1. Moët Impérial Red Limited Edition

Offered in a box of three bottles, the Collage Proprietary Red Gift Set marks Aperture’s most ambitious and artistically driven release yet. Inspired by the avant-garde, Collage melds the finest elements from multiple vineyards into a singular masterpiece. The selections are rooted in bold creativity, cultural expression, and winemaking mastery, meant to capture the spirit of collaboration.
3. OLUJO Añejo Tequila
Housed in a meticulously hand-crafted vessel, the Añejo tequila from OLUJO is the perfect blend of old-world tradition and new-world tools. The golden colored tequila is characterized by dominant notes of vanilla, caramel, almond, oak, and subtle undercurrents of tobacco, and is aged by lifelong maestros at the distillery in Jalisco, Mexico.
4. Belvedere 10
Inspired by the distillery’s 1910 origin, the Belvedere 10 is sourced from one rye, one farm, one field, and one harvest, distilled four times and then rested for exactly 10 months. The result is a unique flavor with a smooth finish, housed in a bottle of brutalist elegance with ten levels to reflect the spirit’s ten-step creation process.
5. The Last Drop Release No. 40
This Extra Añejo Tequila from Last Drop Distillers is 10 years in the making, and marks the first-ever tequila for the brand. Available in just 435 bottles worldwide, it was created by Carmen Villarreal, owner of Casa San Matías, one of Mexico’s oldest family-owned distilleries. It’s recommended to enjoy quietly or with carefully chosen companions.
6. French Bloom La Cuvée Vintage 2022
With the La Cuvée Vintage 2022, French Bloom is offering an exceptional vintage sparkling wine with 0.0% alcohol. The organic Chardonnay is fully de-alcoholized and offers a complex taste of caramelized nuts, dried fruit, vanilla, brioche, and toasted bread, with a crisp finish.
7. The Atlus Glenmorangie 25 Years Special Edition
The Atlus, Glenmorangie’s 25 Year Old Special Edition, offers a symphony of fruit, cream, time, and a touch of Hollywood stardom. First tasted by Harrison Ford during the filming of Once Upon a Time in Scotland, the Atlus is matured in Glenmorangie’s designer bourbon casks and is then lifted by a sprinkling of whisky finished in Malmset Madeira wine casks.
8. Dom Pérignon x Takashi Murakami
The limited edition Dom Pérignon x Takashi Murakami partnership is a joyful collaboration for the 2025 year-end season. Imagined in both a Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010, Murakami made nature a vital principle. “Through my collaboration with Dom Pérignon, I wanted to express a form of time travel,” says the artist. “My goal is to remain relevant in 100 or 200 years and to transcend time. When the label has aged, and I am gone, and my children are gone, I hope that people of the future, when they see it, will reimagine 2025 in their own minds.”
9. The Drop by LOUIS XIII
The Drop by Louis XIII, offered in a wearable bottle or small enough to be held tightly in one hand, takes fashionable decanters to the next level. The 100-year-old Cognac housed in an on-the-go format is meant to encapsulate an innate mindset of spontaneous appropriation.
10. 2025 LALO High-Proof
The 2025 Limited Edition High Proof Blanco marks LALO’s first-ever distilled-to-proof release, with no water or adjustments added after distillation. The edition is meant to reflect LALO’s unwavering commitment to purity, clarity, and integrity, inviting revelers to experience agave in a bold new way.
