Pungent medicinal notes; germolene and cotton back plasters. Zesty lemon juice, crab shells and mineral oil. Some herbal notes of dried rosemary , and a hint of petrichor.

Doorly's 14 Year Old is an exceptional rum from the renowned Foursquare distillery located on the sunny beaches of Barbados. Carefully aged in Bourbon and Madeira casks, this rum embodies the perfect balance between refinement and aromatic intensity. Each sip transports you to the paradisiacal universe of Barbados, where rum-making tradition is a true passion.
This deliciously fruity whisky enjoyed initial maturation in premium American oak ex-Bourbon barrels for over 8 years. Adding further complexity, the spirit was then transferred into specially elected Moscatel casks for a finishing period of over 42 months. A particularly aromatic dessert wine produced in Portugal, these Moscatel barriques offer up floral aromas, coupled with a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Delivering distinctive notes of tart fruit and rich toffee, this bronzed malt is one to be savoured.

Elaborated in Guatemala, Botran Ki’ is an exceptional rum crafted from virgin sugar cane honey, a noble base that gives it a unique aromatic richness.
This rum is the result of dynamic aging, where the rums are carefully matured in an adapted solera system, ensuring a perfect harmony between youth and maturity.
With a finish in sweet wine casks, notably those that contained Moscatel, Botran Ki’ offers remarkable sweetness and roundness, while maintaining an authentic aromatic profile with no added sugar.
It is equally suited for neat tasting or the creation of sophisticated cocktails, thus offering great versatility to bartenders and sommeliers.
A smoky, peated, ex-bourbon cask, single malt from mainland Australia’s oldest whisky distillery. Founded in 1999, Bakery Hill Distillery is run by ex-High School chemistry teacher David and his son Andrew. Family run, small batch, with a focus on quality over quantity. It was established to prove a point - that great single malt whiskies could be made outside of Scotland, and specifically in Australia. Bakery Hill buck the trend of many wine-cask driven Australian whiskies, favouring predominantly ex-bourbon barrels.
These allow for a longer maturation, without the spirit becoming overwhelmed by the hot temperatures and cask influence.
A true flagship of the Foursquare distillery: Doorly's XO Gold is an exceptional rum, aged between six and twelve years in bourbon casks and then finished for several months in Oloroso sherry casks.
This double aging process gives this rum remarkable complexity and depth, appealing to both whiskey and cognac enthusiasts.
Caol Ila Batch 23, 14 Year Old - From a refill hoggie laid down in December 2008, we’ve re-racked this Caol Ila into first fill Oloroso Octaves to give a bold fruit flavour.
The Caol Ila distillery is situated on the north-east coast of Islay, has has been producing spectacular single malt Scotch whisky since 1846! A very well-loved distillery, producing stunning peated expressions, and in recent years have been experimenting with unpeated malt too. If you don’t like deers, you probably shouldn’t look at the label of our Caol Ila bottling, because it’s got bloomin’ loads of them on it, charging across from the Isle of Jura to Caol Ila with Prince Vultan leading the proceedings.
