Gilles and Shaun, winemaker and bartender, were first united over their love of the negroni. They were both convinced that the sweet vermouth used in the classic should never overpower the gin. Accordingly, they created the Sweet to be perfectly balanced both as a vermouth and as a component of the cocktail.

Carpano Antica Formula, first created in 1786, is an authentic Italian vermouth recipe and one of the first vermouth ever made. It is made from white wine, Piedmont's muscatel and the rich wines from southern Italy. It is produced in limited quantities with expert craftsmanship. Traditionally served straight and well chilled as an aperitif or used to transform a common Manhattan cocktail or as a key ingredient in the Negroni cocktail.

A hand-selected parcel of 10-year-old South Australian Tawny has been finished in first fill, small format ex-Bourbon barrels for 6 months resulting in this expressive example from the house of Galway Pipe. The small format Bourbon barrel ageing has a profound influence amplifying the premium tawny's character with exotic bourbon notes of charred wood, rye, and toasted malt. With complex flavours on the palate such as caramel, vanilla, fruitcake, and an abundance of sweet spice entwining harmoniously with the tawny's essence to create a perfect union.

Port lovers have known about the quality of Galway Pipe for decades and with an average age of twelve years that gives this iconic tawny luscious flavours of fruitcake and raisin, it's balanced nicely by nutty rancio characteristics.
