Face Plates Set

$303.00

This set of six differently shaped plates, with six different faces, was made by the very talented French artist Jean Jullien for Case Studyo. Hand-cast in porcelain, the plates are also in an array of colors—from coral to mint green and pale yellow. Of course each character is endearing in Jullien’s trademark way, and the fact that they are all different shapes, colors and sizes only adds to the charm. Made in an edition of 250, these plates are set to ship in February. (Price is in Euros.)

Dracaena Fragrans Plant Mobile

$100.00

Made from 100% brass, this gorgeous Dracaena Fragrans mobile is one plant you will never kill. Since the material will develop a patina as it ages, it can be hung somewhere warm and dry to slow the process—or the opposite to hasten it. Crafted in Portland, Oregon, it ships flat and needs no tools for assembly.

Tun 1509 Batch No 3 Single Malt Scotch

$600.00

It might not seem like 9000 bottles is a small batch, but when considering global distribution, this product quickly becomes scarce. Continuing their celebrated Tun 1509 series, No 3 features 31 single malts married in a tun hailing from 31 different casks, including 12 sherry butts distilled between 1989 and 1992; 11 American oak hogsheads distilled in 1989; and eight refill American oak butts distilled in 1992 and 1993. The resulting flavor profile is Balvenie through and through—with that Speyside vanilla sweetness upfront but layers of spice below.

10-Year-Old Tawny Port

$26.00

You don’t need to know much about Port, a fortified wine, to enjoy what Croft has done with this 10-year-old tawny. Spice and oak flavors (vanilla and caramel) unite beneath the smooth red fruit-driven blended wine base. This is a delight to drink straight, but Port has also been factoring into cocktails recently—and for good reason.

Lustau Edition, Single-Pot Still Irish Whiskey

$75.00

As we’ve noted before, the phrase “single pot still” in Irish Whisky is akin to the respect warranted by single malt in scotch. Redbreast’s latest, the Lustau Edition, sees this well-crafted spirit aged in Bodegas Lustau ex-Sherry barrels. The traditional Irish whisky creaminess meets with spice that lingers well after each sip. At 92 proof, this spirit is rather potent but without any loss of nuance.

Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-1980

With zines, posters, badges and more, Mott explores the DIY nature of the movement—displaying just how incredibly creative it really was.

“Keep Going” Pin

$5.00

A very simple message on a pin: Keep Going. Not only is it a little daily motivation for all kinds of tasks, but it’s an essential reminder that we need to continue our fight to end gun violence. The Everytown movement wants to build safer communities and keep innocent people out of harm’s way—a very reasonable mission, considering almost 13k people have been killed due to gun violence in the USA this year.

Verde Poblano Liqueur

$36.00

Most often liqueurs are low proof, lifeless or overly sweet. None of that is true with the second product from Ancho Reyes: Verde. At 40% ABV, it packs a punch and fresh hand-picked poblano peppers lend a true zing. This is spicy, but other earthy fruits and veggies factor in, making for a well-rounded yet dynamic sipper that can punch of plenty of cocktails—especially agave spirit-based ones.
