Meukow VSOP Red Edition Cognac
Candied orange, apple and plum rise with rose and polished wood spice. The palate is broad and smooth, moving from fruit sweetness into leather, liquorice and dark coffee. Vanilla softens the structure without obscuring the brandy’s dry edge. The finish is intense but controlled, leaving coffee, bitter cocoa, orange peel and warm spice. Serve neat or with a single large cube.
Delamain Pale & Dry XO Cognac
Vanilla, apricot and passion fruit rise first, followed by orange zest and a gentle almond note. The palate is finely textured and bright, with ripe fruit balanced by measured oak and warming spice. Ginger gives the middle a clean lift while citrus oil keeps the richness precise. The finish is persistent and composed, carrying candied orange, almond, vanilla and quiet spice.
Hennessy V.S.O.P Cognac
Fresh apricot opens with vanilla and a polished touch of mellow oak. The palate is rounded and supple, with soft fruit sweetness framed by warm spice and a quiet toasted note. The texture remains smooth and composed rather than heavy. The finish is persistent and gently warming, leaving apricot, vanilla, fine spice and seasoned wood in balance.
Hendrick’s Dry Gin
Cucumber and rose give the aroma its distinctive freshness, with citrus, juniper, chamomile and elderflower adding detail. The palate is smooth and dry, balancing cool botanical lift with a measured herbal core. Citrus keeps the middle bright while the florals remain controlled rather than perfumed. The finish is clean and composed, carrying cucumber, juniper and a light floral note in an even line.
Le Gin de Christian Drouin
Fresh apple and juniper give the aroma an immediate lift, followed by rose, lemon peel and a fine thread of ginger. The palate is smooth and rounded, layering vanilla, cinnamon, almond and cardamom over bright orchard fruit. Floral citrus keeps the spice precise rather than heavy. The finish is clean and gently warming, with apple, juniper and sweet spice returning in an elegant, aromatic line.
Sipsmith London Dry Gin
Floral meadow notes open the aroma, followed by rounded juniper and bright citrus. Dry juniper leads the palate before lemon tart and orange marmalade emerge, bringing a rich, complex citrus line through the middle. The flavours settle into a smooth, balanced and aromatic profile without losing their classic dry shape. The finish returns to spicy juniper, with dryness at the centre and a final hint of lemon tart.
Odd Society Wallflower Gin
Resurrection Spirits Dry Gin
Rye grain gives the aroma a distinctive, gently spicy foundation, lifted by classic juniper, West Coast pine and pointed lemon. The palate is bold yet balanced, with juniper and pine bringing dry botanical structure while a soft rose note adds measured floral detail. Sweet lemon keeps the middle bright. The finish is clean and aromatic, leaving rye spice, evergreen freshness, rose and citrus with steady persistence.
