Other Spirits
Domaine des Tourelles Arak Brun 5 Year Special Reserve
Anise and liquorice lead a clear, intensely aromatic nose, supported by subtle grape fruit and dry herbal notes. The palate is smooth and concentrated, with five years in clay jars giving the spirit a rounded, settled texture without muting its fresh anise character. A gentle fruitiness emerges through the middle before a long, clean finish. Pour neat, then add ice-cold water to soften the strength and release the aromatic oils.
Martell Blue Swift Spirit
Banana and caramelized pear lead a generous, fruit-forward aroma, followed by vanilla, coconut and warm spice. The palate is full and smooth, with ginger and candied fruit giving lift to the sweeter notes. Toasted oak brings structure and a gently warming edge to the long finish. Serve neat, over a large cube, or in a spirit-forward cocktail.
Casey Jones Distillery Barrel Cut Double Barrel Kentucky Specialty Spirit
Sweet corn and caramel lead a full, rounded palate, followed by tobacco, warm spice and a pronounced oak character. A second layer of smoky, woodsy flavour adds depth without obscuring the spirit’s underlying sweetness. The texture is smooth but substantial, carrying vanilla and toasted wood into a lingering, gently warming finish. Serve neat, over a large cube or with a splash of water.
Macaloney’s Peated Mac Na Bràiche Single Malt Spirit
Medium peat smoke and wood ash open the aroma, joined by heather, lemongrass and warm baking spice. The palate is creamy and smooth, with waves of smoke framing tropical fruit and juicy malt. Floral nectar, coconut and a light saline note add contrast before a dry malt sweetness emerges. The finish is long, smoky and gently warming. Serve neat.
Macaloney’s Caledonian Mac Na Bràiche Single Malt Spirit
Ripe red berries and tropical fruit lead a generous aroma, followed by toffee, toasted oak and warm wood spice. The palate is smooth and creamy, layering fruitcake, honey and citrus over juicy malt. Dark chocolate and a faint saline note bring definition before a long, oak-led finish. Serve neat, allowing a few minutes in the glass before adding water.
Yoowe Bacanora
Green pepper and olive lead a vivid, savoury aroma, joined by sage, mineral notes and a light sea-breeze freshness. The palate is weighty yet fluid, opening with warm agave sweetness before pickled jalapeño and earthy smoke bring contrast. The texture remains polished despite the intensity. The finish is long, herbal and gently smoky. Serve neat in a small glass with grilled vegetables, citrus-dressed seafood or roasted nuts.
Kirishima Melt Barley Spirit
Toasted grain and banana bread open a warm, inviting aroma, followed by caramel and soft vanilla. The palate is smooth and rounded, with barley sweetness moving into tropical fruit, gentle oak and a dry woody edge. A lightly floral lift keeps the richness composed, while the finish is mellow and clean. Serve neat or over a single large cube.
