An innovative and alluring gin handcrafted from the world’s rarest citrus.
We dove deep into the world of citrus and chose to pay homage to the three genetic ancestors of all citrus fruits, the pomelo, mandarin and citron.
TASTING NOTES
A clear liquid filled with complex layers of citrus notes. A proper gin, distilled from only fresh or dried ingredients. The light, bright and rich citrus notes are perfectly balanced by delicate spices coming through from juniper, coriander and angelica with hints of liquorice and cassia.
Tropical, peppery notes are enhanced by cardamom, cubeb and Timur pepper that adds a fruity, peppered grapefruit note. Bright and zesty with subtly sweet, enticingly rich and delicately spiced for a taste experience like no other using the complex flavours of the world’s rarest citrus.

Caroni shut down their stills in 2002 and with it, marked the end to "heavy" rum production in Trinidad. A long lost distillery with only a limited number of casks available? Now, that sounds like our kind of rum. A full flavoured and rare taste of history, this batch is rich in those nutty, sweet and smokey molasses.
The Sortilège Blueberries is a Canadian whisky liqueur with maple syrup, enhanced by the delicious flavors of the famous wild blueberries from the Lac Saint-Jean region. The result is a remarkably refined liqueur that is both fruity and slightly sweet. It is best enjoyed chilled, on ice, and its richness also lends itself to coffee and cocktails. You can also serve it on its own as the perfect conclusion to an excellent meal. Sortilège is crafted from an original recipe by the descendants of Quebec's first settlers, who brought the whisky-making techniques of the New World and added a local native ingredient, maple syrup, to create a truly unique spirit.

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.

|TASTING NOTES|• NoseOpens with a beautifully aromatic nose of predominately citrus and floral notes with a hint of spiciness.• PalateFirst across the palate are the citrus high notes, with lemon followed by a hint of orange. As the spirit warms in the mouth, delicate floral notes are liberated from the bergamot and coriander. Mid-palate, there is a pepper-like warmth from the emerging cardamom and juniper. • FinaleAs the cardamom continues to bloom across the palate mint-like components further emerge. The cassia and other warm spice notes become prominent on the finish. The cassia in particular lingers, encouraging another sip.
