His main goal is to produce the cleanest, most natural, and traditionally made tequila there can be. Camarena is also an engineer by profession. The way he mixes his engineering skills along with his tequila knowledge can be seen throughout El Pandillo in the most innovative and impressive way.



Don Vincente Tequila Blanco...$46.99
Certified Additive Free
Don Vicente Blanco is all-natural, exceptionally clean, and clear. A straightforward sweetness from the cooked Blue Weber Agave and a delicious minerality and earthiness from the +450 ft deep well water.  Oxygenated for a whole day for a softer, lighter, and buttery mouthfeel, making the flavors perfectly balanced. The more you drink it, the more pleasant it will be.
The perfect sipping tequila.

Don Vincente Tequila Reposado...$54.99
Certified Additive Free
Remarkably smooth. The same body of Don Vicente Blanco rested in used American White Oak Bourbon barrels for less than a year.
The aging adds a complexity of aromas and flavors. The cooked Blue Weber Agave, minerality, and earthiness are all still very present due to the used barrel not overpowering them; with hints of vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch.  A rich and buttery mouthfeel.


Very limited!
Don Vincente Tequila Extra Añejo.....$149.99
Certified Additive Free
Don Vicente Extra Añejo is aged for at least 3 years in used American White Oak Bourbon barrels. It packs an explosion of aromas & flavors.
The cooked Blue Weber Agave is still present at the center of this Extra Añejo, with hints of oak, fruit, caramel, and butterscotch around it. The oxygenation keeps all the flavors very well balanced, preventing any flavor from overtaking the other.  Unbelievably smooth.

More in stock!!
Very limited!
50% ABV
Bruichladdich 18 Year Old Re/Define Single Malt Scotch...$169.99
Matured exclusively on Islay, primarily in ex-Bourbon casks and a small number of wine casks, The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the epitome of Bruichladdich's signature unpeated house style. Full bodied and beautifully fragrant, notes of honey, butterscotch, and citrus orange open on the nose, with a medley of tropical fruits and toasted mellow oak lingering on the palate.
"This is an ultra-high provenance single malt. Every single element of The Bruichladdich Eighteen - from the specific harvest and barely varietals used to the exact casks it has matured in - is fully traceable. Which, for a whisky of this age, is quite incredible. 18 years ago, we distilled spirit from our first ever crop of home-grown Islay barley and our passion to diversify and champion our cereal growing programme has never wavered. It’s about making delicious whisky with real provenance which also benefits our community – and The Bruichladdich Eighteen is the embodiment of this ethos.” - head distiller

BARLEY VERIATAL:
The Bruichladdich Eighteen is made using a combination of Scottish Mainland, Islay and Organic barley, with each varietal and harvest fully traceable from farm to bottle
MALTING: Unpeated
DISTILLATION: Distilled in 2004, single vintage expression
MATURATION PROFILE: The single malt has matured exclusively on Islay primarily in ex-bourbon casks. These bourbon casks, together with a smaller number of Sauternes and Port casks, are vatted and married for nine months before bottling to balance Bruichladdich’s signature floral and fruity character.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
What makes Wheelhouse Fish Co. unique?
Shalie was raised working on her family's commercial fishing boats, the F/V Whidby and the F/V Rebel Isle, harvesting wild salmon, halibut, and shrimp on the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska.

Wheelhouse Fish Co. is inspired by her upbringing and the unique lifestyle of Alaskan fishermen and families.

Why is this fish better than what I can find at my typical fish market?
Wild seafood is harvested in a manner that promotes the long-term health and stability of ocean ecosystems. Responsible fishing practices focus on maintaining fish populations, minimizing bycatch, and preserving marine habitats, helping to safeguard the delicate balance of marine life.

Many coastal communities throughout Alaska have relied on wild seafood as a significant part of their cultural and traditional heritage for generations. By choosing wild seafood, you support these communities and their way of life.

Isn't fresh fish better than frozen?
At the end of the day, “fresh” fish at the grocery store may not always be as fresh as you think. The reality is, unless you live on the coast or near a fishing port, you’re likely not eating truly fresh fish (meaning fish that has never been frozen).  Wheelhouse Fish Co. products are flash frozen, which preserves its flavor and texture. All of this is locked in until the moment you’re ready to thaw and prepare it!

How should I defrost my catch?
Thaw frozen seafood in the fridge overnight or in a plastic bag under cool running water – never in warm water or at room temperature.
