Taylor Made is a new range from Taylors and sets a peerless new benchmark for Aussie reds under $25. They set out to impress with this new Shiraz, so the fruit is predominantly Taylors St Andrews Shiraz vines, treated in the same way as their prestigious $70 Shiraz, except aged in French Oak instead of American Oak and for a shorter time ensuring it’s more
approachable and enjoyable in its youth. Amazingly rich with layers of dark fruits, dark chocolate, berries and complex spicy characters supported by seductive tannins and a svelte structure. A blockbuster that can’t be beat at...

With fruit from 30 to 70-year-old vines, the depth of flavour and succulence is simply stunning.

Botanicals galore are bursting out of this, fragrant, floral, award winning, Estonian Gin. Rosehip, Meadowsweet, Chamomile, Elderflower, Lavender, Fennel, Orange, Lemon and Yuzu peel, Coriander and Juniper all combine. The alchemic reaction of the DogRose petal and premium tonic water transform it from a natural copper colour to a tantalising, delicate pink!
Sun ripened, Sicilian pink grapefruits, grown in ancient groves on the Mediterranean coast, where the mountains greet the sea, infuse this vibrant, elegant, Italian Gin, with an essence of summer. The taste is initially fresh, juicy citrus and delicately piquant, Italian Rhubarb, but the finish is classical, forest floor, Juniper.

Glen Grant is once again the darling of Jim Murray’s very influential ‘Whisky Bible’ connoisseurs guide, where it was deservedly awarded ‘Single Malt of the Year’ ‘Scotch Whisky of the Year’ and ‘Best Single Malt 16-21 Years Old’. To attain its lofty status it had to defeat the world’s best and it is a fitting tribute to their ancient arts of artisanal distillation, which they have
practiced, meticulously in Speyside, since 1840. The nose is floral, perfumed fruits and rich, Highland honey. The flavours are finest vanilla, malt biscuits, luxurious caramel, sweet Spanish sherry and dark Belgian praline chocolates. Sensational!

Many Scottish whisky connoisseurs rate this fantastic whisky as the best 10 Year old in Scotland and the 8 prestigious Gold Medals it has won between 2016 to 2018, (including the World Whisky Awards) validates their claim.

Awarded many Golds since it was established in 1834, this is a masterful blend of only the very best Highland/Speyside whiskies. Aged in both Bourbon and sherry casks, the amazing colour of antique mahogany reflects complex aromas and flavours of fruitcake spices, chocolate, vanilla and sizzled fruits in sherry, perfectly!
