More than simply a superlative liquid, it is forethought, expectation, anticipation embodied. Three decades, captured. Time stilled, forever. Arrested, and arresting. An experience to savour. Thirty years of our maverick mindset, suspended in time.TASTING NOTES:Deep, woody flavours interlaced with delicate floral accents, in a complex combination.SERVING SUGGESTION:Serve neat or with a couple of drops of water (to bring out the flavours).

Product Information: Discover the fresh face of Hennessy Paradis. First released in the US and then rolled out internationally in 2023, the new packaging combines artistry and innovation with a reduced carbon footprint. Crafted from FSC-certified, sustainably sourced oak from France, the sleek wooden box is a testament to Hennessy's commitment to the environment. Weighing 1.5 kg less than its predecessor, it reduces the carbon footprint while paying homage to the oak barrels that nurture the cognac to perfection. The new design of the box features a detachable podium that elevates the Paradis vessel to highlight the fluid lines of the decanter. With its sophisticated, sensuous shape, the decanter that sits within the oak box resembles angel wings—an indication of the heavenly nature of the liquid within it. While the packaging is elevated to new forms, the Hennessy Paradis stays true to its much-loved characteristics—the cognac exudes floral characters of rose and jasmine, accented with notes of exotic fruit and cinnamon on the nose. The rich, copper-hued Hennessy is silky on the palate, smooth and flavourful with a deep, persistent finish, and a voluptuous aroma that lingers on after the perfect sip. Hennessy Paradis was created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979 as a tribute to his love of music. He compared the blend to ‘a symphonic orchestra’, as “classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions.” The number of instruments in an orchestra is not necessarily a measure of its success, but rather the purity of sound it creates and the virtuosity of the conductor. The same holds true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities that together create a harmonious and graceful cognac. Distinctive for its graceful character and immediately delights with its rich copper colour. A perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, it combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.

Over the centuries, Hennessy has evolved into an unrivaled market leader and the world's foremost premium spirits brand, with a global presence in 160 countries. Based in Cognac, France, Maison Hennessy is known for its long-standing tradition of savoir-faire, which has been instrumental in creating a wide range of exquisite cognac products. The expertise of master blenders at Hennessy has contributed to the brand's reputation for excellence and quality in the industry. In addition to its exceptional cognac offerings, Hennessy engages in artistic collaborations, offers exclusive products and cocktails. Laurent Boillot, serving as the CEO, leads the company in maintaining its commitment to quality and innovation. Maison Hennessy's enduring legacy, unwavering commitment to quality and global influence have firmly established the brand as a symbol of excellence in the cognac industry. With its rich history and dedication to innovation, Hennessy continues to set the standard for exceptional cognac production and remains a celebrated figure in the world of premium spirits. In perpetuating the legacy of the original Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac specially conceived by Hennessy in 1817 for the English Prince Regent, who would become George IV the objective of the Hennessy master blenders has always been to create a complete and harmonious blend: the definitive expression of a perfectly balanced cognac. The mellow texture of its oldest eaux-de-vie perfectly complements the vitality of the youngest, which makes it ideal for any occasion, whether enjoyed on the rocks, as a long drink or in a more creative mix. Philosophy: The journey from grape to bottle in Hennessy cognac production is a meticulous process involving several key stages. It all starts with the careful selection of Ugni Blanc grapes from the Cognac region, known for their high acidity and low alcohol content. In fact, A spirit that bears the Cognac Protected Appellation of origin (PDO) has to comply with regulated specifications, its grapes must be grown in Cognac, and the wine made from them produced here, defined by strict borders surrounding the Charente River. Seems pedantic but you can taste the difference. After harvest, the grapes are pressed, and the juice undergoes fermentation to become a low-alcohol wine. This wine is then distilled twice in copper stills, a crucial step that concentrates its flavours and aromas. Double distillation is required to make eaux-de-vie for cognac. In the first, a raw spirit called “brouillis” is produced. The second distillation produces a much higher alcohol content. Only the middle part, the ‘heart’, is saved. This clear, colourless liquid is called eaux-de-vie. It takes approximately 12kg of grapes to obtain 1 litre of eaux-de-vie. Pressing the grapes produces 9 litres of wine. The resulting eaux-de-vie is aged in French oak barrels, where it matures and develops complexity over time. Hennessy's master blenders then skillfully blend eaux-de-vie of different ages and characteristics to create the desired flavour profile for each cognac expression. Once blended, the cognac is aged further to allow the flavors to harmonise before being bottled. Throughout the entire process, from grape to bottle, Hennessy maintains a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, ensuring that each bottle of cognac meets their exacting standards. For two centuries now, Hennessy's tasting committee has met every day at 11am. They meticulously taste each eaux-de-vie, then select or reject it according to their strict quality standards. The ones selected will be tasted at least once a year to ensure their maturation process follows a standard and style. The result is a range of cognacs renowned for their rich flavours, complexity, and smoothness, enjoyed by connoisseurs around the world. Nose - Dry Roses, Cinnamon, Exotic Fruits On the nose, this blend exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit. Palate -Acacia Honey, Dehydrated Citrus, Pepper A graceful, silky texture leads to a flavourful and deep, persistent finish. Finish - Fresh Flowers, Dried Fruits, Candied Citrus Peels The finish is long and warming and very rounded.

Product Information: Announcing GlenAllachie's next iteration of its oldest and most exclusive core range expression: The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Cask Strength Batch 3. Said to “embody Sherry-matured indulgence”, the Batch 3 Speyside is spearheaded by long-standing whisky maker Billy Walker, who recently celebrated reaching a half-century in the industry, the leading single malt producer was met with substantial global demand upon the release of previous batches of the vintage release. The GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (Batch 3) is encased in a luxurious royal blue presentation box with suedette cushioning and gold foil detailing. Only 2,400 bottles worldwide of Batch 3 available worldwide. Expertly blended by Master Distiller Billy Walker, the distinctly elegant single malt was bottled at its natural cask strength of 48.9% ABV, without the addition of artificial colouring and unchill filtered. This rare Scotch whisky’s flavour profile boasts sophisticated waves of rich espresso, chocolate-covered hazelnuts, grated ginger and stewed plums. The third instalment marries outstanding casks that held antique Speyside single malt dating back to the early 1990s: an assemblage of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry hogsheads, as well as several American virgin oak casks. The exceptional quality whisky was extensively monitored before being hand-selected by expert blender Walker from the distillery’s impressive stocks exceeding 50,000 casks across 16 on-site warehouses. Maker: In 1967 The GlenAllachie was the fourth distillery designed by William Delmé-Evans and built by Mackinlay McPherson (the distilling arm of Scottish and Newcastle Ltd). It was designed to be almost entirely gravity-fed to run on reduced energy. In 1968, the distillery began its first production run. Fast forward to 2017, Scotch whisky industry legend Billy Walker came together with his business partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson to acquire the distillery from Chivas Brothers, bringing with them extensive industry expertise. Just nine months after taking ownership of The GlenAllachie, they launched their first core range single malts. Having previously been used to create premium blends, this marked the first-ever range of single malts to be released by the Speyside distillery. In 2021 their Master Distiller, Billy Walker, was inducted into Whisky Magazine’s prestigious Hall of Fame: a permanent tribute to individuals who have made a lasting contribution to the world of whisky. In the same year, their 10-year-old Cask Strength won the fiercely contested World’s Best Single Malt title at the World Whiskies Awards. On sustainability, GlenAllachie was awarded an SIETF grant, backed by the Scottish Government, for a significant decarbonisation project that will involve the installation of Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) technology that will half energy demand. To power the MVR, we have installed 134 solar panels in a neighbouring field. As for the new look. Having grown exponentially since its launch, The GlenAllachie brand was ready for a new visual identity that represents its evolution since 2018. Despite the rejuvenated exterior – said to be “a better reflection of the quality of the whisky” – the award-winning liquid inside the bottle remains unchanged. Distillery: The result of seamlessly coordinated collaboration is a range of carefully crafted and cask-perfected Scotch whiskies, each personally approved by Billy. With a quietly confident team of passionate whisky enthusiasts behind GlenAllachie, you can be sure the whisky is in good hands. A quality of quantity approach, GlenAllachie have the capacity to produce four million litres of alcohol per annum (LOA), but have made the decision to reduce their output to one million LOA in order to place the emphasis solely on spirit quality. By slowing down production, they now have the luxury of time, allowing for a lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours, which is around triple the industry average. This move has enabled them to create a more complex, flavourful distillate. In terms of wood management, GlenAllachie have a deep appreciation for the flavour contribution superior casks can offer. By allowing the spirit to interact with multiple wood types across its maturation journey is essential. Every cask quietly aging in the on-site warehouses and meticulously monitored by Billy Walker and his expert team throughout this process, ensuring the whisky is bottled at its optimum. In addition to this, being independent offers GlenAllachie limitless scope for intricate and creative wood experimentation. Their hard-earned network of connections with niche producers has opened doors for them to acquire an unrivalled inventory of not only the rarest casks but also those of the highest quality from around the world. No corners can be cut in the pursuit of excellence. Billy Walker Master Distiller proclaims “We don't pursue absolute consistency; we pursue aboslute perfection. If it's a little better than the previous batch, that's what we're aiming for. If the colour is marginally different, that's because it's natural." In the experienced hands of legendary whisky maker Billy Walker, a culture of precision, patience and perseverance has been instilled in his small yet accomplished team of whisky experts.

Product Information: For this range, malt master Kelsey McKechnie has made a small selection of our rarest casks, each of exceptional quality and unique individual flavour to bring together in a tun marriage. The Balvenie 25-year-old is blended from a combination of whiskies matured in traditional American oak and European Sherry oak casks. It has extraordinary depth, the perfect balance to create the most elegantly fruity whisky expression the Twenty-Five hints at the most sought-after Balvenie flavours – bold vanilla oak, crystallised ginger and sweet runny honey. The nose has a distinct honeyed sweetness with hints of brown sugar. Ripe fruits ranging from apple, pear to tropical aromas of mango and pineapple. Mint, anise and ginger accents. Seasoned oak in the background. Smooth and creamy on the palate. Baked apple notes, hints of tropical fruits. There is also a bit of liquorice and a pronounced flavour of baked cinnamon. A persistent fruit finish that lingers with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. Super. Maker: William Grant’s vision for Balvenie, established in 1892, was to transform the abandoned shell of an 18th-century manor house into a thriving whisky production facility. Neighbouring his successful Glenfiddich distillery, Grant used second-hand stills from Lagavulin and Glen Albyn to set up Balvenie, establishing a unique character for his new venture. Today, Balvenie’s impressive craftsmanship continues to set it apart. The distillery operates with four wash stills and five spirit stills, which, though of similar dimensions as those at Glenfiddich, are taller. This height difference imparts a distinct style to Balvenie’s whisky, contributing to a richer and more nuanced profile compared to its neighbouring distillery. A standout feature of The Balvenie is its commitment to traditional methods. Unlike many modern distilleries, Balvenie still practices floor malting, a time-honoured technique that involves spreading barley on the floor to germinate. This traditional process is complemented by the use of an on-site kiln for malting and peating, with barley grown on the distillery’s own farm, Balvenie Mains. This dedication to maintaining traditional practices ensures that each bottle of Balvenie whisky carries a deep sense of heritage and authenticity. The Balvenie’s unique approach combines time-honoured techniques with innovative practices, such as the pioneering ‘finishing’ method introduced by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. This blend of tradition and innovation results in a range of whiskies that are both distinct and exceptional, reflecting the rich history and enduring legacy of The Balvenie Distillery. The Philosophy: The Balvenie distillery is a paragon of tradition and expertise, with a deep-rooted commitment to crafting exceptional whisky. This dedication is evident in every aspect of their production process, reflecting a blend of time-honoured practices and modern skill. Unique among Scottish Highlands distilleries, The Balvenie grows and malts a portion of its own barley. This tradition, carried forward by James Wiseman and his son Duncan, ensures that generations of knowledge contribute to the whisky's distinctive quality. The Wiseman family's involvement in barley farming spans decades, underpinning the distillery’s legacy. The art of cooperage is another cornerstone of The Balvenie's approach. Master cooper Ian McDonald, with 54 years at the distillery, exemplifies the craftsmanship required to repair and rebuild casks, a skill developed over years of experience, Ian shares, "I've been working with wood for so long that I know American Oak from European by feel." Also labour intensive is the malting floor, where malt men manually turn barley up to four times a day, and the precise use of peat in the kiln, add layers of complexity to the whisky. The distillery’s copper stills are instrumental in shaping its flavour. Dennis McBain's expertise in copper smithing, alongside his apprentice George Singer, ensures that the intricate design of the stills contributes to the signature honeyed notes of The Balvenie. Former Malt Master David C. Stewart, who dedicated 60 years to The Balvenie, revolutionised whisky production with his pioneering techniques, particularly around ‘cask finishes’. In 2023, Stewart passed the mantle to Kelsey McKechnie, recognising her exceptional talent and commitment. Stewart’s legacy continues through McKechnie, ensuring The Balvenie’s tradition of excellence endures.

Then ripe orchard fruit, apple, pear, and some tropical fruit aromas of mango and pineapple. Palate - Toasted Marshmallows, Fruit Terrine, Vanilla Oak The initial bold vanilla oak flavours slowly dissipate to reveal layers of toasted marshmallows, fresh fruit terrine and cinnamon-infused apple tart. Finish - Cinnamon Dusted Apple Tart, Apricots, Nutmeg The finish is long, with a lingering fruity sweetness, accompanied by cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg.

The Second-Fill range represents the purest form of Sullivans Cove’s distinct spirit character. Maker: In 1994, on a remote island at the far end of the world, a distillery came to life with humble beginnings. Far from the whisky establishment, Sullivans Cove had the freedom to explore and perfect their process. Informed by tradition yet inspired by possibility, they brought a distinctly Tasmanian twist to a craft shaped by centuries of practice. Two decades later, their dedication to carefully crafting exceptional whisky, inspired by nature and patiently aged, was rewarded when Sullivans Cove was named the World’s Best Whisky. The secret was out, and whisky lovers globally were intrigued by what was quietly happening on Tasmania’s 'Apple Isle'. In a world of instant gratification, Sullivans Cove offers something different: a rare whisky that cannot be rushed and will never be replicated. Philosophy: Distilled in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove single malt whisky is made using traditional methods and 100% Tasmanian ingredients. Inspired by nature and patiently aged, the distillers aim to seek the sublime. Each cask is nurtured to its natural peak, with thousands of tiny decisions shaping each batch. No two batches are the same, making each one an opportunity for exploration. Tasmania’s clean water makes it an ideal place for producing world-class whisky, while the island’s fertile soil is perfect for barley growing. This combination of quality water and grain forms the foundation of Sullivans Cove's high-end whisky. All Sullivans Cove whiskies are made from 100% Tasmanian malted barley, with the wash brewed by experienced local brewers. The whisky is double-distilled in a unique Tasmanian-built pot still, affectionately known as "Myrtle." The first distillation, known as the "wash run," produces low wines of about 20% ABV, which are then redistilled during the "spirit run" to create a spirit of around 70% ABV. This spirit is diluted to 63.5% ABV before being aged in casks. Most of the whiskies are aged in either 200L American oak ex-Bourbon barrels or 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels, maturing for many years in Tasmania’s unique climate—typically between nine and eighteen years. Nose - Candied Lemon, Caramel Popcorn, Raspberry Jam Caramel popcorn and fudge add a playful touch. A bright timber note of Huon pine weaves through, alongside the softer orange and herbal tones of Aperitivo Cappelletti Palate - Rich Deep Berries, Velvety, Orange Blossom Sugared almonds adding a nutty touch.
