)
• Hirsch 20 Year Rye Whiskey 750 ML (#513506, SLO, $63.99)
• Hirsch Straight Bourbon Small Batch 28 Year 750 ML (#513497, SLO, $474.99)
• Kalani Coconut Liqueur 750 ML (#513498, SLO, $24.49)
• Lucid Absinthe Superieure 750 ML (#513502, SLO, $74.99)
• Old Potrero Straight Rye Whiskey 750 ML (#513500, SLO, $69.99)
• Patron Tequila Anejo 1.75 L (#513471, SLO, $132.19)

A few more Preiss Imports products were put on SLO. Kalani Coconut Liqueur is, without a doubt, the most delicious coconut liqueur I've ever tasted. It's vibrant and true to the nut without being cloying or artificial. In addition, the availability of Old Potrero Rye should make a few folks happy--it's in such high demand that it's nearly impossible to find any.
