Ink Dry Gin is Australia’s first luxury premium gin, hand-crafted and pot distilled in small batches with organic botanicals in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

Ink Dry Gin is a premium dry gin made with 14 botanicals that include a mix of traditional and Australian natives, with locally grown lemon myrtle next to juniper berries at the top of the flavour profile. A suite of organic ingredients including coriander, Tasmanian pepper berries, freshly sun dried orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, elderflower, and oris, angelica and licorice roots playing supporting roles adding balance, aroma, fragrance and spice.

Apart from its distinctive taste, an innovative additional step in the gin making process sets Ink Gin apart from all other gins. After distillation, we organically infuse the gin for 24 hours with butterfly pea flower petals, a flower that has long been used in herbal infusions and Asian cuisine. The natural floral ink gives Ink Gin its beautiful and luxurious royal blue to deep purple colour, with the colour varying depending on the angle and intensity of light.

Habitation Velier Last Ward 2007 Pure Single Rum (PRE-ORDER) is part of the highly anticipated 2nd release from VELIER. In 2016 VELIER launched the Habitation Velier range, being the world’s only range of Pure Single Rums acting as a reference point to the type of rum produced by each distillery’s unique pot still.

The term ‘Pure Single Rum’ defines a rum from a single distillery, distilled exclusively in pot stills. Pot still rums are more complex and typically more suitable to long ageing. The vintage Pure Single Rums are entirely aged in the tropics, ensuring a natural, accelerated aging compared to European ageing, at the expense of higher angels share.

The 2nd releases continue the vision of showcasing some of the worlds finest pot still rums, featuring expression from Worthy Park and Hampden in Jamaica, and Foursquare and Mount Gay in Barbados.

Habitation Velier Last Ward 2007 Pure Single Rum is distilled at the famous Mount Gay Rum Refinery in a triple-distillation pot still. It is the first Mount Gay in the three-hundred-year history of the distillery that is produced only by pot still. The name is a tribute to Frank Ward and his family, who owned the distillery before it was acquired by Remy Cointreau. This exceptional Bajan rum is bottled at barrel proof, 59% ABV, is unfiltered, sugar free, and is tropical aged in ex-bourbon American oak barrels.

Four Pillars Sherry Cask Gin is a solera made up of 42 casks, some from Spain and some from famous Australian fortified wines, historically known as “Australian Sherry” and now known as Apera. 

The casks are much older than our Chardonnay barrels, varying in age from 15 to 35 years old. These barrels were first filled more than a year ago, and this is the first solera release taken only from the bottom row of barrels. 

Slightly deeper in colour, this is a rich, intense and layered barrel aged gin. A pine needle quality underpins some amazing complexity. The residual Sherry and Apera characters have integrated beautifully with the deeper cassia and star anise flavours – think dried fruits and nuts. 

The addition of some Spanish Amontillado Sherry has added some length and sweetness to the final gin. Sip it neat over ice or try it in a Tuxedo.

Los Azulejos Skeleto Anejo Tequila is a hand crafted artisan tequila from the Tequila Valley in the heart of Mexico’s tequila country.  Presented in quality ceramic day of the dead style bottles that are individually hand made and hand painted. The Anejo bottle has the hand made Mariachi style hat (Mariachi is a form of folk music from Mexico and each hat is individual coloured/crafted).

Aged for 18 months in premium French Oak.

Tasting Notes: Oak/vanilla wrestles with the brine/pepper notes for your attention, then the buttery leather notes start to wash through. Touches of lemon verbena/lemon balm. Long lingering finish.

Note: Mariachi hat may come in different colours to the one shown.

750ml | 40%

Four Pillars Chardonnay Barrel Gin is the seventh release from our original Chardonnay barrel solera and has had a full year in barrel. The botanical oils have developed and changed dramatically, whilst still remaining distinctively gin. The juniper base has become more textured, while the spices show developed intensity and fragrance.

As with previous releases the preserved ginger character (thanks to the cardamom) is amazing and sits nicely with crushed coriander and preserved citrus notes. The oak continues to contribute to colour and sweetness, weight and texture. The finish is lovely and dry.

This is a balanced, super sippable drink. Enjoy it neat or on the rocks – it’s delicious over one large ice cube with a drop of honey and a small sprig of rosemary.

Dos Maderas 5+5 PX Rum is an extraordinary rum doubled aged in both the Caribbean and Spain. Dos Maderas, meaning ‘two woods’, is produced by first resting for five years in the Caribbean, then for three more at the Williams & Humbert facilities in casks which have aged “Dos Cortados” (Palo Cortado), Dos Maderas 5+5 PX Rum once finished then undergoes a third stage of ageing in butts which have previously aged “Don Guido” sherry (Pedro Ximénez) for 20 years, thus giving origin to the extraordinary Dos Maderas PX rum. Both “Don Guido“ and “Dos Cortados” have been aged for 20 years as certified by the oldest Denomination of Origin in Spain: that of Jerez-Xérès-Sherry.

The final stage of ageing in casks which have previously aged a Pedro Ximénez sherry such as “Don Guido” gives Dos Maderas PX rum a very dark amber colour and delicate hints of raisins, fig and vanilla which make it very appealing. Given its extremely high quality it is recommended to serve either neat or on the rocks. Dedicated to those who know about rum, it may also be enjoyed in luxury mixers.

Rhum Rhum Liberation 2015 60th Anniversary is bottled at natural strength. This limited edition single cask was selected by Luca Gargano and Gianni Capovilla to celebrate the 60th anniversary of La Maison du Whisky. With a refined classicism in which there is no place for the superfluous, this Rhum Rhum Liberation writes the words: delicate, elegant, refined, silky, light, complex, poetic and dreamlike in gold letters on the frontispiece of the door leading to its aromatic palette whose alleys are strewn with sprays of richly scented flowers.

Profile: Dense, first of all the nose oscillates between the citrus fruit, candied fruit and sugar cane. Exotic (passion), spicy (cinnamon) and floral. With elegance, the palate is consistent with the nose. Notes of red fruits, heady flowers and cane juice.

Extremely limited edition of 288 bottles.

Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 1 and No 2 Rum Set includes both of the limited editions in the first release of the Distillery Collection, showcasing the diverse variety of stills and styles used to create the Diplomatico rum range.

The Batch Kettle Still was brought to Diplomático’s La Miel distillery in 1959. This discontinuous distillation system is originally from Canada, where it was employed for the production of whisky. This system is characterized by a batch distillation, which means that a certain volume of fermented liquid is introduced for distillation and, as this is gradually depleted, it leaves a residue or water, which is drained off to be added to the next batch. This system is controlled by the Maestros Roneros, and is considered a semi-artisanal system.

Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 1 Batch Kettle Rum is matured in American white oak barrels (ex bourbon, ex malt) aged up to 6 years. The blend profile is 100% semi-heavy rums.

The Barbet Column Still was brought to Diplomático’s La Miel distillery in 1959. This continuous distillation system is originally from France. This system consists of two columns: the Aldehyde Column, in which the undesired elements are separated from the rest of the liquid, and the Rectifying Column where only the desired elements are kept. This rectification system is not found in other traditional column systems. It is unique to this design and is what gives the characteristic fruity profile to the distillate obtained.

Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 2 Barbet Rum is aged in American white oak barrels (ex bourbon, ex malt) with ageing up to 4 years. The blend profile is 100% light rums.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum is an exquisite sipping rum that is made from almost all sugar cane honey. The end result is a truly exceptional rum with sweet and fruity flavours to an even higher level of concentration and flavour intensity of its family members.

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum is a blend of 20 percent light column distilled rums with 80 percent complex pot still rums aged up to 12 years, a proportion of which are rums from exceptional barrels which are used in Master Blender Tito Cordero’s secret preparation. Although he won’t reveal the ages of the rums used he has disclosed that he mixes these exceptional rums with a little cane sugar prior to blending with the main body of rums to amplify their flavour so they impart a slight touch of sweetness and a distinctive flavour to the finished rum.

Tasting notes: A characterful nose, showing fruit cake, rum’n’raisin ice cream, cocoa, dried ginger, cinnamon and clove. Develops baked bananas with fudge sauce and chewy toffee notes alongside vanilla oak and a deeper note of syrupy gingerbread, with hints of orange zest. The palate evokes chocolate sauce and the sweet toffee, fudge and tropical fruit flavours from the nose. Flakes of Terry’s Dark Chocolate Orange sprinkled over melted vanilla ice cream. Deep, vivid and extremely seductive flavours.
