Exclusively sherry seasoned whisky with the perfect balance of European and American oak maturation to create a distinctive American oak style, sweet, honeyed and rounded. Creamy butterscotch with a hint of toffee apple, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak. Deliciously honeyed, wood spices and citrus, balanced with raisins and caramel. Oak lingers, warm, sweet and drying.

Very pale straw colour, clean citrus and floral notes are complex with fresh cream and bread dough aromas. The fine bubbles provide a creamy texture, while the delicate acidity balances the fresh fruit.

The 2016 Ausone is a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc picked 10-14 October and 14-19 October, respectively, at 40 hectoliters per hectare. It is matured in 80% new oak with a light toasting, a move that Alain and Pauline Vauthier have made in recent years just to lessen the impact of the oak.

There is a palpable stateliness about the Ausone this year. It is extraordinarily pure and articulates its terroir as well as any vintage that I can remember over the last 20-odd years. It is not as flamboyant as other Saint Emilions, more correct and precise. The palate is very elegant and precise. I adore the exquisite balance of this Ausone, the precision and fineness of the tannin, the effortlessness that it conveys. This is classy and sophisticated, satin-like in texture with a long and sensual finish.

Not an Ausone that is going to blaze across the sky, this is a cerebral, intellectual Ausone that will entrance for many years to come.

The Bargylus Red is composed of two-thirds Syrah, and one-third a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Bargylus is an essentially Mediterranean wine with a surprisingly singular style. At no point does the Syrah dominate, the natural tendencies of this varietal having been suppressed by the intense terroir. Here Syrah expresses less black fruit and pepper, with a greater emphasis on floral aromas and a bias towards peony. Deep purple hue, the nose is complex with notes of spices & truffles. There is precision in the mouth with excellent balance between the integrated tannins, the elegant fruit and mineral freshness. The finish is powerful and sustained.

Crafted from organically-grown grapes

Bacardí Reserva Ocho is an eight-year-aged rum, originally created in 1862 as a private blend for the Bacardí family, earning it the name "family reserve." Crafted with care, it’s aged for at least eight years in American oak barrels, resulting in one of the oldest private rum blends in existence.

The aging process gives it a rich amber color and a layered flavor profile, with hints of dried fruit, warm spices, and subtle oakiness. On the palate, expect a balanced mix of butterscotch, nutmeg, and caramelized vanilla, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Bacardí Reserva Ocho is perfect for sipping neat or elevating cocktails like the Old Cuban or Old Fashioned, highlighting the depth of its flavors. It embodies the craftsmanship and heritage Bacardí is renowned for worldwide.

The complex and harmonious combination of aromas of this elegant, noble wine elevate it to truly world-class status. Beautiful golden yellow in colour. Very intense, complex aroma with notes of fruit (citrus and peach compote) over a very fine background of vanilla. Oily and very big on the palate with superb acidity, pleasantly expressing the fruity notes of the aroma.

Cachaca 51 is Brazil’s leading brand of Cachaca with over 240 million liters sold annually, and is the second largest selling spirit in the world. Cachaca is a cane neutral spirit from Brazil that is distilled directly from fermented sugar cane juice. Cachaca 51 is made from the finest varieties of cane crop harvested at the peak of sugar content from the heartland of the plantation area of Brazil.

Cachaca 51 has a pleasant and sweet aroma with notes of fresh apple and sugar cane juice; spicy, with a sweet and herbaceous finishing in flavor. Cachaca was first produced in the 1530’s, soon after Brazil was discovered. This exquisite spirit is distilled from the fresh juice of Brazilian grown sugar canes, and can be enjoyed as part of a variety of cocktails, including the Caipirinha, as well as straight.

Both Cachacas and Rums are made from sugar cane; the difference lies on the requirement that Cachacas can only be made using pure sugarcane juice, when Rums can be made with either sugarcane juice or molasses.
