Père Magloire 12 year old AOC is a single distillation Calvados which is fine and silky on the palate. Its deep golden brown colour is attributed to a minimum of 12 years maturation in oak barrels and this also adds a distinct addition to the flavour profile of the bottle. Fresh hazelnut marries with fruity banana and natural spices all coming together with the baked apple flavour which is typical of a quality Calvados.

The 818 Tequila brand took the world by storm upon it’s release in May 2021, and, after it’s huge success as a best-selling tequila in the US, it was released in a second country - the UK - just a few months later in November 2021 for the Brits to enjoy. Many bought 818 Tequila Añejo out of curiosity, to find out what all the hype was about - but were quickly blown away by it’s sweet and smooth taste, rich mix of flavours and pleasing aroma. The 818 brand was founded by Kendall Jenner; model, entrepreneur, and ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star. Jenner is known for expressing her huge passion for the agave spirit, and says her award-winning 818 Tequila Blanco is ‘simply perfect’. She’s certainly kept to the authentic Mexican tequila-producing methods and traditions, working closely with local family-owned agave farms and distilleries in Jalisco, Mexico. 818 Tequila Añejo is one of three tequilas of the 818 brand alongside 818 Tequila Blanco and 818 Tequila Reposado. Whereas Blanco tequilas are aged for between 2 months and not at all, and Reposado tequilas are aged for 2 months to a year, Añejo tequilas are aged for over 1 year, giving them that special aroma and uniquely rich taste. 818 Tequila is produced using traditional methods in Jalisco, Mexico at a family-owned-and-operated distillery. 818 Tequila Añejo is made from 100% Blue Weber Agaves, hand-picked by jimadores and slowly roasted in brick ovens for 40 hours by a family business in Jalisco, then aged in French oak barrels for 1 year before being exported to the UK.

Marsala is made on the Italian island of Sicily, around the coastal town of Marsala. It is made from the local grape varieties Catarratto, Grillo and Inzolia, fermented to dryness like sherry, then fortified. LABELS MAY VARY.

A young Havana Club offering, this 7 year old Cuban rum gets its amber hues from the bourbon casks it’s matured in. The aroma is reminiscent of first thing in the morning, rich in roasted coffee with vanilla and gingerbread coming through too. Vanilla fudge is the prominent flavour when you take a sip and it’s soon paired with sweet dairy chocolate, fruit trifle and woody oak notes. The end result is a warm, rounded rum which is wonderful when mixed with ginger or lime, or both!

Briottet Fraise Liqueur is a vibrantly fresh and flavoured drink which brings together the character of several varieties of wild strawberries, giving a flavour which is fruity and evokes the traditional English country garden in summer. Wonderful in a classic strawberry cocktail such as the strawberry daiquiri or to add something different and create a bright, contemporary cocktail such as a strawberry mojito. Creamy but fresh with natural wild strawberries, each sip of Briottet’s liqueur is as moreish as the last.

The intense and natural flavour of the blackberry combines beautifully with so many other flavours that this Briottet Blackberry Cream liqueur will feel more than at home in your drinks cabinet. The special recipe that Briottet have developed over time ensures that only the finest, sweetest notes of blackberry come through and are combined perfectly with the rich cream, ensuring a flavour which you can’t help but enjoy.

Velvet Falernum is a low alcohol and lightly sweet triple sec style liqueur. Produced in Barbados the liqueur is flavoured with aromatic clove, almonds and fresh lime. The sugar cane based is wonderfully sweet and helps the other flavours blend beautifully – the unique part of this flavour is definitely delivered by the lime and sugar combination which zings and the botanical warmth of the cloves adds a further dimension to the drink.

An 80:20 blend of pot still to column still rums is used to deliver the quality taste of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Aged for up to 12 years this exclusive rum is a heady concoction with sandalwood and fresh leather aromas that lead to a deep and bitter flavour. The bitterness comes through in deep coffee notes but they are matched by sweet honey and plum flavours which add a lightness to this intense rum.
