Expertly blended with spice and natural flavours, my Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is the figurehead of my ship.

A secret recipe of adventurous spice & natural flavours that are expertly blended with fine Caribbean rum – then aged in charred white oak barrels to create a taste and colour as rich as a pocketful of gold doubloons. For a smooth and refreshing tasting drink, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is best served in a tankard over ice, with cola and a slice of lime.

Tasting Notes: Notes of rich natural vanilla, brown sugar, dried fruit, warming spices with hints of oak, come together to create a perfectly balanced spirit with a smooth finish.

Colour: Rich and brilliant - see-through amber, but with a flame orangeglint that tells of the warmth to come.

Bouquet: Full, yet delicate; well-rounded; possessing a distinctive caramelaroma of the charred oak with a hint of vanilla; pleasant and inviting.

Taste: Rich in flavor, yet soft on the palate. A subtle level of sweetness thatreflects the marriage of grain and oak. Distinctive and complex, yet possessthe balance found in a well crafted malt or cognac.

Nose - A thick coating of peat isn't enough to cover a soft, oaky background. Iodine appears alongside a pear-fruity sweetness. Delicate for a whisky so big.

Palate - Continuous gentle waves of dry peat lap upon the taste buds but are balanced by a sweet malt middle and the most hesitant of vanillas. 

Finish - Long and peaty, the shy vanilla now begins to show as the oak adds a certain dryness. Comment A gentle giant.

Created in honor of Reefton Legend Little Biddy, a pipe-smoking, Gin-toting, 4-foot tall gold prospector.  Our search for native botanicals takes us deep into the same West Coast rainforest where Biddy once fossicked for gold, to craft a uniquely New Zealand selection of small batch distilled gins with attitude.  

Like its namesake, Little Biddy Botanical Dry Gin, is robust and hardworking with a striking aromatic bite.  Native Toatoa endures the harshest winter conditions without losing its fresh, vibrant tannic character.  Blended with elusive Tarata, Horopito, Rimu, and majestic Douglas fir, this is a versatile and easy drinking gin with a complex palette of spiced citrus and warm resin.

Grant's scotch is a classic, well balanced blended whisky.

At Dalwhinnie, clear worts and long ferments create a starting point form which one might expect a light floral whisky. However, the stills are run in such a way as to minimise the conversation between malt and copper, and when this is combined with the use of worm tubs to condense, the result is a heavy and somewhat sulphurous malt. After fifteen years in cask though, this is combined into the whisky, and the thick honeyed and almost sticky quality that Dalwhinnie is so famous for, shines through.

Nose: Aromatic, toffee, fruit salad, lush nectarine, custard. Floral, apple blossom, honeysuckle. Apple peels, pear, touch of smoke.

Palate: Malty. Walnuts steeped in manuka honey with vanilla sponge. Gentle smoke weaves its way through the cereal with a touch of spice.

Finish: Long, malty, walnut, almond.

The genius distillers at Lighthouse Gin have created a unique New Zealand take on the classic London Dry Gin style. They've chosen ?a few interesting native botanicals including Kawakawa, along with fresh New Zealand Yen Ben lemon and Navel Orange zest.

ABSOLUT VODKA was first launched in New York in 1979. It soon becametalk of the town, the US and eventually of the world. But the recipebehind the pure and natural taste of ABSOLUT is actually older than 30years. So is the 18th-century medicine flask found in an antique store in Stockholm that gave inspiration to the iconic ABSOLUT VODKA bottle.

Scapegrace Black Gin is only possible because nature itself led the way through an infinite maze of botanicals and technique. A maze with only one exit. Aronia Berry, Saffron, Pineapple, Butterfly Pea and Sweet Potato. Blended in set amounts at precise temperatures in a defined sequence, to create something made of nothing, and nothing made of something. This is that flavor. This is the taste of Black.

The colour is naturally black thanks to a unique collection of natural extracts including aronia berry, saffron, pineapple, butterfly pea, sweet potato and a collection of natural botanicals sourced from local plants, flowers and berries.

Southward Distilling Co. - There is a place where adventure starts.  This wild place is the inspiration for our distillery.  Made up of garden grown, wild and traditional botanicals. We are a modern take on distilling inspired by the wild beauty of New Zealand.

Taking it’s inspiration from the ocean, our Wave gin is our take on a more classic style of gin. We wanted to balance our bold Mountain gin with something that gives a nod to what you may be familiar with in a gin.

At a slightly higher proof of 47% to still maintain a boldness in cocktails, we use sugar kelp to give this gin a touch of sweetness, while being balanced with rose, subtle citrus and liquorice root. The Wave is versatile gin for all your cocktails and great for classic gin lovers.

Made in Wellington, New Zealand.

Hayman's - Unlike other LONDON DRY GINS available today, our is distilled by hand to a 150 year old Family recipe using a tradtional two-day process.  The gentle process creates a classically balanced Gin bursting with fresh Juniper, bright Citrus and a subtle warming spice.  It takes a little longer but we believe it is worth it.

Thanks to a longer aging, in small barrels, ST REMY Authentic French Brandy VSOP acquires a magnificent amber color with golden highlights.

Bouquet: The blend of the fruitiness and the acid drop of the eau-de-vie reveal notes of cherries and raspberries with touches of vanilla and oak. 

Taste: A very complex brandy thanks to the richness of the distillates from the French vineyards. First strong and dry, then rounded with a fine complexity. Red fruits aromas, vanilla and woody notes. Suave and well balanced.
