The spirits shelf
From the classics to the new.
Four shelves anchor the room: bourbon, tequila, amaro, and gin. Each one runs from names you already trust to small producers worth meeting, chosen with the same lens we use for wine. Real people, honest making, bottles we would pour at our own table.
The first shelf
Bourbon.
The everyday pours earn their place next to small distilleries and limited runs. We taste before we buy, and the shelf changes as good bottles find us.
If you collect, keep reading. The allocated names live behind the counter.
Agave
Tequila.
Blancos with real agave character, reposados with patience, and nothing made in bulk. We look for producers who farm their own fields and leave the additives out.
After dinner
Amaro.
The Italian way of ending an evening. Herbal, rooty, bitter in the best sense, some bracing and some gentle. Tell us what you like after dinner and we will match one to it.
The clear shelf
Gin.
From Tanqueray and the proven classics to a new guard doing strange, lovely things with their botanicals. Both belong here.
Some nights call for a correct martini. Some call for a surprise.
Blanton's, Stagg, Weller 12, Eagle Rare 10.
Hard to find
Ask about the bottles in the back.
Stagg. Blanton's. The bourbons people hunt for never last long on an open shelf, so the allocated bottles stay behind the counter and come out for the people who ask.
If you have been chasing something for a while, say so. Allocations move, and we keep a good memory for who is waiting on what.
And the rest
A small list. A long conversation.
The four shelves are the spine, not the whole story. There is mezcal, a short Japanese shelf, aperitifs for golden hour, and a rotating cast of one-offs worth a look on your way to the counter.
If what you want is not on the floor, ask. We have patience for the chase.
