Bootleg Brewing - 

like your mama used to make (if she was bavarian)

crisp, bright and balanced with a long finish that showcases just how great this style of lager can be.

5.4 ABV.

This unique liqueur is made at the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, combining sugar cane alcohol which is married with lime, almond and cloves. It is the star ingredient in a number of cocktails, most famously in the 'Tiki' style, like the famous Zombie from Donn Beach in the early 1930's.

This single vintage expression from Foursquare was distilled in 2011 and matured for twelve years in a parcel of ex Bourbon casks. There are notes of fragrant citrus oil, molasses treacle, freshly grated ginger and cracked pepper. The white oak shows its influence with notes of creamy vanilla  and coconut.

This is the second release of this Chardonnay, following on from a micro release in 2024. Situated on the chalky hillside of this tiny North Canterbury single vineyard, the Chardonnay vines work hard in the prevailing warm winds. Each task is performed in the vineyard with quality in mind and the work is lovingly done by hand throughout the season. Hand picked at the end of March, whilst the vines were enjoying a prolonged period of dry Autumn weather. Gently whole-bunch pressed, with the new juice going into French oak barrels for a natural fermentation over the following months. Aged for 10 months and bottled without fining.
