Double Gold | San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020

Rum and the sea are inseparable, and no rum is more akin to the sea and the seaman than is British Navy Pusser’s Rum. For more than 300 years, sailors of Great Britain’s Royal Navy were issued a daily ration of rum by the Purser (corrupted to 'Pusser' by the Jack Tars). From 1655 until the traditions termination on August 1st 1970, 'Pusser’s Rum' was one of the few daily comforts afforded those early seamen of Britain's Navy as they fought across the globe to keep the Empire intact and its sea lanes open. Pusser’s Rum was never sold or offered to the public, and if a rum connoisseur managed to acquire a tot or two, he saved it for a very special occasion. These contemporary bottlings bring the tradition to a wider audience.

Amaro Montenegro Digestif Liqueur (700ml)

Emilia-Romagna, ITALY
$60. 99
Bottle
$731.88 Dozen

ABV: 23%

Closure: Cork

Amaro Montenegro, "the liqueur of the virtues" , was created in 1885 thanks to the lengthy, impassioned experiments of a famous distiller and herbalist, Stanislao Cobianchi. The name "Montenegro" is a dedication to the beautiful princess Elena of Montenegro, who was engaged to Victor Emanuel III. In its over 100 years of history, Amaro Montenegro has seen its success grow continuously up to the present day, now being one of the leading brands on the Italian market. Produced from a blend of over 40 different herbs from all over the world Montenegro involves a distinct soaking and distillation process which results in a liquor sweet in taste with a slightly bitter finish. Appreciated as a digestive for consumption after meals, with soda, on ice or even hot. 23%Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Displays early botanical scents of orange peel, fresh not dried coriander, red cherry, pekoe tea cucumber. Palate entry is sweet at first then it quickly turns mildly bitter and botanical; by midpalate, there's a slight sweetness of tangerine/mandarin peel. Aftertaste is moderately bittersweet and citrusy. 90-95 points Highly Recommended - wineenthusiast.com
Deep copper hue. Rich, Christmas pie, nutmeg, and herb aromas are inviting. A soft entry leads to a sweetish, light-to medium-bodied palate of bitter, medicinal herbs, honey, dried blood orange peel, and treacle. Finishes with a great mix of the sweet and bitter elements. A deeply flavored, highly-drinkable digestif. International Review of Spirits Award: Gold Medal. 94 points (Exceptional) - tastings.com

Jalisco, MEXICO
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

Closure: Cork

Other reviews... The initial aroma is of black pepper and steamed broccoli. Following aeration, a bouquet of succulent scents of Brazil nuts, egg cream and light oak resin appear. An oily flavor of bacon is apparent at palate entry; at midpalate the pepper returns with added tastes of spinach, sage and butter. Finishes elegantly yet zestily as the pepper comes to the fore. Best Buy. 90-95 points - wineenthusiast.com
Although Mexico is famed as the land of the cactus, Tequila is in fact distilled from the fermented juice of the Agave Plant, (not a cactus) otherwise known as the ‘Century plant.’ The Agave plant resembles an unripe, oversized pineapple or spiked cactus which shoots a giant blossom that can take up to twelve years to produce. At maturity, it stands about 5 feet high, is bluish green in colour and has a heart or ‘pina’ . It is these hearts which are actually used in the distillation process, the sweet juice extracted by compression, steaming and washing prior to fermentation & distillation.
The fermentation stage determines whether the final product will be 100 percent agave or mixed ("mixto"). The highest-quality Tequila is made using only fermented agave juice mixed with some water. Mixto however, is made by fermenting and then distilling a mix of agave juice and other sugars, usually cane sugar with water. Mixtos made and bottled in Mexico can contain up to 40% alcohol derived from other sugars. Mixtos that have been shipped in bulk for bottling overseas may have the agave content further reduced to 51% by the foreign bottler. Mexican law states that all 100% agave or aged Tequila must be bottled in Mexico. 100 percent agave Tequilas are clearly labelled as such. Anything else is classified as a Mixto Tequila, however the term is seldom used on bottle labels.

Belvedere Vodka (700ml)

POLAND
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Belvedere Vodka from Polmos Zyrardow is crafted from 100% Polish rye, distilled four times and charcoal filtered. Easily recognised by its innovative packaging, the bottle depicts the Belvedere House, the Polish equivalent to the White House, the official residence of the Polish president in Warsaw. As of 2023, the brand made a move to organic certification as part of a commitment to sustainability. Sophie Clerc, vodka brand director at Moët Hennessy US, said: “When we have pledged to become an organic brand, our consumers fully supported our commitment. From the responses we are receiving, we see a tremendous interest and enthusiasm for this new iteration of Belvedere... We want consumers to understand that this isn’t a new Belvedere product, but rather an evolution of our iconic vodka. We’ve transitioned our recipe to feature 100% organic-certified diamond rye, crafted using the same proprietary process used for our non-organic predecessor that has been however upgraded in order to be organic-certified as well. It’s the same Polish vodka we all know and love, simply elevated.”
Reviews vacillate from average to very good. Desmond Begg in the 'The Vodka Companion' had this to say about it: 'Strong whiff of toffee on the nose. Sweet and cloying on the palate with strong caramelization. Some alcohol burn. Powerful finish in which toffee flavor predominates. This is an indifferently distilled vodka.'
Wine Enthusiast wrote: 'A one-note vodka nose featuring a bittersweet to semisweet grainy aroma. The palate entry is intensely kernel-like and beany and, therefore, bittersweet; at midpalate the flavor profile stays the bean/kernel course but adds a trace of tar or creosote. Finishes hot and raw' 80-84 points.
Meanwhile, tastings.com were impressed, writing: 'Clear. Faint marshmallow and stone nose. A round entry leads to a very smooth, oily medium-bodied palate with tasty confectioner's sugar and talc notes. Finishes very cleanly with a light peppery fade and a hint lemon peel and salt. Very stylish and perfect for martinis'. 40% Alc./Vol.

Metaxa Private Reserve Brandy (700ml)

Piraeus, GREECE
$189. 99
Bottle
$2279.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

They say that to be Mediterranean is to have a different attitude. Certainly this claim is reflected in Metaxa. When speaking of this unique spirit, we should not merely consider it a brandy, for while it is produced from grapes, its similarities to brandy end there. Metaxa was first created by a silk trader named Spyros Metaxas who in 1882 built a distillation's factory in the city Chyphisia in the Attica region near Athens. A blend of Savatiano, Sultanina and Black Corinth grapes are employed in its production. These are twice distilled to 60% Alc./Vol., then reduced with aged muscat wine from Samos & Lemnos. Further blending continues utilising a mix of botanicals including anise and rose-petals. Then finally, the spirit is married in limousine oak casks. Metaxa is generally available in three versions: Three Star, Five Star, and Seven Star. Each star represents one year spent in oak. The product has earned world recognition for its quality, colour and taste and is distinguished as the most famous Greek spirit worldwide, over and above ouzo.
Now in Australia, a selection of Super Premium Metaxa bottlings are available including the much sought after Private Reserve. This limited production spirit consists of fine distillates aged up to thirty years from Metaxa's family casks and is the high point of the Metaxa range. 40% Alc./Vol.

Chopin Potato Vodka (700ml)

POLAND
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Launched in 1992, this is one of Poland's super premium brands made exclusively from Stobrawa potatoes, mostly sourced from nearby the distillery to maximise freshness. The vodka is distilled four times following a six century old tradition. Founder and CEO, Tadeusz Dorda sums up the brand's philosophy: "We believe that the definition of vodka – “a flavorless, odorless, neutral spirit without distinctive character, aroma, taste or color” – is simply incorrect. We also reject the popular notion that all vodkas are the same. The flavor profile of our marquee product, Chopin Potato Vodka, is distinctively creamy with earthy notes and sets the standard in its category."
Master Distiller, Waldemar Durakiewicz, has worked with the Dorda family (who still own and run the company) since he graduated from university in 1978. Named after Poland's favourite son, the vodka is packaged in a frosted, cork-finished bottle which has since been copied by the likes of Belvedere Vodka and others.
Other reviews… Clear. Clean flinty aromas gives way to a supple, silky, light-to-medium bodied palate with confectioner's sugar, lemon zest and mineral flavors and a pointed peppery fade. A smooth and elegant vodka for martinis. 40%Alc./Vol.

The first sniffings unearth a soft, slightly sour and vegetal aroma; more time adds minor scents of ash and unsmoked cigarette. The bittersweet palate entry taste flashes on cocoa bean and sap; at midpalate toasty, sooty flavors of tobacco leaf, wood smoke, wood resin and vanilla are found. Ends up semisweet, succulent and roughly spirity. 85-89 points - wineenthusiast.com

“Potato vodkas have never been as well-received as their grain-based competitors, but Chopin—which appeared on the American market in 1997—should go a long way toward changing their lowbrow reputation. It's the smoothest vodka we tried, with a slight oiliness (specific to potato vodkas) that cut beautifully against the briny funk of black caviar and held its own against the thickest black bread I'd been able to find. We found Chopin itself to be 'slightly sweet' and 'well-rounded' with 'perhaps a hint of apple.' Chopin also had a 'medium-length, pleasing burn,' but 'very little aftertaste—it's remarkably clean.' To top it off, Chopin's tall frosted bottle was the prettiest we'd seen...the panel unanimously called Chopin 'far and away the best vodka we tried.” – Alex Abramovich, “Hit me With Your Best Shot”, Slate Magazine, 2004.

2018 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Blanc Au Champ Salomon

Burgundy, FRANCE
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.
Other Reviews....
Audoin's finest white this year is the 2018 Marsannay Au Champ Salomon Blanc, a striking wine that wafts from the glass with notes of citrus oil, fresh pastry, confit lemon and crisp orchard fruit. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and muscular, with a racy spine of acidity, chalky structuring extract and a saline finish.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Feb 2020)
Here the wood treatment is a bit more evident though by no means intrusive on the nicely floral and citrus-suffused nose that is also vaguely exotic. The succulent, round and generous flavors possess reasonably good vibrancy and solid mid-palate concentration though the citrusy and dry finish is not quite as complex. This too should be easily approachable young.

This grain based vodka uses the premium 'Dankowski' Rye and distills it four times. Produced at Poland's Starogard Gdanski distillery (established in 1846), it's named after a Polish King from the 17th century.
Other reviews... First I want to say hats off to these people for their “Truth in Vodka Campaign” finally someone is bucking the trend and introducing a high quality vodka at the price point where they all should be. ... An outstanding vodka for the money. Head and shoulders above the competition at its price point, and making the much more expensive vodkas look to be just that. Slightly oily plump grain body glide past the tongue nipping at it with the alcohol edge and nice lingering finish. Slight sweetness and the sour of a rye, with a nice mineral water body thrown in. Complex, with a nice bite to it. - spiritsreview.com

Valdespino Pedro Ximenez Yellow Label Sherry

$395.88 Dozen

ABV: 17%

Closure: Cork

With six centuries of sherry production under their belts, Valdespino lay claim to being one of the oldest sherry bodegas in the region.
Pedro Ximenez is often referred to as “Black Sherry” due to its dense, dark colour. This is a superb example of the style made entirely from the Pedro Ximenez grape and is a wonderful pairing for chocolate dishes of any sort (or that ‘special’ mid year Christmas celebration being the perfect wine with Christmas pudding). The wine has the viscosity of oil. Very dark sienna brown colour with olive green hue. Superb nose of mollasses, treacle, crushed dried honeyed raisins. Rich and luscious, totally mouthfilling with a silky, oily texture which disolves into honeyed toffee. Layers of treacle and caramel add further depth and complexity to the wine. Sweet, yet clean finish with exceptionally long aftertaste.

Tasting note: Made from Javanese sugarcane and yeast grown on red rice, this unusual rum is distilled twice in Chinese steel pot stills before being matured in teak casks for a “drier” finish. Sappy, caney, grassy aromas as well as white pepper, dried mango and icing sugar follow in an exotic, estery spirit with flavours of tinned peaches, white pepper and a finish that's unexpectedly spicy for a low ABV.

The Milk & Honey Distillery Elements Red Wine Cask Single Malt Israeli Whisky (700ml)

ISRAEL
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Ex-red wine barrels that were sourced from Israel's finest wineries were picked for this edition in M & H's 'Elements' trilogy. A ginger-like keynote gives definite warmth to the opening sniffs, leading into a dryish, malty nose with vanilla and fruit sweetness developing. It's more winey in the mouth, where a gentle astringency adds a grippy tactile dimension in tandem with the spices. A malty - red berry thread surfaces, giving a juicy dried berry-like character to the finish. There's hints of dried coconut too, followed by lingering wood spices. Non Chill Filtered. Kosher. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Whichever red wine they used, you get the distinct feeling it was pretty full bodied and dry.... A malt which handsomely repays time and perseverance as the Murray Method certainly unlocks far more complexity than at first seems apparent... complex and superbly well-weighted. 92.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021
Does it make any sense to use some Israeli wine casks to mature an Israeli malt whisky? You decide… (I have to say I’m glad they don’t make much wine in Scotland). Colour: deep gold. Nose: bready and ‘world’. Guinness, cakes, bachelor’s jam, cherry liqueur, some earthy pepper. Certainly better ‘focused’ than a Welsh whisky we tried the other day, on the other hand I’m not finding any watercress. Mouth: bites you a wee bit, with some pepper and leaves, while I’m not finding much fruitiness. Not quite a fan of this, while I’m quite a fan of M&H’s more ‘traditional’ expressions, especially their very good ‘Founder’s Edition’ from last year. Finish: a little bitter and dry. Comments: not totally for me, as expected, and perhaps a waste of excellent malt whisky if you ask me. BTW I’m sure the wine was good too, but both mixed together? I’m really not 100% sure, these combos being pretty tricky everywhere around the globe, in my opinion… 78 points - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the producers... Aroma: Red dried fruits, ginger, oak, and delicate coconut bouquet lead a gentle mineral perfume. Palate: Light bodied. Wine flavours coat the mouth, accompanied by subtle oak and vanilla notes, followed by gentle floral blossoms. Finish: Medium. The dried fruits and wine linger, finishing with a touch of dark raisins.

Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin (700ml)

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 43.8%

Four Pillars first new addition to the core range since 2015 was realised after a visit to Cobram Estate in Northern Victoria. During harvest, Cam McKenzie recognised that olive oil could work as a botanical. Experimentation led to olive tree leaves as well as around a litre of fresh Cobram Estate olive oil being added to the still.
The oil is not what you'd purchase from the supermarket shelves. It's sourced from two Spanish Olive varieties – 'Picual' & 'Hojiblanca'- and one Italian – 'Coratina'. 250gm of local bay leaf and rosemary are also included, plus there's more coriander and much more juniper than Rare Dry. Other botanicals include lemon myrtle, fresh local lemons, macadamia and grapefruit.
The gin is savoury, textural and bright.
Brand Ambassador, John Raphael adds, "The texture is quite remarkable, it’s a step away from traditional Four Pillars distillations that has always seen oranges and pepperberry in the mix... it's far more savoury and stands up to full Mediterranean tonics or the ideal Martini base." 43.8% Alc./Vol.

Patrón Reposado is aged in oak barrels for an average of six months and blended to incorporate the fresh clean taste of Patrón Silver with a hint of the oak flavour found in Patrón Añejo. The tequila pours a very pale straw colour - almost water like. Moderately aromatic nose releases aromas of char grilled pineapple, sweet tobacco, white pepper and a touch of beeswax.

Agavero Tequila Liqueur (750ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 32%

Closure: Cork

The Agavero company was founded in 1857 by Lazaro Gallardo. Shortly thereafter, in the heart of the Tequila growing region at the Los Camichines Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, Gallardo created "Agavero Tequila Liqueur" naming it after the "Blue Agave" plant from which Agavero is made. The production process behind this unique liqueur begins with the gentle baking of the Blue Agave to obtain the aguamiel (honey water), which is then put through natural fermentation and subjected to two slow distillations. This achieves a tequila characterized by its unique softness & natural sweetness. Two different styles of tequila are then produced: Firstly, an Anejo Tequila which is aged eighteen months in white oak casks (six months more than the minimum required by law.) And secondly, a Reposado Tequila which is aged six months to one year in white oak casks. The additional maturation allows for the full benefits of the slightly charred, white oak casks to be blended into the liquid. The Tequilas are then hand blended with Agavero's special ingredient, the essence of Damiana Flower - a flower indigenous to the mountains of Jalisco and a known aphrodisiac. The resulting liqueur can be enjoyed straight or on the rocks with a slice of lime or orange or in a variety of cocktails.
Other reviews... Amontillado Sherry-like harvest-gold hue. Surface aromas ring with agave herbal-vegetal perfume while base scents feature wood resin, carnations, key lime and asparagus.

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$174. 99
Bottle
$2099.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Note: New blue packaging, not old brown packaging.
While the twelve year old is a relatively non-descript malt, older Glenfiddich bottlings are now gaining high praise including one award as the world's best single malt Scotch whisky. However, as a representation of the house style, the 18 year old pretty much nails it. Always a centre-piece of the portfolio, the company has further emphasised its place by redesigning the packaging to give it a more superior look than its 12- and 15-year-old stablemates. Aged in a mixture of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks followed by a final spell of marrying in wooden tuns, the moderate aromas of distant smoke, honey, clove and vanilla-laced malt echo on the palate alongside hints of dried apricots and spice, augmented by the softest peat. Plush and silky with more dried fruit and spice to finish, it's is a clear step up from the 12yo - both richer and rounder while remaining in the mainstream of sherry influenced malts. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... the smoke which for long marked this aroma, appears to have vanished...one of the most complex deliveries Speyside can conjure....long, despite the miserly 40% offered, with plenty of banana custard and a touch of pear; at the moment, the ace in the Glenfiddich pack. If this was bottled at 46%, unchillfiltered etc, I dread to think what the score might be. 95 points- Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2016
Luxe and easy-sipping. Look for enticing notes of butterscotch, baked pear, cinnamon and clove on the nose and palate, swathed in just the right amount of smokiness. 96 points - wineenthusiast.com
...Dried fruits, dark chocolate, figs, and cinnamon on the nose. The palate yields rich caramel and toffee-apple notes, plus ginger, cloves, and medium sherry. More dried fruits, cookies, and a sprinkling of allspice in the slightly smoky, medium to long finish. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com

Jameson 18 Year Old Irish Whiskey (700ml)

$350. 00
Bottle
$4200.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

Other reviews... Unmistakably Jameson on the nose, this is a belter of a whiskey: honey, apple, toasted coconut, creamy vanilla, and sublime pot still spiciness. This offers sweet toffee and caramel, bursting with spices, just a hint of sherry, Brazil nut, vanilla, creamy oak, and a caressing mouthfeel. A triumph that exemplifies the glories of pot still blending, and its sherry influence makes for a rich ending. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Jonny McCormick (Summer 2018)
DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL - San Francisco World Spirit Awards 2019 & 2017.
In 1780, John Jameson established his distillery in Bow Street, Dublin. Determined that his whisky would be the finest in the world, he laid down rules for quality that have been maintained to this day. John Jameson was fastidious as a whisky maker and patriarchal as an employer. His dedication to quality went through every aspect of the business, from the barley strain, which he encouraged the farmers to grow, to the choice of sherry casks used for maturation. Jameson Irish Whisky's production process differentiates it from Scotch and American whisk(e)ys in two main ways: Firstly, a combination of malted and unmalted barley is dried by warm air. This ensures that smoke does not come into contact with the grain and that the natural taste of the barley shines through in the final whisky. This is unlike the Scotch production process in which peat smoke is blown through the malt flavouring it. Secondly, the Irish place great emphasis on slow, triple distillation in copper pot stills. This method of distillation gives the whisky its remarkable smoothness and round flavour. Other whiskys are distilled only once or twice. Meanwhile, the mellow, sweet taste of Jameson Irish Whisky is attributed to the length of time the spirit is allowed to mature in seasoned American and Sherry oak casks. Jameson 18 Year Old is the supreme expression of this production process - matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks for 18 years, then left to marry and settle in small American Bourbon barrels imparting additional maturity and complexity.
Notes from Jameson... The nose displays muted sherry notes, aromatic oils, a touch of wood, spice & toffee. The palate is wonderfully mellow, smooth and full of complex flavours - toffee, spice, hints of wood, a gentle sherry nuttiness, vanilla...a long lingering finish draws the theme of wood, toffee and spice to its conclusion.

Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Kilmarnock, SCOTLAND
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Black Label was first introduced in 1910 although its origins go back as far as 1820 when Walker blended his original 'Kilmarnock Whisky' and began selling it from his grocery shop. The location of the shop had a great deal to do with Black Labels success. Situated on a main trading route near an old poll gate, the shop attracted passing merchants and locals. It was through these travellers that the whiskys fame quickly spread.
This aged version of the classic Red Label enjoys a similar cult following. Its unique complexity is achieved by expertly blending an extremely diverse, but complementary range of malt whiskies, each of which has been matured for a minimum of 12 years and some for much longer. In total, up to 40 malts and grain whiskies make up the Johnnie Walker Black Label blend. Island and Islay malts deliver spice, richness and lingering peat. Speyside malts make an important contribution to the depth of taste, bringing smoky malt, fruitiness, apple freshness and a rich sherry character to the blend. At the heart of Black Label lies 12 year old Cardhu, an outstanding malt from Speyside, which imparts silkiness, a characteristic which has made it famous as a single malt.
To date, Black Label has won more international awards for excellence than any other deluxe whisky. In the 1880s, Old Highland won medals in Sydney and Paris. Over 100 years later, in 1994, Black Label picked up gold medals at the 1994 Monde Selection Awards and the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), where it also won a trophy for Best Blended Whisky. In 1996, it won gold again at IWSC for the best deluxe Scotch Whisky.
Black Label has many admirers, but perhaps none so famous or devoted as Sir Winston Churchill, whose still life painting 'Bottlescape' (1932) proudly captures the familiar contours of his whisky of choice. Indeed, the company's old timers recall the Herculean efforts required to keep the British PM supplied with his favourite tipple during wartime rationing!
Other reviews… Nose: Rich. Maple syrup, spices and mustard. Can a whisky have a hint of acidity on the nose? Yes, but rahter the acidity of a Lenny Bruce rather than of vinegar. Palate: Marijuana. Big interplay of smoky dryness, spicy heat and sweetly malty, creamy vanilla. Finish: Rounded with raisiny sherry. At length, mellow. Comment: Is Black Label a great whisky? Was Dizzy Gillespie a great musician? Rating: 90 -Michael Jackson, www.whiskymag.com

"Some rather contrasting, complex flavours that strangely hang together rather well." - whiskymag.com
Casual quaffing wines have their equivalent in the whisky world. In America, they call them 'table whiskeys'. In Scotland, they turn out drams like this and bottle them up in litre formats, usually for Duty Free markets. Released in September 2016, Tomatin's 8 is the youngest in a collection of Travel Retail exclusives that includes the flagship 12 year, a 15 year and a rare 40. The combination of Bourbon & Sherry maturation promises a slightly sweet and fruity whisky suggesting apples, pears, ginger and cinnamon. At a very accessible 40%, think of it as a value everyday drinker to share with unexpected guests, or a base for blending your own 'house style'.

Nose: Quite an earthy nose for this dram. Think damp earth after the rain with some woody notes thrown in for good measure too.

Angostura Bitters (200ml)

Trinidad & Tobago, Caribbean,
$29. 99
Bottle
$359.88 Dozen

ABV: 44.7%

Created in 1824 by J.Siegert , a German surgeon posted at the Military Hospital in the town of Angostura, Venezuela. Its genesis lay in the requirement for an elixir to combat the repetitive stomach disorders that soldiers were suffering from. After four years of trial and error, researching and analysing the qualities of tropical herbs and plants, Siegert finally arrived at a unique blend of materials which he called 'Amargo Aromatico' or aromatic bitters. Its first public release in Venezuela in 1830 was an instant commercial success. By 1850, he had resigned his commission in the Venezuelan army, to concentrate on the manufacture of his bitters, since by then demand had leapt ahead of supply.

Rum based, this skilfully blended aromatic preparation of gentian in combination with a variety of vegetable colouring matter, must be on every bar shelf. It has a particularly pungent aroma with a concentrated flavour and high alcohol content (44.7%). That means you require only a dash or two at a time. Angostura is never drunk on its own, but is indispensable in the creation of many classic cocktails and is applauded with gin, the monotony of which has been forever altered thanks to Angostura.

Elijah Craig are another of Heaven Hill's successful brands. When a surge in popularity for the 12 year led to an inability to meet demand, it was removed from US shelves in 2016 (no surprise, age statements are now sought after). The core whiskey has since been re-labelled “Small Batch". Typically made from a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, rumour has it this contains a fair proportion of whiskeys in the 8-12 year old range.
Other reviews... A solid, basic bourbon, with pure sweetness, honey, marzipan, and wildflower notes.

Finishes with a lingering wave of sweet vanilla and wood spice. Very even and straightforward. Try with a touch of water. 89 points - tastings.com

Tasty stuff. Rating: 8.5 - whiskymag.com
Classic Cocktail: The Mint Julep
Most likely originated in 1803, when John Davis, a traveler from Britain and a Virginia plantation tutor, defined a julep as 'a dram of spiritous liquor that has mint in it, taken by Virginians of a morning'. From there, it evolved into a putting mint and sugar into a tumbler, and then adding equal parts of peach and regular brandy. To this was added plenty of crushed ice. Traditionally, mint juleps were often served in silver or pewter cups, and held only by the bottom and top edges of the cup. This allows frost to form on the outside of the cup, which some would find a sign of gentility. Others merely find it pleasant to look at. It is well-known as the traditional beverage of the Kentucky Derby, a position it has held since 1938; during the event, more than 80,000 juleps are served at Churchill Downs.
Bob Dylan described in his Theme Time Radio Hour episode #3 how to make, by his preferences, a perfect mint julep: 'First up, you take four mint sprigs, two and a half ounces of bourbon. I'd put three. A table spoon of powder sugar, and a table spoon of water. You put the mint leaves, powder sugar and water in a Collins glass. You fill the glass with shaved, or crushed ice, and then add bourbon. Top that off with more ice. And...I'd like to garnish that with a mint sprig. Serve it wih a straw. Two or three of those, and anything sounds good.'

$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

"The very latest bottlings have been astonishing...a glass of something honeyed and dazzling calls!" 95.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024
Perhaps more than standing stones, Neolithic settlements, a Viking Cathedral and Norse sagas, Orkney is famous for two distillieries: Scapa and Highland Park. The latter at 18 years of age has earned a place in the Scotch Whisky pantheon as one of the 'classics'. In short, a whisky every one should experience. Or, in the words of spirits writer, F.Paul Pacault, "It fits my profile of what makes a perfect whisky. Which is to say it’s totally in harmony. There are no rough edges and everything is melded together brilliantly". Slow-burning, aromatic peat from Hobbister Moor and Sherry seasoned European oak casks result in a style that was once evocatively described as "...An empty honey jar which once held peaty embers." We received a sample in late 2017. The whisky offers a sophisticated sniff evoking nuances of dried fruits (fig, dates), honey, gristy malt and delicate brush strokes of sweet smoke is followed by hints of waxy apple, orange spice cake, choc ripple cookie and cinnamon. After 5-10 minutes the nose drops off leaving dark chocolate and trace sulphur. Honeyed barley and sherry notes beautifully harmonise with earthy peat; the sweetness balanced by orange zest and a touch of salt...rebounds in the aftertaste. Almost full circle round the flavour wheel, and for that reason, one of the most quintessential of all Scotch single malts. Some tasters found the Sherry input slightly less than years gone by, but otherwise, about as good as it's been since the inaugural 1997. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Gentle peat, soft toffee, floral notes, and honey on the beautifully fragrant nose. Superbly balanced on the velvety palate, with brittle toffee, stewed fruits, peat, honey, and a hint of coffee. Smoke and more toffee mingle in the long, elegant finish. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Spring 2012)
… Nose: An empty honey jar which once held peaty embers. An enormous nose which seems to improve with each bottle I sample, though the characterstic salted butter is always present. Fabulous. Palate: Beautifully sweet: even sweeter than the 12 year old with peat on the back of the palate. Beautifully chewy, oily and substantial. Finish: Still peaty and now a little oaky. Cocoa and toffee cream compexity. Comment: This has to be my favourite Highland Park of them all, and each new bottle I taste (this was my sixth sample) seems to underline the overall class and consistency of this distillery. Brilliant.. 95.5 points - Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
...Copper. Rich roasted walnuts, caramel and spice on the nose. A soft, satiny entry leads to a dryish full-bodied palate of dried fruits, burnt caramel, peat, and heather. Finishes with a long fade of peat and honey with choice wood spice notes in support. Fantastically balanced. 95 points (Exceptional) - tastings.com
...An old favourite, haven’t try the 18 since a good six years though. Loved it in 2011 (WF 88). Colour: pale gold. Nose: so typically HP! There’s that heather honey that wasn’t quite to be found in the 15 and Valkyrie, more roundness, more dried fruits (figs, dates, pears, raisins) and earth rather than smoke. Orange blossom, dandelions, honeysuckle, and some nice whiffs of humus and garden peat. In short his baby’s more refined, and perhaps more civilised. Not quite Viking stuff this time, if you like. Mouth: indeed, a different world. Superb dried fruits mingled with some herbal syrup (Chartreuse, genepy, eucalyptus) and the expected honey, with a feeling of charred wood in the background. Rather a gentleman’s HP, if you will. Finish: medium, a tad rougher and grassier, but still quite wonderful. Ah our good old HP 18!… Comments: a little less fan of the finish, but Highland Park 18 years old remains a classy classic. 2016 tasting. 88 points - whiskyfun.com

Absolut Vodka (700ml)

Ahus, SWEDEN
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

Everybody knows that the Russian and Polish national spirit, made from rye malt and often potato starch, is vodka. However, one of the most popular premium vodkas on todays market actually comes from Sweden, first appearing in 1979. Distilled from grain grown in the fields of Southern Sweden, Absolut was conceived as a pure product with its own peculiar Swedish identity. The distinctive bottle design was inspired by an antique medicine bottle, while the minimalist logo and absolutely clear glass emphasise the simplicity and purity of the product. The brands advertising has become as iconic as Coca-Cola's. Forty percent of imported vodka bought by Americans is Absolut of some variety. Still, the recent explosion of premium vodkas has resulted in something of a fragmented market and weakened Absolut's stranglehold. The conclusion most seem to be drawing is that Absolut is fine for mixing, but if you're drinking shots, there are many other superior choices.
To produce Absolut, an alcoholic base is made from locally grown grain, then continuously distilled to produce a high strength spirit. The spirit is then filtered and finally diluted with pure water before bottling.
Tasting note: [40% alc./vol. batch tasted] 'Very neutral on the nose with just a touch of cereal aroma and a hint of alcohol. Very good mouth feel, dryish in style but with some very light hints of caramelization. Just touches of needle from the alcohol. Sweetish but rather short on the finish. I maintain that this makes one of the finest vodka tonics in the world, perhaps because the mouth feel of the vodka lends a bit more weight to the mixture that other, lighter vodkas. Alternatively, put it in the freezer to drink ice-chilled when it becomes thick in texture, smooth, and very dry. - Desmond Begg, The Vodka Companion.
Other reviews… Aroma is vaguely grainy, fresh and pleasing in the initial sniffs; further aeration brings out a mildly oily scent. Palate entry is simple, fundamentally sound and intensely dry and grainy; by midpalate, a shy, kernel-like, bittersweet taste enters the picture, then fades quickly. Ends meek and ethereal.

Classic Cocktail: The Bloody Mary

This is one of the few cocktails traditionally served in the morning, along with the Screwdriver. The name Bloody Mary is used to refer to the blood-like colour of the cocktail, but may have also been derived from “Bloody” Mary Tudor, Queen of England. The order of preparation can be crucial, and many bartenders guard secret recipes for the drink.
Fernand Petiot claims to have created the Bloody Mary as we know it today and describes in The New Yorker, 18 July 1964, the manner in which he made it: “George Jessel said he created it”, says Fernand, “but it was really nothing but vodka and tomato juice when I took it over. I cover the bottom of the shaker with four large dashes of salt, two dashes of black pepper, two dashes of cayenne pepper, and a layer of Worcestershire sauce; I then add a dash of lemon juice and some cracked ice, put in two ounces of vodka and two ounces of thick tomato juice, shake, strain, and pour. We serve a hundred to a hundred and fifty Bloody Marys a day here in the King Cole Room and in the other restaurants and the banquet rooms.”
Absolut Vodka have launched a flavoured vodka, “Absolut Peppar”, which works well as a base for this drink.
60ml Vodka
a few dashes of worcestershire sauce
a few dashes of tabasco (to taste)
salt
lemon
tomato juice
Method: Stir or shake the vodka with the sauces and the spices. Fill up with tomato juice in a highball glass with ice. Garnish with a celery stick, if you like it and want to add some vitamins. If you don't have any fresh celery at home add celery salt. - notes partially sourced from www.drinkboy.com

Another special limited edition from Del Maguey's 'Vino De Mezcal' series is this Madrecuixe Mezcal, made in lush, remote San Luis del Rio where the Red Ant river flows. Madrecuixe is a wild and tall cylindrical maguey like Tobasiche with leaves that grow from the ground up as opposed to Tobasiche that sheds its lower leaves as it grows leaving a bare cylindrical piña. Paciano Cruz Nolasco and Marcos Cruz Mendez harvest mature Madrecuixes at around 10-15 years of age. The pinas are earth-roasted for 3-8 days, fermented with airborne microbes then twice distilled before brief ageing in vessels made from Mezquite, Quebrachi and / or Huamuchil wood.
Notes from Del Maguey... Banana leaf, green papaya, just-mown alfalfa, tarragon and fresh cut bamboo, give way to circus peanuts and sweet, fresh-forward tropical fruits of mango, pineapple and chicozapote. This extremely rare wild mezcal is silky, elegant, medium-bodied, with a long, dry, clean, dusty finish. 47% Alc./vol.

$3900.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Caol Ila (Gaelic for 'the Sound of Islay') was built in 1846 by Hector Henderson - a Glasgow businessman with a keen interest in distilling. Like Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich, the development of Caol Ila created along with it, a community of its own. Without these distilleries, it is likely that there would have been little sustained human interference in these areas at all. In 1857 Henderson went out of business and the distillery was purchased by Bulloch Lade & Co. The Distillers Company Limited took over management in 1927. From this date production continued until 1972, when the entire structure of the distillery was demolished. A larger distillery was built in the same original architectural style, and production resumed in 1974.

Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

It's been over a decade since we've revisited the Balvenie range. From the 12 Year Old, right up to the venerable 30 year old expression, the house style emerges as one of the lightest and most delicate to be found from Speyside with almost no peat evident. 'Doublewood' gains its character from maturation in two woods, transferred from traditional x-Bourbon American oak to a Sherry oak casks for its final maturation. It's sometimes described as the classic, "essential" expression in Balvenie’s core range. From a 30ml sample, the nose is lifted with vanilla, dilute honey and dried fruits. The entry is featherweight, unfolding into a medium-weight dram with moderate flavours of dried fruit and a warm mouthfeel. An aftertaste of dried grass and drying oak sustains a little prickle. All up, this is uncomplicated and typical of the distillery style, but even at 12 years old, Doublewood still tastes surprisingly young. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The whisky has not much changed in recent years. As noted in 2022, the whisky leans heavily on the bourbon barrel, offering a nose with lots of sweet almond and banana notes, backed up by fresh cereal and granary characteristics. That said, it’s less overtly woody than I recall, coming across instead as rather grassy and hay-like. Citrusy sherry notes are present, but as more of an afterimage. On the palate, again the whisky favors the bourbon influence, with ample vanilla dominating flavors of sweet breakfast cereal, namely Frosted Flakes. It’s extremely mild and approachable, though things can get a little leathery on the back end before the orange-driven sherry character finally appears. It’s mild and gently spicy, and nothing if not harmless. While not the most memorable whisky on the market, I expect you’ll finish your dram just fine. - drinkhacker.com

Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Isle of Skye, SCOTLAND
$114. 99
Bottle
$1379.88 Dozen

ABV: 45.8%

'The lava of the Cuillins' - that's how Talisker, the Golden Spirit of Skye was described by one poetic taster: the only single malt from a spectacularly beautiful island of wild moorlands and dramatic mountain peaks known as the Cuillins. Built in Carbost in 1831 near 'Talisker House', the distillery has entertained such personalities as Boswell & Johnson. Another celebrity who enjoyed his Talisker was author, Robert Louis Stevenson, describing it in 1880 as 'king 'o' drinks'. Stevenson rightly recognised it as bearing similarities to both the Glenlivet and Islay malts. However, by taking 'the best of both worlds' so to speak, it achieved a unique style. In 1892 Roderick Kemp, a part owner sold his share to establish the now-immortal Macallan. Talisker has continued strong since under the ownership of Diageo. An individual malt that remains an island classic, Talisker invariably offers a great sniff. At ten years old, the aromas are pungent-yet-fresh with Islay-like seaweedy smokiness and sweet fruity malt. There's a bold maritime influence on the palate too, perfectly complemented by a spicy, very peppery lingering finish. A little honey threads its way through the beautifully balanced spirit. Not harsh but warming. Always satisfying to re-discover this West Highland gem. 45.8% Alc./Vol.
A quite stupendous malt to be enjoyed at any time. But especially at night. - 93 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2019
...Another that should need no introduction. The thing to look for in Talisker, as with all smoky whiskies, is sweetness that gives the requisite balance to the drying effect of smoke. Underneath Talisker’s smoke, which ain't as all-pervading as Lagavulin, is a sweet pear-like quality. When young there are notes of the land: heather, moor, sweet seaweed, and a finish that has a distinctive cracked black pepper hit. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Dave Broom (Summer 2012)
… Nose: A razor-sharp spiciness lances through Demerara sweetness and rich peat. Absolutely magnificent. Palate: The enormous build up of spice adds to the multi-layered peat. The sweetness is almost like freshly crushed grist. Wave upon wave, layer upon layer of complexity. Finish: Massively warming and still spicy. The peat lingers while the spice bristles. Comment: A dram to be savoured and celebrated. Rating: 95 - www.whiskymag.com

Plymouth Gin (700ml)

Plymouth, UNITED KINGDOM
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 41.2%

Since 1793, Plymouth Gin has been handcrafted at England’s oldest working Gin distillery, Black Friars in Plymouth. The distillery was formerly a Dominican Monastery and the final lodgings of the Pilgrim Fathers before they set sail to the New World in 1620. The 'Mayflower' sailing ship, as well as the monk continue to be represented on the label to this day. The first documented modern Martini recipe actually specified Plymouth Gin. It appeared in 1896 in Stuart's Fancy Drinks & How to Mix them. Plymouth has since gained a popular following, becoming a favourite of such 20th century figures as Franklin D.Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Alfred Hitchcock and Ian Fleming. Plymouth Gin owes its distinctive taste to a blend of ingredients that avoid the use of too much juniper or bitter botanicals, thus giving it a remarkably smooth, integrated palate. Water from the nearby hills of Dartmoor is sourced for its crystal clear purity. The result is a lighter bodied style with fabulous intensity and well balanced botanical flavours.
Tasting note: Clear as rainwater appearance. Offers delightful, lifted scents of fresh citrus peel and juniper over hints of black peppercorn and coriander. A water like entry builds into a juniper/citrus mid palate with lively peppers adding depth and length. Slightly oily mouthfeel. Ends with authentic coriander and citrus peel like freshness with the peppers persisting. Beautifully balanced gin with the depth and presence required for great martinis. 42.1% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The full bodied, spicy aroma offers delicate notes of juniper berry oil, citrus, orris, coriander and caraway seed. Palate entry is mildly peppery, floral and fruity; at midpalate the flavor profile focuses more on oils and juniper. A unique and great gin. 96-100 points 41.2% Alc./Vol.

'What makes Plymouth Gin good is its complexity, its richness of flavour and richness of presence in the mouth - it's just a great drink' - Dave Broom, U.K. Drinks Journalist.
'It's that smell. It is fabulous. It's got a really lovely junipery quality. But you can also actually feel the other rooty, earthy sort of flavourings in there. And when you come to taste it, it's soft, it's quite a strong spirit,...but it's round and it doesn't attack you at all. It's a very nice gin indeed. Good with tonic I'd say.'

Glenlivet 18 Year Old Batch Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$230. 00
Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

"...a long time since I encountered a Glenlivet this complex and complete at any age: memorable." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26
Eighteen years in first and second-fill American oak with a portion of ex-sherry casks has delivered a quintessential Glenlivet that's neither too heavy nor too light. Comparing it to one of Scotland's greatest actors, whiskyadvocate.com described an earlier bottling as "mature, rich and sexy." Glenlivet 18's new presentation is sleeker, more contemporary, and comes sub-titled 'Batch Reserve'. Exactly what that means and why it's now bottled at 40% isn't clear, however the slight drop in ABV from its previous incarnation has not impeded the quality. Recent tastings agree, this is pretty special stuff, with Jim Murray in particular reaching for superlatives. A regal Speysider from whisky's heartland that deserves a place in your cabinet. Stock up while the price is right!
Other reviews... Sumptuous, with the malt really planting the flag, despite the close but lush intentions of the (heather) honeyed spices... A stunning assembly of the most delicately nuanced flavours which expand exponentially as it warms. It has been a long time since I encountered a Glenlivet this complex and complete at any age: memorable. 95 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26
Gold - 96 points - International Spirits Challenge 2026
Dark gold with copper highlights. Powerful aromas have a rich malt character with plenty of spice and light peaty notes. Follows through with a surprisingly silky palate where sweet caramel flavors emerge giving way to spicy oak and lingering peat on the finish. 92 points (Exceptional) - tastings.com

Champagne, FRANCE
Reduced from $84.99
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

The Veuve Fourny Champagnes offer great value. The Fourny family have been growing vines in the Premier Cru of Vertus since 1856 with the fifth generation currently at the helm. The Blancs de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay sourced from vines over 40 years old and is aged for a minimum of 2.5 years on lees with 20% reserve wines included in the blend. Pours with a frothy white mousse that holds well over a pale straw coloured base with pale gold tinged edges. A nibble stream of tiny bubbles flowing through it. Pronounced aromatics of baked bread, pear and yeast lees aromas fills the nostrils with oily toast like notes and honeyed almond scents ensuing. Rich and full in the mouth expressive baked bread, yeast lees and oily toast flavours have a creamy textural feel with some pear and citrus characters also in the mix. Dry crisp finish with a long richly flavoured aftertaste.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews.....
A personal favourite of mine. Its foundation is three consecutive vintages, with 20% of reserve wines. Extensive use of French oak during maturation. Dosage only 5g/l when disgorged in March 2023. The bouquet is flowery, the palate gently filled with honey and brioche.

"...a nimble touch and a disarming allure. Just close your eyes and enjoy." 97 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2023
Perched on a rocky headland, the Ardbeg distillery was founded in 1815 by the MacDougalls of Ardbeg. The distillery's scattered white-washed buildings are reminiscent of a Dutch settlement and add to the dramatic coastal landscape. Ardbeg has had a chequered history and in recent times had been closed down for many years. Glenmorangie acquired Ardbeg in 1997 and has set about restoring the distillery to its former glory. Despite the turbulence of its past, none of Ardbeg’s qualities have been diminished. All of the time-worn traditions have been carefully preserved and passed on to today’s whisky makers. The Ardbeg 10 Year Old is clear testimony to this. In his 'Complete Book of Whisky' Jim Murray said of it: 'If perfection on the palate exists, this is it.'
Other reviews...n24 more complex, citrus-led and sophisticated than recent bottlings, though the peat is no less but now simply displayed in an even greater elegance; a beautiful sea salt strain to this; t24 gentle oils carry on them a lemon-lime edge, sweetened by barley and a weak solution of golden syrup; the peat is omnipotent, turning up in every crevice and wave, yet never once over-stepping its boundary; f24 stuuningly clean, the oak offers not a bitter trace but rather a vanilla and butterscotch edge to the barley. Again the smoke wafts around in a manner unique in the world of whisky when it comes to sheer elan and adroitness; b25 like when you usually come accross something that goes down so beautifully and with such a nimble touch and disallarming allure, just close your eyes and enjoy... 97 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2013 / 2023
...Last time we tried our beloved Ten it was a circa 2015 bottling, and it was great (WF 89). Colour: white wine. Nose: I have the feeling that Ardbeg Ten got more crystalline, perhaps a tad simpler as well, and probably more distillate-driven than ever before. I’m so glad no obvious vanilla is dumbing it down, and of course no ‘wine’, so this is as bright as possible and full of lime, seawater, smoked salmon, and of these wee tarry/cardboardy touch that are so typically Ardbeg. Shall we call this nose ‘razory’? Mouth: lapsang souchong with lime, smoked almonds, kippers, plasticine, almond oil, whelks, brine, hessian… This is just perfectly perfect. Finish: rather long, smoky, almondy, lime-y, salty. Comments: the month is not over but Ardbeg 10 will possibly be March’s bang-for-your-buck bottling. Because in my little tasting book, Ardbeg 10 is simply back to… 90 points - whiskyfun.com
...the classic Ardbeg bottling, and one of the most heavily peated entry-level whiskies from all of Scotland. Ten years are just about right for taming Ardbeg’s fire, though the nose is still moderately heavy with straight, smoky peat notes, though also lightly briny but distinctly maritime in its tone. The body follows in lockstep, adding to the burning embers of driftwood notes of iodine, orange peel, coriander, and ginger. Beautifully balanced despite the heavy peat influence, it remains one of the most essential Islay whiskies — and an essential whisky that is required drinking for anyone who wants to form a base understanding of single malts. - drinkhacker.com
...Nose: Astoundingly smoky, yet delicate with subtle tarry notes behind. With water the smoke dies a little and raisin and caramelised apple notes emerge. Palate: An immediate waft of peat smoke. Full, robustly flavoured with turf and lapsang souchong tea. Finish: Salty, long and filled with fragrant peat reek. Comment: A punch in the chops from a stroppy Islay middleweight. Flavour-packed yet delicate. Rated: 9/10 - whiskymag.com
Cocktail: The Smoky Martini
This is an unusual combination that works surprisingly well. Some people use less peaty whiskies, however the true Smoky Martini requires the likes of Ardbeg or Laphroaig – Single Malts which lend their peaty, textured flavour to the creamy character of a good vodka.
Method: Rinse a chilled martini glass with Ardbeg Malt Whisky and pour out any extra. Shake 60ml of Premium Vodka in a shaker filled with large ice cubes and strain into a Martini glass. Garnish with a lemon and orange twist.
