Jean Fillioux Cognac GC 35 Years Cigar Club
Superb Grande Champagne Cognac, with a great personality, powerful. A velvety nose with notes of vanilla and honey. Very complex and unctuous palate with jammy aromas, prune, orange, then notes of cinnamon and black chocolate. Very long finish with notes of liquorice and spices coming through, toasted coffee. A perfect cognac to go with your favourite Havana cigar, Hoyo de Monterrey, Montecristo No2, Partagas D4.
Don Julio Tequila
A small batch Anejo named after founder Don Julio Gonzalez-Frausto Estrada, who first distilled Tequila at the age of just 17 in 1942. Aged for at least 30 months in American white-oak, this is a remarkably smooth and incredibly complex Tequila with notes of tropical fruit, agave and a hint of cinnamon spice. Day of the Dead is one of Mexicos most celebrated national holidays. This unique celebration of cultural diversity is celebrated through decoration, and an abundance of fantastic quality food and tequila. Tequila connoisseurship has shifted up a gear, away from the well-worn triple-threat of salt, lime and shot. Makers are now experimenting with different production styles, and revellers are loving the results. With the Day of the Dead celebration kicking off on the 31st of October, now is the time to embrace tequila, the spirit crafted in Mexico from the agave blue weber plant.

Jean Fillioux Cognac 'Cigar Club' Grande Champagne 1er Cru 35yrs
Paul Giraud Vieille Cognac
The Vieille Réserve is often the favourite cognac of our Grande Champagne lovers, especially ladies. This cognac expresses all the fullness of the fruity aromas typical of a Grande Champagne, aged for a long time in oak barrels. To fully appreciate this cognac, take time, sit in a good chair and heat the glass with the palm of your hand. The trip to a stone fruit orchard can begin. At the beginning of the tasting, the aromas of fresh fruit at the beginning of summer - like peach or apricot - appear. As the glass warms, aromas of riper fruit, more oxidized by the sun, are revealed, such as plums, prunes and Agen prunes. These are the fruits of late summer: hot, matured, and stewed. At the end of the tasting, spices appear then the vanilla side of the oak barrel. Round and mellow, this cognac is easily savoured. Another remarkable point, the length in the mouth, so characteristic of the Grande Champagne. The combination with a chocolate dessert (such as a Black Forest or a fondant) is quite appropriate.
Chateau Laballe Bas Armagnac
Delord Bas Armagnac XO Premium 25 40 Years
A special edition Armagnac that far exceeds the required age for an XO. The brandies used for the Delord XO Premium are aged between 25 and 40 years and unlike the other bottlings from Delord, this comes packaged with a metallic label and black wooden box. Tasting Notes: Nose: Rich and strong. Delicious aromas of orange flower, dried apricots, candied citrus and soft spice, such as star anise and cinnamon. Palate: Full with a tantalising touch of pepper, followed by a refreshing bittersweet note. An Armagnac that combines strength and indulgence. Pair with meltingly soft, dark chocolate fondant.
Domaine Tariquet Montreur Dõours Bas Armagnac
Grape Varieties: Plant de Graisse 70% and blend of Baco & Ugni blanc 30% Tasting Notes: Montreur d’Ours is an entirely new Bas-Armagnac “Hors d’Âge” (XO) that blends 10 to 20-year-old barrels of the Plant de Graisse, Ugni blanc and Baco grape varieties. This cuvée pays tribute the Grassa-Artaud’s family’s ancestors, originally from Ercé, a small village nestled in the mountains of Ariège, at the foot of the Pyrenées, who maintained the bear tamer tradition. In 1912, they acquired Domaine Tariquet in Gascony that had been making Armagnac since 1683.
Domaine Tariquet Bas Armagnac 25 Years Pure Folle Blanche
25 years of ageing offer us a rare and delicate stage of maturity that combines finesse and intensity. To be enjoyed after a meal with a cigar or bitter dark chocolate. Tasting Notes: Gold colour with touches of orange. The nose of the Pure Folle Blanche 25 years evokes creamy caramel and pastry aromas. We then discover a tremendous complexity and an incredible length in the mouth through a multitude of aromas of stone fruits, dried fruits and spices.
