Zuidams Framboise Liqueur
$45.99
Framboise/raspberry liqueur from Millstone Zuidam distillery. Fantastic stuff! 24% ABV.
From The Producer
"The berries are crushed and extracted with pure grain spirit. This process takes more than a month before all the delicate flavours are dissolved in the alcohol. After this extraction period the pulp that is left of the raspberries is separated from the extract. The pulp is gently pressed in a traditional wooden press. The final result of all this manual labour is a deep red extract that contains all the flavours and aroma’s from the fruit. Now we only add pure sugar and that is all that is needed to produce this wonderful fresh Framboise Liqueur with its refined and delicate raspberry flavour.
This liqueur can be enjoyed neat or over ice. Also worth trying is using it in cocktails and long drinks (with some bitter lemon) or simply with some decent white or sparkling wine. Another suggestion is to try it over simple vanilla ice cream to turn it into a special desert.
Our liqueurs contain no added fragrances, colors and flavors."
Beefeater Pink

"Beefeater Pink Strawberry is the vibrant new Pink Gin made using the original Beefeater London Dry Recipe with the addition of Natural Strawberry flavouring to give it a vibrant and delicious strawberry taste."

Scapegrace Classic Gin
$56.99
Scapegrace is the spawn of a New Zealand guy and his brother in law, birthed over drinks and hopes. This tight-knit, dry gin is made with 12 different botanicals including cardamon, nutmeg, clove, licorice and cinnamon. The delicate flavours and dry body make it perfect for martinis, and tonics.
Scapegrace Gold Gin 57%
$71.99
The Gold is bold. Taking the regular Scapegrace gin's style and mix of 12 botanicals but then turns it up a notch by adding orange peels and bottling it all at the much higher strength of 57% ABV.
Balblair 18 Year
$189.99
This bottle was featured in mini form on Day 20 of our 2020 KWM Whisky Calendar.
50ml Mini bottles can be found here.
Part of the new core range from Balblair Distillery, which focuses on age statement rather than vintages. Bottled at 46% after maturing in ex-Bourbon and finishing in First Fill ex-Sherry Seasoned Spanish Oak Butts. Bottled at 46%, unchillfiltred with no colouring added.
Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Apple turnover, honey glazed donuts, pears, Mounds bars, fresh coffee beans, and Ovaltine.
Palate: Cinnamon cake doughnuts, raisin and nut shortbread cookies, apples and pears, more honey, lemon-ginger tea, and Werther’s Originals.
Finish: A touch of spice plus soft apples, honey and toffee and a touch of shortbread.
Comment: This is a very well put together 18 Year Single Malt Scotch. Many will miss the vintage releases of Balblair, but having a bottle like this to come back to time and time again might just be worth the tradeoff.
Producer Tasting Note
Aroma: Rich toffee and baked pears shine bright against an elegant backdrop of new leather.
Palate: A masterful balance of juicy apricots, seasoned oak and vanilla custard.
Finish: Long and warming with chords of fresh spices and raisins.
Foradori Morei Cilindrica
$74.99
At the age of just 20, Elisabetta Foradori (above) found herself in charge of the family winery, based in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in Trentino, way back in 1984. It’s been quite a journey for her, and over time she has moved in a more natural direction, looking to get the ultimate expression of the place and the main variety here, Teroldego. In pursuit of this expression, she converted to biodynamics in 2002, and was certfied in 2009. There are 28 hectares of vines here, with three-quarters of this Teroldego (they did a mass selection and so now have 15 different clones, plus grew some from seeds), plus Manzoni Bianco (a cross of Pinot Blanc and Riesling), Nosiola and Pinot Grigio, with production around 150 000 bottles a year. These vineyards are surrounded by mountains, and there are two main soil types: calcareous clay and alluvial. While many in the region grow on a high-yielding pergola system, most of her vines are vertically trellised. Since 2012, Emilio, one of her four children, has worked with her, and she has gradually taken a more natural direction. Part of this direction is a move towards using clay. Elevage is in a mix of large wood (oak and acacia), and increasingly these clay amphorae (tinajas from Spain, which are unlined). Jamie Goode
