This rich and complex whisky from Chivas is aged for 21 years in oak casks before bottling in handcrafted porcelain flagons. Royal Salute was launched on 2nd June 1953 as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her Coronation Day. At her coronation, the crown of Queen Elizabeth II was set in rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These precious stones remain the inspiration for the colours of Royal Salute's handcrafted flagons, therefore bottle colour may vary.

A silky, sumptuous cognac crafted by using mainly the most prestigious eaux de vie from grande and petite champagne crus. Bisquit & Dubouche XO is slowly matured in French Oak Barrels for a minimum of 10 years. Fruity notes of plum and cinnamon with a taste of an incredibly rich and full-bodied flavour, but stunningly smooth.

The Jean Fillioux N°1 Cognac is an exceptional 60-year-old Grande Champagne delight. Only produced in very small volumes, it’s fresh and fruity, and showcases the very best of why this growth region is rightly determined to be the ‘premier cru’. Whilst it offers a powerful tasting experience, it does so in a rounded, smooth, and ultimately satisfying manner. A Cognac to be enjoyed in the traditional manner, perhaps sipped in the company of good friends or family, and with other connoisseurs who will also appreciate its delightful complexity. Definitely one for special occasions. Its beautiful amber dress is adorned with beautiful coppery shades. Then the nose opens on fruits, especially fresh apricot, spices, vanilla and licorice. The attack is wide. Alcohol is present but in terms of power, not aggression.

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.

Krug is well and truly one of the great wine experiences in the world. It is an exercise in balance and poise, being at once as fine and delicate as crystal and rich with meaty nuttiness. With an almost ethereal bead, there is plenty of toast, dried fruit and hazelnut complexity. Magnificent!

Chamapagne Rosé is a true delight to the senses and Billecart-Salmon rightly takes its place in the top echelon. A vibrant Salmon pink colour greets the glass, with a long, smooth, delicate, elegant and refined palate to follow. Without the price tag that others of this quality demand, this is a Champagne that all must enjoy at least once.

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is one of the world's truly great elegant Champagnes. Named after the 'golden age' in France during the late 19th century, Belle Époque is still today bottled in the striking hand-painted bottle that is instantly recognisable the world over. A 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier, the strength of this prestige cuvée is in its finesse and elegance rather than power or fruit. Adding to this spectacular Champagne's aura of grace and class was the fact that is was personally chosen to be the Champagne poured at the Monaco wedding of HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene.
