The roasty, vegetal aroma fills your mouth with your first sip. A subtle sweetness and wood-like fragrance appears as you exhale, and before you know it, you’re back for another sip. A familiar fragrance brings you back, the effortless combination of roasted hojicha tea with gin. Kagoshima, one of Japan’s leading tea-producing regions, is the only place such an unlikely but perfect match could happen.

The olive Gin is one of the original creations of the house. This olive Gin, with its unique aromatic profile, blends the flavour of black olives from Nyons and citrus notes with the slightly spicy flavour of juniper berries. An authentic Gin, worthy of the know-how of the Maison Familiale Gabriel Boudier, liquorist in Dijon since 1874. ORIGIN At the end of the Second World War, Maison Gabriel BOUDIER became one of the rare specialists in French Gin by winning the supply of Gin for the American army in Europe. Our Burgundy Gin is composed of 6 carefully selected aromatic plants: Black Olives from Nyons, Juniper, Coriander, Sweet Orange Peel, Angelica and Iris. The balance of the aromatic blend is subtly enhanced by the black olives of Nyons, giving this Gin its authenticity. ELABORATION Our Olive Gin is made by separate distillations of 6 "botanicals" in the family's copper still: Black Olives from Nyons, Juniper, Coriander, Sweet Orange Peel, Angelica and Iris. These distilla...

Family owned and run for over 170 years, the Glenfarclas distillery has produced a slightly smoky, spicy Scotch with a rich long lasting finish. The 15 Year Old is golden amber in colour, the nose shows rich oak and a hint of peat smoke, with soft fruity characters. It is firm-bodied with a luscious glorious oaky finish, with a touch of smoke and sherry sweetness.

Dewars 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky is carefully prepared by putting the whisky back into the cask to mature a second time after blending (double-aging). This method allows all of the older and characterful whiskies to mingle before bottling with resulting flavours of nut and marzipan, to name a few.

Sourced from dry-grown, hand tended vines in the north east of Victoria, this Beechworth Chardonnay from Savaterre will surely convince even the most hardened Chardonnay critic that modern Australian Chardonnay is of supreme world-class standard. Keppell Smith handcrafts a Chardonnay of utmost power and concentration that produces a length of flavour that borders on the immortal.

From one of Australia's most celebrated fortified producers, this is a great example of the style. Some burnt citrus and caramel flavours make it a lovely way to end the evening.

The aim with this Gin was to only use Tas native botanicals. I discovered some very impressive native berries, leaves and seeds however they could only be wild harvested which meant I could not get enough quantity to make it practical enough for an ongoing production. I have still been able to use some Tasmanian native botanicals however I have now broadened the list to only Australian native botanicals (plus the Juniper). Iam using 6 Native Australian botanicals with 3 of them never used before in any other Gin.All of my botanicals are vapour infused which is a technique not used too often with Australian Gins. Vapour infusion (as opposed to steeped) will give the Gin a much more delicate and subtle bouquet. My Gin is designed to smell beautiful. There will be delicate petal and citrus aromas with a hint of cut hay.

Utilising centuries of knowledge and tradition, yet not restricted by it, Starward is the brainchild of David Vitale who set out to harness the very best of Australia's barley, barrels and climate to create the ultimate new world whisky. Years of experimentation, adjustment, trial and even more adjustment has created Starward, a whisky that will challenge your perceptions of what Whisky can be. Artisan Victorian barley is sourced to begin the bespoke process which ends up in aged Australian Apera casks that have been re-coopered, re-toasted and re-sized. All of which help create a Whisky of smoothness, sweetness and unparalleled complexity.

One of the worlds most recognised Scotch Whisky's, Glenlivet is a supremely elegant whisky of rewarding and subtle complexity. Smoke, clover honey and heather will have you coming back for more time and again.
