Fassbind Vieille Poire Barrique + 2 GLASSES
This noble, carefully distilled and matured fruit brandy from Williams pears captivates the senses with the unmistakable aroma of this fruit. The Williams pear is cultivated in Switzerland in the canton of Valais and is one of the most popular pear varieties. Thanks to its powerful yet elegant aroma, it is ideal for the production of pear brandy. The freshly distilled Williams pear brandy first rests in stainless steel tanks for at least two years and then matures in oak casks for 14 to 18 months. After the maturation process, the pear brandy is further refined with a homemade bonificateur to give it the wonderful aroma and subtle sweetness, which makes this Vieille Poire so unique.

Don Papa Rhum
Don Papa Rum is the spirit of Sugarlandia. A premium aged rum from the Philippines. Created on the fertile foothills of Mt.

Darroze Domaine de Monturon 1987 - 40.5 %
For years, Mr. Bachala was a lion tamer in the Zavatta circus before turning his hand to armagnac production in the late ‘70s. The humid conditions in his ageing cellars have contributed to the fact that his armagnacs have a lower alcohol level.
Cu Bocan Signature (Grey)
In the whisky that made Cu Bocan's name, light smoke intertwines with rich citrus and exotic spices. Subtly smoky, surprisingly sweet, it opens up the world of lightly peated whisky.
