Blackwoods Vintage Dry Gin 60%, 70cl

The quintessence of Meursault, crisp and fine in youth with a beguiling minerality, this great wine will develop richness and complexity in bottle.

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. It stands out from others in the Hayman’s collection due to the intensity of the botanicals within and the addition of sugar for sweetness. 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.

Miller’s Dry Gin is distilled using traditional pot maceration methods and using many of the trademark ingredients you’d expect in a quality gin. Of exceptional quality Miller’s is shipped to Iceland once in concentrated distillate form and there it is blended with fresh cucumber flavouring and natural glacial water from the Selyri Spring. This adds a complex and refreshing flavour to the gin and brings out the natural flavours of the botanicals which include juniper, cassia, liquorice root, coriander and cinnamon bark.

Made in a copper still over 150 years old, Plymouth gin has a well matured, authentic and enjoyable dry gin flavour. Plymouth is made using no bitter botanicals and it’s the aromatic pine-driven juniper that comes first followed by lavender and camphor with a touch of lemon zest. On first sip a zing of lavender hits first and lemon and orange soon follow, with earthy notes bringing the drink into a mellow finish. Refreshing yet steeped in subtle flavours, a classic gin for your favourite cocktail.

This entry level Bunnahabhain single malt is a lightly peated offering from Islay and is aged for 12 years. Enjoy a light, fresh dram with a higher than average proof and a complex yet enjoyable flavour profile. The nose is rich in salty seaweed, warm malts and sweetness. This inviting aroma leads into a flavour which offers up notes of sherry, nuts, malt and juicy sultana. It’s wonderfully warming and sharply spiced without being overwhelming and it’s one you’ll find yourself reaching for time and again.

Roots Rakomelo is a combination of the classic aperitif Raki and sweet honey, as well as a touch of cinnamon and aromatic cloves. The flavour is strong and bright, with a little fruity warmth and a lot of nutty spice. The flavour follows the same suit with the fruity spice of the raki blending with the smoothness of the honey to create a rich yet delicate end result.

Dingle Gin is made in Co. Kerry using a recipe including local botanicals such as rowan berry, bog myrtle, hawthorn and heather. Diluted to bottling strength with water from the distillery's own well, this is fresh, floral and incredibly well balanced.

From Dutch masters Bols comes this excellent cask-aged Jenever. The style, 'corenwijn' translates as 'corn wine' referring to the high proportion of malt wine - at least 51% - used in the blend.

The first gin from St George Spirits in California, inspired by '...the wild beauty of the Golden State' and packed with local botanicals including Douglas Fir, Bay Laurel and Coastal Sage.

ROKU is Japanese for six, named after the six natural Japanese botanicals that Roku is made with, which take you on a tour of the Japanese seasons. Spring is represented by both Sakura (cherry blossom) flowers & leaves, Natsu (Japan's Summer) provides the Sencha & Gyokuro (two types of green tea), Autumn brings the Japanese pepper and Winter, the Yuzu. The eclectic mix of botanicals results in a spirit with rich character. Notes of cherry blossom are quickly followed by green tea, smokey leaves and a light bitter finish. Unusual and unexpected, this is a must-try for any gin lover, adn the Japanese rice paper label makes it a classy and smart addition to the gin shelf.
