Not to be confused the Taketsuru - a blended malt named for the founder of the company Masataka Taketsuru - this non age statement blend is named Nikka Tsuru, the Japanese word for crane, the graceful bird who's likeness adorns the exterior of this attractive ceramic decanter.

Since 1984, each Master Distiller of Midleton Very Rare uses their eye for detail, their passion for quality whiskey and their exemplary skill to create the pinnacle of Irish whiskey - Midletons special vintage release. The latest chapter of this renowned collection is adorned with the signature of their Master Distiller, Kevin O’Gorman. After months of exploration, O’Gorman crafted a balanced blend of rare and hand-selected single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys from Midleton’s exclusive inventory to create this truly special release. Matured in lightly charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels, the Midleton Very Rare 2023 Vintage Release delights with decadent flavours and a tantalising aroma. The aroma, taste and finish of this whiskey will enliven the palates of those new to this collection while taking the seasoned whiskey collector on a journey through an exciting exploration of taste. If history has taught us anything, it’s that no idea is new—but this idea, grown from an appreciation of what has come before, is a new take on an old legacy inspired by Midletons commitment for a greener future. The new secondary Midleton pack takes inspiration from the original cardboard box created for their first vintage in 1984. This original box ran from the inaugural year in 1984 until 1990. They were hard cardboard boxes lined with a beautiful golden fabric, while each bottle was 750ml topped by an old-style screw cap. In 1990 the bottle was changed to the new European regulation size of 700ml, while the oak boxes replaced the original cardboard cases. A metallic plate decorating the front of the box replaced the old, printed title on the cardboard boxes from the 1980’s. 2017 saw a new double-doored wooden box introduced, and a new bespoke bottle with the inclusion of the Midleton pen nib. Added to this, a new label adorned the bottle inspired by the original from 1984. 2023 completes the circle with the return of a more sustainable offering. The nose opens with an intricate medley of fruits including nectarines, ripe melon, green apple, and apricot. A solid foundation of pot still spices, showcasing notes of freshly peeled ginger and crushed peppercorns, work in tandem with the aged grain’s perfumed notes of dried flowers and delectable golden syrup. The oak continues to reveal itself, adding notes of vanilla, combined with a honeycomb sweetness and freshly roasted coffee beans. The palate is luscious at first with succulent fruits and a distinctive creaminess along with a herbal quality akin to camomile tea. The pot still spices add depth and intrigue as they weave amongst the floral grain qualities found lingering throughout. The charred oak’s influence continues to build over time creating additional complexity as the wood-derived spices complement the ever-present fruits of candied orange and dried apricot. On the finish the fruits and pot still spices build to a crescendo before giving way, leaving the final say to the oak tannins and antique grain whiskey.

Clase Azul is a Mexican tequila brand that has been sharing the magic of Mexican culture with the world for the past 25 years. The brand was born from a dream to showcase the beauty of Mexican traditions and land. Its iconic decanter, a unique creation made by Mexican artisans, was the starting point of this dream. The name Clase Azul, meaning blue class, was inspired by the blue agave used to make their spirits and the paint on their first Reposado decanter. Despite facing challenges such as natural disasters and financial crises, Clase Azul has stayed true to its ideals and overcome adversity. In 2007, the brand founded Tradición Mazahua, a ceramic workshop where Clase Azul artisans dedicate themselves to creating the brand's decanters as a tribute to Mexican culture. Today, Clase Azul is proud to share the magic of Mexico with more than 55 countries. The brand has transformed into Clase Azul México, but it still preserves the spirit that drives it to showcase the beauty of Mexican culture to the world. Clase Azul México aims to transcend and represent Mexican culture around the world with its exquisite creations and spaces that reveal the heart of Mexico. The agaves used for Clase Azul tequilas grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of red-coloured earth that creates unique properties in the plant. To create their exquisite tequilas, Clase Azul follows a long transformation process that involves slow-cooking the agave piñas in masonry ovens, milling them to extract the sugars, fermenting them with patented yeast, and double-distilling them in copper stills. Clase Azul Tequila Plata is the unaged tequila that captures the notes of the agave, but the journey isn't over yet. The tequila is matured in casks made from oak or other types of wood, allowing it to develop a more complex profile. Clase Azul also honours the tradition of mezcal, which can be made from a wide range of agave species and reflects the soil and conditions that have nourished the agave. The artisanship found in Clase Azul's decanters is a reflection of Mexico's cultural diversity. Each decanter is a creative process that demands artistic drive, technical ability and knowledge passed down for generations. The tequila decanters tell stories through their decoration, while the mezcal decanters display caps decorated with precious artisanal techniques. This Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi has a decanter that is inspired by legendary tales from San Luis Potosí, an oneiric treasure, the spirit and decanter of the newest icon from Clase Azul captures the essence of this state’s desert slopes and valleys. This mezcal is made with green agave, also know as Maguey Verde or Agave Salmiana, a plant native to the deserts in the state of San Luis Potosí. Agave Salmiana is mostly found in Central Mexico. It is originally from the highlands in Coahuila, Durango and San Luis Potosi, but it is now cultivated in warm climates across the globe. This agave is often used in modern landscaping, but it can also be used to produce some very unique mezcal. It's also known as “The Green Giant” for it's large size, and it can take up to 25 years to reach maturity. It is also known as Maguey verde in San Luis Potosi and potentially other regions of Mexico. The decanter itself is a work of art, hand-carved by artisans from a small community of the Mazahua people, the design on this special piece evokes a sense of timelessness and cultural heritage. Adding a vibrant touch to the decanter is the unique and colourful cap, crafted by artisans from the Wixárika culture. Handmade using a technique of coloured yarn appliqué, the decanter’s cap represents a beautiful desert landscape of mountains and valleys overflown by bright red finches. Each piece requires over three hours of meticulous craftsmanship from our artisans. Crystal clear with silver highlights, this mezcal has aromas of cooked agave, caramel, green chile, sweet fruit and freshly cut grass with more subtle aromas of wildflowers. The palate is full bodied with herbal front with hints of caramel, lime zest and clove, with a mineral and spiced aftertaste. Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi pairs beautifully with a variety of soft cheeses, lychees, plums and milk or white chocolate.

Established in 1994 Sullivans Cove is the quintessential small-batch luxury whisky. Distilled in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove single malt is made using traditional methods and 100% Tasmanian ingredients. Inspired by nature and patiently aged the distillers aim to seek the sublime. Each cask is nurtured to it's natural peak, thousands of tiny decisions go into helping each cask reach its full potential. No two batches will be the same and every batch an opportunity for exploration. Tasmania has some of the cleanest water in world, making it an ideal place for producing world class whisky. Tasmania also has some of the best barley growing land in Australia. The combination of good grain and good water is the foundation of all good whisky. 100% Tasmanian malted barley is used to make all Sullivans Cove whiskies. The wash is brewed locally by brewers with decades of experience before being double distilled in a unique, Tasmanian built pot still (her name is Myrtle). The first distillation, known as the "wash run" produces "low wines" of about 20% abv. The low wines are then put back through the still for the "spirit run" to produce a spirt of around 70% abv. This spirit is then diluted to 63.5% abv before it enters into the casks for ageing. The majority of whiskies are aged in either 200L American oak ex-bourbon barrels, or 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels. Allowed to mature over many years in the unique Tasmanian climate - generally between nine and eighteen years. Sullivans Cove French Oak Single Tawny Cask Tasmanian single malt whisky has become a legend in its own right, one of the most sought after whiskies in the world, and the bottle that put the Australian whisky industry on the map after winning World’s Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014. In order to create this award winning single malt whisky, Sullivans Cove's team selected the purest ingredients and highest quality French oak Tawny casks (Australian port-style wine), which impart rich flavours of chocolate, dried fruit and powerful oak. Each barrel displays its own special character, producing only a few hundred bottles of rare quality, so each time another Sullivans Cove French Oak is opened, a new page in Sullivans Cove's famed story is turned.

Product Description Sullivans Cove American Oak Second Fill Single Cask TD0199 is a rare single malt that sits at the crossroads of the distillery’s American and French oak traditions. Distilled in 2007 and matured for 12 years in a 300L American oak cask seasoned with Australian tawny, this bottling offers a nuanced twist on the house’s signature ex-bourbon profile. With only 479 bottles drawn, it’s a standout in the distillery’s Cask Variations series. Unlike the standard American Oak expressions, TD0199 is not “finished”—it has spent its full maturation in ex-tawny, giving it layered complexity. Expect the classic vanilla and oak brightness of American cooperage tempered by rich dried fruit, cardamom, and the silky warmth of fortified wine. It’s a whisky that reads like pastry: lush, spice-dusted, and utterly indulgent. Each element of this release—from the 100% Tasmanian malted barley to the custom-built pot still Myrtle—is part of Sullivans Cove’s obsessive approach to craft. The result is a spirit that’s as precise as it is expressive, and a compelling exploration of what American oak can become in a different context. Tasting Notes NOSE – Fruit and florals Peaches, vanilla and bay leaf rise above subtle spice and pastry sweetness. PALATE – Silky and spiced Rich layers of cardamom, golden fruit, and toasty oak unfold with comforting depth. FINISH – Lingering warmth Long and balanced, with soft tannins and a slow taper of dried apricot and wood spice. Reviews & Accolades “This superb whisky is both comforting and exciting to the palate, recalling the mouth-watering flavour of a fruit-laden pastry like a French tarte tatin made with peaches, cardamom pod and bay leaf.” – Heather Tillott, Head Distiller
