Ramsbury Gin is a rare thing, one of the few single estate gins made in the UK. Ramsbury believe that you can't make great gin without first making great vodka. Ramsbury Gin starts its journey on the estate as Horatio wheat. It is then distilled through their 43 plate copper still, creating a base spirit that gives the gin an incredibly smooth texture.  

Floral tones and crisp quince fades into more savoury juniper, with a refreshing finish and a touch of spice. Smoothness abounds and this single estate spirit sits at the sweeter end of London Dry Gin.

Our house favourite for a traditional, great value gin. The new incarnation of Hawthorn's London Dry Gin still pays homage to the creator's seafaring grandfather, a commander in the British Navy during the war, and also still features botanicals sourced from all over the world, including juniper from Macedonia, nutmeg from Sri Lanka and cassia bark from Indonesia.

The brand revamped its core expression to increase the strength. Previously bottled at 37.5% ABV, now at 41% ABV which, in our opinion, makes that zestiness shine.

Taste a piece of history! Revived by the great-great-grandson of the original James eadie, this blend brings together the single malts of the range into a wonderfully full and expressive whisky that surpasses the sum of its parts. Regular award winner.

Nose: Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut.

Palate: Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke.

Finish: Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.

Distilled with nine botanicals, Cotswolds Dry Gin is a London Dry with an aromatic twist. Juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, local lavender, bay leaf, hand-peeled fresh lime and pink grapefruit zest, cardamom and black peppercorn are distilled in a copper pot still, resulting in a rich and robust, award-winning gin.

Cotswolds Distillery does not remove the essential oils in their gin as these create a rich flavour and mouthfeel. As a result, the gin forms a unique pearlescent cloud when ice or tonic is added, and it tastes delicious!

BOTANICALS

''We work with nine carefully chosen ingredients, each lending their own individual characteristics, and all sourced with our usual attention to detail.

Sugar Kelp plays the starring role, bringing a complex, maritime edge to proceedings and we work with local diver and seaweed expert Lewis Mackenzie to gather this magical seaweed from our local sea-lochs in a sustainable harvest.

Lewis picks the gold-green fronds from hidden underwater forests by hand in the springtime before taking them to be dried locally.

When there is no 'r' in the month, the kelp is left to recover and grow, ensuring this vital local habitat for sealife is not harmed.''

HOW ITS MADE

''We make every drop of our award-winning Isle of Harris Gin here in the small village of Tarbert.

Our local distillers create this first offering from our island distillery in a small copper gin still which sits alongside her larger whisky-making sisters in the distillery's bright Spirit Hall.

We've nicknamed our gin still 'The Dotach' in honour of a similarly small and feisty local woman who is fondly remembered here in Harris from days gone by.

We use Sugar Kelp seaweed, gathered sustainably by hand from local sea-lochs, as our key botanical to express our island's unique maritime nature.

The spirit is softened by the fresh, low-mineral rainwaters which flow from the nearby source stream of Abhainn Cnoc a ’Charrain.

We bottle Isle of Harris Gin by hand here at the distillery too, before applying the labels and closing each one with a natural cork and wood stopper.

Finally, we apply a paper seal bearing our distillery's geographical coordinates to every single bottle by hand, your guarantee of a truly Outer Hebridean gin, made in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else.''

A much overlooked category, Manzanilla sherry has so much to offer and is the perfect aperitif. Totally bone dry, with its distinctive savoury character of green olive, salted almonds, seaside freshness and tang; in fact, the perfect partner to all those things, whether or not you have a beachside seat.

One of the UK's only single estate English vodkas, Ramsbury Vodka is distilled, blended and bottled in a historic Wiltshire countryside belonging to the renowned Ramsbury Estate. An ancient aquifer influences the locally sourced wheat and water to create an enigmatic and refined edition.

Each bottle possesses a distinguished aesthetic and takes effort to note the provenance and variety of the wheat used. A very dignified affair.

Domaine L’Ancienne Cure Jour de Fruit Monbazillac  is a wonderfully rich sweet wine made from low yields of late-harvested, botrytised, Semillon (90%) and Muscadelle (10%).  It has flavours of marzipan, orange peel and spices. Christian Roche has emerged in the last five years as one of the best growers in this appellation. A wonderful alternative to Sauternes, and better for youthful drinking.

Best drunk as an apéritif (with Roquefort), with foie-gras, melon, or with cakes and desserts.

37.5cl bottle.

Burgundy is famed for its fine wine rather than its Malt Whisky. But that might be about to change. What this region of France has made into an art form is long maturation, cask selection and refined flavours. Enter Michel Couvreur.

This Overaged Malt Whisky is a blend of some 50 different single malts matured for between 12 and 27 years in Sherry casks. The barrels are predominantly Oloroso with some Pedro Ximénez thrown in for good measure. Some of the Sherries were half a century old, and these casks were then filled with whisky while still slightly wet, further heightening the rich Sherry influence. The final whisky is a crazy melange of flavours and origins. There’s very Scottish notes of heather, marmalade, shortbread and peat smoke; something almost French Brandy-esque with its toasted nuts, toffee, tobacco, honey and dried flowers; and then finally there’s a big hit of sweet Sherry with Christmas cake, Armagnac-soaked dried fruit and that wonderfully oily and viscous texture. It’s remarkable stuff.

Based in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Michel Couvreur sources exceptional whisky from Scotland, then matures it in handpicked barrels of equally exceptional quality deep down in cellars beneath a château in Burgundy. 

Michel Couvreur began ageing whisky in 1978. His belief was that there’s more to whisky than terroir and the distiller’s hand. It was his opinion that it is all about maturation. And considering that whisky doesn’t truly become whisky until it has been aged in oak casks, he might well have been right. Michel Couvreur dynamited his own cellar in Burgundy, in which to mature his whisky. He set up a branch of the business in Old Meldrum, a village that is also home to Glen Garioch, and even dabbled in a little distilling at Edradour. When Michel Couvreur passed away at the age of 85, the business was handed over to his son. The quality remains impeccable, each bottle lovingly reduced in strength with imported Scottish water, hand labelled, hand corked and then hand waxed. And when it comes to that seal, please note that this is whisky from wine country, so please open with a corkscrew.

Totally unique to St. George’s Distillery. A local farming estate has been making their own Nog for generations, and very kindly allowed the distillery to borrow/steal the recipe. This is a very alcoholic cream and is best drunk in moderation. A very simple drink consisting of our Single Malt Whisky & cream. We think best served outdoors on a cold and blustery day. Perfect for long walks or a day fishing, or if you are not one to brave the elements, add some ice, a comfy chair and a log fire. Either way you are going to love this Nog.

  Elderflower is the quintessential scent of  British summer. We use hand-picked sprays to make our delicately floral presse. With 100% natural ingredients and Radnorshire spring water, this drink will add sparkle to your favourite summertime cocktails. Some fruit may settle, give our bottles a little shake or turn to release the flavour.

Dried fruits, caramel, and exotic spices. The ULTIMATE pairing for sticky toffee pud, & cream! 

  The Pickle House Spiced Tomato Mix is an award winning blend of tomato juice, our Original Pickle Juice and a generous amount of spice.Serve over ice for a Virgin Mary, with vodka for a seriously good Bloody Mary, with gin for a Red Snapper or topped with a light lager for a Michelada.Produced and hand bottled on the family farm in Suffolk, our Spiced Tomato Mix contains all natural ingredients, is suitable for vegans, and has a 12 month shelf life.

Using the classic British dessert of Summer Pudding as our inspiration we have a created a Fruit Gin Liqueur to be enjoyed up and down the country, from garden parties to palaces, come rain or shine. Local Strawberries, Raspberries, Redcurrants and Blackcurrants are blended with Foxdenton's own gin to create a sumptuous ‘Best of British Summertime’ Liqueur. With each berry clearly defined on the palate and some serious Gin heft on the finish we cannot imagine a drink more suited to celebration! Chin chin!

Heidi Schröck took over her family winery in 1983, in the historic village of Rust situated in the province of Burgenland about 5 miles from the Hungarian border. As Heidi explains “South-facing vineyards in a softly rolling landscape form an amphitheater around Rust on Lake Neusiedl bringing forth some of the best and most tradition-rich wines in Austria. Yearly hours of sunshine that lie much higher than the Austrian average combined with sandy soils mixed with clay and high calcium content provide the ideal prerequisites for impressive, full-bodied wines.

Medium sweet with rich, ripe stone fruit, green mango, and waxy-honeyed tones but with a refreshing seam of acidity that makes the wine buoyant and light. So much complexity here, and so much quality.

Taylor’s Historical Collection is a series of limited editions that pay homage to the changing shape of Port bottles since the early 18th Century. The first release was a charmingly dumpy bottle lovingly named “The Onion”, the second was a flatter flagon and a bestseller at Harvey Nichols called “The Chestnut”, and the latest is “The Mallet”. This striking shape had become well established in the UK by the 1730s and shows the progression from the globular bottle (that didn’t allow cellar ageing) towards the more modern cylindrical style we’re familiar with today.

This is an exceptional Tawny Port that is ready to drink and requires no decanting. A blend of carefully curated Ports from Taylor’s extensive Tawny stocks stored at Vila Nova de Gaia, all of which have been matured for long periods in wooden barrels imparting deep, nutty flavours. The result is very Christmassy, displaying plum, fig, sultana, raisin and marzipan notes, alongside leather, coffee, butterscotch, cigar box, and woody spices. We recommend serving at around 12-16°C with a cheeseboard, dark chocolate-based desserts, or festive fare such as Christmas cake, figgy pudding, stollen and mince pies.

Taylor’s hold the Royal Warrant as one of the Suppliers of Port Wine to Her Majesty The Queen. Although steeped in history as you would expect of a family-run business established in 1692, the forward-thinkers at Taylor’s are also committed to sustainable viticulture and have installed solar panels on three of their properties.

You’re probably wondering what Floc is! It’s a very delicious aperitif made with two thirds crushed grape juice and a third Armagnac. From esteemed Armagnac producer, Veuve Goudoulin. Floc is best served chilled or served over ice which makes it a great sunny weather drink!

Fresh and enjoyable with aromas and flavours of white grapes, dried fruits and acacia honey.

Calle 23 is the brainchild of Sophie Decobecq, a French born biochemist and engineer. Sophie has been living in Mexico for the past 15 years and her love for agave and Tequila never stops growing. It all began in 1999 when Sophie moved to Mexico, where step by step she started to enter the world of Tequila.

It was in 2003 when she started working on her very own project, which would later become Calle 23. Calle 23 Tequila is produced in San Pancho from agaves from the Highland region of Jalisco (fields between Arandas and Tepatitlan). The Highlands region grows plants that produce the perfect tequila tasting profile that Calle 23 wanted to achieve - fruity, round and spicy.

"Rich, ripe agave on the nose with notes of spearmint. Apples and pears on the palate with herbaceous overtones".

The lightly peated (12-15ppm) whisky is entirely matured in first-fill oloroso sherry butts, as you might have guessed from the name, sourced from the respected Bodega José y Miguel Martín in Andalusia, Spain. The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured is bottled at 46% ABV, with no colour added, and non-chill filtered. The below tasting note comes from Harrison Wood, blender at the Isle of Harris Distillery.

There are not many English Gin makers who create their own Spirit. The Witchmark Distillery harvest their own Barleyand distill a pure grain Spirit. Some of which is detined to become Whisky. Some of the tops and tails are used to create this London Dry Gin. The Fonthill Estate also has its own spring water. So this Gin really is very special, small batch and a true premium gin from a single source.

Aged in ex-rum casks made from the Mizunara Oak that grows in northern Japan. The twisted growth-habit makes for particularly difficult cooperage, but imparts a wonderful flavour and allows for a long, slow, micro-oxygenation through 8+ years of ageing. 

Quite exquisite, a sipping whisky for the connoisseur. 

An artisinal mezcal from Ojo de Dios (which translates at 'God’s eye'), produced from Espadin agave. This here is a Joven bottling, so after the agave is roasted for around 10 days and double distilled, it's bottled up without any ageing, packed full of fresh fruit, grassy agave and fragrant smoke.

One of the best Vodkas in Europe at the moment with a release of just 4,000 bottles per year. Complex and dense body; starts with soft sweet winter wheat followed by a nutty note and finally a complex dryness that flaunts the rye with a peppery note on the end.

This high alcohol, but low sugar coffee liqueur is strongly aromatic with fresh agave giving way to bitter, just brewed coffee and subtle sweet undertones. Abundant notes of espresso with rich dark chocolate, smoked cinnamon and liquorice harmonise on the tastebuds with an elegant, velvety and butterscotch finish. If you’re a fan of espresso martinis, then you’ll adore this smoky expression.  

Francisco Ortiz is a third-generation, award-winning Mezcal producer running Ojo De Dios, where modern, artisanal mezcal is crafted with passion and innovation, in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. The award-winning Espadin is the perfect introduction to the world of mezcal and alongside the Odd Café and Odd Hibiscus, we can see how this exciting brand is continuing to move forwards, pushing the boundaries of expected innovation.

BIG-SIPPING BOTANICAL APERITIVO (NON-ALCOHOLIC)

A deeply refreshing bittersweet aperitivo bursting with herbal and citrus notes. Hand blended in small batches on Lannock Farm, Botivo takes over 1 year to make from start to finish. All natural and made using no flavourings, essences or preservatives.

It’s name honours the renowned, Ellen Cuffe, Countess of Desart, an exceptional politician and philanthropist in early 20th century Ireland. Ballykeefe Distillery is proudly located on her former estate.

A Chilean Pisco made from Muscat grapes, resulting in an aromatic, floral and well-rounded spirit, sure to go handsomely in a Pisco Sour. The name, El Gobernador, means "the Governor" in Spanish. The heavily-moustached chap on the label certainly looks like someone you'd refer to as "Governor".

Lágrima (meaning 'tears') is the sweetest style of white Port. An intense yet elegant sweet wine with notes of caramel, honey, and nut - all balanced by fresh acidity and leading to a long and appealing finish. The grapes are grown on the schistous soils of the Douro region. Vinification is in closed fermentation tanks, which is interrupted through the addition of grape brandy to preserve a high degree of natural sweetness. The wine is then aged in wood in Wiese & Krohn's cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Drink chilled as an aperitif, or with fruity desserts. It has been filtered, so won't need decanting - once opened it should 'keep' and be enjoyable for a few weeks.

A collectors piece.

Unusually for a gin these days, the base spirit is produced from grapes (rather than grain) which was traditionally used in juniper spirits in the 14th century.Sing Gin hails from Yorkshire, aiming to capture the spirit of the Yorkshire Dales in a bottle. It's named after Kettlesing, the village where the family behind the gin live. The seven hand-crushed botanicals include juniper, mint, orange peel and, rather unusually, flax, which was chosen for its historical significance as an old Yorkshire crop.  A smooth gin which manages to balance historical and contemporary components.

A 'triple-sec' liqueur made from Oranges with an absolutely delicious flavour. An essential ingredient in the Margarita cocktail, but very good on its own or over ice. 70cl

A splendid red aperitif hailing from the Bordeaux region of France, Lillet Rouge is less famous than its Blanc sister (so beloved of James Bond) and will add welcome pep to your Manhattans and Negronis.

French Aperitif made from a blend of wine, liqueurs, fruits and herbs. It originated in the French village of Podensac and has been made since the late 1800s. Lillet Blanc is made from white wine and is drier than Lillet Rouge, its red-wine counterpart. Both are classically served over ice with an orange twist.

Lillet is a blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit liqueurs, aged in oak vats for around 12 months, during which it is given the same care as the Grands Crus (great wines) of Bordeaux.

Lillet Blanc has a golden colour with candied orange, honey, pine resin, lime and fresh mint aromas. Full and rich on the palate with a lovely, long aftertaste. Always serve well chilled in a Bordeaux wine glass... zest with a slice of orange or lime. Perfect with snacks and desserts!

Lillet blanc is the key ingredient in James Bond's Martini derivative, the Vesper, a drink created in deference to the beautiful double agent in Ian Fleming's Casino Royale and reffered to as Kina Lillet.

From the brewer. "Distilled with our deliciously smooth single estate vodka and with freshly pressed apples gathered from the Ramsbury estate, this Wild Apple Vodka Liqueur is a special limited edition for the festive period! With fresh apple notes and a sweet finish, this is perfect when mixed with a classic Hot Toddy"

Founded by husband and wife team Daric Schlesselman and Sarah Ludington in 2012, Van Brunt Stillhouse was inspired by the pioneering spirit of Cornelius Van Brunt, who was a farmer in the Dutch colony of Breukelen. The American spirit is aged in small casks for 18 months to develop the unique depth of flavour, including honey, clover and marmalade notes for a sweet profile. The perfect way to finish off the evening.

An absolute classic French vermouth aperitif. Like Lillet Blanc, the main grape variety in Lillet Rosé is Sémillon. These wines are combined with natural liqueurs, handcrafted in Podensac from sweet and bitter oranges and berries. It is this meticulously balanced blend that gives Lillet Rosé its delicate aromas.

Light aromas of fresh berries, orange blossom and grapefruit. Fresh, lively and fruity on the palate with balanced structure and great freshness. Enjoy before Duck a l'Orange or something equally French and delicious. 

Campari - an absolute classic from Italy.

Campari Bitter is one of the best known and most successful bitter liqueurs worldwide. The half-bitter liqueurs known in Italy as Amaro were used, originally, because of their digestive effect and were sold exclusively in pharmacies. However, as people began to appreciate and enjoy them more, other entrepreneurs began to produce the bitter for their own drinking purposes. Gaspare Campari was one of them and in 1862 presented his "Bitter all'uso d'Hollandia" for the first time in his own bar in the Galleria in Milan. And so Campari Bitter was born! 86 ingredients shape its flavour, including spices, herbs, fruits and roots from around the world. 

The most popular and classic way to enjoy Campari is as an aperitif. To do so simply pour the bitter liqueur over a few ice cubes. Even in long drinks, this Italian drink always taste great. You could try it for example, combined with soda, orange juice or other mixers such as Tonic Water. The bitters taste particularly great in cocktails like a Negroni. The combination of Campari, Gin and Vermouth with an orange zest is one of the absolute classics in the cocktail world- definitely a drink that you should mix with Campari.

Start Point is a gin from Salcombe in Devon in a London Dry style. The botanicals include Macedonian juniper, English coriander, grapefruit, lemon and lime peels, and 10 exotic botanicals. Cut with Dartmoor water, this is rich and full-bodied with notes of citrus, spice and a touch of sweetness.

Named for the iconic Sainte Marie lighthouse at the southern entrance to the Old Port of Marseille, this rosé gin from Salcombe is inspired by the flavours of the south of France. Distilled with Macedonian juniper, lemon verbena, rose petals, pink peppercorns and orange blossom among its botanicals, this delicately pink gin offers notes of fresh lemon peel, garden herbs, red fruits, white flowers and subtle, peppery spice.

This handsome bottle is part of Quaglia's delicious Mr. Quail & J.T. series of bottled cocktails! This here is the Negroni, with a tasty trio of red vermouth, dry gin and fragrant bitter. Before bottling it was left to age in an old oak barrel, allowing the spirits to rest and mellow. Make sure you don't skip on the ice and orange peel for this one!
