    Jade 1901 Absinthe (700ml)
    Saumur, Loire Valley, FRANCE
    $199. 99
    Bottle
    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 68%

    Those already in the know will be familiar with Ted Breaux, a biochemist and researcher who grew up in New Orleans. Ted rose to fame when he cracked the “Absinthe code” in the late 1990s, employing gas chromatography to reverse engineer the spirit from sealed bottles of the 1901 original produced at the Pontarlier Pernod Fils factory several months before the facility burnt down. Ted subsequently set up a business, ‘Jade Liqueurs’, with the aim of recreating several ‘rediscovered’ Absinthes.

    Jade 1901 Absinthe Supérieure represents the second release from Ted that was carefully reverse-engineered from sealed antique bottles. It should be noted that when a large cache of the pre-ban original was discovered in recent times, a few bottles were found to be in a remarkable state of preservation, retaining much of their original colour and freshness. Those who have been fortunate enough to taste these were unanimous in their remarks as to the striking similarities between the vintage bottles and the Jade 1901 Absinthe Supérieure pre-ban clone. Breaux employs a special copper pot still at the Combier Distillery and infuses the resulting eaux de vie with whole botanicals. The spirit is then rested for an average of three years before bottling.

    Jade 1901 pours gold with a pretty bright jade-green blush. The opening bouquet has a dry, bitter feel including hints of tarragon, curry leaf, liquorice root and black jelly bean...with air contact, shades of chamomile and peppermint tea, lemon peel, anise and lanolin. Outstanding aromatic complexity. A bittersweet , spicy entry leads into a concentrated anise burst. Black jellybean fade. Very clean, linear, and elegant with excellent length. 1901 is possibly the most restrained in the collection, but by a small margin. 68% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Burnished gold in the glass, louching to opalescent light gold, and scented with bold notes of anise and licorice. The flavor is mild at first, but shows more anise on the long, rounded finish. 93 points - wineenthusiast.com

    ...a classic absinthe, balanced and crisp, with an appetizing herbal aroma and a smooth, lingering aftertaste.” Very mild. With sugar and water, it’s almost like a pastis, pleasant, refreshing, and easygoing. After awhile, I found the finish turning a touch bitter, like a dried herbal character. Lovely louche. - drinkhacker.com

    ...Jade 1901 is the second absinthe created by American absinthe expert, Ted Breaux and Combier to replicate a sample of 19th century. Combier uses two 1,100 litre copper alembics dating from 1870 and purchased from an absinthe distiller in Pontarlier in the early 1900s. Appearance: Clear, pale golden with green tinge. With water louches milky very pale dirty green. Aroma: Delicate green earthy herbal notes with angelica, sage, tarragon and faint citrussy lime blossom. Anise aromas are well integrated with cassia warming spice. Taste: Slight woodiness to a punchy anise tong numbing palate with nutmeg spice. Aftertaste:Long, wormwood and woody green anise finish. 4.5 stars. Recommended. - diffordsguide.com

    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews....
    Aged for 14 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak and blended of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Saint-Pierre leaps from the glass with exuberant Black Forest cake, blackberry compote and cassis with hints of cigars, earth and violets with a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins with fantastic energy and depth, finishing on a lingering chocolaty note. Drink 2021-2046.

    Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2016 Saint-Pierre has an intriguing bouquet of baked black cherries, dark chocolate, espresso and gamy notes, the oak regime more prominent compared to its peers within this Saint-Julien flight. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and the oak is more assimilated here than on the nose. Nicely detailed and very poised, although there is a touch of dryness right on the finish. I suspect there will be improvement with bottle age. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting. Drink 2024-2048.

    Neal Martin - Vinous (Jan 2020)

    This is fantastic, offering lots of fresh tobacco and blackcurrants and undertones of hazelnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied with firm and chewy tannins, yet ever so polished and refined. One of the most structured St. Pierre’s in years. A blend of 73 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 21 per cent merlot and six per cent cabernet franc. Try from 2024.

    James Suckling (Jan 2019)

    Coming from 50-year-old vines and a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien) is in the same ballpark as the 2015 yet shows a slightly more elegant, classic feel, which is very much in the style of the vintage. Beautiful notes of crème de cassis, black raspberries, crushed rocks, tobacco, and lead pencil shavings as well as some smoky notes with time in the glass all flow to a deep, full-bodied, concentrated Saint-Julien that has fine tannin, flawless balance and integration, no hard edges, and a great finish. This brilliant wine from winemaker Jean-Louis Triaud will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 25-30 years. Drink 2023-2053.

    G.E. Massenez Creme de Myrtille (Blueberry) Liqueur (500ml)
    Alsace, FRANCE
    $44. 99
    Bottle
    $539.88 Dozen
    ABV: 20%

    Massenez Myrtille is produced from bilberries, AKA The European Blueberry. A bilberry is any of several species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae), bearing edible berries. The fruit is smaller than that of the blueberry but with a fuller taste. Bilberries are darker in colour, and usually appear near black with a slight shade of purple. While the blueberry's fruit pulp is light green, the bilberry's is red or purple, heavily staining the fingers and lips of consumers eating the raw fruit. The red juice is used by European dentists to show children how to brush their teeth correctly, as any improperly brushed areas will be heavily stained. Bilberries are extremely difficult to grow and are thus seldom cultivated.

    Uncompromising on quality, G.E. Massenez is today universally acclaimed for his 'eaux de vie' (fruit brandies) as well as his crème liqueurs. The company has won many awards at international exhibitions. 20% alc/vol

    2016 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz

    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Other Reviews….
    This is a much anticipated vintage for St. Henri, and it does not disappoint. The complexity of fruit here is stunning, together with a very complex and playfully fragrant, spicy edge with graphite, roasted coffee and woody spices, framing a core of very fresh blackberries, red and dark cherries and blueberries. So fresh and brimming with fruit aromas. The palate has a stunning array of deeply fleshy fruit flavors with a superb sense of length and powerful, ripe tannin, underpinning vibrant, fleshy fruit that is beautifully assembled in a refined, elegant and impressively pure mode. So long and pure. Silky and elegant. A real masterpiece, taking its place among the finest vintages like 2010, 1990 and 1971. 95% shiraz and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Drink over the next three decades.

    JamesSuckling.com


    The 2016 St Henri Shiraz is one of the finest St Henris I've ever tasted, rivaling the likes of the 1986 or 1976. It's concentrated and rich, the essence of South Australia Shiraz (although it's been lightened by the addition of 5% Cabernet Sauvignon), unleavened by any new oak. Dark and tarry, it delivers notes of espresso and black olive, plummy fruit and roasted meat. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, it ends long, dark and savory. Drink 2020-2040.

    Joe Czerwinski – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate


    The St. Henri cuvée is always brought up all in neutral oak casks, and the 2016 is a blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, with just 690 cases produced. This was a great vintage for South Australia, and this blockbuster sports a deep purple color as well as a dense, powerful, meaty bouquet of smoked black fruits, chocolate, bouquet garni, bay leaf, mint, and plenty of earthy minerality. Reminding me of an Hermitage from the likes of Delas Frères, it’s full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, with a stacked mid-palate and loads of ripe tannins. Backward and mostly potential at this point, it’s nevertheless a thrilling Shiraz readers should give 4-5 years of bottle age and it will knock your socks off over the coming two decades. Drink 2025-2045.

    Noah's Mill Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $169. 99
    Bottle
    $2039.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.15%
    Note: ABV may vary from batch to batch.

    Tasting note: [BATCH QBC 16-25 tasted] Bright brassy copper. Dessert style opening sniffs include tea biscuits, vanilla fudge, mocha and hints of sticky date. Air contact dries and lightens the bouquet introducing liquorice root, and fresher, woody/peppery notes. Linear on entry. Mid palate is mildly bittersweet, bolder, oily, resinous, plummy, warming but keenly balanced at high ABV. Finishes with a brisk flurry of sweet baking spices and late cedary oak. 57.15% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... "The oldest of the four in years, and also the highest in alcohol. It has managed to maintain its balance of flavors and keep the oak notes from becoming too dominant. Bolder and more masculine than Rowan’s Creek, but not as teasing or seductive. Still, it’s a great effort. 89 points - www.maltadvocate.com, Vol. 14, #2

    “Stunning small grain, the rye in particular starring...This is one of Kentucky’s most complex whiskies by far. Small grains, big heart.” 91 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible

    ABV: 25%

    The pear tree was first grown in ancient Europe. Pliny recorded thirty eight different species. Today, that figure is estimated at more than five thousand. Poire William [pronounced pwahr WEEL-yahm] is a sweet pear liqueur named after the variety of pear the French call “Williams Bon-Chretien”, and which secular society calls Bartlett. A Poire William can be either a true pear brandy, distilled from pears, or a hybrid, made by infusing crushed pear with a grape-based spirit. Some bottles of Poire William contain a whole pear, a feat accomplished by placing a bottle over the budding fruit and allowing it to grow inside. 25% Alc./Vol.

    Tesseron Lot 90 XO Ovation Cognac (700ml)
    Cognac, FRANCE
    $195. 00
    Bottle
    $2340.00 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    With an average age of just over ten years old, Lot 90 is the youngest of Tesseron’s XO cognacs. Predominantly distilled in the 1990s using 100% Ugni Blanc from Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois, the opening passes offer heavy scents of ripe apricots, figs and candied fruits, also hinting at nectarine, banana, vanilla, white pepper and light rancio. Silky, medium-weight and graceful in the mouth, leaning towards passionfruit and fresh figs, the finish is finely tannic, oaky, poised and borderline succulent with a nice rebound. The 'biggest' of the Tesseron line up, without departing too far from the house style. Tasted from a 50ml sample. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... "The latest release from this small but perfectly formed Cognac house. And what a price!" 95 points Wine & Spirit Magazine

    "The aromas are more on the sugary side, molasses, crème brulee and some toasted wood, good structure on the palate; it has a pleasant bitterness that gives structure, some dried fruits and a slightly sweeter finish." - Andreas Larsson (Best Sommelier of the World, 2007)

    Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin (500ml)
    Lossburg, GERMANY
    $95. 99
    Bottle
    $1151.88 Dozen
    ABV: 47%

    This is the Gin that had world famous U.S. wine critic, Robert Parker, spellbound [see his review below]. Much to his consternation it was almost impossible to obtain a bottle in the States. The only way to get it in Australia is to source it yourself. So we did!

    Monkey 47 is definitely on a short list of hard to find but worth-the-wait gins. Produced in the Black Forest in Germany from no less than 47 botanicals (mostly from the region). Unusual ingredients include blackberry leaves, sloes, honeysuckle, pine shoots, cranberries and lingonberries. Following distillation and maceration, the gin is stored for 100 days in earthenware 'casks'. We've just imported a tiny quantity. Beautifully packaged in an old world apothecary bottle. 47% Alc./Vol.

    Tasting note: [Batch 16 tasted] Crystal clear / slightly viscous. Fabulous aromatics with juniper and lemon sherbet in the opening phase; aeration accents pine needle, potpourri and pepper. Intense but beautifully poised with pine needle, peppery juniper, dried herb and grapefruit flavours unfolding in a slow release surge. Possibly better all round balance in this latest effort? Concludes fresh, pure and super long. First rate. 47% Alc./Vol.

    First tasted 2011... Clear with a silvery, glycerous appearance. The initial perfumed burst is of sweet berry / juniper and assorted fresh citrus peel; further aeration releases pine needle, lavender and clove-like scents. Distinctive and somewhat unconventional, some tasters found the aromatics a little cologne like. On the palate, this begins soft and glycerous, gradually building intensity, climaxing in an explosion of peppers; Mid palate is off dry and oily with juniper, lavender, pine needle and spice flavours persisting into the long, very dry after taste. Bracing stuff! 94 points 47% Alc./vol.

    Other reviews…. Clear. Bold aromas of pine blossoms, exotic peppercorns, candied lemon and orange peels, sage, and sweet bbq rub with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a zesty lavender candy, pepper, powdered sugar, and tangerine sorbet finish. An excellent and unique combination of vibrant citrus, floral, and herbal dimensions. Will be outstanding in cocktails.

    "...something I am trying to track down for my personal use, an absolutely extraordinary perfumed, intense, silky gin called Monkey 47, which is made in Germany's Black Forest. Packaged in a small 500 mls bottle, it is not that expensive (approximately $100), but it was a remarkable gin. In Europe it is apparently available at top liquor shops, so if you can find it, it is an astonishing gin."

    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $169. 99
    Bottle
    $2039.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Armagnac from the Bas region is considered to have the most finesse, also tending to yield spirits that are very supple in their youth. Plantings are mostly Bacco and Ugni Blanc. The Northwestern portion of the Bas-Armagnac (known casually as the Grand Bas Armagnac) has a concentration of quality producers, especially in the department of Les Landes.

    This superb example from Castaredes has been produced from Ugni blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco 22 varietals and aged in excess of 20 years.

    Tasting note: Deep polished copper / mahogany colour is bright and shows ideal clarity. Gradually builds, issuing a mild nose prickle as it releases vanilla, mocha and date to open. Returning 5-8 minutes later finds the accent shifted towards mocha, brown sugar and brittle toffee-apple. Clean, fresh, concentrated and beautifully balanced, it offers semi sweet flavours of coffee, cocoa and prunes; hints of black pepper accentuate towards the finish delivering a pleasant heat to conclude satisfying, dry and woody with a cafe-creme, hazelnut fade. 40% Alc./Vol. 

    Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Old Packaging
    Kent, UNITED STATES
    $499. 00

    $5988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 50.5%

    Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

    Wild Turkey's 'Kentucky Spirit' is a limited release, 101°proof release drawn from a single barrel. Each barrel is hand-selected at the peak of maturity before the bourbon is poured out and bottled. A stickler for quality, Jimmy Russell personally selects each of the barrels used. His challenge is to find single barrels that capture the essence of Wild Turkey, while at the same time, having a similarity that gives each taste of Kentucky Spirit consistency from bottle to bottle.

    "Kentucky Spirit has a complex layering of almonds, honey, blackberries and leather. The finish is almost aristocratic -- long, dark, lingering, and crying out for a fine cigar", he says.

    Available in limited quantities, each and every bottle is handsomely packaged with a hand-signed label bearing the barrel number, date and warehouse number. 50.5% Alc./Vol.

    Notes sourced from www.jackdaniels.com - This special bottle is the seventh in our Gold Medal series and honors the 1981 Institut Pour Les Selections De La Qualité in Amsterdam. It had been 27 years since the Jack Daniel Distillery had entered a Gold Medal competition, and much had happened with the Distillery during that time. Within two years of winning the 1954 Star of Excellence in Brussels, Belgium, Jack Daniel’s had experienced a 100 percent sales increase as well as a change in ownership. Lem Motlow’s four sons- Reagor, Robert, Hap and Conner – sold the Distillery to Brown-Forman Corporation in 1956. Jack Daniel’s continues to experience tremendous growth, with volume increasing tenfold by the end of the 1970’s. Our Tennessee Whiskey was being sold throughout the world and had developed a loyal and diverse following, from bankers to bikers, from movie stars to rock stars. Despite all the changes, however, there was nothing different about our commitment to making our whiskey. And we thought it was important to demonstrate that commitment by entering the Brussels-based Monde Section Institut Pour Les Selections De La Qualité in 1981. The judges awarded Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey the institution’s top medal, the “Grand Gold Medal with Palm Leaves,” during ceremonies held that year in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Another quarter of a century has passed, and we still adhere to Mr. Jack’s philosophy in making sure our whiskey is of the highest quality: “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.”

    ABV: 40%
    El Dorado 8 Year Old - a product of the worlds oldest and most revered rum stills.

    Sugar was first produced in Guyana in 1658. By 1670 every sugar factory had a small Rum Still attached to it. This was the origin of Demerara, and Demerara Rums. Over a period of time there were steep fluctuation in prices that resulted in the closure of some sugar estates and consolidation of others. Today the associated stills have rationalised into one distillery - Demerara Distillers Limited, the makers of El Dorado. In 1740 Admiral Vernon formalized the rum ration for the Navy, with the rum composed of 82% Demerara and 18% other Caribbean Rums. The Port Mourant double wooden pot still (built in 1732) became the favoured source of Demerera Rum for the British Pursers. Before entering into battle the rations (tots) were doubled and British Navy men, steeled by the liquid courage tore into the enemy. Rum, and the classic stills that produced it, helped make Britain the supreme power at sea, forging an empire and the classic era for this great spirit.

    El Dorado 8 Year Old is a blend of Enmore (built in 1880, the world’s oldest and only wooden, column Coffey still), Port Mourant and the modern Diamond (steel column) stills. It is aged a minimum of 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks.

    Tasting notes: The deep brassy gold colour is flawless and bright. Offers up an attractive, mildly fruity bouquet including scents of dried pineapple and bounty bar. Raisins and dates come to the fore after several minutes in the glass. The aromas are reflected on the palate which is creamy with semi sweet, juicy sultana / date / fruit cake flavours. Concludes balanced, creamy-yet-fresh with mocha and vanilla custard tailing off into a gently spicy fade. Utterly delicious. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Rittenhouse Very Rare 23 Year Old 100 Proof Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml)

    $59988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

    Produced in the tradition of the classic Pennsylvania or Monongahela rye whiskies, Rittenhouse is now enjoying a renaissance. On the other hand, its older incarnations have become hugely collectable. This bottle is from barrel No.8. Reportedly the smaller production run in the extra aged Rittenhouse series (the others were the 21 and 25 year olds), as a point of comparison, the 21-year-old release was 32 barrels. The 23-year-old was just 25 barrels. While all three expressions were aged on the lowest floors of rickhouse OO, as single-barrel releases, each barrel release will yield a slightly different whiskey. Produced at the scenic Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, home of numerous other whiskies - mostly bourbons - the 23 Year Old comes packaged in a tall tapered, gold-printed bottle. It goes without saying that this is now extremely unusual to find. 50% Alc./Vol.

    Tasting note: Bright polished copper-penny colour. Linseed oil gives way to pine needle, peppermint and sawn oak on the nose. Very low-key rye. Sedate on entry with delicate dried coconut and supporting apply rye accents on the finish. Medium long with subtle mint refreshing the aftertaste. Highly accessible. Should appeal to Bourbon drinkers more so than hardcore rye devotees. 45.2% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Distilled from a relatively low-rye mash of 53% rye, 33% corn, 14% malt; true to Woodford Reserve form, a mingling of whiskeys distilled at Woodford and at Brown-Forman in Louisville. Nose of leather, cinnamon, rye snappiness, and hints of red raspberry. Hot and lean on the palate, spicy/sweet until rye’s bitter layering floats in, making for a dry finish as the oak comes on stronger. Balances drinkable and elegant quite nicely, and it’s real Woodford. 88 points

    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    A no age statement release from one of the industry's mega brands. Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman has a natural affinity for innovation. With this, his 'Malt Master’s Edition', he offers the first Glenfiddich to be matured in two different casks - traditional x-Bourbon casks, then Sherry casks, the latter reportedly for around five years. First passings find rich, sweet aromas of glace cherry, vanilla and clove followed by a trace of sulphur. Aeration offers more dried fruit notes that are beautifully integrated into the malt. The palate is sweet and silky, becoming loaded with spices accompanied by firm, drying oak. Traces of malt, vanilla and dried fruit sneak through the finish and aftertaste. More compelling than the standard 12 year old, but overall the profile remains typically Glenfiddich. Bottling at 43% and a longer than expected finishing bring a little extra power. 43% Alc./Vol. Batch 01/11 tasted.

    Other reviews... The sherry is big on the nose, with smoldering oak wood underneath. There’s not nearly that much citrus-fueled sherry on the palate, though, with distinct gingerbread character, with a chewy nougat, almost granulated sugar texture to it. Candied cherries give this a fruitcake feeling, along with some caramel and banana notes in the finish. The conclusion calls back to the Bourbon barrel. You get a hint of it as the final notes fade. - drinkhacker.com

    $75. 99
    Bottle
    $911.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Nicaragua is an often neglected yet noteworthy producer of medium-bodied Rums from column stills that lend themselves well to aging. Thanks to the exceptional quality maintained by distillers like Flor de Cana, the region's rums have begun to gain well deserved international recognition. Flor de Cana is owned and produced by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, which was founded in 1890. Although the brand was not marketed commercially until 1937, it is today considered one of Latin America's most prestigious rums, and has won a multitude of awards, medals and commendations.

    The seven year old bottling is aged in small (180 liter) American oak barrels, resulting in a deep brass / amber colour. Medium-intense aromas include muted golden syrup and pancake-like scents followed by vanilla pod and mocha in later passes. Quite light on entry, building to a graceful, middle-weight, svelte textured profile and semi-sweet flavours of caramel fudge, dates and vanilla. Dry, gently peppery finish. A nicely integrated and elegant sipping rum to enjoy on its own. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Deep amber color. Burnt caramel, straw, and peppery spice aromas. A round entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with dark caramel, toasted nuts, and cane stalk, and pepper flavors. Finishes with a drying mineral and lightly tannic, toasted coconut fade. A dry, reserved style.
    International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal , 88 points (Highly Recommended) - tastings.com

    ... I was actually very pleasantly surprised overall by Flor De Cana 7.  In many ways, even forgetting the price difference – this is actually a better rum than its older brother the 12 Centenario.  It might as daft as it sounds even be the younger blend and the fiery alcohol that brings this drink to life.  For me the Centenario was just dull and lifeless.  It wasn’t awful but it was unexciting and so alarmingly middle of the road I doubt I would even want a bottle at half the price. I really like this as a mixer and would definitely recommend it for a more punchy Rum and Cola. It works on quite a few different levels and is contradictory in many ways but it all seems to come together when you get mixing. 4 stars - thefatrumpirate.com

    Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Limited Edition Spanish Bitters (100ml)

    $359.88 Dozen
    ABV: 38%
    Closure: Cork

    Sourcing knowledge from patent bitters recipes, old formulae and medical journals, Adam Elmegirab has reformulated the defunct Gainer's Spanish Bitters (a recipe made popular in the 1800's for their alleged medicinal properties and complex flavour profile which included layers of chamomile, citrus, spice, violet, and berries) to produce his personal rendition based predominantly on citrus and chamomile. Botanicals are steeped in overproof spirit for no less than two weeks, which are then filtered, diluted to bottling strength with Scottish water, and coloured with a hint of caramel.

    Here is what Adam had to say when asked about his new creation:
    "I’ve not come across anything like them to be honest. The really interesting thing for me is the fact that these are essentially classic bitters, but they also have a very modern feel. As with any quality bitters they should have multiple uses so, although the dominant flavour is chamomile, the support flavourings of citrus, coriander, honey, soft spice, and violet give them great versatility in drinks calling for citrus, floral, spiced, earthy, fruity, and bitter notes."

    Experiment with these bitters in rum based cocktails or similarly dark spirits Below is the recipe Adam created especially, enjoy!

    Cocktail Recipe: The Union Flip

    -1 barspoon Caraway Seeds
    -4 crunches black peppercorn
    -1 whole egg
    -30ml Appleton 8 Year Old rum
    -30ml Licor 43
    -4 dashes Dr. Adam Elmegirab’s Spanish Bitters
    -1 teaspoon simple syrup

The label now features iconography in the shape of Arran Island, with a pair of native eagles enclosed by 'ripples' reflecting the island’s mountain waterfalls. This entry level expression shows off Arran's house style; Soft aromas of vanilla and pineapple pudding follow with delectable pear strudel and vanilla malt flavours before finishing creamy, with a touch of coastal tang. There's decent weight and mouthfeel at 43%, while the overall balance remains spot on. A profile reminiscent of older Glenfiddichs, and very easy to like. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $395.88 Dozen
    ABV: 23%
    Crème de Cacao or chocolate liqueur is manufactured by maceration or percolation of cacao (cocoa)beans followed by distillation and sweetening. As with coffee, the best results are obtained by blending beans from different areas. It is available as either a colourless or brown liquid, the brown version often containing vanilla.

    The history of cocoa and chocolate is well known to date back to the Aztecs of South America. The ‘plumed serpent’ is said to have bought it back from the ‘Lost Paradise.’ By consuming it one attained universal knowledge and wisdom. It came into vogue in Europe as a liqueur from the seventeenth century on, often being drunk through a thick layer of cream floating on the surface.

    Baitz Crème de Cacao has been blended with Australian Brandy and other spirits, rounded off by the addition of vanilla bean extract and spices.

    Baitz liqueurs have won more awards than any other maker in Australia. Their commitment to excellence and quality is unequalled. The judges in the 19th International Wine & Spirits Show in the United Kingdom recognised this with Baitz Cherry Brandy awarded the 1988 Quest International Trophy for the Best Liqueur (Category Worldwide). Baitz Cherry Brandy also received a Gold Award and Baitz Creme de Menthe and Baitz Creme de Cacao both received Silver Awards. The highly acclaimed 'Lillie Trophy' in Melbourne, Australia, which was first awarded in 1951, has been won by Baitz almost every year. 23% Alc.Vol.

    A travel retail exclusive. Head Distiller, Adam Hannett's aim was to capture the whisky's floral notes alongside the more typical coastal elements. Hence this youthful, unpeated and non chill filtered Laddie is described as "An elegant expression of Bruichladdich style. Super fruity and full of Atlantic freshness."

    Other reviews... Another Travel Retail exclusive, and while you might expect something delicate given the age statement, what is delivered is a thick, buttery/creamy opening that, for a second, teeters on the brink of sourness then pulls back to be more like ricotta cheese. It then settles into vanilla, floral notes, white chocolate, and sweet barley. The palate is thick once again, with lemon cheesecake giving a needed clean acidity. Quite a bulky youngster that’s best with water.

Deep sienna brown colour, with distinct green olive edges, showing its great age. The nose is a touch restrained at first, but yields subtle aromas of caramel, prune and honey, with a strong rancio character over a very fine brandy background. The palate is rich and luscious with very distinct nutty rancio flavours. Excellent length, with very dry finish and long lingering aftertaste of honey and caramel.A wonderful experience, at a very modest price. (375ml bottle).

    Bottle
    $899.88 Dozen
    ABV: 38%
    This famous Spanish brand of anise, often considered along with several French anisettes to be the finest of its type, was founded by Vicente Bosch at the end of the last century. There is more than one colourful anecdote behind the inspiration for the brand. One reports that Bosch, while out on business, received a little monkey as a gift which he then selected as the trademark for the brand. Commenators have noted that the monkey's face appears to be based on Charles Darwin himself - a nod to the debate at that time about the theory of evolution. The diamond pattern on the bottle, often copied by other brands, was inspired by a perfume bottle Bosch bought in Paris as a present for his wife.

    Today, Anis del Mono is available in both 'Dulce' (sweet) red label and 'Secco' (dry) green label versions. Its creation employs natural anise and other aromatic plants, distilled in copper stills to obtain essential oils which along with sugar cane, demineralized water and neutral alcohol make the final mixture before being gently stirred, filtered and bottled.

    When I tasted the 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from barrel, I wasn't convinced that it could match Rousseau's finest recent renditions of this cuvée such as the 2012, 2010 or 2005. From bottle, the wine has closed the gap, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cherries, ripe red berries, raw cocoa, beetroot and sweet soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a pretty core of fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and lively acids. This is a delicate, sapid Clos de la Roche that will drink well with a decade of bottle age. Drink 2026-2045.

    (25% new oak): Bright, dark red. Very ripe, musky nose combines purple fruits, mocha, brown spices and game, along with some subtle earth notes. The sweetest of these 2016s to this point but also fine-grained and elegant, with its intense fruit and soil flavors nicely framed by lively acidity. Very rich, dense and alive. Offers a classic Clos de la Roche combination of fruits, spices and soil character.

    Stephen Tanzer - Vinous (Jan 2018)

    Reduction dominates the nose but I doubt that it will last as nuances of fruit are 'visible'. The broad-shouldered flavors possess even better size, weight and mid-palate concentration while offering fine power and drive on the sappy, complex and balanced finale. I very much like the overall sense of harmony though again, at least moderate patience is strongly advised. Drink through 2031+.

The crushed kernels of the fruit are included with the fruit juice before fermentation as they infuse the brandy with a fine, bitter tang. Berentzen Kirsch liqueur is a sweeter version of the style bottled for sale at relatively low alcoholic strength.
