Selection
Cordero di Montezemolo Grappa di Barolo
Toasted hazelnut and vanilla rise from a deep amber spirit, joined by caramel, dried rose and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied and silky, carrying pronounced nutty richness through gentle wood and a rounded, warming texture. Four years in small casks give the flavours depth and polish. The finish is persistent and elegant, leaving hazelnut, vanilla, spice and integrated oak.
Craigellachie 33 Year Old Limited Release Small Batch
Layered and assertive, with raisins, apples, banana and pineapple set against leather, mineral notes and a lightly savoury edge. The palate brings caramel, oatmeal and ripe stone fruit, while mint and clove provide freshness through the rich middle. Its texture is substantial without becoming heavy, and the mature character remains lively rather than overly woody. The finish is long and intense, lingering on dried fruit, cool spice and mineral depth.
Crown Royal Fine De Luxe Canadian Whisky
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.
DEVINE Glen Saanich Single Malt Whisky
Sweet grain and malt lead with ripe pear, mild vanilla and a quiet floral lift. The palate develops cinnamon, clove and citrus bitterness, warmed by spice but softened by caramel and toasted grain. A faint coastal note brings freshness to the richer malt character. The finish is lingering and clean, leaving toasted bread, roasted malt, pear skin and a final trace of sea air.
Domaine de Joy XO 10 Year Old Bas-Armagnac
Vanilla and white flowers rise first, followed by caramel and polished oak. The palate is soft and balanced, with rounded sweetness framed by gentle wood spice and a supple texture. New Gascon and Limousin oak bring both character and elegance. The finish is long and composed, leaving vanilla, caramel, flowers and a clean echo of oak.
Douglas Laing Old Particular Glen Grant 20 Year Old Single Cask Scotch Whisky
Elegant and quietly expressive, with lime, vanilla and honey opening over sweet malt and a restrained touch of oak. The palate is smooth and balanced, carrying citrus and light spice through a rounded cereal core. Mature wood stays in the background rather than dominating. The finish is medium to long, leaving vanilla, lime, gentle sweetness and seasoned oak in calm proportion.
Douglas Laing’s Rock Oyster Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Sea spray and light peat smoke lead with green apple, barley and honey. The palate is maritime and gently oily, layering salt, black pepper and mint over sweet cereal and a mineral edge. Ash and charcoal bring depth without overwhelming the malt. The finish is layered and warming, leaving smoke, pepper, coastal salinity and a final touch of sweetness.
Drinks by the Dram Regions of Scotland Whisky Tasting Set 5 x 30 mL
Five individually sealed samples move across contrasting Scotch traditions, from peaty and maritime to fruity, malty, floral and honeyed. The compact format makes it possible to compare aroma, texture and finish side by side without committing to full bottles. Expect smoke, orchard fruit, soft flowers, malt and cask spice to emerge in different proportions across the selection.
Drouet et Fils Paradis de Famille Grande Champagne Cognac
Dark copper in colour, with an aromatic bouquet of rancio, ripe plum and citrus over cedar, cigar box and tobacco. Cinnamon and polished wood bring warm spice without obscuring the fruit. The palate is powerful but notably mellow, with a velvety texture and quiet liquorice depth. The finish is enduring and composed, carrying candied fruit, tobacco and seasoned oak.
El Tequileño Reposado Tequila
Sweet agave and vanilla lead the aroma. Cooked agave anchors the palate, with oak developing through the middle after three months of rest in American barrels. The agave character remains at the centre as vanilla and oak come together around it. A dry finish closes the profile, carrying cooked agave, vanilla and a measured trace of American oak.
Elena Italian Gin
Juniper sets a clear, aromatic lead, joined by fresh citrus peel, alpine herbs and delicate floral notes. The palate is rich and silky, with almond, thyme, mint and chamomile adding layered detail around the core of juniper. Chinotto and citron bring a lightly bitter lift, while angelica and warm spice shape a persistent, herb-led finish that feels polished rather than heavy.
