Aged for 12 years. Intense vanilla apple and some floral notes of rose and jasmine; touches of sturdy oak and dried fruit. The palate is immediately smooth and balanced, fine fruit with complex oaky flavour, spiced fruit with a mouth-tingling grip.
The nut of the Hazel tree, also known as a cobnut or filbert nut depending on species, hazelnut goes well with chocolate. This makes it popular in confectionery as well as a main ingredient in the chocolate spread Nutella and the vodka-based liqueur Frangelico. It is also a popular pudding flavour used in meringues and as a paste in Viennese tortes.
MONIN Roasted Hazelnut bottles the intense, smoky richness of roasting with a toffee nose and sweet praline aftertaste making it the perfect complement to coffee and a stunning ingredient for creating dessert cocktails.

A Fine Champagne VSOP cognac from the Hine house. H by Hine is a stylish alternative to Remy VSOP with a bit more oomph, but still very mixable for classy cocktails.
The entry point into the Maxime Trijol, their VS cognac is rich and full of fruit and floral notes, making it perfect for sipping, cocktails or long drinks.
Very fruity mouth with blackberries, blackcurrants and other small acidulous red fruits notes. Long and aromatic finish, very faithful to the aromas of the berry.
Amber hue with copper highlights. Focused, inviting nose suggestive of ripe apple and tarte tatin. The palate reveals a crisp, focused and fruity calvados showing lovely balance and persistence.
On the nose, warm hints of spices (cinnamon, vanilla). On the palate it is round and rich in tannins, developing towards a lush and lingering aftertaste, in which the aromatic overtones of the oak are revealed.
Supple and fruity, this blend of young eaux-de-vie is fresh and lively. Showing only slight traces of its ageing in wood, this Fine Armagnac has an attractive aromatic complexity with white-flower notes and subtle fruit flavours. The finish is appealing in its elegance.
A rich, perfumed Calvados from Henry de Querville. Made by La Ribaude at the distillerie du Houley in Moyaux. This is aged for at least 2 years before release.
An excellent Cassis from Dijon. Extraordinary colour. Most commonly used for Kirs but also works well sploshed all over a cheesecake or some ice cream.
Grande Champagne Cognac, 10 Générations is only made with Ugni-Blanc grapes. Distilled slowly on fine lees, it is aged in French oak with 20% in Sauternes casks. With freshness, it is an opulent Cognac.
The violet heralds the arrival of spring, but you can drink this any time. Smells and tastes like palma violet sweets from the 70's. Looks like meths from the school chemistry lab. Surprisingly moreish, not at all confected or sickly. Over ice or in fizz.
Sweet and light, fruity and subtly feminine, Rinquinquin is the aperitif par excellence. An unexpected blend of peaches, peach leaves gathered in autumn, sugar and white wine, made following a traditional recipe. Rinquinquin is a classic aperitif that is as Provençal as a sunshiny day. In fact, the name Rinquinquin, meaning a refreshing drink, comes from a word in the local dialect-requinquilhar, ‘to cheer up’. A name commonly given to refer to one’s favourite tipple.
La Grande Josiane Orange Armagnac, rich, sticky, marmaladey, delicious digestif. This delicious orange armagnac liqueur is developed from an old family recipe combining quality Bas Armagnac and mature bitter oranges. Think ‘artisan Grand Marnier’. Serve as an aperitif over ice, in Prosecco or with desserts such as crèpes flambées. Great as a digestif too!
A botanical single malt with a forest-like depth of taste and aroma, commencing with a bouquet of pine,
juniper and coriander, along with roasted chestnut and an intriguing whisper of smoke.
Upon sipping, flavour explodes in the mouth.Whirls of peppermint. Bursts of eucalyptus. Rustles of bitter orange. All
floating on clouds of vanilla with intriguing hints of black liquorice. It concludes with a slow and luscious finish
featuring lemon, orange and a soft hint of oak.
A Grande Champagne Cognac blended from well-aged eaux-de-vie, this enjoys a two year marriage. It is "pale" for it has a light hue, despite its age, and is "dry" for it has no added sweetener.
The nose is full and thick with floral notes, a little oak and vanilla spice with a touch of rancio, some leather. The palate is supple and rounded with plenty of fruit. Quite floral with a herbal note. The finish is long and balanced.
