Product Description: Dalmore’s house style, magnified across three rare cask dimensions. The Dalmore 35 Year Old is a masterclass in composure. Crafted from a trinity of exceptional casks—American white oak ex-Bourbon, rare Colheita Port pipes, and 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts—it represents one of the distillery’s most refined releases. Once these elements reach peak maturity, they’re married in first-fill Bourbon barrels to harmonise into a single, seamless expression. Only a limited number of bottles are released, a fact that underscores both the rarity of the spirit and the patience involved in its production. Each cask contributes its own texture and tone: the Port gives ripeness, the Sherry brings complexity, and the Bourbon barrels anchor the whisky with classic Highland warmth. A contemplative dram built for those who seek nuance and depth. Best served neat, savoured slowly with toasted nuts or dark stone fruit tarts. Tasting Notes NOSE – Aromatic and rich Colombian coffee, liquorice, orange, molasses, cherries and ginger. PALATE – Spiced and layered Marmalade, ground cinnamon, chocolate cake, chestnut, and raisin. FINISH – Deeply textured Mango steeped in aged Port, plums, and rich pineapple.

Cristal is a remarkably balanced and refined champagne whose length is inimitable. It has a silky texture and fruity aromas, complemented by a powerful mineral quality with white fruit and citrus notes. Cristal is a wine that keeps well: it can be conserved for over twenty years without losing its freshness and character. Produced uniquely during the best years, when the Chardonnay (around 40%) and Pinot noir (around 60%) grapes have attained perfect maturity, Cristal is aged for 6 years in Louis Roederers cellars and left for a further 8 months after dégorgement. Today Louis Roederer remains one of the very few remaining family owned Houses in Champagne with 7th generation Frederic Rouzaud at the helm. From the 100 hectares acquired in 1850 by Louis Roederer, the Domaine today extends over 240 hectares averaging 98% on the official Echelle classification. All vineyard acquisitions follow Louis Roedererâs strict 70% policy â that is ownership of at least 70% of the total production. All Louis Roederer Cuvees are Estate grown with the exception of Brut Premier which is 60% estate fruit and 40% fruit sourced from long-term contracted growers. Louis Roederer farm 65 Ha of their Domaine vineyards under a biodynamic and organic regime as part of what Chef de Cave Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon says is a work in progress. In 2012 Louis Roederer became the largest biodynamic producer in Champagne.

This whisky has been awarded the Trophy at the International Spirits Challenge in 2004, 2006 and 2008. As well, the "World's Best Blended Whisky" at the World Whiskies Award in 2007 and 2008! Since 1923, Suntory has pioneered the Art of Japanese Whisky. The creation and innovation unique to Suntory Whisky is revered among whisky lovers worldwide. The Hibiki range of whiskies are harmonious, blossoming and subtle, celebrating an unrivaled art of blending, fine craftsmanship and a sense of luxury from the House of Suntory. Hibiki, meaning “resonance” was launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary, and has ever since been embraced as the paragon of The Art of Japanese Whisky, the very product of Japanese nature and her people. "Kanzen" or complete, the Hibiki Whisky range is a harmonious blend of several malt and grain whiskies which are meticulously blended to create a full orchestra of flavors and aromas.

Château Pétrus is undoubtedly the greatest wine of Pomerol and one of the most sought-after wines of the entire Bordeaux region. Made from mainly Merlot grapes, this property has produced many magnificent vintages under the management and ownership of the Moueix family. Less than 4000 cases are produced in most vintages.

Chris Ringland's Barossa Ranges Shiraz is steeped in the Barossas post-colonial story and the high art and science of winemaking. Typically deep in colour with intense dark berry, paneforte, espresso roasted chestnut aromas, it displays a plush and concentrated palate with blackberry, mocha, paneforte spicy flavours and dense fine chocolaty tannins. Despite the opulence, flamboyance, richness and concentration, the wine has superb percussion and freshness. The wine is a small vinification of around four to five hogsheads or 1500 litres. The "unusually thick skinned" Shiraz is entirely sourced from Chris Ringland's dry-grown vineyard on the edge of the Barossa Valley, but technically in Eden Valley, along Flaxman's Valley near Randall's Hill. The wine is "painstakingly hand-made" in open fermenters and regularly pumped-over to extract colour, flavour and tannins. After draining and pressing through a traditional basket press, fermentation is completed in 100% new French oak hogsheads. A period of up to 50 months oak maturation follows to achieve optimum complexity and balance between oak and fruit. The extraordinarily high release prices (higher than Penfolds Grange), limited production and reputation make Chris Ringland Barossa Ranges Shiraz the stuff of legend.
