Hee Joy Single Cask Jamaica XO 2008

Etsu Pacific Ocean Water Gin is distilled at the Asahikawa distillery in Hokkaido, the second largest of the four main islands of the archipelago, but the second least populated. Spring water from the mountain and seawater from the Pacific Ocean are added to carefully selected botanicals, such as juniper berries, bitter orange peel, liquorice root, angelica and coriander to produce this unique gin, which captures the Japanese coastline in a bottle.

A very long aging in American white oak barrels gives this exceptional rum a Creole flavor and a spicy aromatic palette.

Using only the highest quality 12 year old malt and grain whiskies from select distilleries in Scotland, and matured in the finest sherry and bourbon casks, Black Bull 12 is blended to a formula of 50% malt to 50% grain whisky, and bottled at 50% abv (100 US proof), for a full-on flavour experience which will rampage all over your senses. This robust but versatile blend can be served neat, with water, or as a component of cocktails.

The Longueteau 125-year cuvée before cask aging is composed of 50° agricultural white rum, a blend of 65% red cane and 35% blue cane, with 8 months of resting in stainless steel tanks. This distillate is then transferred to 300-liter cognac casks. These casks were filled in three different years: 2008, 2009, and finally 2010.

Tullibardine Sauternes is a wonderfully rich whisky, aged in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and matured in 225-litre Sauternes barrels.

A full-bodied whisky, matured in Oloroso casks, which gives it a warm and sweet sherry flavour.

Double distilled in pot stills then aged in Sakura oak casks the famous and iconic Japanese cherrytree. Often used as a metaphor on ephemerality of beauty and life It always has been a source of inspiration for Japanese artists.

It is certainly the most wonderful age for the Armagnac enthusiast who appreciates the force and the maturity.
