Tiny Bear The Doctor 42% 700ml

Tiny Bear The Doctor:
"Alcohol and medicine have a long and proud history. It has been used as everything from a digestive to a disinfectant. Dogs bearing tiny casks of booze were used to rescue travellers from the threat of avalanche in the Swiss Alps, while a shot of gin was known to ward off the plague in Medieval times. Indeed, where would the British Empire have been without gin around to make their anti-malaria tonic drinkable? In 'the DOCTOR' we believe we continued in that grand tradition of people ‘exaggerating’ the medicinal powers of alcohol. This product is both refreshing and invigorating, just want the doctor ordered and hey it's made from kale too, so you know it has to be good for you!

St. Laurent Gin 43% 700ml
$97.00
The Gin St. Laurent is a breath of sea air laden with salt, powerful herbaceous and floral notes interspersed with a pine-wood aroma reminiscent of Quebec's boreal forest. A complex gin resulting from an improbable union of aromatics from the four corners of the globe and algae of the St. Lawrence.
A first herbaceous and floral approach gives way to notes of pinewood followed by pastry flavours, citrus scents and a peppery hint. The laminar alga, also called Neptune's harness, gives the Gin St. Laurent its characteristic greenish colour and a soft mineral and slightly iodised finish.

Calvados is a type of French apple brandy, highly valued for its clarity of flavour, with the cask being sourced from the famous Lecompte brand. Here the cask lends notes of bright fruits and tartness to the sweet, vanilla-rich and fragrant Agricole, produced from the fermented juice of the sugar cane. The spirit has been aged for 10 years, which is quite a while in the heat of the Caribbean, and produces a rum of surprising complexity. This rum has been bottled at 41.1% ABV. This is a single cask rum, with only 937 bottles available worldwide, meaning that drinkers should move fast if they want to try this tipple. The rum is presented in a frosted glass bottle with a handsome presentation box.

Product of Hobart, Australia
The fresh spirit of Tasmania’s ancient Huon Pine, iridescent abalone shell and pristine water. A nod to a London Dry, our Dry Gin features the four key botanicals of sage, abalone shell, Huon Pine needles and red grapefruit. Fresh sage is grown in our distillery garden and we source the shell whilst on family abalone dives. Once cleaned, the shell is dried and broken into tiny pieces to infuse in the gin. Abalone shell, used in Chinese medicine, is a calcium carbonate to neutralise the acids and adds a slight salinity. Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) is a species of conifer native to Tasmania. It is found by the edge of rivers and is an incredibly slow growing, revered local timber. The needles provide pine notes that differ to juniper and add to the complexity of the dryness.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE 6 DIFFERENT DESIGNS WHICH FEATURE IN EACH CASE. YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH ONE OF THE DESIGNS AT RANDOM.
Despite its ultra-modern looks, this eye-catching mezcal is produced with the utmost artisanal care and traditional methods.
Verde Momento is made with 8 year old agave Espadin by mezcalero Doroteo Garcia in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. The agaves are cooked in an underground oven using ocote, holm oak, and pepper tree which give the mezcal a smokiness desirable for cocktails. After cooking for about 5 days, the agaves are tahona-crushed before being put into 1,500 litre fermentation vats. The natural fermentation can last from 7 to 30 days depending on the production season, the amount of rain, and variations in temperature. Finally, it is doubled distilled in a 500 litre copper still.
Verde Momento is packaged in many different labels. Every batch of Mezcal Verde features a unique label designed by a contemporary Mexican artist. It is another collaboration aimed at supporting the local culture of the mezcal-producing regions - be it farmers, distillers or artists. And it captures the essence of any good drink - enjoy the moment and have fun together.
This mezcal is has notes of grass, soft smoke, and fresh peach.

Melbourne Gin Company Dry Gin 42% 700ml
$85.00
Melbourne Gin Company Dry Gin 42% 700ml:
The Melbourne Gin Company, the latest project from winemaker Andrew Marks, began with this question:
How do you create a gin that encapsulates a city?
Starting with a love of gin and stovetop experiments, Andrew set out to create a gin that would live up to its name. This led to a journey into the world of alchemy and craft distilling, with a good deal of sampling along the way.
Eleven botanicals, both local and exotic, are each individually extracted, distilled and then blended to create a well-rounded, smooth and slightly surprising gin.
Building on the classic foundations of juniper berries and coriander seed, the grapefruit peel and Rosemary hail from the garden at Gembrook Hill Vineyard in the Yarra Valley, where the gin is made.
The other locals are macadamia, sandalwood, honey lemon myrtle and organic navel orange.
Bringing Melbourne’s cosmopolitan flavour to the mix are the exotics: angelica root, orris root and cassia bark.
The final component is water – rainwater from Gembrook in the Yarra Ranges, 60km from Melbourne, with a purity that allows the botanicals to shine through.
Andrew distills each botanical individually in an alembic copper-pot still, balancing seasonal differences in the ingredients with a winemaker’s sensibility.
The final product retains this artisan approach.
The result is a unique take on the essence of Melbourne.
The Melbourne Gin Company is based at Gembrook overlooking the Gembrook Hill vineyard in the Yarra Valley, Victoria.

Melbourne Gin Company Single Shot 47.4% 700ml
Fascinated as we are with the actual crafting of products, it made sense to explore sense to explore different techniques for making Gin. Very early on we knew that this would unlock the key for any new MGC gin. It took 5 years of distillation to get it right in just one single shot.
It is a very simple idea, to distill all the botanical together in a single shot rather than the winemaking approach for the Dry Gin. Simple but Complicated. We have spent the last 5 years conducting trails perfecting our techniques and playing with different botanical's.
We wanted a Single Shot to taste the Juniper, We wanted it to taste different to our Dry Gin, We wanted it to taste amazing. We sought intensity, texture and persistence of flavor, and now, we think we have achieved these goals.
