Rum exclusively from the pot still rums, aged twelve months in barrels.

Soft nose, becoming powerful with aeration with dominant cooked fruit, blond tobacco and honey.  Aromas of great intensity and diversity on the palate: dry and stewed fruit, butterscotch, acacia honey, tan, tanned leather, sandalwood.  Undeniably one of the classics.

Luxardo have been making Limoncello since 1821, using only Italian lemons.

Serve neat from the freezer over crushed ice, or with tonic, sparkling wine, in iced tea or over vanilla gelato or sorbet. Limonocello as it should be.

Hailing from Northumberland, Hepple Gin is crafted using a rather intricate production method, which includes pot stills, vacuum distillation and a super-critical CO2 extraction process! Using a selection of botanicals at various stages of the process, including Italian, Macedonian, and locally picked juniper, alongside Amalfi lemon and lovage, all resulting in this fascinating tipple!

This release from the Keepr's team is made using a classic London Dry Gin recipe and is then infused with Raw Cotswold Honey from Oxfordshire.

This is a small batch Gin which is produced in batches of 300-500, with each batch being made with honey from a different hive, that can be traced by the bottle to see which hive the batch is from.

The result is a Gin which is packed full of Sweet Honey notes throughout, with hints of Spiced Juniper and Toffee, finished off with a Vanilla Undertone. Try neat on the rocks.

A sublime Cru Barbaresco, from the legendary Produttori. Lovingly referred to as ‘The Tomboy.’ by the winemaker, Aldo Vacca. The highest and most northerly of the cru's - a blessing in this warm vintage - Ovello is an exuberant and full wine, with a high quality, bold tannin structure and a multifaceted profile. Explosive on the palate, with blood-orange, sour cherry, and sweet rose, fleshed out with mirabelle plum and pomelo. Heady flower-shop aromas and citrus leaf notes bring dynamism to the mid-palate, leading to a complex and satisfying wine that is ultimately refreshing and extremely moreish. 2020 - 2024

Benromach 10 year old bottled at a significantly higher strength - 100° Proof (more commonly known as 57% ABV these days). Intense and flavourful, with a good whack of smoke and Sherried malt at its core, this ought to be an excellent choice for winter evenings. Dark chocolate with vanilla cream at its core. Dates, banana and peat smoke creeping in. Dark fruits and smoky embers. Oaky hints on the mid-palate give it yet more character and smoke persists on the long finish.

Kaiyo's stock of Mizunara oak casks is its pride and joy. Known to impart a subtle and unusual collection of aromas and flavours to whisky during maturation, it's this wood which is often credited with setting Japanese whisky apart. Kaiyo doubles down on its cask maturation, sending the full casks off to sea for months at a time, allowing the natural motion to ensure constant movement, and thus contact between whisky and wood. Delicate, wheaten nose, with vanilla, ripe dried fruit and hints of cherry. Spicy and oaky on the palate, with dried orange and burnt caramel and a long, lingering finish. Utterly sublime.

Our favourite Gin discovered on holiday at St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly. Lovely balance of piney juniper, piquancy of cardamon, with a hint of orange, herbal lime leaf and warm familiar notes of cassia. Serve a large measure of Island Gin over ice, garnished with a fresh kaffir leaf and a dried orange slice, with two measures of tonic.

From Australia's high altitude Clare Valley. The Gewurztraminer vines at Skillogalee are grown using minimal intervention and sustainable farming practices to minimise the impact on our environment. The wine was made on-site at the Skillogalee winery.

Pale straw yellow in appearance with green tinges. Exotic aromatics of orange blossom and quince with ginger spice and orange zest follow through onto the palate which is viscous and round with fruit sweetness, balanced by refreshing, juicy acidity and a lingering, dry finish.

A fantastic food matching wine, spanning most genres: top of the list should be lightly-spiced, contemporary Asian food, fresh summertime salads and flavoursome white meat dishes.

The Pinot Noir Riserva 'Jura' by Nals Margreid is an elegant and classy interpretation of this classic Burgundy grape. Sourced from vineyards in the municipality of Appiano, in the foothills of the Dolomites on dense morainic soils. 

Vivid and bright in the glass, the nose invites with rich hints of strawberries, raspberries and red currants, with undertones of earth, balsamic notes and undergrowth. Fleshy and ripe on the palate with delicate tannins and an aromatic finish of cloves. Delicious.

Sauvignon Salici 2017 is bright, crisp and extremely nuanced and showing the unique character of the region. Traces of crushed stone and mint are very nicely concentrated in the glass amongst a multi-layered bouquet with appetising toast notes, candied orange peel and ripe stone fruit.This energetic Sauvignon shows a highly independent and appealing personality. It is the essence of Sauvignon Bianco with Friulian fingerprint. An utterly individual take on this classic grape - a world away from Marlborough!

From Australia's Barossa Valley, this deep, rich, and sticky Muscat wine is simply divine. Full of rum, raisin, and date aromas, opulent with exotic spice and toasted nuts. Serve alongside a dried fruit and cheeseboard, or with Middle Eastern inspired desserts - a nod to the grapes origin.

An inviting nose of soft red fruit with a floral hint of rose petal. The palate is more substantial with hints of orange peel amongst the red fruits and just a hint of cinnamon spice on the finish.

With its funky, wonky bottle, this is instantly eye-catching, but this wine is no novelty! Made from the Nebbiolo grape - of greater fame in Barolo - but making no less of a wine here. And easier to approach in early years. Aromas of eucalyptus, exotic spice, underbrush and aromatic herb lead the nose. The tightly knit palate offers cranberry, dried cherry, star anise and clove set against taut, close-grained tannins. Winner of the GamberoRosso Italian wine award for the region. An off-piste but truly rewarding wine from Piedmont. Bolognese anyone?

Vinted only in the best years, Jadot’s 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Celebration is aromatically expressive, with lovely bright, floral notes that play off a core of red berry and stone fruits. The gracious, almost feminine, bouquet is alluring and belies the structure that awaits.. Tiny yields and high skin-to-juice ratios give this wine with suprising tannic clout that temporarily obscures the fruit until it unfoldds gracefully in the glass, whereupon the aromatic complexity comes through. It will be interesting to see if the 2012 softens over time, or if it gains volume - it certainly has the structure to age beautifully, either way. One to lay down and enjoy over many a year to come.

An opulent nose displays elevated notes of ripe plums, dark chocolate, exotic spices and charred-oak influences. A fine and focused palate emerges, where flavours of fresh berries, cherry plums and dark chocolate feature predominantly, beautifully enhanced by classy use of French oak barrels.  With time in the glass, a thick stream of licorice, blackberry, cloves and sappy, cedar-oak develops, and an unexpected treat appears in the form of truffle and leather notes. At all points this wine feels fresh, fine, and distinctive. A wine easily consumed whilst young but with clear rewards to those you choose to cellar for longer.

Massal Selection Pinot noir cuttings from the Côte de Nuits planted in marl/limestone/clay soils, this is just the 2nd vintage of this “GG,” and it’s a beauty; wonderfully polished, rich and sophisticated wine; serious dark energy and density and a lovely spice-box charachter. Though not well-known outside of Germany (yet) the Dautel family are amongst the most highly regarded winemakers in the region. Organic practice, though not certified, this is a living, beathing, deliciously aromatic and enjoyable Pinot noir. Somehow evokes the sesnes like being around a campfire in autumn. Go enjoy!

Impressive Gruner Veltliner from the low yielding Breiter Rain vineyard. An inviting and voluptuous nose with spicy fruit and hints of honeysuckle. Textural and weighty on the palate - slightly honeyed with smoky notes, stone fruit, fresh balancing acidity and a long, dry finish. This is a serious wine with an ageing potential of 8+ years.

A blend of Chardonnay grapes and a small quantity of Grechetto make a wine that can age over time and represent the elegance and complexity of this unique estate. Cervaro della Sala was one of the first Italian white wines to have malolactic fermentation and aging take place in oak barriques. A masterful wine, from THE Italian winemakers, Antinori. 

A South African heritage. Broad and muscular with ripe, rich flavours of blackcurrant and undergrowth,with hints of chocolate and green bell pepper all enveloped in an elegant style. An iconic Bordeaux blend from this historic producer. One to put away for a while to let fully mature.

Californian Samanatha O'Keefe is really blazing a trail in the mountains above False Bay. Aged in some new as well as some old oak barrells, this wine is a poised and balanced as a ballerina, and equally supple, agile and lithe. I refuse to make the old comparisons to wines of the old world, because this could well be better. Yes, and guaranteed special corks guarantee zero corked bottles, mean that careful cellaring for up to 25 years will result in incomprable results. I would rather you drink this, but investors will also be rewarded.

Complex and elegant aromas of blackberries, ripe plums and cherries combine with subtle hints of vanilla and toasty notes. Beautifully textured with a mouth-filling palate of ripe fruits against a mineral backdrop and a long lasting finish. A truly stunning wine at this price. Decanter's Platinum Award winner 2018.
