Tobermory 12 Years Non Chill Filtered Single Malt Scotch Whisky 0.7L 46.3% Scottish Malt Distillery The Tobermory distillery is located on the Scottish island of Mull, takes its name from the island's capital of the same name, is the only distillery on the island and is also considered one of the oldest active distilleries in Scotland. It was founded in 1795 right next to the island's impressive waterfall. However, over the past few centuries it has been closed more often than it has been in operation. It has been owned by DCL since 1916. In the last century it was closed from 1930-1972, was then renovated and expanded to four stills and was also renamed 'Ledaig', under this name it was produced between 1972 and 1976. There were even two bottlings under this name. Up until 1993 there were numerous closures, bankruptcies and reopenings. Only with the sale to Burn Stewart did this back and forth come to an end. Since then the Tobermory distillery has produced smaller quantities, with only two stills and only uses little to no peated malt. In the past there was no clear line and so there were often very big (quality) differences. With the new owner there is now more clarity and two uniform lines: Ledaig Whisky & Tobermory Whisky. 12-year-old Non Chill Filtered Malt Whisky This bottling is a 12-year-old whisky from the rarities collection. With its colorful designs it is intended to be reminiscent of the colorful houses of the island's capital. The edition of the 12-year-old whisky was allowed to mature in Manzanilla barrels and is non-chill-filtered. This preserves an overwhelming abundance of aromas that reflect the spirit of the Isle of Mull. These aromas, which can be clearly perceived on the palate, include citrus notes, dried fruits, various finely balanced spices and creamy toffee notes. The finish also reveals a fruity, spicy, long-lasting bouquet.

Spicy Gold of the Caribbean 0.7L 40% Spicy Gold of the Caribbean is a rum-based spirit that matured in Panama and was flavored with spices and fruit essences. Fine spice notes such as cardamom, cloves, dill, anise and caraway give it a pleasant scent and taste. Spicy Gold of the Caribbean is mild and soft in the mouth with a pleasantly subtle sweetness.

Beach House White Spiced 0.7L 40% Normally, you are used to rum from the Indian Ocean called 'Rhum Agricole', i.e. rum made directly from sugar cane juice. The Beach House, however, is molasses rum, as is usually known from the Caribbean islands. If you look closely, the Beach House is a rum-based spiced rum. That is, a Blanco rum that has been flavored with selected spices. The Beach House White Spiced is produced in small batches, so the bottle design is rather simple, letting the contents speak for themselves. In terms of taste, this rum is more like the fruity rum variants. With fresh notes of dried fruits and flavors such as lychee and grapefruit and a pleasant sweetness, this rum reflects the taste of the exotic island. The Beach House exudes a real holiday atmosphere.

Red Door Gin 0.7L 45% Small Batch Highland Gin Gin from Scotland? Yes, you read that correctly. Quite unusual for a country that is actually dominated by whisky, gin from the Highlands has recently become available. For over 120 years, the emphasis in spirits production there has been on great attention to detail and good quality. But now it is time to take a new path. The aim was to capture the spirit of Scotland's majestic mountains and windswept coasts in a gin. In terms of taste, the Red Door Gin is elegant and simply well balanced. It offers unmistakable juniper notes, rounded off by citrus and interesting sea buckthorn notes. A few other interesting aromas can be detected in the background: floral notes of heather and chocolatey, smoky rowan berries. All in all, this is a gin that is more on the fruity-floral side, but convinces with very interesting, unusual flavor combinations!

Elg Gin No. 0 - 0.5L 47.2% The name of the gin is the Danish word for 'elk' and is also the nickname of the master distiller Elsner. Each bottle is personally signed by him and once again clearly shows the attention to detail that goes into Elg. No. 0 Gin. The Elg No. 0 Gin speaks for itself. It is the very first gin that Henrik Elsner, master distiller, released in 2015. Not only is this the distillery's original gin and only produced in a small batch process of around 1,250 bottles, but only three different botanicals are used as flavoring components. Anyone who is familiar with the production of gin will know that significantly more botanicals are normally used here. Elg. No. 0 only needs three: juniper, coriander and carrot. The carrots come from a nursery on the Danish island of Funen. There they are harvested only once a year, in July, and processed within 24 hours into the finest carrot distillate. Due to the numerous chemical compounds in a carrot, this distillate has the best conditions to combine the terpenes from the coriander seeds and the juniper berries.

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!

Elg Gin No. 3 Navy Strength 0.5L 57.2% Strengthening the aromas Like Elg No. 2, the third gin from the Danish micro-distillery also has a historical background, but more on that later. Using the classic pot still method, master distiller Henrik Elsner produces a gin with the three botanicals juniper, coriander and carrot. To enhance the extraordinary taste of the carrot in combination with the other two typical gin ingredients, Elsner uses a higher alcohol content. This is achieved by using less water when adjusting the drinking strength, which means that the alcohol is more concentrated, the characteristic of a Navy Strength Gin. Trial by fire The name of the gin can be traced back to sailors in the 19th century who bought rum in the Caribbean but, due to a lack of measuring methods, were unable to determine how high the alcohol content of the distillates was. So they came up with the idea of pouring the alcohol over some gunpowder and then igniting this sample. If the rum caught fire, it was clear that it was a high-proof distillate and the rum was "100% proof", which later tests showed corresponded to 57.2% alcohol. This is why spirits with a higher alcohol content are now referred to as Navy Strength. The big brother If the sailors had carried out the experiment with this Elg Gin, they would have bought it too, because it has exactly 57.2% ABV. And they would certainly have liked the stronger version of the Elg No.1 too. It was not for nothing that Henrik Elsner gave his third creation this alcohol content. After all, alcohol is a flavor carrier and with a 10% increase compared to the Elg No. 1, this is clearly noticeable. When comparing the first and third gins, you will notice that it tastes even more authentic and pure. Because more alcohol also means more flavor-giving essential oils from the selected ingredients in the distillate. This makes the interplay of the three botanicals much more subtle, the spicy sweetness of the carrot stands out in the midst of the fruity juniper and the spice of the coriander.

Elg Gin No.2 Gin not for everyone The Stone Range Distillery is already used to taking unusual paths with its first gin, Gin No. 1. With its second gin, the small Danish distillery takes a journey back in time to the 18th century and follows in the footsteps of a true explorer. Tom Chamberlain may have distilled ordinary gin in Victorian England, but in his free time he was always tinkering with new recipes in his well-equipped laboratory. Only particularly important customers of Chamberlain were allowed to taste these creations and when word got around about the existence of these special drops, everyone wanted to try “Tom Gin”. The reason the gin was so different was because of an alcoholic extract of the juniper berry. In the laboratory Based on the Elg Gin No. To create Gin No. 1, which consists of juniper, cardamom and carrots, master distiller Henrik Elsner, like Chamberlain, experimented and carried out tests which resulted in a dark, sweet and strong gin. The special thing about it is the naturally homemade juniper extract which is added to Gin No. 1 and thus enhances its sensory qualities. A wide variety of mixtures of juniper berries and alcohol strengths were tested until the final recipe was determined. The extraction process used is called maceration, in which the juniper berries are soaked in 50% alcohol for a month. During this time the alcohol takes on the aroma and color of the berries. After straining this mixture, at the end of the process there is an extract with a slightly reduced alcohol content which can then be used to refine the gin. Special then as now The extract now has a variety of aromas from the juniper plant which could not have been achieved through distillation. Used in the right proportions, this expands the aroma spectrum to include a particularly intense, fruity-sweet juniper aroma. The distillate is also no longer clear but has a violet color. The alcohol content has also shifted to around 46% vol. Gin No. 2 is therefore a pleasure to drink neat, and it is easy to understand why the gin from "Old Tom" was so well received.

Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin, 0.7L 43.3% History and production of Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin: The term Bathtub Gin has a historical meaning that is quite controversial. In the 18th century, the so-called "Gin Craze", or gin epidemic, dominated public life in the United Kingdom. The average per capita consumption of gin was a dangerous 10 liters per year, including children, the sick and the elderly. Triggered by an increase in beer tax, many citizens began to get drunk by making their own alcohol. In addition to pots, pans and tubs, bathtubs were also often used. These proved to be very practical, as they allowed large quantities of brandy to be mixed with all kinds of herbs and spices to mask the poor quality of the distillate. Gin consumption reached threatening levels and social life threatened to collapse. The Gin Act of 1751 finally introduced comprehensive measures which fortunately managed to contain the epidemic. Today, the term "bathtub" refers to the artisanal production of spirits. Quality is now the main focus. The illegal and sometimes inedible products from the 18th century cannot be compared with this. Professor Ableforth produces his award-winning Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin himself and by hand in his small laboratory in the south of England. The highest quality gins are produced there in a specially constructed still. The "mad professor" is particularly proud of the cold compounding system he developed himself. There he extracts the aromas of his botanicals at low temperatures in a particularly gentle way and transfers them into the distillate. In addition to juniper berries and orange peel, these also include cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cardamom. The result is truly impressive. This is also what the judges thought when they named Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin the best compound gin in the world at the 2014 World Gin Awards - a knighthood for Cornelius Ableforth. Tasting of Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin: In the nosing, Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin shows an impressive combination of strong juniper notes, fruity lemons and spicy herbs. All impressions are wonderfully integrated and extremely harmonious. The interplay of fruity sweetness and earthy-floral notes, which are created by cardamom and coriander, is particularly noteworthy here. This means that Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin goes its own way. Juniper is still the dominant aroma, but in contrast to standard London Dry Gins, the complexity is significantly increased by the spices and citrus fruits. On the tongue, Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin then delights with an unexpected power and intensity. The impressions known from the nosing are further strengthened and developed in the mouth. The finish is long and warming, the Christmas spiciness fades into the background over time and is replaced by a pleasant sweetness and fruitiness. Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin is one of the few gins that also works very well neat. Nevertheless, it is outstanding in a gin & tonic.

MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey 0.5L 45% About the Mississippi River Distilling Company The Mississippi River Distilling Company, or MRDC for short, is a relatively young American distillery that was founded just a few years ago. The idea to found the Mississippi River Distilling Company came from two brothers who wanted to make their dream of owning their own distillery come true. At the same time, they wanted to use their spirits to create a connection to their homeland and the location of the distillery in LeClaire, Iowa. LeClaire, Iowa is an almost magical place where nature is almost completely untouched and where crystal-clear rivers ensure fertile landscapes. The ideal place to distill high-quality bourbon whiskey such as the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey! The MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey In 1846, William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, was born in LeClaire, Iowa. On his "road of life" he inspired many people and so the Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey was named after him. The aim of the distillers was to create a whiskey with the most unique taste possible with the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey. They kept in mind that around 90% of American whiskeys are distilled by just eight distilleries. Although these whiskeys are very good, they often have more or less similar tastes. This should be different with the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey, which is why the Mississippi River Distilling Company opted for a mash of 70% corn, 20% wheat and 10% unmalted barley. The resulting MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey matures for a year in heavily charred, small oak barrels before being bottled at 45% ABV. The taste of the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey Just as the makers intended, the taste of the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey Company cannot easily be compared with other American bourbon whiskeys. The unmalted barley brings nutty aromas to the whiskey, while the corn provides the light, fruity taste of the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey. Despite its strong 45% vol., the MRDC Cody Road Bourbon Whiskey has a very smooth and long finish!

MRDC Cody Road Rye Whiskey 0.5L 40%

Viche Pitia White Gourmet Spirit No. 30 Lemon & Milk History and production of Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk In addition to its unique purity and the resulting versatility of use, a crucial advantage of vodka is that it is not limited to a specific raw material. In principle, anything that can be fermented can be used. Farmers in earlier centuries in particular took advantage of this fact. Any surplus from agricultural operations could be preserved for a long time through fermentation and subsequent distillation. In addition, the sale of vodka was a good source of income at that time. From a historical perspective, it is therefore not surprising that different raw materials are still used to produce vodka today. There is vodka made from rye, barley, apples, potatoes, etc. However, a trend can now be observed that is increasingly standing in the way of this diversity. The industrially produced vodka of global companies is now mainly made from wheat, as the combination of yield, extract content and low prices is ideal from an economic point of view. However, this also means that the historically grown variety that characterizes vodka is lost. To counteract the impending monotony, the French company Maison de la Vodka has specialized in the production of traditional vodka based on historical models, which is sold under the Viche Pitia brand. All vodkas are produced in the French Cognac region in specially made copper stills and according to old Russian recipes from the Tsarist era. Special mention should be made here of Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk. A very special filtration process is used for this exceptional vodka, which was used hundreds of years ago to remove fusel oils and undesirable flavors and aromas. For the so-called milk protein purification, the Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk is mixed with pasteurized milk and fresh lemon juice. The citric acid causes the milk protein to precipitate, binds specifically to all fusel oils and is then skimmed off again. Filled by hand into an elegant glass bottle, the Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk also cuts an excellent visual figure. Tasting the Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk: The result is that the Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk has no off-flavors or alcoholic burning, which makes it particularly mild and extremely harmonious. The nosing reveals subtle aromas of malted grain and citrus peel, which shine with their balance. On the tongue, the Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk delights with a delicate, silky-smooth mouthfeel and incomparable purity. Oily and warming as it flows down the throat, it leaves behind delicate hints of grain, butter cake and almonds that linger for a long time. The Viche Pitia No. 30 Lemon & Milk is a truly exceptional vodka and an absolute must for all fans of the Russian water.

Viche Pitia White Gourmet Spirit No. 7 Caraway 0.5L 58% History and production of Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway: While the trend in vodka today is increasingly moving towards taste and aromatic neutrality, the situation surrounding this elegant little water was very different in the 18th century. Back then, vodka was characterized above all by its complexity and a characteristic flavor profile, which varied depending on the region and thus produced an unexpected variety that is comparable to today's single malt whisky. This was due not only to the raw materials used, but also to the distillation process. While nowadays we mainly work with continuously operating distillation columns, in the past copper pot stills were the state of the art. Although these were less economical, more aromas and flavors were transferred to the distillate. It was also common practice in Russia to flavor vodka with various herbs and spices. From a historical perspective, it is therefore all the more astonishing that vodka is now equated with neutrality and that traditional vodka styles have almost been forgotten. Fortunately, with Maison de la Vodka there is now a company that specializes in the production of traditional vodka creations. Under the name Viche Pitia, vodkas are produced according to old Russian recipes from the 18th century. A distillery was built for this purpose in the French Cognac region, which exactly corresponds to the Russian model from the 18th century. One of the flagship products is the Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway. This rye-based vodka is mixed with various aromatics such as caraway, coriander, juniper berries, cubeb pepper and licorice and then distilled again. The Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway is not diluted and is bottled directly with an impressive 58% alcohol in a stylishly designed, square bottle. Tasting the Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway: With its complex, herbal smell, you wouldn't initially think the Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway is a vodka. There are very clear aromas of caraway, which, accompanied by juniper berries and coriander, are reminiscent of a Steinhäger or Genever. The Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway creates a real explosion of taste in the mouth. Despite its amazing softness, it has intense notes of caraway, juniper berries, citrus fruits, licorice, cedar wood and candied ginger. The pleasant spiciness continues into the long-lasting finish and impresses with its fullness and sophistication. The Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway is a truly exceptional product that elegantly transports a traditional vodka style into the modern age. For fans of Polish or Russian vodkas, which impress with their complex taste and aromatic variety, the Viche Pitia No. 7 Caraway is an absolute must.

Angels' Nectar Blended Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% History and production of Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky: Whisky lives from its long history and the many little legends that surround it. It is not uncommon for the name and taste of a whisky to go back to an interesting story or historical event. The myth of the Angels Share is probably familiar to most lovers, as it clearly illustrates how closely science and superstition are linked. The Angels Share, also known as the Angels' Drink, is essentially based on the phenomenon that a certain amount of liquid evaporates from the barrel every year during storage. The amount is more or less large depending on the climatic conditions and the type of barrel. Humidity also plays a major role. It can be observed that in Scottish warehouses, where the humidity is comparatively high and the temperatures are low, more alcohol evaporates than water. This means that the alcohol strength of the distillate decreases continuously over the years. In Kentucky, on the other hand, where bourbon is matured, it is very hot and dry. It is therefore not uncommon for more water to evaporate and the whiskey to gain in alcohol content. In the early days of whiskey production, the first distillers noticed that every year a part of their valuable goods, for which they worked so hard, went missing. They quickly suspected that the angels were secretly, quietly and discreetly tampering with the delicate contents of the barrel. This belief gave rise to the term Angels Share, which is still in use today. A truly amazing blended malt whiskey was recently released based on this Angels Share. Imagine being able to accompany the angels on their "raids". Of course, you would only choose the best and most exclusive barrels. With the Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition, you now have the opportunity to do so. A truly angelic composition was created from a unique selection of the finest and most delicate Speyside and Highland malts. Tasting of the Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition: The Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition has a natural, slightly golden color. On the nose, it shows a whole range of different but very harmonious aromas. A stunning, sour fruitiness of lemons, oranges, apples, pears and gooseberries is balanced by an intense sweetness. Vanilla, caramel, heather honey and butter biscuits form a balanced counterpart. The taste of the Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition is pleasantly gentle and mild, without lacking in complexity or strength. Once again, the character is dominated by the interplay of sweetness and acidity. This brings out wonderful notes of freshly baked apple pie, fruit bread and orange marmalade. In the background, there are also Christmas spices such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice. The Angels Nectar Blended Malt Whisky First Edition is rounded off with spicy oak, dark chocolate and coconut cream. With this extremely successful blended malt whisky, you are sure to be the envy of the angels. It's worth getting your hands on it.

Bunnahabhain Single Malt Whisky Eirigh Na Greine, 1 L, 46.3% History and production of Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine: The Bunnahabhain distillery was founded in 1881 and is located in a picturesque bay in the north of the island of Islay. The name Bunnahabhain translates as "origin of the river" and goes back to the Margadale spring from which the water for production comes. Since the owner of the distillery changed in 2003, things have been going uphill for the Bunnahabhain distillery. The product portfolio has been greatly expanded and the quality has improved immensely. In addition to the peat smoke typical of Islay, Bunnahabhain's whiskies have a maritime note and a pleasant malt sweetness, which creates enormous complexity. The name Eirigh Na Greine comes from the Gaelic and means morning sky. This creates a connection to its intense, shiny gold color, which is reminiscent of the sunrise over the Scottish coast. For the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine, the master distiller of the Bunnahabhain distillery married a variety of his best single malt whiskies, most of which had previously matured for a long time in French red wine barrels. The result is an exceptionally complex single malt whisky that complements the typical taste profile of the Bunnahabhain distillery with rich fruit aromas of full-bodied wines from France. The Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine is neither colored nor chill-filtered and is bottled at a powerful 46.3% ABV. Alcohol. Taste of the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine: The Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine has a variety of aromas on the nose. Roasted nuts, marzipan and red berries are perfectly complemented by a beautifully integrated smoky note. In the background, hints of dried fruit and rose syrup can be detected.

Beach House Spiced 0.7L 40% Spicy spirits Spicy rum-based spirits are literally on everyone's lips again, and not just because of successful marketing campaigns by major manufacturers such as Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry. Smaller manufacturers who particularly impress with their quality have also been able to arouse the interest of numerous connoisseurs. This includes Beach House Spiced. This is also produced on the island of Mauritius. Even if you think of the Caribbean when you think of rum, Mauritius has a long tradition when it comes to rum production. The oldest distillery still in operation on the island was built in 1926 and still produces extremely popular rums today, such as the Penny Blue XO Mauritian Rum. The Beach House Spiced Similar to the Penny Blue XO Mauritian Rum, the Beach House Spiced is an extremely high-quality spirit, which in this case is mixed with various herbs and spices. The base is a stored rum, in which the herbs, fruits and spices are then macerated. After the maceration is complete, the Beach House Spiced is bottled at a strong 40% ABV. This is relatively high for a spiced spirit and underlines the quality of the Beach House. It is bottled in attractive bottles, which are sealed with a high-quality natural cork. The taste of the Beach House Spiced A spiced spirit of this class is best enjoyed neat and slightly chilled or with a little ice. Of course, you can also mix it with cola etc., but we recommend cheaper products for this. However, the Beach House Spiced is ideal for high-quality cocktails. On the nose, the straw-colored Beach House Spiced shows fine notes of blood oranges, honey, gingerbread, lime and ginger. On the palate, nuances of bitter orange blossom, sugar cane and a range of exotic spices are added. The Beach House is an extremely exciting spirit that shows what qualities can be found in this often underestimated spirits category.

Cointreau Orange Liqueur 0.7L 40% Cointreau is an orange liqueur from France that has been produced since the middle of the 19th century and was originally called Cointreau Triple Sec.

Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif 0.75L 18% The history of Byrrh Byrrh is a French wine-based aperitif. Byrrh was once the best-selling aperitif in France and is currently on the rise again. The Byrrh Grand QuinQuina was invented by the brothers Pallade and Simon Violet. The Violet brothers were itinerant textile merchants who recognized the high demand for wine and aperitif drinks at the time. In 1866 they finally developed the recipe for the Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif. The basis was various dry wines (usually from the Carignan grape), which the brothers skilfully flavored with various national and international spices. These include cocoa, coffee, kalumba, gentian, chamomile, cinnamon and bitter orange peel. At the time, such a mixture was not particularly unusual, which is why the Violet brothers decided to use another special ingredient to distinguish Byrrh from other wine-based aperitifs. They added cinchona bark to their aperitif, which contains the active ingredient quinine, which is known for its effect against malaria and fever. Quinine is also what gives tonic water its distinctive bitter taste. Because of the addition of quinine, the Violet brothers skilfully marketed their Byrrh aperitif as a health-promoting drink. Since the competition naturally did not like this at all, the Violets had their drink officially declared as health-promoting, which meant that it was sold in pharmacies from then on. Byrrh became the best-selling aperitif in France and was also successfully exported to the USA. Due to prohibition there and the Second World War in Europe, however, sales collapsed sharply and tax-advantaged products such as Banyuls, Muscat de Frontignan and Rivesaltes overtook Byrrh. Since 1977, the former family business has belonged to the international spirits group Pernod-Ricard, which still has the spirits manufactured in the old production facilities in the town of Thuir near Perpignan. For several years now, Byrrh has been on the rise again, which is closely linked to the revival of global cocktail culture. The taste of the Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif The reddish aperitif reveals fine wine and herbal aromas on the nose that harmonize wonderfully with one another. On the palate, in addition to the sweet notes of cocoa, coffee and dried fruit, there is also a clearly perceptible bitter note. This comes from the quinine and sets the taste of Byrrh apart from other aperitif wines. The sweetness is also accompanied by a pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste. Connoisseurs enjoy the Byrrh slightly chilled or as a long drink with soda.

MRDC River Rose Gin 0.7L 40% The history of the Mississippi River Distilling Company The MRDC River Rose Gin is produced by the Mississippi River Distilling Company in LeClaire, Iowa. The Mississippi River Distilling Company was founded in 2010 by two brothers who wanted to realize their dream of owning their own distillery. They wanted to produce an honest, handcrafted gin.

Other botanicals used are lavender, rose petals and locally grown cucumbers, which provide the unmistakable finish of the River Rose Gin. The copper still for the River Rose Gin is also called "Rose". It comes from Germany and was manufactured by the renowned company Kothe Destillationstechnik in Eislingen. Although the distillery has a rectification column, it also enables production using the traditional pot still method. This quality product "Made in Germany" is the basis for the great taste of River Rose Gin.
