Bounty Dark is composed of molasses distilled primarily on column still and a small percentage of pot-distilled molasses. The blend is aged 2–5 years in ex-bourbon casks and the added age and hint of robust, pot-distilled rum results in an expression with compelling depth. Baking spice and vanilla have stepped into the spotlight replacing the freshness of plantain found in Bounty White and Gold; caramelized banana and toasted sugar inhabit the mid-palate leading into a focused finish with very little residual sugar. Leaner and more expressive than many of its dark rum competitors, Bounty Dark is highly versatile in cocktail applications. Learn More

The clay pot still used to make this mezcal is artistically rendered on the front label of the bottle.

96 Points! The 2022 Red Wine The Meadows is the first special bottling Mayacamas has produced that is not Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2022 is not the most complex wine I have ever tasted here, but it is immensely pleasurable. The blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Sadly production is only 89 cases. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

From the winery: Maître de Chai's red table wine is intended for casual consumption at home and is meant to be served with food. This wine was designed from the beginning to be a delicious summer red. It’s a juicy and vibrant light red made of primarily Grenache from the Abba Vineyard, just east of the town of Lodi, with a very small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. The cool nights and breezes of the Sacramento River Delta provide the perfect growing conditions for the Mediterranean grape variety, and help to preserve its vibrant acidity.
