Weekly Catalog Update for 7/4

PLCB spirits catalog changes for the week of July 4th:

New in-store and online products:

• Cynar Artichoke Liqueur Italy 1.0L (#010925, Online, $22.99)
• Laphroaig Cairdeas Islay Single Malt Whisky Ileach 750ML (#030819, Online, $59.99)
• Peach Street Distillers Muscat Grappa 375ML (#030800, Online, $38.99)
• Peach Street Jack and Jenny Plum Eau de Vie 375ML (#030795, Online, $38.99)
• Peach Street Oak Aged Pear in the Bottle Brandy 750ML (#030798, Online, $84.99)

The online store received a few products from Peach Street Distillers, a quirky little outfit in Palisade, Colorado that also produces Tub Gin under contract. The grappa has received some recognition, but unfortunately I know nothing about their fruit brandy other than what's on their website.

Some Laphroaig Cairdeas made it into the online store, and in record time: nine days from vendor presentation to public availability. Fifteen cases were received, but if you want some, you'd better act fast--only nine states were allocated any Cairdeas at all, and the secondary market is hungry to move it to the other 41 states.

Cynar is now available online, although it has been stocked in specialty spirits stores for some time.

Mt Gay Eclipse Black is a new addition to the Mt Gay line, apparently intended to sit between the regular Eclipse and the XO. I guess they've taken a hint from Appleton, whose Reserve expression has found success as a mid-way point between Appleton V/X and Appleton Extra. Some info about the Eclipse Black can be found on this MoR thread.

We also have a new rum from Brugal, Brugal 1888, which is named after the year the distillery was founded. It is a mixture of older rums finished in sherry casks. Supposedly it is a "limited edition" bottling.

Our flavored vodka range gets even more outlandish this week--not only do we have another cake vodka, but Pinnacle's "Gummy" vodka takes the dessertification trend to new heights.
