Absinthe Verte NV - 40 %
L'Absinthe Verte NV is a modern absinthe that draws inspiration from traditional French recipes while adding a touch of contemporary boldness.
Created by George Rowley in 2008, this absinthe takes its inspiration from research conducted at the Schimmel Library, the oldest herbalist library in Europe.
While the classic absinthe ingredients, such as grand wormwood, fennel, and star anise, are well represented, more innovative elements like natural vanilla from Madagascar and cocoa beans add a unique sweetness and complexity. The name "Envy" (NV) evokes feelings of passion, desire, and admiration—a drink so desired it stirs envy in those who have yet to taste it.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Upon opening, intense aromas of aniseed herbs are revealed, complemented by soft and subtle notes of vanilla and mint. The whole is refreshing and inviting.
PALATE: The palate is lively and rich, blending classic flavors of anise and grand wormwood with a modern, creamy touch of cocoa. Vanilla brings a balanced sweetness, counterbalanced by the slightly earthy bitterness of fennel and wormwood. The whole is harmonious, with a nice roundness in the mouth.
FINISH: Long and silky, the finish reveals sweet notes of vanilla and cocoa, mingled with a refreshing hint of mint and a subtle bitterness of herbs that lingers pleasantly.

Don Papa
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.

Finlaggan Eilean Mor
A 2015 addition to the Finlaggan range, named Eilean Mor (those of you that know about Islay's geography will be familiar with that name).
