Whisky
Jim Beam Old Tub Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
Floral honey, oak and clove open the aroma, sharpened by lemon and orange zest. The palate is warm and full, bringing brown spice, caramel and grain together with a fresh citrus accent, while the unfiltered style gives the texture satisfying presence. Serve neat, with a splash of water or over a large cube; it also has the structure for an Old Fashioned or whiskey sour.
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey
Caramel, vanilla and ripe banana lead a rich aroma, followed by maple sugar candy and seasoned oak. The palate brings intense maple sweetness, toasted marshmallow and caramel over burnt oak, with banana appearing briefly beneath the fuller sugary notes. Spicy heat builds into the finish, where graham cracker, caramel and charred oak remain together through a medium-to-long close.
Rebel 100 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A sweet opening aroma gives way to a fuller, more forceful palate, with caramel and vanilla at the centre. Wheat softens the grain profile, but the higher proof brings clear warmth and definition rather than simple sweetness. The finish turns dry, leaving caramelized sugar, vanilla and gentle spice behind. Serve neat, with a few drops of water or over a large cube; it also has enough structure for an Old Fashioned or a bourbon-forward Manhattan.
Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Orange blossom, apricot and green apple open a bright, grain-led aroma, with almond and gentle spice adding depth. The palate brings lemon, toasted nuts and fresh bread through a creamy texture, balanced by light honeyed sweetness and a quiet herbal edge. A clean, composed finish returns to cereal and citrus. Serve neat or with a small splash of water.
West Cork Original Classic Blend Irish Whiskey
Cinnamon bark and oak open the aroma, joined by ripe nectarine, salted peanut and faint herbal notes. Golden Delicious apple and honey shape the palate, with peppery spice developing alongside the fruit. Apple, honey and oak carry through the middle, supported by the same salty nuttiness. The finish gathers cinnamon, pepper, ripe nectarine and herbs into a clear fruit-and-spice profile.
Kilbeggan Blended Irish Whiskey
Clean citrus and lemon lead the aroma, with honey and barley adding a softly grain-led foundation. The palate is smooth and silky, bringing sweet honey forward before a spicy malt undertone adds definition through the middle. Citrus, honey and barley remain closely joined as the spicy malt continues. The finish is satisfying and distinctly malty, leaving lemon, honey, grain and spice in a measured line.
Cutty Sark Prohibition Blended Scotch Whisky
Rich and robust, this golden blended Scotch opens with ripe citrus, honey and vanilla. The palate is creamy and mouth-coating, bringing toffee, lively pepper and subtle oak spice before a smooth, warming finish. Enjoy neat, with a small splash of water or over a large cube; its weight and spice also make it a confident base for a Rob Roy or whisky highball.
The Liberty Distillery Trust Single Grain Whiskey
Gentle spice and caramel lead the aroma, opening into a rounded palate of warm malt, sweet spice and polished oak. Almond and walnut bring a savoury, nutty layer, while barley grain keeps the middle grounded and full. The texture is generous without feeling heavy. Vanilla and honey emerge on the smooth, persistent finish, leaving soft wood spice and mellow warmth.
The Mikuni Blended Japanese Whisky
Amber and gently full in appearance, with dried-fruit sweetness and a faint smoky accent on the nose. The palate begins youthful and lively, then settles into a rounded, mellow texture built from malt and grain whisky. Subtle oak and a measured spice note add definition through the finish, which lingers lightly on the tongue. Serve neat, over a single cube, or lengthened with chilled soda in a clean highball.
Caol Ila 18 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 200 mL
Smoke from a distant beach bonfire leads the aroma, followed by wet wool, wax and a subtle mineral note. The palate begins smooth and mildly sweet, then turns brisk with acidity, sea salt and peppery peat. Its body is firm without feeling heavy. Char and a faint sour edge carry through the lingering finish, leaving smoke, salt and coastal freshness clearly defined.
Liberty Distillery Trust Whiskey Madeira
On the nose, TRUST Single Cask – Burgundy presents a white chocolate and marzipan character married with robust barley notes. The mid-palate is rich, full and intense with cocoa, caramel and underlying fruit. At 42% alc./vol. the finish has a powerful concentration that is silky smooth and lingers on and on.
Knob Creek Small Batch Rye Whiskey
Dried herbs and rye lead the aroma, with seasoned oak and vanilla giving it depth. The palate is concentrated, bringing rye spice, dried cherry and a touch of cigar tobacco over a firm oak core. Its texture is notably oily without feeling heavy. Char spice and dried fruit return on the finish, joined by vanilla and oak in a warm, steady close.
The Liberty Distillery Trust Ancient Grains Whisky
Floral aromas from khorasan and spelt lead into a concentrated core of warm spice, honey and baked apple. Emmer brings depth and structure, while molasses and caramel add measured richness. A touch of barley introduces a graham-cracker note and helps lengthen the palate. The finish is smooth and persistent, carrying spice, orchard fruit and gentle sweetness in a composed, quietly complex line.
