Rounded and smoky - like burning Applewood - with creamy toffee, aniseed, treacle and dates. A curious suggestion of juicy fruits, such as peach and banana. With a drop of water, reminders of Ardbeg's classic fragrance lime, pine resin, fennel, saddle soap and tar. A gentle waxiness, like fragrant candle wax, and hints of smoked herbs. An Oa gives a final subtle reminder of the sea with briny notes and seaweed but always accompanied with creaminess. A smooth, creamy texture leads into a huge syrupy sweetness, flavours of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange and smoky tea leaves. Gentle, sweet spices (nutmeg & cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes. Wood is always present in the spirit, gently nutty and reminiscent of a carpenter's workshop. A long, sweet finish, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty biscuit notes.

White American oak, 30 year old Matusalem Olorosso Sherry casks and Premier Cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. The final blend has an enveloping aroma and flavour of the finest hand-made cigars; rich and smoky and extremely long lasting.

In 1999, Guillermo Erickson Sauza decided to bring back the old Sauza family distillery to life. Today he produces Tequila Fortaleza there using 100% stone-milled agave, entirely produced on the estate which lies right in the middle of the town of Tequila.

It has an amazingly soft texture with a vegetal sweetness balanced against soft and sweet vanilla notes from the ex-bourbon barrels in which it is rested.

Crystal Head Vodka is the realisation of the dream and vision of well-known actor Dan Aykroyd and colleague, fine artist, John Alexander. Both are avid researchers into the phenomenon that is the 5,000 to 35,000 year old Crystal Heads that have been found strewn around the globe from Tibet to the USA. This was the inspiration behind the extraordinary crystal head bottle and the purest vodka held within. With water sourced from the pure springs of Newfoundland, quadruple distillation through semi-precious crystals and with no additives, oils or sugars of any kind. Now available in the perfect 50mL serving size, the only thing needed to enjoy this miniature Crystal Head Vodka is a glass and one's own pure spirit.

Cincoro Tequilas stand apart as a truly unique creation, meticulously crafted using Weber blue agave sourced from both the highland and lowland regions. What sets Cincoro apart is the careful separation of the agave, which is cooked and distilled separately before being expertly blended to create a singular, exceptional tequila. Building upon the award-winning foundation of Cincoro Blanco, Cincoro Añejo undergoes a remarkable aging process, maturing in barrels for over two years. This extended aging takes the tequila beyond the realm of fresh agave flavors, infusing it with the deep richness of toasted oak. The result is a captivating copper-coloured spirit that unfurls a symphony of flavors. From the moment it graces the palate, Cincoro Añejo reveals an evolving masterpiece of fresh-cut wood, notes of maple, hints of dark chocolate, and a subtle touch of black pepper. Its complexity is truly a thing of beauty. Cincoro Añejo deserves to be savoured in its purest form, without the dilution of ice. Allow the tequila to take centre stage and appreciate its depth and character. For those who prefer cocktails, keeping it classic with an elevated Old Fashioned allows the tequila to shine while adding a touch of sophistication. Cincoro Añejo's exceptional quality and craftsmanship have not gone unnoticed. It was crowned Tequila of the Year at the esteemed 2019 New York International Spirits Competition, solidifying its position as a true standout in the world of tequila.
