Liberty Distillery Endeavour Pink Gin
A compelling complex gin with rose and citrus notes. A variety of wild hip rosehips are combined with a juniper base to produce a stunning all-natural Pink Gin.
On the nose, Endeavour Pink presents delicate notes of floral rose and framboise. Traditional gin botanicals of juniper, coriander and citrus peel follow, and finishes with an intriguing hint of star anise.
On the palate, this is a forthright gin. It pushes the botanicals forward leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Powerful, yet easy to drink on its own; when blended it creates a bright, refreshing cocktail. Its beautiful vibrant pink colour will charm all, and at extra strength will excite gin enthusiasts everywhere. 47% alc./vol.
Rust en Vrede Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Arbutus Distillery Baba Yaga Absinthe
According to Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga, an ogress who steals, cooks, and eats her victims who are usually children, is a guardian of the fountains of the water of life. She lives with two or three sisters (all known as Baba Yaga) in a forest hut that spins continually on birds' legs. This spirit is inspired by Baba's tale.
Baba Yaga Genuine Absinthe is distilled traditionally with grand wormwood, anise, fennel, lemon balm, and mint. Blended to 60%Abv, the finished spirit is then rested and steeped in more herbs and botanicals yielding it's natural green chartreuse like colour. Baba Yaga Absinthe is naturally coloured and therefore a natural chlorophyll precipitate may occur in bottle over time.
Prepare by pouring over ice or blending drop by drop slowly with ice cold water to release its herbal oils and develop an opal cloud or "louche". Find prominent sweet black licorice, with herbal notes alongside light citrus and mint.
