Nose - Sweet and spicy notes of fig, cinnamon and peppercorn transcend into a deep, rich chocolate cherry liqueur. Palate - Sweet brown sugar and notes of chocolate fade to reveal a burst of red cherry. Finish - Fresh green peppercorns linger, with a slight acidity underlined with a tannic, lip drying influence. Staff Thought Some kind of aromatic spice on the nose, maybe coriander seeds or fenugreek. Fairly dry, maybe cranberry on the palate.
Tesla Sljivo is 100% natural plum brandy and lives up to that label. Distilled in Croatia, this is an authentically traditional Eastern European drink. The tell tale plum flavour lasts from nose to finish and intertwines with a vanilla sweetness and cinnamon spice. There is a slight sharpness to the alcohol, which can also be heavily detected on the nose, but this works well with the plum and creates a sharp yet smooth expression.
Marshals Drink/Shot is a flavoured vodka of Finnish origin, served as a schnapps. The drink is named after Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, the Marshal of Finland.According to all sources it is important that the glass where the drink is served is poured as full as possible (to the point where surface tension keeps some of the drink in the glass); the glass is then to be emptied without spilling. This practice is said to originate in the Chevalier Guard where Mannerheim once served; every man was entitled one shot of Vodka per day, and through this practice everyone was assured the equal maximum amount.

Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "White-peach and lemon aromas invigorate the nose of this straw-colored, nearly translucent wine. It's light bodied, with bright tropical-fruit and citrus flavors on the palate, followed by the pleasant bitterness of lemon pith on the lengthy finish." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast
Rich, warm red fruits on the nose with hints of dried herbs, this is a wine with a great sense of place and is one of the few reds that pairs brilliantly with cheese. Ageing in French oak barrels (20%) for 12 months adds spice and structure and the wine finishes with a fresh cherry note and light tannins, making you want another sip.

Showing well right now, with notes of black cherry, black currant, milk chocolate, and tobacco commingling throughout. There's a healthy dose of oak too that straddles the line but never quite takes over. Surprising freshness, with welcome acidity. This is solid.
Seductive and intense nose. Aromas of red plums and blackberries dominate, nuanced with methol notes, cloves and sweet spices like cinnamon and cocoa. wine is underpinned by a smooth, sleek texture and fine tannins.
An exciting expression from Nomad, this whisky has been on a journey! Firstly, a selection of previously matured malt and grain whiskies were blended and matured in Scotland. Next up, the blend was shipped over to Jerez, home of legendary sherry producer Gonzalez Byass, where it was filled into two types of sherry cask – Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso. This Reserve expression is matured for a decade in total, it's a splendid sipper, and should be rather exciting indeed for fans of well-sherried whiskies.
