Prohibition Christmas Gin is fast becoming a hallmark of Australian Yuletide traditions, and our 2021 vintage is no exception. Once again, it features all the luxurious complexity you’ve come to expect, including classic ‘Christmas pudding’ flavours from ingredients naturally macerated in our citrus-forward Australian dry gin. This season’s Adelaide Hills figs deliver more flavour than ever before, providing extra depth and complexity to support a backbone of dry gin, macerated cherries, and vanilla. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and a touch of star anise harmonise to create a rich spice hit. As always, it plays perfectly in your favourite Christmas cocktails, like a French 75 – on ice with a glacé cherry, or over Christmas pudding, custard, or ice-cream for a decadently festive dessert. The Bottle If you know and love this product, you’ll appreciate that the packaging is different every year, and is always a nod to the richness of the spirit within. This year, lustrous gold bottles hand-made in the Cognac region of France and are adorned with dripping white wax seals and delicate white print. This may be our most beautiful bottle yet!

The Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Ancient Reserve is a truly superb single malt aged in Oloroso (Sherry) and Bourbon casks. This has created an amazingly smooth, mellow, and full flavoured whisky.

Cold Compounded Italian Premium Gin obtained through the infusion of an unusual bouquet of 11 classic and exotic botanicals in pure neutral grain pot - stilled alcohol.

“Bluecoat Gin represents a revitalization of craftsmanship, urban renewal and responsible sourcing — three values that the Fishtown section of Philadelphia and Bluecoat represents. With a smooth foundational spirit, our distilling team was eager to experiment with the delicate touch of elderflower, and the new distillery only bottling reflects our distillers’ talents and the evolution of Bluecoat’s unique style. Bluecoat Elderflower is the continuation of our local legacy in gin.” — Andrew Auwerda, President of Philadelphia Distilling Tasting Notes: The infusion of organic elderflower through a maceration process gives our classic American Dry Gin a light floral taste and heady fragrance.

Chartreuse is an aromatic French liqueur flavoured with 130 herbs. Naturally green colour, it can be served cold or as a fragrant base to cocktails.

Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the style of the Rare Dry Gin but with the volume turned up slightly beyond 11. At 58.8% ABV the gin can support some more robust and interesting botanicals, so there are three new botanicals that are both new (and fresh), including fresh turmeric and ginger. Together they have heightened the spiciness of the gin, and the turmeric in particular has added weight and a lovely earthiness to the palate. Also in the botanical basket about half the normal oranges have been replaced with some explosive native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour and acid that is almost impossible to believe, and in the basket they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.

The process of Scotland's slowest distillation can be tasted in every dram of this Cask Strength Single Malt by Glengoyne. Hand-crafted from inception to glass, this single malt also shows the dramatic effect of warm air drying of the barley rather that using peat smoke. Bottled at the higher ABV of 58.7%, the balance between the subtle flavours imparted from the slow distillation and the power of the un-chillfiltered single malt imparts flavours of digestive biscuits, ripe bananas and a hint of pepper. Robust and full-bodied, this is a whisky of the utmost strength that should be enjoyed with some pure distilled water to your taste.

Don't be fooled by the nose into thinking this is a delicate and gentle Highlander, Glenfarclas is a brute at close quarters! Layers of flavour just keep coming and it is a true pleasure to savour.
