PRODUCER
Fratelli Branca Distillerie Milan, Italy
Fernet-Branca was formulated in Milan in 1845 by self- taught herbalist Bernardino Branca. It was initially marketed as a cure for cholera and for menstrual cramps. The brand soon gained popularity, leading to the founding of the Fratelli Branca Distillery. Fratelli Branca invested in extensive advertising campaigns including the creation of calendars with artworks from famous artists in 1886. The brand’s famous eagle-and- globe logo was designed in 1893 by Leopoldo Metlicovitz.
In 1907, Fratelli Branca began exporting their fernet
to Argentina. Eventually the drink became so popular there that Fratelli Branca established a distillery in
1925 in Buenos Aires. In the United States the drink became popular after the passage of prohibition laws in 1919, with it sold in pharmacies as a medicinal product. By 1936 Branca had set up a branch office in Tribeca, New York to satisfy American demand. The popularity
of the drink in America continued into the 1960s, with production peaking at 60,000 cases in 1960.
San Francisco consumes roughly 35% of the total volume of Fernet-Branca that is imported into the United States.
This being from the 1960s, it is in incredible condition.

1960S ZUCCA RABARBARO
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 1 L | 16% ABV | 32 PF
PRODUCER
ILLVA Saronno, S.p.A Saronno, Italy
The recipe for Zucca Rabarbaro dates to 1845 when a doctor prescribed rhubarb and medicinal herbs to Tilde Zucca to aid her digestion. Her husband Ettore decided to add alcohol to the concoction. It became quite popular in cafes as an aperitif in Milan among other European cities. In the early 1900s, a descendant of Ettore, Carlo, established the Zucca Company to bring the product to shelves. Rabarbaro is Italian for “rhubarb” and is the only disclosed ingredient by the brand. The rhubarb root is sourced from the Gansu province in China.
Zucca is owned by the same company that produces Amaretto Di Saronno. Despite this, it is difficult to find commercially in North America. However, it enjoys a certain amount of prominence as the featured drink at the Caffè Zucca in Milan, the bar where Gaspare Campari first introduced his alcoholic infusion of herbs in the 1860s.
This 1960s bottling showcases the original label and proof before the company changed their packaging in the mid-2010s in addition to raising the proof from 32 to 60.

1875 D’OLIVEIRA
MALVAZIA FRASQUEIRA, MADEIRA 750 ML | 20% ABV | 40 PF
PRODUCER Pereira D’Oliveira Madeira, Portugal
D’Oliveiras is an independent Madeira wine producer, located in Funchal on the island’s south coast. It was founded in 1850 by Joao Pereira d’Oliveira and today is well-known for having an expansive library of old and rare Madeiras from the family’s São Martinho vineyards.
The cellar boasts vintages of Verdelho dating back to the company’s founding in 1850 as well as Malmsey, Bual and Sercial wines dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Madeiras are aged in cask at D’Oliveira’s cellars, which were built in 1619, and produces some 150,000 liters of wine annually. Wines aged up to 10 years go through the Estufagem process, where the wine is heated in steel tanks to give it the characteristic caramelized flavor. The best wines, those aged for more than 15 years, are heated in barrels in warm, sun-drenched buildings. This is known as the Canteiro process.
D’Oliveiras produces three-, five-, ten- and 15-year-old Madeiras, but the company’s best Madeiras are rare, high-quality wines aged for a minimum of 20 years. Bottling is only done according to demand which allows D’Oliveira the ability to age and mature Madeiras in cask for the longest possible amount of time.
Today, the company is run by 5th generation family members Aníbal D’Oliveiras and Luís D’Oliveiras.

1960 OLD FORESTER
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 4/5QT | 43% ABV | 86PF
PRODUCER
Brown-Forman Corporation Louisville, Kentucky
When the product was introduced in 1870, bottles of Old Forester were sealed to guard against adulteration and substitution of the contents and were initially sold in pharmacies as a medicinal product. The innovation introduced with Old Forester was not that it was available in such bottles, but that it was the first bourbon to be exclusively available in this fashion – providing a greater level of assurance of quality for that brand relative to other products in the market.
George Garvin Brown became sole owner by 1902,
and although Brown–Forman is now a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, the Brown family still controls more than 70% of the voting shares (as of 2010).
Until Prohibition in the United States began in 1920, Old Forester was the leading brand produced by Brown’s company. The company was granted one of the few government licenses to produce medical whiskey, at which time the product became a straight bourbon at 100 proof (previously it had been a blended product).
This 1960 decanter was designed by industrial art icon Raymond Loewy. Some of these bottles had hollow stopper caps so that, when inverted, the top would fill with the whiskey inside.
COLOR Deep, dark amber
NOSE Sweet caramel, vanilla bean, pepper, earthy rye, warm toasted oak, black cherry, orange peel

1985 BLANTONS
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 750 ML | 40% ABV | 80 PF
PRODUCER
Buffalo Trace Distillery, courtesy of The Sazerac Company Frankfort, Kentucky
Blanton’s bourbon was named in honor of one of the distillery’s early leaders, Albert B. Blanton, who the company claims spent most of his life preserving the tradition of handcrafted bourbon. Blanton worked at the facility now known as the Buffalo Trace Distillery for approximately 55 years. He was born and raised
on a farm just outside Frankfort, Kentucky, and he began working at the distillery (then called the O.F.C. Distillery) in 1897 as an office boy when he was 16 years old. Over the next few years, he reportedly worked
in every department, and in 1912 he was appointed superintendent of the distillery, its warehouse, and bottling shop – at the same time that the distillery was renamed to become the George T. Stagg Distillery. He became president of the whiskey plant in 1921. Blanton died in 1959.
Elmer T. Lee, the originator of Blanton’s, was hired by the distillery by Blanton in 1949. He introduced the Blanton’s brand in 1984, a year before he retired, as the first modern brand of bourbon marketed as single barrel bourbon. Lee continued to act as an ambassador for Buffalo Trace until his death in 2013.
This 1988 bottling showcases the early days of the brand, originating just four years prior. The neck label, saying Blanton instead of Blanton’s coincides with the timeline of 1987-1990.

PRODUCER
Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., Ltd. Tokyo, Japan
The founder, Masataka Taketsuru, travelled to Scotland in 1918 to learn the process of distilling Scotch whisky first hand. He studied organic chemistryunder Prof. T. S. Patterson at the University of Glasgow and malt whisky production at the Hazelburn distillery, in Campbeltown near the Mull of Kintyre. He married Jessie Roberta “Rita” Cowan, the daughter of a Glasgow doctor, and returned with her to Japan in 1920. In 1923 he joined Kotobukiya (currently Suntory) and helped to establish a distillery before starting Nikka in 1934.
After their deaths, the company was run by their adoptive son, Takeshi Taketsuru, who expanded its business substantially.
The company operates a number of distilleries and other facilities in Japan, including two Japanese whisky distilleries, the Yoichi distillery in Yoichi, Hokkaidō (established in 1934), and the Miyagikyo distillery in Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Northern Honshū (established in 1969). It also owns the Ben Nevis Distillery (acquired in 1989) in Scotland.

1980S SUNTORY WHISKY “ROYAL” JAPANESE BLENDED WHISKY
750 ML | 43% ABV | 86 PF
PRODUCER
Suntory Holdings Limited Distillery Yamazaki, Kyoto, Japan
Suntory was started by Shinjiro Torii, who first opened his store Torii Shōten, in Osaka on February 1, 1899,
to sell imported wines. In 1907, the store began selling
a fortified wine called Akadama Port Wine (Akadama literally meaning “red ball,” a euphemism for the sun). Torii built Japan’s first malt whisky distillery Yamazaki Distillery. Production began in December 1924 and five years later Suntory Whisky Shirofuda (White Label), the first single malt whisky made in Japan, was sold.
n 1963, Kotobukiya changed its name to “Suntory”, taken from the name of the whisky it produces, which itself was derived from the English “Sun” (referencing “akadama”) + Tory, the anglicized version of Torii’s name.
In January 2014, Suntory announced an agreement to buy the largest U.S. bourbon producer, Beam Inc. (producers of Jim Beam) for US$16 billion. This deal would make Suntory the world’s third largest spirits maker. The acquisition was completed in April 2014, when it was announced that Beam would be renamed Beam Suntory.
This early 1980s bottling is incredibly rare. Due to the design of the bottle, this is a very popular gift in Japan as it is meant to echo the design of the Imperial House of the Japanese Royal Family. This was the brands highest- grade blended whisky prior to the release of Hibiki.

25-YEAR-OLD ANNIVERSARY MALT DISTILLED IN 1975, BOTTLED IN 2000 750 ML | 43% ABV | 86 PF
PRODUCER
The Macallan Distillery
Easter Elchies, Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland
The company was originally founded in 1824, the Macallan Scotch whiskey being one of the first distillers in Scotland having legal license for manufacturing and selling alcohol. Since then, the distillery has grown to be one of the largest single malt whiskey manufacturers in the world.
The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and a teacher. The name Macallan is derived from Gaelic word ‘magh’, which means ‘a fertile land’, and ‘Ellan’ that honors St. Fillan’, a monk who spread Christianity in Scotland during the 18thcentury.
During the subsequent years, Macallan distillery passed through different owners. It was named as Elchies distillery, named after a nearby estate, which adopted the company until 1980. Macallan distillery had a stable business when Roderick Kemp took over the distillery in 1892 and remained in control until 1994, when a Japanese company named Suntory and the Highland Distillers Group took over the ownership. Then in 1999, the Edrington Group, who currently owns the distillery took over.
In 2008, The Macallan Distillery increased its production capacity by installing a second production house and
a few warehouses were also made. Macallan has been providing the world with best class products. Today, the Macallan Scotch whiskey is the world’s fifth most-selling whiskey brand.

1940, JANNEAU
GRAND ARMAGNAC, 30 YEARS OLD 750 ML | 40% ABV | 80 PF
PRODUCER
Maison Janneau et Fils Cie Condom-en-Armagnac, Gers, France
Maison Janneau et Fils Cie in the Gers region is the oldest of the large houses of Armagnac. It was founded in the town of Condom by Pierre Etienne Janneau
in 1851. Four generations of the Janneau family have followed, passing down the secret of Grand Armagnac from father to son. Maison Janneau is one of the leading producers that carry out the distillation, aging, and bottling of its production fully in the region of origin, the AOC Armagnac.
At the House of Janneau, they have been blending since the late 1970’s the spirits obtained from both methods to create their assemblages, a characteristic which distinguishes our Armagnacs from all others. There are two very different distillation methods consented by statute for the distillation of Armagnac. The most common is Continuous Distillation, which uses a
unique column still, also called Armagnaçais, extracts vigorously, aromatic brandies, rich in essential oils.
In 1972 Janneau reintroduced the Double Distillation method to the Region, which was the original method of distillation in alembic before the limitations imposed in 1903.
This 1940s bottling of a 30-year-old distillate would put the age of the spirit at roughly 110 years old.

1940S HENNESSY COGNAC ‘BRAS ARMÉ’ THREE-STAR 25.5 FL OZ | ABV UNKNOWN
PRODUCER
Jas Hennessy & Co.
LVMH, Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy
The Hennessy cognac distillery was founded by Irish Jacobite military officer Richard Hennessy in 1765, who had served in the army of Louis XV. In 1813 Richard Hennessy’s son James Hennessy gave the company
its trading name, Jas Hennessy & Co. He was also responsible for choosing Jean Fillioux as the house’s Master Blender. A member of the Fillioux family has occupied the role ever since, a relationship that has lasted eight generations and more than 250 years.
The V.S.O.P. designation was first applied in 1817, when the Prince Regent (later King George IV) of Britain asked Hennessy to create a “very superior old pale” cognac, a description that had previously been applied to sherries. Maurice Hennessy, the grandson of Richard Hennessy, then introduced a star-based classification of cognac qualities in 1865, which remained the industry standard of cognac age designation until the 1960s. Maurice Hennessy also created the XO (“extra old”) designation in 1870, for cognacs which had undergone prolonged cask maturation.
In 1971 Killian Hennessy spearheaded the company’s merger with Moët et Chandon, to create Moët Hennessy. Moët Hennessy then announced a merger with Louis Vuitton in 1987, creating the world’s largest luxury brand conglomerate, Louis Vuitton • Moët-Hennessy or LVMH.
This 1940s bottling is referred to as the “Bras Armé” after the logo used by Hennessy since its inception.

ORGANIC TEA SELECTION
LEAVES AND FLOWERS
Leaves and Flowers is a California based tea company offering a unique selection of handcrafted botanical infusions and premium small batch teas.
All infusions and teas are loose leaf and sustainably grown and harvested.
BLACK
GOLDEN HORSE
HONEY ◆ CARAMEL ◆ CRème brulÉE
A soft and smooth black tea with natural lingering sweetness. Golden Horse is a single pluck, spring tea from Yunnan. The leaves have a beautiful coppery color and infuse into an amber hued liquor.
CHAI ASSAM
RICH ◆ SPICY ◆ SWEET
Small beads of bold Assam are blended
with potent and aromatic spices.
GREEN
YIN HAO JASMINE
SWEET ◆ SMOOTH ◆ FRAGRANT
The fresh jasmine blossoms are scattered over the tea leaves in such a way that the tea absorbs the aromatics of the flowers.
BOTANICAL
IKEBANA
FLORAL ◆ PEPPERY ◆ SWEET
Named after the Japanese art of flower arrangement, Ikebana is a true summer bouquet. It is composed of our favorite California flowers, and though delicate, it has an elegant structure and body that persists with multiple steeps.
TROPIC GARDEN
TART ◆ CURRANT ◆ MULLED WINE
Hibiscus and lemongrass come together with star anise to create a flavor reminiscent of spiced mulled wine.
SWEET RUSH
FLORAL ◆ LEMON◆ WARMING
A reissue of one of our original infusions, Sweet Rush is a fragrant and uplifting blend that is both bright and grounding.
This tea highlights a new and special lemongrass that we’ve sourced from the mountains of North Carolina.
WHITE
AGED WHITE PEONY
MELON ◆ HONEY WINE ◆ HAY
This unique white tea has been aged for 14 years
in a tea cave in California. It has qualities of un-aged Bai Mu Dan, but with a richer flavor, due to the continued oxidation of the leaves.
