Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State nuanced, mellow, and earthy. Barrels often aged in excess of eight years. Truly small batch, each batch of Bourbon is typically composed of no more than two dozen barrels.
Deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with a ripened fruit finish. The term unblended comes from this whiskey never containing grain neutral spirits.
Released in 2014, this no-age statement Taketsuru bottling is a blend of malts aged 10 years on average in different types of oak casks. A high percentage of Miyagikyo malt gives a fresh fruity character, joined by mature aromas from an important sherry cask influence.
The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in “Coffey” type column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. This rare 100% malt bottling offers a surprisingly rich texture.
Nikka from the Barrel is big-boned and bursting with character. Not averse to a drop of water, either. A real star, winning top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards in 2007 and 2010.
After mellowing in a refill cask to develop the soft distillery character for a decade, a secondary maturation in a specifically chosen Amontillado cask wood ensures that all the good work continues.
Juniper, Grapefruit skins and Rhubarb infused in Italian grain spirit for 36 hours gives orange colour. Blended with second distillate made in our vacuum still of Juniper, Coriander, Lemon Peel, Orange Peel, Angelica, Orris Root. Distilled in stainless steel vacuum still for 5 hours.
Made using Sicilian blood oranges. Brilliantly bright and juicy. A hint of vanilla and pink grapefruit in the palate help balance this gin and give complexity. Refreshing.
A peculiarly sophisticated gin distilled in Scotland with the essence of Bulgarian rose petals and cucumber. Delightfully fragrant with juniper notes more delicate than most. Best served with a slice of cucumber.
The most intense whisky in Ardbeg's core range. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste. Cask strength, too, so not for the faint hearted...
Bombay Sapphire's blue bottle can be found across the world. Launched in 1987 and distributed by Bacardi, Bombay is based on one of the earliest recorded recipes for a premium quality London Dry gin.
From Cognac in France, this breakthrough wheat-based small-batch ultra-premium vodka has achieved global success and won a Platinum medal at the World Spirits Championship. Clean and fresh, with a smooth, creamy texture.
Nestled in a charming rural spot near Pitlochry, this is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. Just three men work here and they do almost everything by hand, just as it was. A full-bodied, oily, sherried dram, this is a true cult favourite and seems to make an admirer of everyone who is introduced to it.
The initial sweet taste quickly gives way to a complex of oranges, juniper and earthy spice, with an incomparably long finish that’s dominated by the lingering flavour of Sicilian blood orange.
An approachable lightly peated malt, finished in ex bourbon, first fill sherry and some virgin oak casks. Brilliant complexity for such an affordable malt.
Richly honeyed and backed with a lifting zestiness which slides into spice and zingy salt. Once the dram opens out, vanilla and sultana stand out followed by notes of toasted oak.
Aged to perfection in specially-selected ex-bourbon casks. A great easy-drinking, unpeated classic single malt. San Francisco Spirits Competition Gold Medal 2017.
