THE SUNNY STYLE OF COGNAC

There is a Monnet style: “sunny” Cognacs, warm with strong floral and fruity hints. Monnet Cognac is first enjoyed through one’s eyes. This specific style was captured by famous illustrator Leonetto Cappiello in his renowned “Sunshine in a glass” poster, completed for Monnet in the 1920s. This poster gave the brand an aura that it still carries nowadays.

HISTORY

The House of Monnet was founded in 1838. Jean-Gabriel Monnet, who gave the house his name in 1897 and chose as its emblem the salamander. Jean Monnet succeeded his father before embarking on an illustrious political career, as chief architect of the European Union. As the House progresses toward its 200th anniversary, it is more committed than ever to the founding principles of quality, generosity and authenticity.

XO is slowly blended from eaux-de-vie selected primarily from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Aged in Limousin oak casks for a minimum of 17 years. Monnet XO strikes a perfect balance between structure, character and delicacy. On the nose, this richly complex cognac marries sweet, spicy aromas of licorice, nuts and candied fruits. On the palate, it offers exceptional roundness, finesse and a luxuriously long finish.

IYLIA Monastrell Rosé wine comes from the Valencian region of Spain, crafted by a family-owned winery with a millennia of traditional winemaking experience. We use the Monastrell grape variety. Also known by its French synonym, Mourvèdre, which is a thick-skinned, red wine grape with a full body and intense, yet elegant, flavor profile.

"Wine Enthusiast says: This deep-pink-colored wine has aromas of apricot and butterscotch. It offers a sense of fullness on the palate, with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and dried thyme and oregano. The finish combines bright fruit and pleasant herbal notes." 

We chose this vibrant grape variety for its stunningly refined taste. We've captured the luscious black fruit flavors of plum, cherry, raspberry, and strawberry by controlling the temperature of our fermentation process. In so doing, we preserve the grape's aroma, which highlights and enhances the strength and flavor of every sip. The result is a stunningly refined flavor.

IYLIA: It's elegance you can taste.

Color: A vibrantly rich watermelon hue.

Aroma: Intense wild berry notes - raspberry, strawberry, blueberry.

Taste: A balanced, smooth, fruity flavor profile with a long silky finish.

Food Pairing: Superb pairing with any entrée serves as an excellent aperitif, perfect with fish or poultry.

Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico is crafted and distilled from 100% Mexican Cacahuazintle (kaka • wha • SINT • lay) corn, which has been cultivated and passed down for more than 200 generations by local farmers for its distinct, extraordinary flavor. 

Central to the flavor profiles created at El Pandillo is the source of water used and in the case of Terralta, it all comes from a deep well, 150 meters down in the earth. What does this mean for flavor? To answer this question, we will first have to talk about the two other water sources at the distillery for contrast.

First, there is the harvested rain water, and secondly, a fresh spring. These two sources are used in a close to 50/50 ratio for 3 of the 4 other brands made at El Pandillo - Pasote, G4, and ArteNOM. The flavors here are clean and crisp, as one would expect from rain water, backed by floral and herbal notes. Volans, the 4th brand produced at 1579 is a blend of spring and well water, and it’s here where the minerality of the earth encasing the deep well begins to come through. But in Terralta, as it’s only source for water, the soil and earth are king.

Where the other profiles are lofty and light, you’ll find Terralta firmly secured in the ground from which the agave grow. The soils of Los Altos are rich in iron, giving them a red coloring, and softness compared to the rockier soils of the Valley of Tequila.

Fortune favours the brave. Back in the 1830´s Charles Tanqueray wasn't afraid to mix his bold ideas. His ingenious pursuit for perfection paid off, creating Tanqueray London Dry, a perfectly balanced gin and one of the most awarded gins in the world.

The bartender´s choice for the perfect G&T. 

In a poll by “The World’s 50 Best Bars” (reported in Drinks International’s The World’s 50 Best Bars Annual Report 2016), Tanqueray ranked best-selling and overall favorite spirit.

When an apple is added to the charcoal of any wood-burning grill, the food searing above takes on a new life, all the charred flavor absorbs into the sweet smoke and creates layers of flavor that are notoriously delicious and complex. Our Smoked apple seeks to deliver on those flavor aspects while simultaneously adding our own flair to a fun and complex flavored whiskey.
