Brocken Spectre Summer Gin 42% 500ml
$95.70
Brocken Spectre 'Summer Gin' 42% 500ml: "I really thought I had an original idea, alas, no. Saffron gin has been done before in France. I think the Brocken Specter Summer Gin is the first Australian saffron gin; we use 100% Tasmanian grown saffron and never add any coloring. For the base we combine 16 aromatics including juniper, coriander seed, lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, star anise and vanilla bean. This mix is added to a grape based spirit and left over night. This spirit/aromatic base re-distilled, after; at full strength we add the saffron. After a few days the saffron stamens are completely white and simply strained out. The gin is gluten free, vegan and unfiltered. Try a summer gin with good tonic, fresh chilies and thyme!" For more Gin, Click HERE
Barbancourt Extra old Rum 15 years 43% 750ml
$150.00
Barbancourt Extra old Rum 15 years. The Barbancourt family is of French origin, hence the spelling 'Rhum' on the label. Sugar cane grown at Domaine Barbancourt as well as other parts of Haiti is hand cut between November and June, then thrice milled, then fermented for about 72 hours with a proprietary strain of yeast developed in-house. Double distilled in a column still to 70% ABV, then second distillation yields a spirit of 90% ABV. The newly distilled liquor is diluted with water to 50% ABV before storing solely in French Limousin oak barrels and set aside for aging. Before bottling, the rum is filtered to remove impurities and achieve color clarity. A brilliant mahogany amber color is but the first clue that Barbancourt 15 year old is an exceptional rum. Aromas include beautifully soft scents of caramelized brown sugar that manage to intoxicate without overwhelming your senses, a light molasses aroma adds depth of character, oaken vanilla and notes of dried fruits - raisin, dried apricot, orange - are evident, as is a slight cane earthiness, subtly spiced with clove and cinnamon. Those wonderful aromas prepare your mouth for a nicely complex suite of flavors delivered in direct proportion with those your nose detected, but smoothed with a touch more vanilla. A medium weight body integrates heavy alcohols well into the overall liquor, allowing the flavors spread slowly and elegantly over the palate. The finish is substantial and charismatically long; cocoa adds to the complexity, with a lasting sweetness in the throat.

Christian Drouin Calvados Hine Cognac casks 43% 700ml
$228.00
Hine Angels is a magnificent 17-year-old Calvados Pays d'Auge that has finished its ageing with a 6-month finish in 3 old Hine Cognac casks.
"I remember a trip to Cognac a few years ago where I was lucky enough to stop at Hine and enjoy a wonderful vertical of old vintages of cognac, comfortably seated in the lounges of the Hine house.
Few Cognac estates can offer such a beautiful journey through time across a range of vintages.
By tradition, we have often used old Cognac barrels to age our calvados. These casks bring floral flavours and silky tannins. So it naturally occurred to me to try using some of their casks for our Experimental range.
I chose a 17-year-old Calvados du Pays d'Auge with great depth to match the flavours of the Hine cognacs." - Guillaume Drouin
