Laphroaig 25Yrs
It’s aged for a quarter century in a combination of large Oloroso sherry butts and ex-Bourbon barrels, proving that good things are worth the wait. This mellow single malt Scotch has the distinctive flavour of Laphroaig — peat smoke with a medicinal edge — met by creamy vanilla flavours from American oak and spiced apple from the sherry casks.
700ml $699.99
Royal Dragon Vodka
Royal Dragon is a unique vodka combining the best ingredients from around the world. Royal Dragon is the ultimate expression of superior vodka. A small batch vodka exclusively distilled with a Russian formula and the finest winter rye; five times distilled using a centuries old copper pot still. The ultimate quality vodka for the ultimate discerning taste experience.
3 Litre $599.99
Appleton Estate Joy 25Yrs
As we talked about last month, I’ve been fortunate to spend time with Joy Spence, master blender for Appleton Estate rum. This is a celebration of her 20 years as master blender. One of the world’s finest rums with clove, espresso and cinnamon notes and a sugary Demerara sweetness.
700ml $399.99
Johnnie Walker XR 21Yrs
This incredible whisky blend is taken from the notes of original blender Sir Alexander Walker II himself. The nose is spiced apple, smoky oak with a citrus and oak palate. A smooth amber whisky for those special times.
700ml $179.99
Glenfiddich Winter Storm 21Yrs
From the frozen north of Canada, near Niagara, a special blend of unique whisky made by master blender, Brian Kinsman. The taste is a perfect combination of both pioneering liquids used; the heightened candied sweetness and oakiness of Glenfiddich are complemented by mouth-watering tropical fruit notes and a luscious sweetness from the unique ice wine cask finish.
