Prohibition Mother's Day Gin 42% 500ml
$99.00
Prohibition’s 2024 Mum’s Gin presents a bouquet of fresh berries and blossoms right off the bat. On the tongue, it weaves together the distinct tastes of pomegranate, scented rose, and rich vanilla. The blend is perfected with the crispness of piney juniper, the aroma of hibiscus and lavender, all rounded off with the zest of sunrise lime and Riverland lemon, creating a truly special concoction. This gin is both bold and sophisticated, effortlessly marrying delicate tastes in a distinctly lively manner.
Perfectly served chilled on its own, as a lush gin and tonic (or gin and soda), or in a Collins garnished with wild berries and a sprig of basil. Treat her to something extraordinary!
Nosferatu Blood Orange Gin 40.4% 700ml
$82.00
Inspired by a love of arthouse cinema, Nosferatu Blood Orange Gin takes it cues from the black and white cult classic, Nosferatu.
The Gin is lovingly distilled, under the cloak of darkness, in 'The Schreck', a coffin-shaped pot still (believe that if you will) in a dusty old South Melbourne cellar.
With its distinctive red hue, this Gin is delicate, yet packs a punch with botanicals such as Albanian juniper berries, blood orange peel, fresh navel oranges, dried orange peel, roasted fenugreek, coriander seeds, cardamom seeds, wormwood and angelica root.
A true cult classic. You know you want it.
As with all classics, treat it with respect. Fill a Copa de Balon with the best ice you can find, add a generous nip of Nosferatu Blood Orange Gin, top up with a quality tonic and finish off with a sliver of blood orange. Cheers.
A must try Melbourne made gin.

J.M Rhum Agricole Blanc (White) 50% 700ml
$105.00
Martinique is a French island with the largest number of distilleries in the Eastern Caribbean. Both pot and column stills are used. As on other French islands such as Guadeloupe, both rhum agricole (made from sugar cane juice) and rhum industriel (made from molasses) are produced. These Rums are frequently aged in used French brandy casks for a minimum of three years with 'Rhum vieux' (aged Rum) frequently compared to high-quality French brandies.
J.M rum is distilled on Martinique's smallest estate, located in the northeast in Macouba, where the sugar cane grows on 28-degree vertical slopes in rich volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Pelée. Due to its unique location with sea breezes, rainforest, an intense microclimate, and high cloud cover, Rhum J.M. cuts their sugar later than other distilleries (most cut the cane at the end of February or early March, whereas Rhum J.M. does not cut theirs until late March or early April). This practice, combined with the region's peculiar environment are said to be contributing factors to the unique flavour to this unusual rum.
Francois Voyer XO Gold 20-30 years Grande Champagne Cognac 40% 500ml

A rich, full of rancio, grape-to-bottle Cognac. Minimum 20 years old, all the way to 30 years old. This cognac provides access to a single vineyard, quality “XO”, very different from the blends of the bigger brands. A very special drink to keep the night going with family and friends.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Amber, with a touch of old gold.
Aromas: Down among the flowers: touches of jasmine, clove pink, combined with the first flavours of fruits: peach, plums. The old maturation of this Cognac has given it its vanilla aroma and this light and sweet aroma that only an old Cognac has.
Palate: The outstanding touch for this Cognac XO is probably its great elegance which is one of the major characteristics of the « Premier Cru », fully represented here by the delicacy of aromas as well as the subtlety of its palate.

Willett Family Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Pot Still Reserve 47% 750ml
$148.00
Willett Pot Still Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers 5YO White Oak 47% 750ml CARAFE.
Handcrafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon using time-honoured methods in the art of distillation and using only limestone spring water, carefully selected grains and secret strains of yeast. Aged in new white oak casks until fully mature and then bottled by hand in a beautiful pot still shaped bottle that is hand-numbered.
The nose is " vanilla lemon cake". The palate is a balance of caramel, vanilla, spices, and citrus. I'm not sure if they made the opulent bottle to match the Whiskey or vice versa. - Tasting notes courtesy of Bill Thomas, Jack Rose Dining Saloon
