Inspired by traditional Rock & Rye recipes, Hochstadters Slow and Low combines a master blend of aged rye whiskies, three citrus peels: lemon, grapefruit and orange before being infused with a tiny amount of 100% raw, local honey and pure cane rock candy - creating a drink similar to an Old Fashioned. The drink itself is mellow with slightly sweet flavours exceptionally balanced with citrus, grapefruit and rock candy notes. A smooth, long finish follows, reminiscing of honey, orange and rye whiskey character.

Nardini has been produced in Bassano del Grappa since 1779, the oldest grappa distillery in Italy. Fruity, spicy, harmonious. A unique liqueur characterised by floral fragrances and subtle hints of spices. Grappa, sour cherry, orange and herbs are the key ingredients in the precious recipe guarded by the Nardini family. The sweet and spicy notes surprise even the most demanding palates, right from the first sip.

Tasting note: Made from 100% Arabica beans (reportedly, some other brands rely on artificial flavouring). Fabulous burnt umber appearance is thick and glass staining. Issues aromas of freshly roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate and vanilla. The tequila base is more salient in the mouth, with a creamed-up texture that’s akin to coffee flavoured milk with a splash of tequila and dark chocolate for good measure. Excellent sweet-dry balance. Impressive. 34% Alc./Vol.

Legend has is that over a hundred years ago, in a tropical Australian manor, the Lamington was accidentally created when a maid dropped her governor's favourite sponge cake in a vat of melted chocolate. Since then, it's become an icon - as Australian as meat pies and Vegemite. So how better to celebrate our nation's signature sweet than to imbibe it in liquid form? Our lamington liqueur combines notes of chocolate, vanilla and coconut, blended in our sugarcane spirit and for today's modern rebellious spirits - boosted with a dollop of sweet strawberry jam. Drink it over ice or add some to your coffee. Share it on the verandah and celebrate what makes us uniquely Australian.

Naked Maraschino is an intense cherry liqueur that fuses traditional Italian Maraschino flavours with a smattering of Australian desert peaches. This luxurious liqueur is the result of over two years of experiments and trials. Many cherries were harmed in the process and White Possum make no apologies for their actions. Their final recipe goes something like this. First, they crush a ridiculous number of sour cherries into a paste, then slowly ferment the mixture over many weeks to extract those deep funky cherry flavours. This 'cherry wine' is then distilled in a pot still where we remove the sharp 'heads' and the lousy 'tails' of the distillate. From there, they let it rest and age in a small vat until the flavour mellows a little. Then they add a rich infusion of quandongs, a semi-sweet indigenous ‘peach’ that contributes a distinctly fruity aroma, and a couple of other herbs and roots before letting all the flavours rest further and marry together in harmony. Contains no artificial colours, flavours nor preservatives. All of White Possum's liqueurs, including Naked Maraschino, are bottled in recycled glass spirit bottles where possible. These bottles, harvested from a network of bars, are given a rough massage to strip the labels off, then a hardcore rinse, sanitisation and a polish before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.

In such a simple recipe, there are few places to hide, and here, the sheer quality of the ingredients used shines brightly. Complex layers of berry fruits, dark chocolate and Christmas cake spice work with the clean citrussy notes of the Macedon Dry base, all coming together to form a balanced, morish and stylish local coffee liqueur. Amp up your Espresso Martini or Irish Coffee or pour liberally over ice cream for a delicious twist on an Affogato.
