SPIRITS & LIQUEURS

This gin is all about Chardonnay, which is combined here with classic and modern gin botanicals. These include juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom, coriander, all beautifully balanced by the big body and weight of Chardonnay, hence the name Blanc de Blancs - white of whites. It?s code for great whites in the wine world and now too in the spirit one.

All the way from Japan's Hokkaido island comes Etsu Gin! This fantastically floral expression features a selection of botanical from Japan, including tea leaves and yuzu.

NOSE : Floral & vegetal, notes of citrus fruits with yuzu persistent.
PALATE : Fresh and well-balanced, peppers with hints of green teas and berries.

The Cotswolds Distillery in Stourton is up and running - hooray! This is their Cotswolds Dry Gin, made with juniper, coriander and angelica root macerated in their pure wheat spirit for 24 hours. Following this, they add a botanical selection including bay leaf, grapefruit, lime, black pepper, cardamom seed and Cotswolds lavender to their carter head still for distillation. To bring it down to bottling strength, a robust 46% ABV, they use naturally refined Cotswolds water.

Nose: Light, floral juniper blends well with the Cotswolds lavender. This soon gives way to the vibrant grapefruit peel and warming cardamom.

Palate: Opening with grapefruit, fresh juniper and black pepper, followed by herbaceous notes of bay leaf, coriander and angelica. More lavender brings a bright, delicate character to the full-bodied gin.

Finish: Refreshingly clean on the palate, with lime and bay leaf.

Made with 100% handpicked agave and well water from 140 meters deep, creating a bold spirit full of mineral and earthy flavors and rich agave aroma and taste.

"Heaven Hill Bourbon Aged Gin: A weighty gin reminiscent of the citrusy burst of key lime pie, with a delicious oakiness."

It is a blending of Calvados aged a minimum of 15 years. In fact, it contains percentages of older Calvados that gives it all its nobleness.

It lets in the mouth a subtle taste of apple that gradually gives way to the refined alliances of the tannin of old Calvados. It is perfect harmony between the apple and the wood, with underlying aromas. The Calvados of all the nice moments.

About Fenton Street Distillery

Fenton Street Gin is crafted in Stratford at an elevation of 310m/1017 feet. They capture Botanics at altitude. Their botanics are not distilled separately then blended. To ensure flavours are balanced they are carefully measured in much the same way as a chef creates a dish.

Due to the freshness and volume of the botanicals, some of the Fenton Street gins may appear cloudy when tonic is added or sipped on ice. This is because their gins are non-chill filtered. Stuart Greenhill, head distiller said: ?We don?t want to chill-filter. The whole point of our gin is to capture flavours from carefully selected and measured botanics. It seems unproductive to distil in what is essentially a neutral flavoured spirit and then filter out the natural oils again.?

The Artist: Five Botanics slot alongside Horopito and ginger to produce a spicy yet beautifully balanced gin. A favourite of those with a mature palette, fondness for whisky or seek a unique New Zealand Gin. 

Botanics: Juniper, Coriander, Cassia Bark, Nutmeg, Ginger, Horopito, Pepper, Kawakawa
