NEW FITCH & LEEDES CRAFT COLA SETS THE STAGE FOR PREMIUM SPIRITS
Advertisement
Fitch & Leedes, the bespoke range of authentic mixers, is taking the enjoyment of cola to another level with the launch of its new
Craft Cola.
Made in small batches using quadruple-filtered water for purity and the finest ingredients available, new Fitch & Leedes Craft Cola takes a bow as the perfect accompaniment to premium spirits. Fitch & Leedes Craft Cola is finely balanced to ensure the best taste representation of what was intended by the master distiller.
NEW SCOTCH WHISKY LAUNCHED IN SA
Cape Town-based premium drinks company Truman & Orange is behind the launch of Bannerman’s Finest Blended Scotch Whisky – a welcome innovation in the largest spirits category in SA, and one dominated by multinational companies. Bannerman’s Finest Scotch Whisky is a Speyside-style Scotch Whisky, produced and blended in Scotland, just outside Edinburgh. Bannerman’s is made using older, more complex malt whiskies, which give it a bolder, more complex flavour than other blends and help create its exceptionally long, smooth finish. Bannerman’s is made using a uniquely slow distillation process which ensures longer contact with the copper still, creating its beautifully fruity flavours. Aged in oak casks, Bannerman’s maturation uses a high proportion of sweet Spanish sherry casks to create an unusually smooth, rich character.
FITCH & LEEDES PINK TONIC NOW ALSO SUGAR-FREE
Life is a bed of roses with new sugarfree Fitch & Leedes Pink Tonic. Bringing you all the taste without the sugar, it is the perfect fit for a low kilojoule G&T when paired with a masterly crafted premium gin. Pretty in pink with whiffs of rose petals and fresh cucumber, the new sugar-free Fitch & Leedes Pink Tonic is a delightful alternative without compromising on taste. Fitch & Leedes can be found at leading purveyors of fine beverages, boutique wine shops, selected deli’s, fine dining establishments and cocktail bars.
NO SUGAR, NO SWEETENERS, NO PRESERVATIVES IN THE NO-NONSENSE NEW SELTZER ESSENCE
Seltzer, the brand that introduced flavoured water to South Africans, has added even more sparkle to its range. New Seltzer Essence – surprisingly honest real sparkling water – is available in three enticing natural flavours: Pink Grapefruit & Strawberry, Green Apple & Mint, and Watermelon & Mixed Berry. Families can now confidently enjoy the range’s goodness, knowing that they don’t have to worry about the dreaded sugar high or any of the other harmful effects of sugar. Health and fitness fanatics can add Seltzer Essence to their daily routine with no fears of it disrupting a carefully planned and controlled diet or training regime. And, for those who are consciously cutting down on sugar, but dreading a life of blandness, the water promises all of the taste and none of the sugar. Seltzer Essence is available on shelves across the country.
