Johnnie Walker 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Black Forest · Germany

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin

We stock it because it is the most complicated gin most people will ever drink, and because the resting step is unusual enough to be worth explaining.

Richmond, New South Wales

Karu Lightning Gin

We stock it because overproof gin earns its place in cocktails - it survives ice and citrus where a 40% gin gets lost. One bottle carries about 32 standard drinks, so it goes further than the price suggests.

Yamazaki, Osaka · Japan

Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

We stock it because it is the clearest way to understand what Japanese single malt actually does differently, and because it rewards drinking slowly rather than analysing.

Speyside · Scotland

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Small Batch Single Malt Whisky

We stock it because it is what the 12 grows into, and the two side by side make the case for age statements better than any marketing does.
