After 10 years of making whisky, Kavalan master blender Ian Chang wanted to try his hand at creating a gin. Staying true to the standard botanicals of juniper, aniseed and coriander, Chang also included a taste of Yilan?Kavalan's home? with kumquat peel, dried star fruit and red-flesh guava botanical extracts. The gin is double charcoal-filtered, triple distilled and bottled at 40% ABV.

Kavalan Gin opens up on very nutty and rooty notes, with angelica, almond, hazelnut paste, before juniper and aniseed get any say. It is chocolate-y almost. The palate makes way for a whisper of vanilla and honeysuckle, and it is slightly resinous with notes of kumquat and other citrus

Made in small batches using only the heart of the Tequila distillate. Arette does not allow the heads and tails to re-enter the distillation process creating a smooth, cool, pleasant and sophisticated style. You can taste the difference.

Pale amber brown in color. Citrus scented with hints of dried grass and exotic fruits. Aromas of almonds, walnuts and vanilla lead to a distinctive finish with hints of black pepper. A very smooth, elegant and com­ plex Anejo.

Aged for a minimum of 20 months.

Made by hand and using some of Taylor's original methods, this small batch bourbon whiskey has been aged inside warehouses constructed by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr over a century ago.  Barrels were routinely evaluated to identify those with the richest and most complex flavours.  A small batch of these select barrels was then blended together to deliver a distinctive character that is like no other.  It is a true sipping bourbon that honors the uncompromising Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr 

Mirabelle (plum) Eau-de-Vie from the Massenez distillery stands out for its typicality, concentration, and balance.
In this eau-de-vie is easily found a note of almond, typical of stone fruits.
Its very fruity and persistent scent is a real invitation to tasting.

Created in 1912 by Edouard Martell, the bottle became a legend in the world of Cognac as middle range Cognac. A gentle giant. The Cognac's taste is dominated by eaux-de-vie from the Borderies area.

Tasting notes:

The color: Amber-bronze color
On the nose: Elegant aromas and flavours of cinnamon, flowers and wooden floral. Prune like, a bit of sweetness.
The taste: A rich yet supple entry, very round some sense of vanilla, spice and citrus peel. Dense dried fruit, nut, sweet spice, chocolate, deep copper chestnut aromas and some roasted nuts. The finish: a warm finish, some leather. Really solid.
