Avallen is aged in French oak casks for two years in the heart of La Manche, Normandy, for a liquid that is fresh, crisp and unapologetically apple forward. Avallen Calvados is a brand with sustainability at its very core. We have a mission to save wild bee populations around the world and put apple brandy back behind the bar. Nose is fresh apples with floral honeysuckle, the body is richly warming with a hint of vanilla custard with a finish of toffee apple.

A unique and exclusive offering from the Massenez distillery founded in 1870, Golden Eights base is a Pear Williams eau-de-vie that has been aged for 8 years. It has a beautiful amber colour, a divine promise of a great liqueur. A powerful, warm Pear Williams aroma shimmering with generous notes on the nose. Then, like a delicate and sensual symphony, all the pear aromas gently unfold, from the freshly harvested fruits to the complex vanilla & caramelised bouquet.

The first aged Fairtrade certified rum in the World. Produced in Belize using molasses from Organic sugar cane, bottled in France after aging for 5 years in American oak barrels. Fair Rum offers a complex aromatic structure that has received huge amounts of international acclaim.

Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the style of the Rare Dry Gin but with the volume turned up slightly beyond 11. At 58.8% ABV the gin can support some more robust and interesting botanicals, so there are three new botanicals that are both new (and fresh), including fresh turmeric and ginger. Together they have heightened the spiciness of the gin, and the turmeric in particular has added weight and a lovely earthiness to the palate. Also in the botanical basket about half the normal oranges have been replaced with some explosive native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour and acid that is almost impossible to believe, and in the basket they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.

Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey is the quintessential example of premium Irish Whiskey, and considered to be the purest form of the art. With a history dating back to 1903 when John Jameson & Company entered into an agreement with Gilbeys Wines & Spirits Import Company to supply new make whiskey which was then 'bonded' in old sherry and port casks. Single Pot Still whiskey is unique to Ireland and this exciting example is crafted from both malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in a traditional copper still. The result is a whiskey of unrivalled richness, complexity and smoothness. Hints of creaminess on the finish round out an true Irish Whiskey of pedigree.

Milder and sweeter than the famous Green Chartreuse, Yellow Chartreuse was introduced to the world in 1838. It also is presented in the traditional Chartreuse liqueur bottle embossed with the seal of La Grande Chartreuse. Its colour is entirely natural with no artificial flavours or preservatives. It, too, can be enjoyed neat or in a long drink. To bring out all its flavour, it should be consumed very cold, even on the rocks.

After the launch of Le Gin de Christian Douin in 2015, the only gin made from more than 30 varieties of cider apples and 7 herbs selected for their perfect combination of apple and juniper aromas, Guillaume Drouin has created a new blend dedicated to red fruits. Carmina is made with the same principles as the original version of Le Gin; each botanical or fruit is macerated and redistilled separately in order to optimise the extraction of aromas. The distillates are then blended before bottling. This time the bouquet is summery. It combines flowers and fruit with the use of raspberry, blackcurrant, elderflower, vanilla, lemon and orange in addition to juniper and cider apple varieties from Normandy.

Stroh is a distilled from a secret blend of herbs and fruit to hefty strength of 80% alcohol. If you were lost in the snow and a St. Bernard brought you a cup of this, you would be pretty happy. The Stroh Rum brand is one of the best-known spirits from Austria. The name is widely used as a generic synonym for spirits with a similarly high alcohol content in Germanic speaking regions. The company is privately held by Austrian owners.

Golden colour, well developed woody nose, lots of vanilla with floral notes, mouth not very aggressive marked by a gentle attack of vanilla and spices; the wood then comes back creating length.
