Artwork - BC Nowlin's "When They Do" #39/50 Glicee print
$1,500
Starting bid
"When They Do" is a southwestern style (33wX38h) glicee print from artist BC Nowlin's exhibit at Manitou Galleries in Santa Fe. Mr. Nowlin donated a giclee print to our auction. You may find out about Manitou Galleries at manitougalleries.com. It is autographed on the back and is #39/50.
B.C. Nowlin defines his art as "a border town journey"; and it certainly mirrors his cross cultural background. A native of Alameda, New Mexico, his family's land formed the southern boundary of the Sandia Pueblo Reservation. Nowlin came of age steeped in experiences of vibrant Hispanic culture and Native Puebloan mysticism. His stints in seminary school and the United States Marine Corps define the paradox of his early life choices.
"BC Nowlin is not a Native American. He was born and raised on the edge of a pueblo reservation. He has been blessed since childhood with close relationships among Native peoples, and these have inspired much of his art work."
At 12, Nowlin bicycled to purchase his first oil paints and canvas. At 17, he was expelled from high school art class by an instructor enraged at B.C.'s insistence on painting his images, his way. Nowlin's die was cast and his development without any formal art education is a signature aspect of his imagery and personality.
Nowlin's diverse and prolific early images may have been the result of childhood pressure to please religious, relentlessly critical parents or simply escape from his blue collar twenties as a construction worker and truck driver. Whatever his motives, Nowlin became something of a road warrior as an artist, crafting a lifestyle of constant travel, painting, exhibition and chaotic experimentation with his arts' direction. "Nowlin changes images faster than most of us change clothes. He avoids cliches as assiduously as he would stepping barefoot into cactus." Washington Post

Tommyrotter Cask Strength Bourbon Barrel Gin Gift Basket
$30
Starting bid
750mL bottle of Tommy Rotter Cask Strength Bourbon Barrel Gin accompanied by a copy of "The Real Gin Book - A Collection of Classic and Modern Gin Recipes for Every Occasion" by Peter William Parker (2nd Edition)
CASK STRENGTH BOURBON-BARREL GIN
The perfect intersection of the gin and whiskey world. It’s the right choice for the adventurous drinker who is ready to take on a high-proof, category bending libation.
Distilled in the same process as our award-winning American Gin, we use the identical 12 botanicals to flavor our signature herbaceous, citrusy gin. In true bourbon fashion, the unaged spirit was placed in virgin White American Oak char #3 barrels at 62.5% ABV to rest post-distillation.
Through evaporative loss over the maturation period, the alcohol level dipped to 122 proof. After barrel harvest, the spirit was passed through a light particle filter to remove the residual charcoal fragments from the inside of the charred barrels.
No chill-filtration was utilized, as to not disturb the delicate essential oils that maintain the spirit’s gin profile.
PRODUCT SPECS
Aroma—Sweet honey, pine and bourbon.
Taste—Barrel notes of oak and vanilla give way to citrus and warm winter spices, like ginger and nutmeg.
Proof—122 proof
Mash Bill—100% corn
Aged - over 1 year in #3 char American White Oak barrel.
Accolades —
2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge - 96 Points, Chairmen’s Trophy, & Top 100 Spirit
2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge - 95 Points & Chairmen’s Trophy
2016 NY World Wine & Spirits Competition - Double Gold & Best in Show

6 O'Clock Sloe Gin Gift Basket
$30
Starting bid
750mL bottle of 6 O'Clock Sloe Gin - When The Time Is Ripe accompanied by a copy of "The Real Gin Book - A Collection of Classic and Modern Gin Recipes for Every Occasion" by Peter William Parker (2nd Edition)
Our Sloe gin is made in small batches using hand-picked, wild, hedgerow sloes. The intense fruit flavor of this traditional classic is achieved by using a high sloe to gin ratio, plenty of sugar, then patiently and slowly maturing for at least 6 months.
Generous quantities of hand-picked hedgerow sloes, combined with just the right amount of sugar, are added to our strikingly smooth London Dry Gin. Then it’s all left to soak slowly for at least six months – that’s more than twice as long as most other distillers.
The high ‘sloe to gin’ ratio combined with this lengthy maturation process achieves a smooth, intensely rich and fruity flavor that retains some of that just-picked tartness.
Rich, sweet fruit aromas of plum with flavous of Kirsch cherry and a hint of subtle spice.
Warm and refreshing, 6 O’clock Gin Sloe is less intensely sweet than many other sloe gins, with a perfect balance between sweet fruit and the bitterness of sloes.
How to Drink:
Enjoy with a bite of creamy blue cheese,
or just top up the hip flask and hit the countryside for a walk.
