The Legendary Silkie Blended Irish Whiskey 0,7L 46%
The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey 0.7L 46% The myth lives on Like many whiskeys, rums, gins, etc., there is often something profound behind the name of the product. Be it a story about old sailors, tales from war or mythology. The Silkie blended Irish Whisky also uses one of these exciting creatures from old Irish or Scottish folklore. This great blended Irish whiskey is supposed to remind you of a mythological creature with its name and its 'irresistible' taste. According to stories, it lives in the water and resembles a seal there, but on land it transforms into 'irresistible' human-like creatures. 'Irresistible' is also the taste of this blended Irish whiskey, which was distilled and bottled for the Sliabh Liag Distillery - Donegal - Ireland. This is how a whiskey was designed that presents notes of fresh fruit on the nose. These include apricot and white grapes. Malt and honey as well as a floral note ensure a fresh whiskey. On the palate, this fruity part is accompanied by honey or syrup wafers, a little violet and a note reminiscent of perfume. The finish is rather short, a slightly bitter note with oak aroma comes through.

Smirnoff Vodka Red Label 1,0L 37,5%
Smirnoff Vodka Red Label 1,0L 37,5%
Smirnoff Vodka Red Label 1.0L 37.5% The history of Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is now the best-selling vodka in the world. Last year alone, over 26 million 9-liter crates of Smirnoff Vodka were sold. However, the Smirnoff Vodka brand has come a long way and was at one point on the verge of closure. We would like to tell you briefly how Smirnoff Vodka Red Label nevertheless managed to become the most popular vodka ever. The history of Smirnoff Vodka begins in 1818 when Ivan Smirnov registered the company "IA Smirnov & Family" in Moscow. Smirnov began producing vodka in a dilapidated building that had recently been destroyed in the war against Napoleon. Under his great-nephew Pyotr Arsenevich, a passionate distiller, the distillery finally experienced a decisive upturn. Pyotr Arsenevich completely rebuilt the distillery and finally presented the completely revamped Smirnov Vodka at a trade fair in Nizhny Novgorod in 1886, where he advertised his trade fair stand with a live bear. This bear also fascinated the then Tsar Alexander III, who then tried the Smirnov Vodka and started talking to Pyotr Arsenevich. A little later he appointed Smirnov as the exclusive supplier to the Tsar's court. The noble courts in Sweden and Spain followed and the Smirnovs became one of the most successful and richest entrepreneurs in Russia. However, all the effort and success was in vain, as in 1917, during the October Revolution, all private companies were expropriated (many Smirnov family members later died completely penniless). Only Vladimir Smirnov managed to build another small distillery near Paris. In Paris, he finally sold the secret recipe for Smirnov Vodka and the production license for the USA to his former grain merchant Rudolph Kunett. Kunett tried to establish Smirnov Vodka in the USA as Smirnoff Vodka, but was not very successful. A few years later, Kunett sold Smirnoff Vodka for $14,000 to wine and spirits merchant John G. Martin. Martin also had little success with Smirnoff Vodka in the first few years, but in the 1950s, together with his friend Jack Martin, he invented the "Moscow Mule" cocktail, which became a best-seller. This meant that Smirnoff Vodka finally achieved the breakthrough it had hoped for in the USA and a sales boom began which has continued to this day. The production of Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is a vodka based on the American model. This means that it is produced to be as tasteless and odorless as possible. This is achieved with Smirnoff Vodka Red Label through triple distillation, whereby the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is distilled to over 90% vol. Any unwanted flavors are then removed from the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label through multiple, state-of-the-art filtration processes and it is diluted with spring water to 37.5% vol. diluted. The taste of the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Writing about the taste of an American vodka, such as the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label, is always a somewhat tedious topic. The representatives of this vodka category simply taste too neutral. The Smirnoff Vodka Red Label has all the characteristics of purity, mildness and lightness. Furthermore, the overall very mild and light Smirnoff Vodka Red Label shows a slight residual sweetness in the aftertaste. Its neutrality makes the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label the ideal vodka for high-quality cocktails and spirits!

Fernando de Castilla Classic Sherry Premium Cream
Fernando de Castilla Sherry Premium Cream, 0,75 L, 17%
Fernando de Castilla Sherry Premium Cream 0.75L 17% For over 150 years, the Bodega Rey Fernando de Castilla has been famous for its high-quality sherry and brandy. Founded in 1837, the estate is located in the old town of the legendary Andalusian city of Jerez de la Frontera. Not only has wine been produced here for over 3,000 years, but the city is also considered the birthplace of the world-famous sherry. The anglicized form of the city's name is said to have given the sherry its name.Cream sherry is a special specialty that, after Pedro Ximenez sherry, is the sweetest and darkest type of sherry on the market. Cream sherry was created for the English market at the end of the 18th century by Harveys in Bristol. At that time, the English preferred very sweet products (such as sweet champagne) and gratefully accepted cream sherry. To make cream sherry, rich Oloroso sherry is combined with sweet wine made from Pedro Ximénez grapes.The result of this marriage is a mahogany-colored cream sherry with intense nut, fig and orange aromas. It fills the entire mouth with velvety flavors and warms you from the inside. Combined with chocolates, it makes a great digestif!

Red Bonny Dark Rum 0,7L 40%
Red Bonny Dark Rum 0,7L 40%
Red Bonny Dark Rum 0.7L 40% Red Bonny Red Bonny Dark Rum tells the story of a red-haired Irish woman known by the real name Anne Cormac. She and her father emigrated to North Carolina in 1705, where Anne proved herself to be a good catch among the men. However, her temperament was even fieryer than her red hair and so the men did not have an easy time with her. In the end she was able to choose one, the pirate James Bonney, with whom she eloped against her father's wishes. He took Anne to New Providence in the Bahamas where her life as a real pirate began. So Anne crossed the oceans as an equal alongside other great pirates in the 18th century. She led an extraordinary life, sailing through the Caribbean with Captain Jack "Calico Jack" Rackhan, plundering, fighting her way through and drinking. She hid in Jamaica and Cuba before her final wish was granted and she was able to escape to South Carolina one last time, where she lived out her days in peace. However, it is said that she was never able to free herself from the call of the sea and the lure of the tides. Red Bonny Dark Rum It is a Demerara rum and a blend of different rums, all of which have been matured in Guyana and are at least 3 years old. What sets this relatively young rum apart from others of the same age? In the glass you can already see a relatively dark rum, almost mahogany in color. The nose is already convincing with an expressive rum with strong, sweet molasses notes combined with dark chocolate and a subtle liquorice note. We also have a special recommendation for you to enjoy Red Bonny Dark Rum: For a Red & Bonny, try the rum with ginger beer and freshly squeezed lime juice, preferably on the rocks of course!

Plantation Rum 3 Stars White
Plantation Rum 3 Stars White, 0,7 L, 41,2%
Plantation Rum 3 Stars White 0.7L 41.2% The story of Plantation Rum 3 Stars White Plantation Rum 3 Stars White is no ordinary rum. Unlike many other rums, the story of Plantation Rum 3 Stars White does not begin in the Caribbean, but in the Cognac region. This is where the cognac producer "Cognac Ferrand" operates, whose owner and cellar master Alexandre Gabriel has had excellent relationships with numerous rum distilleries in the Caribbean for many years. They buy the used cognac barrels to refine their rum in. Because of this business relationship, M Gabriel is often in the Caribbean and has the opportunity to try many different rums there. After a while he noticed that many rum distilleries store old barrels in their cellars that were intended for private use or for refining industrially produced rum. Alexandre Gabriel was so impressed by the quality of these special barrels that he decided to bring them onto the market. Through his negotiating skills, he finally managed to import some barrels and skilfully blend them. The Plantation series was born! The Plantation Rum 3 Stars White Plantation Rum 3 Stars White is a cuvée of various rums from Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. The rums used for the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White are up to 12 years old and are carbon-filtered, which causes them to lose the color they acquired through storage in barrels. When blending the rums for the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White, Alexandre Gabriel can look back on his many years of experience as a Cognac Master Blender. In the Cognac region, only the best distillates have been blended together for centuries, which means that a particularly large wealth of experience can be drawn upon here. The taste of the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White The Plantation Rum 3 Stars White skilfully combines the typical characteristics of the three rum-producing countries Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad. The elegance and sophistication of the Trinidad rums combines perfectly with the floral and fruity aromas of the rums from Barbados, as well as the rich exotic notes of the Jamaican rums. In the bouquet, the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White shows delicate notes of tropical fruits and present hints of ripe bananas and brown sugar. On the palate, the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White is very balanced and spicy with numerous floral notes. In the aftertaste, the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White again shows fine notes of sugar cane and vanilla. The Plantation Rum 3 Stars White is a white rum with a lot of character that is ideal for cocktails. Numerous international awards and the response in the global bar scene attest to the quality of the Plantation Rum 3 Stars White!

Warninks Advocaat 0,7L 17,2%
Warninks Eggnog 0,7L 17,2%
Warninks Advocaat (egg liqueur) 0.7L 17.2% History and production of Warninks Advocaat: The history of Advocaat (some spellings also include Advokaat) begins in the 17th century. In 1624, Dutch colonialists conquered the Portuguese-founded settlement of Bahia in Brazil. There they discovered a creamy, unusual drink that was originally invented by the South American natives. They used the soft flesh of the avocados cultivated there to prepare a rich drink. The Portuguese mixed the viscous liquid with cane sugar and an early form of rum and enjoyed the exhilarating substance in large quantities. Enthusiastic about the combination, the Dutch took not only the recipe but also a large number of avocado plants back to their homeland. Unfortunately, the avocado trees did not grow as planned and the dream of producing their own avocado drink was shattered. However, resourceful engineers soon invented a more than equivalent substitute. A mixture of egg yolk, sugar and brandy, stirred under heat, produced a similar consistency and a delicious, full-bodied taste. In reference to the original recipe, the new drink was called Advocaat. Many years have passed since then, but Advocaat still plays a major role in Europe, and not just at Christmas or Easter. Today, production is regulated by the European Spirits Regulation. Each liter must contain at least 140 g of egg yolk and 150 g of sugar. The alcohol content must be at least 14% vol. Warninks Advocaat is made by De Kuyper according to a traditional, well-kept family recipe and using the best eggs. It is rightly one of the most popular egg liqueurs in the world. With a total alcohol content of 17.2% vol., Warninks Advocaat also considerably exceeds European standards. The creamy, vanilla sweetness also contributes to its worldwide success. Warninks Advocaat is a real treat on its own, but can also be a hit as a cocktail ingredient. Traditionally, it is mixed with cherry liqueur and then topped up with orange juice. This combination, which seems unusual at first glance, is extremely popular in the Netherlands. Tasting the Warninks Advocaat: Warninks Advocaat has a bright yellow color and a thick, creamy consistency. On the nose, it shows rich aromas of freshly beaten egg yolk, honey and vanilla, as well as butter biscuits and sponge cake. On the tongue, Warninks Advocaat is very soft and mild. The entire mouth is moistened and leaves a pleasant sweetness. Once again, notes of pastries, egg yolk, vanilla and caramel are present. The Warninks Advocaat is exactly how the connoisseur imagines an egg liqueur. Sweet, creamy, vanilla and with pleasant notes of the finest baked goods. The consistency is perfect and there is no trace of alcoholic sharpness. This makes the Warninks Advocaat an all-round successful product. Whether with coffee, in a waffle cup, over ice cream or as a cocktail ingredient, the Warninks Advocaat always cuts a fine figure.

Malteco Rum Viejo Dorado 1.0L 40% Ron Malteco Rum Who do we have to thank for the internationally famous Ron Malteco rum? Guatemalan style, so it can only come from the country of the same name... But that's wrong. Strictly speaking, we have Ron Malteco rum to thank for a small distillery in Panama. 'Golden Rum' The rum from Malteco, also known as 'Golden Rum', is the matured brother of the Malteco Seco Puro, which is also in our range. The Malteco Seco Puro is of course also matured, but in bottles, whereas the Viejo Dorado is matured in oak barrels. The rum also bears the name 'Superiore', which indicates a long maturation phase and thus places the rum in the premium segment. Premium taste In terms of aroma and taste, the Viejo Dorado has just enough to offer so that it is not overloaded, but on the other hand not too boring. The dryness known from the Seco Puro can be found again with a hint of sweet notes. The Viejo Dorado goes a step further, fruity overtones can also be detected here. The sweetness comes from high-quality vanilla, and spice notes provide a certain bite. It is recommended to enjoy it pure, with or without ice, but the Viejo Dorado is also not too good for use in cocktails.

Sierra Tequila Blanco is a clear tequila with a full-bodied, fruity-fresh aroma and a light chili note. The bouquet is characterized by the Blue Weber agave and complemented by nuances of green apple and young pineapple.
