There are many stories about who created the first Negroni. We like to believe it originated in Florence, Italy in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked for a stronger version of his favourite cocktail the Americano (Campari, Red Vermouth and soda water). The bartender replaced the traditional soda for gin, and the world-famous aperitif was born. The definition of sophistication and simplicity the Negroni is a tonic for those who would rather be sitting in a local bar during what the Italians refer to as aperitivo hour.Serving Suggestions:Serve Dr Onyx Negroni swirled, not shaken in a short glass over ice. Traditionally garnished with a slice of orange or the preferred blood orange adding a more dramatic fragrance, and a sweet and tart flavour.Volume:500ml, 22% Alcohol, Approx. 9.0 Standard Drinks.

Tasmanian style Pommeau! Charles Oates is making a beautiful Pommeau considered a Mistelle. An aperitif inspired of the traditional Pommeau de Normandie. Delicious marriage between Apple brandy and freshly pressed tannin-rich apple juice, Pommeau combines intensity of flavour, sweetness and gentleness. Pommeau is produced by blending an 18th month old Apple Brandy and apple must.In the Huon Valley, Charles Oates is using a proper Charentais alembic still, the design used in Normandy (France) to produce Calvados Pays d'Auge. The Charentais alembic still was designed in the early 16th century in the Cognac region of France where it is still used for fine Cognac production. They produce an aged apple brandy from their still, in the same style as Calvados. They also produce a lighter apple spirit, Charles Oates Apple Blanco, a delicately flavoured spirit.

While India may not be the first country to mind when great world whisky is mentioned, the Fusion Single Malt is about to change all that. Considered by Jim Murray to be the 3rd best whisky in the world as part of his 2010 Whisky Bible, the Fusion is a phenomenal amalgam of flavours, aromas and texture the envy of most, even in Scotland. On the nose this spectacular whisky offers up notes of heavy oak, barley sugar and some subtle smoke characters that play ever so well with amazingly complex flavours like custard cream, toffee and dried fruits. While the whisky threatens to be completely overpowering, the balance on the finish is nothing short of ground breaking. There is simply no better way to extend your whisky horizons than with a bottle of Amrut Fusion.

This Italian gin gets its name, and its taste, from the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily, where many of the botanicals are grown. A refreshingly herbaceous gin made using a combination of juniper, myrtle berries, citrus peels, coriander and more. Produced like the island gin, Sunset has two important Mediterranean botanicals infused, basil and grapefruit. These give a distinctive and very fresh component allowing to break neat with crushed basil leaves and ice, or as a Negroni or Martini

Situated between Neive and the town of Barbaresco itself, Cotta beautifully combines the rich, fuller-bodied nature of Neive, with the tannic structure of Barbaresco. With a south-west exposure, it is usally the richest and roundest of the Sottimano crus, typically showing abundant red and black fruits with refined nuances of mint, leading to a palate of notable length. The tannins are there, but beautifully expressive and silky. A benchmark Barbaresco with a 15-20 year cellar life.

Clear and bright amber. Intense and characteristic scent of orange zest. Sweet, gentle tatse with dominant aromatic citrus notes. Long and fragrant feeling, with hints of honey, wood and vanilla.

Transparent and brilliant. It turns out soft, sweet and delicate, but with a notable richness and aromatic complexity, fruity and distinctly floral. Pleasant sensations on the palate. Finish is well balanced.
