To extract all the delicate aromas from elderflower blossoms, the production of Merlet's Efferlet follows a precise process. First, the flowers are infused in hot water; once the tisane is cooled, it is stabilized with fine alcohol. This is followed by blending with fruit infusions (pear and lychee macerated in fine alcohol).
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE : Very floral and fruity, with notes of pear and exotic fruits.
PALATE : Round and complex, with a balance between the tannins of the petals and the fruits, and a tangy finish that adds liveliness.

The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados.
Santa Ana Pomelo is a celebration of tropical citrus fruits with Filipino pomelo at its heart. A vibrant expression of 16 exquisite botanicals gives rise to a smooth and silky gin, bursting with ultra-bright citrus on the palate, zesty and spicy, lit up by a delightful warmth.
To make this extraordinary gin, Glendalough forage wild botanicals in the Wicklow mountains all year round. Geraldine Kavanagh, our full time forager, brings the wild, fresh botanicals to the distillery within hours of foraging where small-batch slow-distillation is used to tease out the delicate botanical flavours. Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin serves the taste of 'a year in every bottle' and perfectly captures a place in time, with four seasons of foraging in wild Wicklow encapsulated in each bottle.
Tomatin 12 Y is smooth and silky, after having been aged in traditional Scotch Whisky, ex-Bourbon and Sherry Oloroso casks. A rich and fruity aroma is the prelude to the sweet flavors of ripe apples, pears and a subtle hint of nuts. Pleasantly oily finish.
If it is close to its Scottish cousins in many respects, this version also knows how to stand back in order to better assert its origins. Its particularly original and even surprising aromatic palette is already a pretext for discovery.
La Calvados Cask Release is a vibrant expression of Glendalough's ability to innovate while honoring tradition.
Thanks to casks sourced from artisanal producers in Normandy, France, this whiskey blends the fruity freshness of calvados with the smoothness of Irish Single Grain whiskey. The result is a lively and refreshing spirit that showcases the richness of Normandy's apple-growing heritage.
Brockmans Orange Kiss is a symphony of ripe Valencian orange and zesty citrus notes, balanced beautifully with traditional gin botanicals and enhanced by vibrant flavours of triple sec. It’s warm, rich and vibrant flavours will transport you to a sensational sunset moment.
