A.H. Riise 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal Rum is a very special rum; so special and of such high quality in fact that it once won a gold medal. The rum is a blend from the West Indies and Central America. This is a complete, well-worked rum which can make even the most fastidious rum aficionado smile.
Meaning ‘the original’ in Gaelic, A’bunadh is made in homage to Aberlour’s founder, James Fleming. A’bunadh is a whisky hand-made from start to finish with each batch being created to ensure a rich and complex flavour of moist raisin, and homemade fruit cake. It is bottled at cask strength resulting in a robust and deeply intense, sherried whisky.
Translating as ‘Rare Cask’ in Gaelic, Casg Annamh is created from a limited number of carefully selected casks. These Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry casks/butts have a significant influence on the non-chill filtered liquid and perfectly complement Aberlour’s distillate flavour, bringing sweet and rich notes. Casg Annamh is a distinctively rich Single Malt providing adventurous malt lovers with the ideal introduction to Sherry cask matured whiskies.
The award-winning Bathtub Gin takes a while to perfect, but we think it’s worth it.
First, copper pot-distilled gin is made with juniper, coriander and other fragrant botanicals, but we don’t stop there. Instead, we take a portion of this gin and painstakingly infuse it with a further six fresh botanicals – a process which takes a whole week to do…(which might seem like a lot of effort, but you get out what you put in as they say, and if we want a delicious gin then it needs to be made deliciously!)
Bold, original, creative. Absolut Vodka launched in New York, 1979. Their transparent and label-less bottle, inspired by an 18th Century medicine bottle, stood out from its tall, flashy, competitors. This was 1970s New York, after all. You had to be different to get noticed.
Aroma of sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberries and sweet plums. When they were about to launch Absolut Cherrys, someone said: “Its taste is so great, that you can make a sophisticated drink just by adding one ingredient.” Absolut Cherrys makes a wonderful drink just by adding Cola or Soda. Barbeque starts with Bar, so let’s have one!
Now, was it that Absolut Citron inspired the creation of the Cosmopolitan, one of the world’s best known modern cocktails, that brought it fame? Or that the most influential trend setters started ordering “Cosmo” in the coolest bars and clubs? Or simply that Absolut Citron both enhances a wide selection of drinks and works brilliantly on its own just by adding ice? Honestly, no one is entirely sure, but nevertheless very happy to have Absolut Citron in the limelight of the flavored vodka scene.
A less than subtle bow to their Swedish heritage, they set out to create their own take on a classic Swedish snaps flavor. The result is Absolut Extrakt – a bold and delicious shot combining superb Absolut Vodka with the spiced warm flavor of green cardamom. Ask any Swede what “snaps” means to them and you’ll pretty much hear the same thing back each time… Celebrations!
Blackcurrant. This sweet berry ripens in July – just as Swedes take their well-deserved vacation after having survived yet another long, cold and dark winter. Grown in your typical Swede’s country house backyard and in the wild, black currant is close to our heart for many reasons. This is their tribute to it. Skål!
Thirty years after the “Cosmo” hero Absolut Citron not only stirred but shook the world of mixology, its apprentice was brought to life to the satisfaction of bartenders and drink lovers. Since the launch of Absolut Lime with its natural and not overly-sweet flavor, bartenders and “trytobees” at home have one less thing to think about when trying to impress their guests with that perfectly balanced drink. Cheers to another citrus sibling that brings to both classic and new drinks a unique character and an Absolut twist!
Did you know there are more than 3000 varieties of pear? Some are edible, some are not. Many look like pears, some like apples. Pears are quite unusual in drinks, but unusually satisfying when mixing with Ginger Beer or Soda for instance. Here’s to pears!
Premium vodka, perfect for cocktails. Absolut Raspberri’s rich and intense flavour comes from ripened raspberries harvested in the Swedish hillsides. Its fresh and fruity character mixes well with a wide range of fruit juices and mixers.
Vanilla. This magnificent flavor that can enhance pretty much everything from cookies to… well you name it. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth or the ones that are into experimenting with contrasting flavors. The versatility of vanilla is also true when making drinks – regardless if you’re going for something simple like a Vanilla Espresso Martini, or something as provocative as a Pornstar Martini.
Mandarins. Sweet, easy-to-peel little things. And less of a hassle than oranges. No need to cut them in slices. Or peel them for ages. Or eat them with a napkin and then never get rid of the stickiness, no matter how many times you wash your hands. Absolut Mandrin was a hard one to make, but is ridiculously simple to mix. Just add Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer for a perfect weekend drink.
