Amarone della Valpolicella Cesari, 75cl

Deep ruby in the glass, this cabernetSauvignon commands attention from the moment it is poured. Rich, luscious scents of sweet berry fruits entice the nose, opening to wisps of cola, licorice and spice. An intense core of ripe blackberry and boysenberry greets the palate, giving way to notes of cassis, vanilla and earth. Firm tannins and food-friendly acidity balance the plush fruit, leading to a long, pleasant finish. The intense character and complex nature of this Cabernet Sauvignon is a strong partner for meat dishes such as beef stew and roasted venison. Try it also with a flavourful starter, such as gorgonzola and walnuts, or a simple dessert, like espresso gelato.

A garnet red colour with a delicate, appealing, intense bouquet, reminiscent of violets and dry roses, alcohol-soaked cherries, vanilla, tobacco, truffles and pepper. The taste is full, robust, austere but velvety and harmonious.

Stylish to the core, Jensen’s Bermondsey gin looks fantastic in your drinks cabinet and its flavours are up to the mark too. Bursting vibrantly with juniper, a velvety smooth texture is paired with a wonderfully aromatic flavour which brings back the historical, authentic taste of London Dry. Citrus highlights make this gin exceptionally refreshing and zesty and root and spice botanicals provide an earthier balance to the gin. The intricate and complex flavours in each sip lend themselves wonderfully to gin slings and of course your classic G&T.

Wild Turkey 101 has been aged for eight years at a much higher proof than they’re traditional bourbon. This delivers a more intense, alcohol-heavy nose but also a deeper, more complex flavour. You wouldn’t know it from the nose as it’s light and unassuming but once you sip you’ll taste the depth of sweetness within this bourbon alongside the toasty alcohol burn. Pepper, caramel and honey are stand out flavours in this intense bourbon and it’s certainly one to remember.

No.3 is the London Dry Gin distilled to a proprietary recipe of Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. The name No.3 refers to the address in St James’s Street, London: our home since 1698. No.3 was created to be the last word in gin for a Dry Martini. With juniper at its heart, it unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of a classic London Dry Gin: six perfectly balanced botanicals distilled in traditional copper pot stills.

The height of luxury and craftsmanship, with a little bit of bite. Bulldog super premium gin brings together a balance of 12 botanicals including standout notes of lavender, liquorice, lotus leave, poppy and dragon eye, a fruit similar to the lychee. Smooth and less dry than most modern gins, Bulldog is British through and through and benefits from quadruple distillation in Copper Pot Stills and triple filtration through 8-Micron Filter. An award winner, beautifully packaged, Bulldog gin lends itself perfectly to mixing.

Beaujolais with a difference – vibrant, intense and fresh, with lots more character then most. Almost Rhone-like with luscious black fruits, and some weight and texture.

Yellow straw in colour with sparkles of brilliant green. The nose displays fresh, clean citrus aroma and a beautiful floral intensity. The palate is dry with crunchy green apple fruit and a refreshing acidity.

A name everyone is familiar with and a flavour that’s hard to forget, Archers Peach Schnapps has been popular since before most of us can remember. The natural flavour of the peach has been sweetened to create a moreish and endlessly drinkable taste which is most commonly and effectively paired with lemonade and crushed ice. Archers strong, sweet flavour also makes it a great choice for popping into an exotic or tropical cocktail.

Santa Teresa Gran Reserva is the flagship of this leading Venezuelan rum producer. Golden hues and five years maturation ensure an oaky depth to the flavour and from the initial aroma you’ll enjoy deep vanilla notes, a touch of spice and coconut. On tasting, Gran Reserva is dry on the palate and has intriguing spiced mocha flavour which leads into mellow fudge and toffee notes in the end.
