One of Brazil’s favourite Cachaça, Velho Barreiro is delicate on the nose but powerful earthy tones come through when you sip. Ripe marrow and fresh orchard fruit aromas are all present in the nose but when enjoyed neatthe flavour is crisp and clean, with a rounded flavour profile which once again allows the sweet vegetal notes to shine. This also applies when you add it to your favourite exotic cocktail, unsurprisingly a perfect partner for the other essential ingredients in a Caipirinha.
The Godfather of red vermouths. Mouthful of spicy Christmas pudding followed by waves of plums, cherries, cloves, vanilla and finally cinnamon.
Fair Coffee Liqueur is most famous for using coffee beans grown by Fairtrade farmers and sugar cane produced by fair trader farmers too. Its name is the clue and its flavour is rich and warming. You can be proud in the knowledge you’re drinking the world’s first Fairtrade certified organic coffee liqueur and enjoy a flavour which is just like freshly roasted coffee with a little fudge and nutty depth, the alcohol heat just there but firmly in the background. A little bitter coffee and chocolate come through in the finish, rounding it off perfectly.
MEGA YUM! Sipsmith boys came up trumps with this one. Super silky mouthfeel with notes of lemon barley water and crushed up breakfast cereal from your schooldays. This is followed by a creamy vanilla moment before more lemon and eventually a brief hard boiled barley sugar with orange rind. Finish is silky and leaves you with a lovely lemon barley note and a desire for more of the same.
