The oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been “Made By the Sea” since 1830. In fact, few single malts tell the story of their origin better. Its smell and taste instantly connect the drinker with the rugged coastal environment. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself – a powerhouse; challenging but adored, once discovered rarely left. Like a warm welcome from a wild sea.

The Talisker 30 is elegant and complex, with the classic Talisker hallmarks of pepper and smoke in a softer and subtler way.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Full gold.

Nose: Vanilla, spice and a grapey, red wine note with faint smoke behind. Adding water softens things and adds a spicy maritime note.

Body: Medium.

Palate: Lively yet mature delight, like the favorite uncle you don’t see very often. Immediately sweet, rich, peppery and hot, with just the right amount of balancing bitterness and salt with no rough edges. An underlying woody smokiness brings everything together.

Finish: Quite long and warming, gently drying, with a hint of smoke in the moreish maritime aftertaste.

The prestige cuvée Belle Epoque Rosé is a delicate, rich & voluptuous wine, the result of a year of nature’s generosity. Herve Deschamps has hand-crafted this wine with grapes sourced from the best terroirs in Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil, the Chardonnays (50%) bring elegance and floral freshness to the blend.

In the early 1800’s, New York produced more than half the young nation’s Barley and Rye and the Hudson Valley was the country’s breadbasket. With abundant high quality grain, local craft spirits flourished and over 1000 farm distilleries produced Whiskey and Gin reflecting the unique terroir of the region. In the 1930’s, Prohibition forced these distilleries to shut their doors and this wellspring of American spirits was left dry.

Hillrock Estate Distillery is changing this. Our mission is to produce the finest hand-crafted spirits made with our own grain, floor malted, craft distilled in our copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled at our estate in the Hudson Valley Highlands. Crowned by a fine 1806 Georgian house built by a successful grain merchant and Revolutionary War Captain and meticulously restored to its original beauty, Hillrock Distillery overlooks our rolling barley fields and the distant Berkshire Mountains. Like our premier spirits, every detail refined, no expense spared, quality steeped in the tradition of 200 years of rich history.

Hillrock is proud to be one of the few “field-to-glass” whiskey producers in the world and the first USA distillery since before Prohibition to floor malt and hand craft whiskey on site from estate grown grain. Hillrock’s commitment to quality embodies the rich history of artisanal distilling in the Hudson Valley. By controlling every aspect of production from planting & harvesting heirloom grains, to smoking our malt, to crafting whiskies in our copper pot still, to aging in small oak barrels and hand bottling, we are able to create the highest quality whiskies reflecting the unique local terroir.

Floor malted, small batch distilled, and aged in charred American Oak, ex-Bourbon and Sherry Casks, this outstanding whiskey is made from Estate grown barley that is traditionally floor-malted & smoked in our on-site Malthouse with imported peat from Scotland for approximately 16 hours prior to distillation, creating a uniquely delicate and complex whiskey. Notes of crème brûlée and shortbread with caramelized orange and heather on the nose open to a balanced and smooth palate faint with citrus notes, but rounded with toffee, dried fruit, cinnamon and clove. The very long and slightly dry finish has a delicate, smokiness which lingers in this bright, honey amber whiskey.

THE ART OF FINE CRAFT DISTILLING HAS MADE THE JOURNEY HOME…

Sweet notes of butterscotch, vanilla & spice finish the blend. Alien Tequila Anejo’s award winning quality is the ultimate tequila experience.

The collection is an exhibition of the most iconic moments across the six decades of Bond; each decade encapsulated on its own packaging. Bringing to life the innovations and inventions of James Bond across the years, the packaging has been colour washed with one of the trending colours of the decade it represents.

DECADE III
In the 1980s Roger Moore’s playfulness gave way to an altogether different tone with the arrival of Timothy Dalton as the next Bond. He was frequently seen re-reading the Ian Fleming texts on set, determined to capture the author’s original character study. 

Dalton’s brooding depth revealed new levels of the character. Through The Living Daylights and A Licence to Kill, Bond’s stoic integrity telegraphed the pressures of constant vigilance. He fulfilled his duties heroically, his burden willingly shouldered. 

ABOUT THE RELEASE
This exceptional single malt whisky has been created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell to reflect the character of James Bond. A force of nature defined by his Scottish heritage, he carries himself with modesty and humility.  Like James Bond, the expression exudes a sense of style and maturity which has evolved over the years. The whisky is consistent within all six bottles.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Fresh and vibrant notes of lemon and lime, a sprinkle of sherbet, leading into a sweet vanilla and coconut, with a hint of dried fig and raisin.

PALATE: Orange zest and fizzy sherbet with a lemon freshness, gentle oak and subtle ginger spice, leading into a deep dark chocolate, figs and baked apple tart with a honey drizzle.

FINISH: Sweet and long with complexed layers.

COLOUR: Suisse (Swiss) gold

WHISKY MAKER: Kirsteen Campbell

THE BOND ARCHIVE
The distinct range tells the story of innovation over 60 years and the pioneering character attributes of James Bond and The Macallan. James Bond is a modern innovator and man of perennial evolution.

This cuvée has been crafted from a meticulous selection of chardonnay grapes that provide good vivacity and a rich complexity. Indispensable to any great cuvée, chardonnay is a precious grape variety for champagne that knows exactly how to offer Pommery champagnes delicacy, elegance and freshness.

TASTING NOTES

Eye: Pale gold with tender green hints. Exceptional brilliance. Sustained effervescence of a very high finesse.

Nose: With a remarkable elegance, the first nose reveals a spring freshness. Subtle floral notes of jasmine and acacia are harmoniously paired with delicate grades of linden. After this first impression of an incredible freshness, a large complexity reveals itself during which notes of citrus fruits and a creamy impression of frangipane express themselves alternately.

Palate: The attack is open, without detour, as a sign of a very great assemblage. The elegance and freshness revealed on the nose can be found back on the palate. The heart of the tasting is of an exemplary righteousness. The aromas of citrus fruits and white fruits (fresh apple) take over. The balance of the final is perfectly revealing the subtle flavor of yellow grapefruit.

Xi Feng Jiu is made with premium sorghum, wheat, barley, and peas with natural underground water from Shaanxi province. It has a fresh nose with touches of cherry and pine, finishing with a hint of sweetness.

The pomegranate has been an object of mysticism throughout the ages. With its delicious plump seeds and remarkable health benefits, we took great care developing our Pomegranate Cocktail Mix. It is an inspired, sweet-tart blend of pomegranate, lemon juice, and cane sugar. Try it Bellini style, with sparkling wine, or with sparkling water for a Pomegranate Spritzer.

Tasting Notes

The brainchild of Jeff Bell (PDT) and Thomas Pastuszak (The NoMad), Bertoux is structured on the French classics, including the heavy use of the Colombard grape variety, with a distinctively American penchant for cocktails blended into the structure and flavor profile of the brandy. Created from 3yr-7yr old pot-distilled brandies that are aged in a combination of French and American Oak casks, the spirit is forward, primary, full flavored and well balanced all at once. If that doesn't fit the bill for a perfect all-purpose mixing spirit than we don't know what will.

A legendary 101 proof straight rye whiskey known for its deep golden amber color and warm, smoky flavor with a rich, balanced aroma of vanilla and spice. Wild Turkey 101 Rye finishes long and spicy and stands up to any mixer and shines through in a classic cocktail like the Old Fashioned.

Given it's status as the cocktail gin, Fords Gin set out to expand their offering by enhancing the nine botanicals in Amontillado Sherry casks to produce a cocktail-forward navy strength gin meant to excite bartenders and provide at-home gin enthusiasts a new spirit to experience.

For the second limited edition in the No Name series, we have emphasised the delicate side of smoky whisky.
