Inniskillin Gold Vidal Ice Wine 2013
‘Rich, very sweet… and with honeyed tropical fruit flavours’, this is also a rare example of an oak-aged ice wine said our tasters. It was also a Gold medal winner in the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards.
Jura seven wood whisky
Jura whisky
As the name suggests, this single malt Scotch from the island of the same name is matured in seven different types of oak, including first-fill American oak and several different types of French; Vosges, Bertranges, Jupilles, Allier, Tronçais & Limousin barrels, to be exact. It also follows a recent trend for Scotch distillers to move away from age statements on bottles with new ranges.
Graham’s Fine White Port
Graham’s white Port
A white Port and tonic needs to be your new summer cocktail, so here’s an opportunity to stock up on this one from Graham’s, which our Decanter tasting team said has ‘Flavours of tangy lime, salt, cream, almond and grapefruit.’
No. 3 London dry gin, 70cl
No 3 London dry gin.
No. 3 London dry gin, made by long-standing wine merchant Berry Bros & Rudd, is full of aromas of juniper, orange peel, grapefruit and Angelica root.
Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, 70cl
Redbreast whiskey
A triple distilled, single pot still Irish whiskey produced by Irish Distillers, aka Pernod Ricard, which is known for a somewhat spicy kick. The 21-year-old version came second in the latest edition of Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible – against global competition – so this could be an interesting opportunity to get a feel for the house style.
Blackdown Sussex Bianco Vermouth, 70cl
Blackdown Vermouth
One of the first white Vermouths from England, something that is itself a testament to this category’s revitalisation within the craft drinks market. One that might be of interest to lovers of dry Martini cocktails. Read about other kinds of Vermouth.
