Jack’s Abby

Finca Hispana Wine Tasting
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesFinca Hispana is a cooperative, but unlike most, its main priority is to glorify Spanish wines by producing high-quality wines. One would think that quality is directly related to cost, but in this case it's not. The wines from Finca Hispana, at least those being tasted this weekend, are all less than $15 per bottle […]
Crown Royal Maple
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesThe legendary taste of Crown Royal with a touch of natural maple flavor. It’s a perfect blend of Crown Royal's signature caramel and vanilla nose with the elegant aromas of light, fresh maple that creates a flavor profile that finishes on an authentically warm and woody note. Whiskey Started, Maple Finished.
Titos Vodka
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesTito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. It is microdistilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it’s well worth it.

Southern Italian Reds Weekend Part 2
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesWith approximately 350 officially recognized wine styles and as many as 2000 grape varieties, Italy can present a confusing picture to even the most dedicated wine buffs. This is especially true of Sicily and Sardinia, the country’s two most potentially promising wine producing regions. That this should be the case is due in large part […]
Troegs
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesWe here enjoy what Troegs does as a brewery, quite a lot actually. And one of our favorite releases from them will be out just in time for this tasting. Mad Elf is a cherry, sour, malty bit of holiday cheer in a bottle. Not only will we have one of the best Christmas beers […]
Annual Thanksgiving Dinner and Wine Tasting w/ Sue
Colonial Spirits 87 Great Road, Acton, MA, United StatesThis has become one of the most talked about wine tasting events we have, and one of the most fun to put together. It isn't because we make it easy to pick out wines to pair with Thanksgiving dinner, or because they will be available at a great price, no. It is because of Sue. […]

Advantage International took […]
