An African-themed gin. The gin combines African botanicals with traditional juniper and orange peel, resulting in a spirit that’s floral, fruity, spicy and herbaceous.

Served chilled on its own, this Quince Gin is an ideal replacement for desert wines, especially if paired with apple crumble alongside a cheese board (Manchego especially). Because it is not technically a Gin (it’s not over 37.5% ABV) expect to see some name changes to comply with regulation, but whatever the final name written on the bottle is – seek this out, it is well worth it! Ridiculous and delicious.

THE King's Ginger - a liqueur specifically formulated by Berry Bros. in 1903 for King Edward VII. Rich and zesty, the liqueur was created to stimulate and revivify His Majesty during morning rides in his new horseless carriage - a Daimler. A quirky and high-strength liqueur created by the careful maceration of ginger root, enlivened by the judicious addition of citrus in the form of lemon oil for an unexpectedly fresh lift. It has been appreciated by bon viveurs, sporting gentlemen and high-spirited ladies ever since.

Owner Sebastiaan van Bokkel describes Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin as Dutch Courage mixed with Indonesian spice. We agree – Bobby’s is an exotic and contemporary Gin that is sure to have heads turning.Bobby’s Gin is multilayered and soft on the nose – there is no spiritedness’ yet it is incredibly fragrant. Lemongrass and rosehips burst on the nose in an intoxicatingly exotic mix. Complex clove and coriander seed flavours follow up these elements once tasted, with a refreshing zing from the lemongrass joining in. The juniper anchors the gin while cubebs linger long after the sip has disappeared. The Gin works well in a Gin & Tonic but is easy to imagine working well in a multitude of cocktails, especially, re-interpretations of classic Genever based punches.

Every drop of this specialty reminds spring. The intense scent of elderflower is striking. Perfect sweet-acid balance. Excellent with Prosecco!

Since its creation Aperol has been the quintessential Italian aperitif. Its unique secret recipe has remained unchanged throughout the years. Aperol is the irreplaceable ingredient for the preparation of the original Aperol Spritz.

Vecchia Romagna is obtained by using exclusively wines coming from the pressing of highly selected Trebbiano grapes, that grow only in Romagna, between the upper Adriatic and Po Valley. Through extremely selective distillation, the ethyl alcohol and the noble parts of the wine are separated from the other parts - such as the tops and tails - that can harm the spirit. The first process to ennoble and enhance the product, is followed by the long, delicate period of aging. The spirit rests for many years in silent cellars, in valuable small oak barrels, letting time and nature merge together. Periodically, the lots are tasted to check how they are taking to the barrel and are then transferred into older and larger casks, where the process of harmonising the aromas is completed. Mixing with the wood’s colouring and tannin, the spirit’s aromatic substances are slowly transformed, gradually creating the unmistakable bouquet and taste of Vecchia Romagna brandy, Italy’s best selling spirit and one of the symbols which make Italy celebrated for its taste, creativity and style throughout the World.

Nose: Aromas of fresh lemon zest, Lemon Meringue pie. Palate: Supple, fruity, full body, tangy. Finish: Bitter sweet lemon zest and earthy pithiness.

A classic Russian vodka, clean and crisp with a little bit of grain flavour. Perfect for drinking straight, as is the Russian way!

Spring-crop rhubarb and Oriental ginger marry to create a liqueur that promises lively sweetness, sharpness and spice on the nose and palate with a lingering warm finish.

Sugar puffs with full cream milk on the nose, this has elements of grapefruit juice, pineapple and honey as well. The palate is sweet with a balance of vanilla, dried apricot, and white chocolate. The finish is smooth with the oak drying spices kicking in to give a medium length finish

This is the entry level expression from the Antiquary blended Scotch whisky range, owned by the Tomatin distillery after their acquisition of J. W. Hardie in 1997. A light, malty blend, with notes of dried fruit, marmalade, vanilla cream and a touch of heather honey.

The bold flavours of Canmore Original Single Malt reflect the life of King Malcolm III. A reassuringly complex and smooth Scotch. The search for the classic single malt can end now with this easy-going, easy-drinking whisky.

Porter's Gin from Aberdeen is made with juniper, angelica, almond, coriander, liquorice, lemon, orange, buddha’s hand, pink peppercorn, orris root, cassia bark and cinnamon. It's named after Professor Andrew Porter from Aberdeen University who sourced the team's rotary evaporator, used to cold distill some of the more delicate botanicals (including citrus) under vacuum whilst others go into a traditional copper pot still.
