Amarone Cask (Irish Whiskey Finish)

30.06.23

Small batch 8 year old golden rum sourced from Panama’s leading independent distillery, Autentico Nativo. Finished in Amarone wine casks that have been seasoned by their previous Irish whiskey contents.

Tasting notes: Shortbread, plum skin, orange marmalade and red berries.

Apple Brandy

24.01.21

The distillery uses surplus dessert apples from local growers to produce this brandy. They’re pressed and fermented to for 2 months before distillation to create a delicate apple spirit which captures the aroma of a country orchard on a late summer’s day.

Aromas of apple blossom and characteristic green apple flavours are perfectly married with the vanilla and caramel spiciness of the bourbon cask to leave a smooth sweet finish and the memory of warm apple crumble.

It’s a labour of love to make this ‘whisky of the Weald’.

Arctic Blue Gin

28.07.21

What makes arctic blue gin so pristine?

Designed to capture the fleeting moment of tranquil morning mist in the pristine forests of Finland meeting the scents of moist wild Arctic blueberry shrubs and spruce needles.

Arctic Blue Gin is all about experiencing the harmony of the exceptional northern nature. By non chill filtering their gins all of the natural aromas, pectins and essential oils of bilberries – the wild Arctic blueberries – are preserved in the gin.

On the nose are scents of coniferous forest and spices coupled by fragrant juniper, bilberries (the wild Arctic blueberries).

This gin is not just any gin. It’s a capture of arctic nature in a bottle. It was recognised as The Spirit of the Year 2018 at the World Spirits Awards.

Arctic Blue Navy Strength Gin

28.07.21

Dialling up the scents and flavours of the arctic nature, the Arctic Blue Navy Strength has a fascinatingly vivid, extra intense aroma of bilberry – the wild Arctic blueberry – and nordic shrubs.

A bottle of Arctic Blue Navy Strength is a celebration of arctic nature; you’ll experience wild bilberry forests on a misty morning in Finland.

All ingredients are carefully hand-selected locally and distilled in small batches to ensure the premium quality of the navy strength gin.

The Navy Strength is not short of accolades. With much fanfare it picked up Double Gold at San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2019 as well as ‘Best In Show’ unaged white spirit.

Arctic Blue Oat Liqueur

18.01.22

This is a pioneering dairy-free, gin based oat liqueur combining the genuine aromas of bilberries (wild arctic blueberries) with the smoothness of creamy dessert liqueurs.

Pure northern oats join in harmony with Arctic Blue Gin to create the flavour of an oaty blueberry pie, smothered in vanilla sauce and topped off with a generous sprinkling of cardamom. The aromas contain the scent of freshly baked cardamom bread. Arctic Blue Oat liqueur provides warmth in the winter, but serve it over ice for a refreshing and cooling drink on hot summer days. As it is dairy-free, with a unique flavour profile Arctic Blue Oat Liqueur is a great alternative for innovative mixology.

Australian Dry Gin

19.01.21

A world class, well balanced, contemporary Australian Gin. It’s bright, fresh citrus nose is balanced with gentle peppery notes on the palate. Together they deliver a rounded, lingering finish. Australian native botanicals include sea lettuce, finger lime, anise myrtle and mountain pepper leaf.

29.06.23

Blood Monkey Irish Gin is made from a blend of botanicals including lime leaf, almond, juniper berry, orris root, Irish rosemary, liquorice, coriander seed, chamomile and angelica root. This selection creates a rich and nuanced flavour profile that unfolds with each sip.

Tasting notes: Blood Monkey Irish Gin hits you with a smooth, warm citrus spice, followed with a slight floral hint, entwined with smoky, caramel flavours of whiskey.
