Black Art 11 has been created using pre-renaissance casks from Bruichladdich Distillery (pre-2001) which have been safeguarded and maturing on Islay for 24 years.

An enigmatic alchemy which relies on nature, craftsmanship and the quiet passing of time, what happens inside each cask under cover of darkness in the depths of the warehouse remains a mystery. Black Art 11 is a testament to this elusive mastery. Using artisanal techniques passed down from one generation to the next; the spirit is pulled exclusively from Bruichladdich distillery pre-renaissance casks which have been patiently maturing on our island home for almost three decades. The finite single malt is created in secret by our head distiller, Adam Hannett, with the recipe only known to him. Putting our trust in Adam, he is given creative freedom to bring this incredible whisky to life. Using pre-renaissance Bruichladdich stock, Black Art 11 is unique and unrepeatable. A chance to experiment, take risks and push the boundaries of possibility; only Adam knows what has gone into creating the precious 24-year-old single malt. The barley and cask types are undisclosed, with the final recipe a mystery. Matured in the finest oak, this eleventh edition of Black Art showcases the captivating marriage of faith and ingenuity and we invite you to put your trust in us.

Taylor Fladgate is one of the few remaining houses to produce a 30 Year Old aged tawny Port. Selected red Ports produced in the eastern areas of the Douro Valley are matured in seasoned oak casks in Taylor Fladgate cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Here, the cool and damp coastal climate encourages a slow and gentle ageing process, producing aromas of great complexity and finesse.

Only every two or three years is a reserve of Port with sufficient structure, fruit and power to age is laid aside to age in oak casks. Those that have reached their peak after thirty years are then blended together for balance and finesse, and to ensure consistency of quality and style. The 30 year old tawny is one such wine.
 

Tasting Notes

Deep, old gold colour with hints of dried fruit and honey offsetting the rich nutty aromas. Lush, silky richness with an elegant, slightly austere quality which is quite distinctive. Subtle dried fruit flavours underly, exotic layers of caramel and nuts culminating in an endless finish.

Terrazas de los Andes Cabernet Sauvignon. Naturally low-yield vines grown in the clay soils of Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, bring forth full-bodied, generous flavors. And our best plot in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, offers spicy, fruity aromas. Blending the contrasts of five in transition to organic plots, this Mendoza red wine is perfect for ageing.

TASTING NOTES
This Argentinean Cabernet Sauvignon offers a complex bouquet that shows back pepper, tobacco and fresh herbal hints, combined with notes of dark chocolate and caramel due to the oak aging. In mouth, it stands out for presenting a greasy and long sensation with granular tannins and a fresh finish.

Smith & Cross Jamaica Rum contains only Wedderburn and Plummer pot still distillates, famous for their notes of exotic fruits and spice. The incomparable complexity of this rum delivers a tour de force of flavour that historically made it a cornerstone of classic rum drinks. We have chosen not to chill filter this spirit in order to retain its full flavour. The mark of Smith & Cross traces its lineage to one of England’s oldest producers of sugar and spirits. Its history dates back to 1788 with a sugar refinery located at No. 203 Thames Street, by the London Docks. Over time, the firm and its partners became prominent handlers of Jamaica rum, with extensive underground cellars along the River Thames.

As an enduring addition to the Speciality Drinks' Elements of Islay range, the Cask Edit is a member of this esteemed series. This Islay blended malt Scotch whisky matures in a blend of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, adding alluring dimensions of fruit, nuts, buttery pastry, and roasted coffee to the subtly smoky malt at its essence.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, discover charred oak and candied nuts interlaced with abundant fresh orchard fruits, leading into subtle notes of praline and creamy vanilla. Gentle peat smoke weaves harmoniously throughout this aromatic tapestry.

The palate unfolds with a presentation of woody caramel paving the path to indulgent almond croissants and bold roasted coffee beans. A whisper of earthy petrichor merges with vanilla and distant bonfire smoke, creating a captivating palate.

As the experience concludes, a freshness persists, accompanied by lingering elegant smoke and sweet spice, encapsulating the essence of this delightful expression.

Maker Notes

PURITY, INTENSITY AND SEAMLESS STRUCTURE
French oak beautifully transforms intense hillside fruit into a wine with uncommon richness and smooth, luxurious texture. Juggernaut hillside Cabernet is a wine that is fierce, brave, and delicious.

WHY HILLSIDE VINEYARDS ARE SPECIAL FOR CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Steep hillside vineyards present the ultimate challenge. Mountainous terrain tests both the grower and the vine. But the results can be extraordinary. These hillside vineyards have less access to water, with the rockier soil also holding fewer nutrients. These conditions stress the vines, resulting in the production of a fraction of the fruit of most vineyards. The harsh environment causes the vines to struggle, yielding fewer clusters and smaller berry size. The result is berries that are loaded with rich, ripe, intensely concentrated flavors and complexity.

FLAVOR PROFILE: DENSE AND VELVETY, WITH VANILLA AND RIPE BLACK CURRANTS

AROMATICS: ANISE, BLACK FRUIT AND CASSIS

Our hillside vineyards are special. So is the wine that is crafted from them.

In 1977, Canadian Club 45 Year Old was crafted in batches and aged in barrels. This exquisite golden amber liquor tantalizes with a fusion of cozy pear notes, baking spices, toffee, and a subtle touch of leather in its aroma. On the palate, it unveils an essence reminiscent of espresso crema, harmonized with hints of wine, gently poached pear, and the delightful nutty essence of praline. Its well-rounded, velvety-smooth texture culminates in a lingering finish, a testament to the remarkable excellence derived from locally sourced grains.

Level up with Grand Blue. Barrel-aged to perfection, E&J VSOP earned the name of Grand Blue to commemorate its premium smooth finish and rich flavor. Crafted in the style of fine European brandies, both fans and critics can’t get enough of E&J VSOP.

TASTING NOTES

Barrel-aged a minimum of two years | Aromas of sweet brown spice | Notes of vanilla cream, maple and sherry

Our original Crystal Head Vodka is crafted from locally sourced, Canadian corn. It is distilled four times into a neutral grain spirit and blended with pristine water from Newfoundland, Canada. The vodka is filtered seven times, of which three are through layers of semi-precious crystals known as Herkimer diamonds.

Our iconic skull-shaped bottle is produced in Europe, where bits of crystal are melted into the glass to ensure absolute clarity.

Crystal Head Vodka offers a clean, clear and colourless spirit. On the nose–neutral grain aromas with a delicate touch of citrus. Silky smooth with a hint of sweetness and vanilla. Ending with a sweet, creamy finish.

Size: 50 ml

Town Branch Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon is a seamless blend of Bourbon from two unique sherry finishes – a bourbon blend finished in Oloroso sherry barrels married with several unique single barrel bourbon expressions individually finished in Oloroso sherry barrels. The result is a unique expression of Town Branch Bourbon with flavors of sherry interwoven, providing pronounced complexity and an exceptionally smooth finish.

Fernet Branca Liqueur is a bold, aromatic Italian digestif renowned for its complex flavor profile. Made from a secret blend of herbs, spices, and botanicals, it boasts notes of mint, myrrh, and spices with a distinctive bitter edge. Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif after meals, it can also be used in cocktails for a unique twist. Its intense, medicinal flavor makes it a favorite among those who appreciate a robust liqueur.
