No less than 74! (yes, seventy-four) herbs and essences, the so-called botanicals from 19 different countries from the Alpine region, the Mediterranean to Madagascar and India, give the BLACK GIN its individual fine note and its absolute unique position.
The gin is based on a foundation of fresh wheat. The resulting, crystal clear, base spirit is then aromatized with 74 botanicals in order to give it its astonishing and exciting flavour profile. While 62 of them are macerated for 12 days straight at a constant temperature of minus 24 degrees Celsius, the remaining 12 are added right before the actual distillation itself. After the spirit has been mixed with spring water, it is stored in barrels made of stainless steel and bottled by hand before being released to the public.

Don Papa Rum is the spirit of Sugarlandia. A premium aged rum from the Philippines. Created on the fertile foothills of Mt. Kanlaon, where the finest sugarcane is milled to produce sweet, rich molasses. Don Papa is a tribute to Papa Isio, the real and charismatic leader from the island of Negros, Philippines. His legend was instrumental to the independence of the island during the Revolution of the 1890s. The figure of Don Papa is inspired by Papa Isio, though he is not the same person. Rather, Don Papa is the embodiment of the spirit of Sugarlandia.Giftpack don Papa with a pack of playing cards personalized by DonPapa !
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.
Aging: Two years minimum. In toasted 400 l (88 imperial gallon) oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
The Big Smoke was created to blend malt whiskies from some of the Scotland's most iconic distilleries, and to bottle it in its most rugged form. This whisky is reminiscent of traditional Islay malts, full of peat smoke and coastal sweetness, powerful yet caressing, everything you would expect from a blend of exceptional smoky whiskies.
Our malt is crafted slowly and is matured at the distillery in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors. We're proud of our heritage and have used traditional methods since we rolled our first barrels back in 1790. And yet we're not afraid to tinker with tradition if it serves to improve our product. Our single malt is the perfect mix of nature and nurture and we believe in quality above all else.
