Each 500ml hand-crafted cocktail lid is manually dipped in wax with a silver foil swing tag, presented in a hand wax dripped, thick cardboard cylinder box. As each Gift Box is manually waxed, no two boxes are the same, some minor organic imperfections may be visible.Old Fashioned:The Old Fashioned is said to have been first created at the Pendennis Club, a famous gentlemens club in Louisville, Kentucky in 1881 in honour of Colonel James E. Pepper famed bourbon distiller, who then introduced it to New York high society during his frequent visits to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York. They clearly embraced it, given how the infamous Mad Men had such a taste for it 80 years later in the 1960s Manhattan advertising scene. The Old Fashioned has had a makeover or two over its time. But this smooth, bitter, sweet simplicity of Bulleit Straight Bourbon Whiskey, traditional Angostura Bitters, and sugar cane syrup is a tonic that Don Draper himself would approve of.Serving Suggestions:Serve Dr Onyx Old Fashioned gently swirled in a short glass over ice, with a twist of orange zest. Pinch the zest so the oils spray over the drink before dropping it into the glass.

Fully matured in Melbourne without a peat bog in sight, now thats UNEXPEATED.Youve never tried a Starward whisky like this before. Peated, smoky whisky barrels meet red-wine-barrel-aged single malt. Islay, Scotland melds with Melbourne, Australia. And old worlds and new worlds collide.We started with our signature red-wine-barrel-aged single malt, its flavour fruit-forward and juicy. Then we swerved from the expected. Heavily-peated whisky barrels direct from Islays finest distilleries would give our whisky a peat character never yet tasted in Starward.In each sip of Unexpeated, ripe red berries meet a coastal peat smoke. Sweet peat lingers in the aroma and lengthy finish.Pair with smoky dishes like trout or grilled eggplant for a flavour sensation. Sip alongside oysters or punchy Roquefort cheese.When you take tradition and make it your own, delicious things happen.

COLOUR: Deep rich copper with reddish hues. NOSE: Rich with dates, figs and sweetness of dark molasses. PALATE: Well balanced and complex. Dried fig, sweet malt, vanilla and spices with creamy mouth feel. FINISH: Superb oak influence, lovely finish with satisfying after taste that lingers on the palate.

St Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Proudly, a wine style that hasnt succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.

Distinctively "cabernet", and clinging to its youth tenaciously, the 2015 Bin 407 is only just starting to show some evolution. The elegant tannins are beginning to resolve, the dense, dark fruit softening - the layers melding. Cassis, black currant, mocha and mint flavours shine through. There's lots more to this multi-layered wine for you to discover. It's exciting to drink top cabernets like this, but no need to hurry - it's a brilliant drink now, and will continue to improve for ten years.

Nestled amongst coastal rainforest in the Byron Bay hinterland, our terroir is uniquely influenced by the powerful Pacific Ocean. 'The Original' is matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks and is a whisky true of its natural environment. The colour of a Byron Bay sunset. The palate offers soft vanilla, crème brulée and biscotti characters, layered over distinct notes of pear, coconut and buttery macadamia.

6x 100ml Tequila. Tequila: Mexican derived Tequila is traditionally served neat – without lime and salt. Mexicans save the lime, salt and Tequila combination for Margaritas – which happens to be one of our most popular cocktails. Silver is the Tequila of choice, which is made from the blue agave plant – larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste, the blue agave is an important economic product of Jalisco, Mexico due to its role in producing and exporting Tequila. Tequila is known to aid digestion and help lower blood sugar. So, this is the perfect preparatory tonic for those with plans for a Mexican style feast. Serving Suggestions: Serve in a short glass over plenty of ice. Mix with soda and a squeeze of fresh lime, grapefruit soda, or fresh pineapple juice, or mix up your traditional Bloody Mary by using Tequila as the base. Volume: 100ml, 38% Alcohol, Approx. 3.0 Standard Drinks.
