PaQuí, which means “to be happy” in the native Aztec language, is a new tequila handcrafted in small batches in the town of Tequila, Mexico, where its master distiller uses an elaborate process called selective distillation to create its distinctive flavor. This process separates the heart of the distillation and selects the superior flavors and aromas, creating a pure, crisp, aromatic tequila ($35 to $50). PaQuí Tequila is the brainchild of Dr. Javier Martinez, founder and president of Tequila Holdings, Inc., owner of PaQuí Luxury Tequila. Martinez spent years researching and developing the new tequila, which he believes will appeal specifically to the American consumer with its refined flavor and aroma.

Single-malt scotch maker The Glenlivet will release its newest cellar collection in June. This scotch comes from its three best 1973 casks and is the eighth release of Glenlivet’s Cellar Collection.

The Glenlivet 1973 Cellar Collection is an extremely rare whisky, thanks not only to its age, but also to its cask profile. The whisky was selected from one single ex-sherry butt and two refilled American oak hogsheads, which represented the absolute pinnacle of the stock available from Glenlivet’s 1973 vintage. The result is a rich, fruity expression, bursting with orange flavors, sherry sweetness and gingerbread. Perfectly balanced, it fills the mouth and has an incredibly long and sweet finish. One for the connoisseur, it’s available only in strictly limited numbers. Like all the expressions from the Cellar Collection, it’s the liquid embodiment of a moment in history – a time capsule for the taste buds.

Wine enthusiasts, mark your calendars for March 20th! The date marks the Sotheby’s New York sale of the collection of Lloyd Flatt, whose compilation of rare Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne is set to sell for more than $600,000. Flatt, who passed away in January 2008, was “a legendary figure who hosted some of the most exciting tastings held in America,” says Serena Sutcliffe, Sotheby’s worldwide head of wine. Flatt held the belief that wine was to be drunk, not collected, and his tastings were highly regarded as he often opened the best bottles in his New Orleans cellar, completely gratis, for anyone who was around to drink with him.

Highlights of the collection include a 1959 Château Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux, estimated between $20,000 and $30,000; 12 bottles of Château Haut-Brion Blanc Bordeaux, estimated between $10,000 and $15,000; and a 1990 Louis Roederer Cristal Millennium Mathusalem, estimated between $10,000 and $15,000. But the auction is more than an assembly of fascinating wines, Sutcliffe remarks. “If ever a collection were a reflection of the individuality and character of the collector, this amazing array of wines is the perfect example.”
