Mixers seem to be the new trend at the end of 2013, and with the new year looking promising, I think it will only get bigger. With names such as Fentimans, Jax Coco and ZEO already featured, and brands such as Glo Worm looking at making a splash in 2014, it’s the turn of theContinue reading “Laimon Fresh Tasting Notes”

Beefeater Tasting Notes
The Chelsea Distillery is a name that many of you have probably never heard of, but back in the 1820’s, it was big business, and started one of the world’s most famous gin brands – Beefeater. I’m surprised I’ve never covered Beefeater fully before, and with a presence in most bars, it makes perfect senseContinue reading “Beefeater Tasting Notes”
Shot Dropz Tasting Notes
“We’ve all been there. On a cruise, dying to let our hair down and let loose. You get a bottle of rum, vodka, whatever you prefer, and you get your party started. But something doesn’t quite taste right. You need something to mix with your shot and you don’t want to pay the insane pricesContinue reading “Shot Dropz Tasting Notes”
St Germain Tasting Notes
I love a liqueur I can sip. Just one that you can crack open no matter what time of day it is and enjoy. Even better if it’s versatile enough to mix simply within some classic drinks. St Germain is a staple to my drinks cabinet because it does just that. Question is, out ofContinue reading “St Germain Tasting Notes”
Domaine De Canton Tasting Notes
Liqueurs are a major part of any bars existence, with many flavours used within many a creation or sipped over ice. Orange, hazelnut, coffee, elderflower, they’re all pure, one single flavour in a bottle. But there is a trend, a trend that can be said to have started with the likes of Grand Marnier, blendingContinue reading “Domaine De Canton Tasting Notes”
Benchmark Tasting Notes
McAfee’s Benchmark is a premium bourbon, but one that you probably won’t see on your bar travels as much as it probably should. As I’m one for highlighting some of the more ‘forgotten’ brands within my work, I took the time to dig a little deeper for you all. The McAfee’s Benchmark brand was createdContinue reading “Benchmark Tasting Notes”
Broker’s Tasting Notes
A gin, specially blended to be dry with an image driven to literally tip the hat to the gin craze of England. Broker’s does just that, the brain child of Martin and Andy Dawson. Broker’s has also won more top awards in international competitions over the last ten years than any other gin. But we’reContinue reading “Broker’s Tasting Notes”
Ballantine’s
Over the past two years, I’ve been enjoying two rather nice drams from Ballantine’s. The Christmas reserve blew me away back in 2012, and I hailed it as one of the best drams that I have experienced. One year later, I’ve been sent the latest expression in the Christmas Reserve portfolio, but as I conductedContinue reading “Ballantine’s”
Girvan Tasting Notes
I’ve been rather lucky recently. A friend of mine travelled up to Manchester armed with three bottles of exclusive whisky, and the intent of showcasing for only the second time in history. Rather honoured for the invite, and to be hosted within the Manchester branch of The Whisky Shop, Mark Thomson of The Spirits BureauContinue reading “Girvan Tasting Notes”
The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter Tasting Notes
I’m a whisky lover. Whisky is the biggest category explored on my website due to my love for finding something new within its boundaries. This also means that I love to be ahead of the game sometimes, and have been honoured with the chance to sample new expressions over the years. Today though, I haveContinue reading “The Glenlivet Guardians’ Chapter Tasting Notes”
