Renais Gin is a distinctive spirit inspired by the Burgundy region of France. Co-founded by siblings Alex and Emma Watson, it reflects their family's winemaking heritage. The gin is crafted from upcycled French wine grapes, particularly Grand Cru press grapes, and incorporates botanicals such as juniper berries, linden flowers, acacia honey, and Kimmeridgian stone—a limestone from the Chablis region known for imparting a mineral quality.
This yearly expression of Four Roses doesn't disappoint. Bottled at barrel strength with a make-up ranging 12-20 years of 1 OBSV, 7 OESK and 10 OESF, expect a creamy sensation. Notes of ripe berries, hints of citrus, burnt sugar and mellow spices. A finish to savour.

Franco Conterno is located in the heart of the Langhe, in the hamlet of Bussia di Monforte d’Alba.
It has 28 hectares of vineyards, 18 of which are planted in the territory of Barolo, in Monforte d’Alba (Bussia), Castiglione Falletto (Pugnane) and Novello (Panerole). The remaining 10 hectares are planted in Madonna di Como.
The “endless care” the winery applied to its vineyards and cellars, its emphasis on sustainability and its commitment to run a true family business is key for listing this fantastic Barolo.
“The Conterno family has been producing wines of extreme quality, elegance and prestige in Piedmont for several generations, and their work has shaped our very notion of what Piedmontese wines should be.
Barolo is a wine of the utmost quality, packed with profound intensity and marvellous fruit flavours. The palate is defined by dense, layered tannins, along with notes of raspberry, red currant, tobacco, balsamic, and a smattering of dried herbs and spices
Remus Straight Bourbon is produced at Indiana's Ross & Squibb distillery, and named after famed 'King of the Bootleggers', prohibition hero George Remus. This bourbon spent between five and six years maturing in charred American white oak barrels before being bottled at a satisfying 47% ABV. With sweet layers of maple and vanilla, supported by elegant helpings of rye, it's a solid sipper and would make a great choice for classic cocktails.
A dark dark rum from St Lucia, made by blending together 3-year-old column-still rum and 6-year-old pot-still rum, all aged in ex-bourbon casks. It combines the fresher and more citrusy character of the younger rum, with rich, brown sugar notes, toffee and tobacco from the older. A well-rounded and easy drinking dark rum.
Tasting Notes: Fermented in tank at low temperatures for maximum freshness, it is characterised by soft peach and nectarine fruit characters, balanced by a lively fresh citrus acidity.
Complex and intense on the nose, displaying exotic fruit and citrus aromas, the most prominent being pineapple, over other fruit such as green apple and lemon. On the palate the wine is fresh and rounded, with pleasant acidity. The fruits present as aromas come through on the palate and the overall result is a wine that is full-bodied, lively and well balanced./p>
This bottling from the folks at Gonzalez Byass presents a piece of Jerez winemaking history! It uses Palomino Fino grapes which were vinified at the Viña Canariera wineries back in the '80s. This was the last time such a process was used by them, after which, the technique all but died out in the region and the grape variety was kept more or less exclusively for sherry production. This wine has been ageing since 1986 and only two butt casks were selected for this bottling, so it really is a rarity and a bit of a lost relic!
Sweet figs and prunes, rich dark molasses, bright wood and alluring spice.
VERY RARE SWEET PALOMINO.

Ten botanicals are used, as with all Hayman’s gins, and strong notes of crystallised lemon and orange peel paired with lavender are the first scents you’ll smell. Dry orris root is the first flavour you’ll taste alongside pine and juniper as well as zesty lime. The aftertaste is bitter with the juniper still lingering.
An original family recipe lives on in Hayman’s Old Tom. Clean and fresh in its flavours with a history dating back to the 1860s, Old Tom uses the same ten botanicals it always has.

Juniper and orange zest work together to introduce the drink and by the end you’ll be enjoying cracked black pepper in a clean, long finish.
The flavour of wild English sloe berries is encapsulated perfectly in Hayman’s gin.

It ends on an intensely spiced and fruity note, with the traditional gin flavours combining with the sweet sloes.
The flavour density is stunning, the complexity is joyful, and the balance is sublime. Caramelized apples, cobbler crust, subtle spices, nuances of Sauternes, sticky but with a tannic acidity that lifts the palate and pulls you back like a hummingbird to honeysuckle.
