At 40 years, the Armagnac’s style is definitely apparent. The quality of the oak used is very important, as the right use of a quality barrel will bring complexity and finesse to the Armagnac; elements that can be judged and appreciated after 40 years in contact with the wood.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE Stewed plums and poached pears with a hint of Christmas spices.
PALATE Very rich and mouth-coating, with layers of flavour. Opening with initial plum fruitiness and a caramel sweetness married with figs and dates and a touch of nuttiness.
FINISH Full bodied with an explosion of banana bread and a lingering hint of spice.
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.
Using Rye that is locally and sustainably sourced in the Midwestern US, allow us to present a fresh and light whiskey that offers mellow and somewhat sweet notes of maple and candy corn, with a classically spicy finish. Works beautifully in classic cocktails such as a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Scofflaw, where its grain-forward spiciness balances out the sweetness of other ingredients.
Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks selected for maturation.
The Calvados Réserve is aged for 3 years in oak barrels with 25% new barrels.
AnCnoc is a rather curious whisky. This fine single malt is created using traditional production methods. The end result is a lighter-tasting single malt that makes no compromises on quality. anCnoc 12 Year Old is recognised the world over. Known as a must-have in every whisky drinker's collection, it is light yet complex. Smooth yet challenging.
Glendalough Peated Pot Still is a bold fusion between Irish whiskey tradition and innovation, redefining the Pot Still style. It is made from malted and unmalted barley, distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and aged for over seven years. The introduction of peated malt, smoked during drying, adds a bold twist, blending delicate smoke with the characteristic spices and creamy texture of Pot Still whiskey. Crafted and bottled at 46% ABV, it begins its maturation in ex-bourbon American oak casks. It then spends an additional four years in virgin oak casks. This long aging process imparts notes of toasted oak, rich vanilla, and warm spices, perfectly balanced by a subtle peated smoke. A very special edition, available for a limited time only.
