Ten Essential Bar Stocks

HAIG CLUB Haig Club is a new single grain Scotch whisky with a character and style that sets it apart. Haig Club is designed to be different - from the unique way in which the liquid has been crafted, to the distinctive square blue bottle, to the partnership with global icon David Beckham and British entrepreneur Simon Fuller. www.haigclub.com JÄGERMEISTER A wildly popular drink for well over a decade, Jägermeister, German for “master hunter”, is made with 56 individual natural ingredients, including herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits from all over the world. All the herbs and spices are carefully weighed, milled and ground in different grain size granularity and arranged into a mixture. www.jagermeister.co.za BAIN’S SINGLE GRAIN WHISKY WELLINGTON VO BRANDY Wellington VO Brandy is a premium blend of selected three- and five-year-old Cape brandy with unmatured neutral wine spirits. It is distilled primarily from colombard and chenin blanc grapes, and is designed to be enjoyed with a wide range of mixers, or on the rocks. What you see is what you get. And what you get is a smooth, easy-drinking and perfectly blended quality brandy at a price that suits your pocket. Nothing more and nothing less. Net so. www.esnell.co.za TEN ESSENTIAL BAR STOCKS Bain’s Single Grain Whisky is a double matured whisky produced from 100% South African yellow maize (you may call this corn). It's first matured in specially selected first-fill bourbon casks for a period of three years, then transferred to a second set of first-fill bourbon casks for a further 18 to 30 months, to extract a full, rich flavour like no other.

Musgrave Pink Gin has all of the spice and flavour of Musgrave 11 but is toned down to be gentler and less spicy and to bring out the floral of the rosehips and the infused rosewater. Musgrave pink celebrates the flower of love and beauty with the source of the rose, rosehip, which complements Musgrave's spicy nature. It is then infused with rosewater for its timeless perfume and romance.
