Every bottle, and why it's in the kit.
Nothing in here is filler. Each one was picked by the people who stock our shelves, for a reason you can taste.
The finished bourbon
Filmland Moonlight Mayhem 2: Bourbon Casked in White Port 750ml
$59.99 on its ownA white-port finish is genuinely unusual and gives the whiskey a stone-fruit edge you cannot get from a standard bourbon.
The gin
Sweet Gwendoline French Gin 750ml
$39.99 on its ownA small-batch French gin with a softer, more floral profile than the London Dry style — which makes it far better neat and gentler in a Martini.
The reposado
Arette Artesanal Suave Reposado Tequila 700ml
$64.99 on its ownAdditive-free, from one of the oldest working distilleries in Tequila town. Rested in oak just long enough to sip without losing the agave.
Hand-picked from what's on our shelves right now. If something sells through we swap in an equal-or-better bottle and tell you before it ships.
The story
The difference isn't technique. It's the bottle.
Once you can make a sour and an Old Fashioned, the next jump in quality has almost nothing to do with your skill. A cocktail is mostly spirit, and no amount of careful shaking rescues a base that was built to disappear into a mixer.
So this kit trades every category up — without reaching for a bigger brand. The rum is Jamaican overproof from a distillery with a cult following among bartenders. The whiskey is a bourbon finished in white port casks, a treatment that normally carries a heavy premium. The tequila is artisanal Jalisco from a tiny operation still working traditionally.
The one deliberate swap: gin instead of vodka. Vodka is designed to disappear, which makes it the least interesting thing you can build a drink on. A good gin brings juniper, citrus and botanicals to the glass — it does work that the mixer would otherwise have to do alone. At this level that matters more than covering a category for its own sake.

Cheaper than the same bottles, one at a time.
No mystery discount. Here's exactly what each item costs on our shelf today, and what the bundle costs instead.
Someone already chose
The hard part of a bottle shop is the wall of labels. This is one decision instead of four, made by people who taste this stuff for a living.
It costs less than the parts
Every bundle is priced under the sum of its bottles at today's shelf price. The receipt on the left is the whole argument.
It gives well
A single bottle is a nice gesture. A themed set with the story of each bottle is a present — and it arrives ready to hand over.
One delivery, one signature
Local delivery or in-store pickup, all of it in one box. Someone 21+ signs once and you're done.
Four bottles, four upgrades.
An inch of each, neat
Before you mix anything, pour a small measure of all four and taste them side by side. This is the difference you paid for.
If a bottle isn't worth drinking neat, it shouldn't be your base spirit.The Old Fashioned
2 oz bourbon, a bar spoon of syrup, two dashes of bitters. Stir over one big cube, orange peel.
The white port cask gives it a dried-fruit lift most bourbons don't have.The Negroni
Equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and a bitter aperitivo. Stir, orange peel.
This is the drink vodka can't make. It's why the gin is here.Tommy's Margarita
2 oz reposado, 1 oz lime, 0.5 oz agave. No triple sec — let the tequila show.
Shaking an artisanal reposado is an extravagance. Do it once anyway.Good to know
Questions, answered.
How does delivery work?
We deliver locally and offer in-store pickup — the options you'll see at checkout depend on your address. As a New York package store we can't ship out of state, so delivery is limited to where we're licensed.
Do I have to be 21?
Yes. You must be 21 or older to buy, and an adult signature (21+) is required at delivery.
What if one of the bottles is out of stock?
Bundles are built from live shelf stock, so the page will stop you before that happens. If something sells through between your order and packing, we substitute an equal-or-better bottle from the same country or category and email you first — or refund that portion if you'd rather.
Can I swap a bottle?
Tell us in the order notes and we'll do our best. The bundle price is built around the specific lineup, so a swap needs to be a like-for-like from the same country or category.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes — check out to your recipient's address inside our delivery area. Whoever accepts the delivery has to be 21+ with ID. Add a note at checkout and we'll include a card.
Is this a subscription?
No. Bundles are a one-time purchase. If you want a new one every month, that's what the Wine Club and the Craft Bartending Kit club are for.
