THE BRANDS

j h

Benromach 10YO

Benromach 10 Years Old is a multi-award winning Single Malt Scotch Whisky hand-crafted at Speyside’s smallest working distillery. Initially matured in a mix of Bourbon and Sherry casks, the whisky is transferred to European oak Oloroso Sherry casks for a final period of maturation. The result is a beautifully balanced dram, displaying a rich Sherry character, summer fruit flavours, malt creaminess and a light peat smoke influence.

Bombay Sapphire

The creation of Bombay Sapphire is truly unique and based on one of the earliest recorded recipes for a premium quality London Dry gin, originally created in the north west of England in 1761. The ten botanicals used to create Bombay Sapphire are far from secret - they are pictured on every bottle - but what is secret is the exact quantity of each botanical used to achieve the perfectly balanced taste.

Caorunn Gin

Caorunn Gin is a a small batch distilled, handcrafted Scottish gin, infused with five Celtic botanicals. Caorunn, pronounced ‘ka-roon’ is the Gaelic word for Rowan Berry, one of 5 Celtic botanicals used to infuse its unique flavour. This gin is small batch distilled and handcrafted by our Gin Master at Balmenach Distillery. Caorunn. A renaissance in taste. www.caorunngin.com

DRAMBUIE

In 1746 Prince Charles Edward Stuart (known also as Bonnie Prince Charlie) was on the run, after defeat at the Battle of Culloden had ended his hopes of restoring the Stuarts to the throne of Great Britain. He was pursued by the King’s men across the Highlands and Islands of Western Scotland, bravely aided by many Highland Clans. Amongst them was Clan MacKinnon, it was their chief John MacKinnon, who helped the Prince escape to The Isle of Skye. In thanks for his bravery the Prince gave John MacKinnon the secret recipe to his personal liqueur, a gift that the Clan were to treasure down the generations. An extraordinary elixir that would, many years later, become known to the world as Drambuie.

j h Jose Cuervo

Over 200 years ago Jose Antonio de Cuervo acquired land in the rich lava fields of the tequila volcano from the King of spain. His purpose was to cultivate the sacred plant indigenous to those mineral-rich lands – blue agave – and to create a fine, unique spirit: Tequila Cuervo. Today, at the same distillery, the oldest in latin America, the Cuervo family continues to produce its unique range of tequilas enjoyed the world over. Cuervo Especial Reposada, aged in oak barrels, contains all the magic of the blue agave and Cuervo Especial silver has a lighter crisper taste. Both Cuervo Reposada and the Silver are best enjoyed ice cold.

The King’s Ginger

The King’s Ginger is a high-strength liqueur created by the careful maceration of ginger root, enlivened by the judicious addition of citrus in the form of lemon oil. Although warming and heartening on a cold day as originally intended, it is a splendidly uplifting tonic to be appreciated on its own all year round as well as in any number of cocktails and long drinks.

The Kraken Rum

Like the sea monster, the Kraken rum is black and powerful. Distilled on Trinidad & Tobago and fermented from naturally sweet molasses made from sugar cane grown on the nearby riverbanks. The rum is aged in oak barrels for between 12 to 24 months before being blended with a range of 14 different spices including cinnamon, ginger and clove.

mARTINI

In 1847, two men Alessandero Martini – a wine merchant , and Luigi Rossi – a Master Herbalist teamed up to create a new company Martini & Rossi. They shared a unique passion for new flavours and ideas, but also for fun – for ‘Gioia di Vivere’. And they hoped that the drinks they were creating would inspire the same feeling in all who tasted them. After much experimentation, they created a drink full of life and flavor to launch their new company, the drink was none other than the now world famous MARTINI Rosso and in the 1910s, the sons of Luigi Rossi inherited their father’s company and created MARTINI Bianco.
