In 1817, James Hennessy created a unique blend for the future King George IV of England. From the encounter of these two visionaries, was born the first Hennessy 'Very Superior Old Pale', known today as Hennessy V.S.O.P. The savoir-faire of the Maison Hennessy is fully expressed in this balanced cognac: the selection of eaux-de-vie, aging and assemblage. A cognac of remarkable consistency and vitality, Hennessy V.S.O.P conveys all of the savoir-faire of the Hennessy master blenders who have ensured the continued success of this harmonious assemblage for 200 years.

Aged to perfection. Blending modern and traditional distilling techniques, añejo was first introduced to the world by Casa Herradura in 1962. Since then Herradura Añejo has aged in American White Oak barrels for 25 months - an incredible 13 months beyond industry standards. The result is a remarkably smooth, amber-colored liquid that melts on your tongue leaving notes of cooked agave, toasted oak and dried fruit. Perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks or your favourite cocktail.

Double Barrel Reposado undergoes a unique two-step aging process, spending 11 months in charred American White Oak barrels before resting an additional month in fresh oak to deepen its complexity. This novel process creates an intense, premium sipping tequila with a luxurious profile of smoky wood, rich caramel, and elegant vanilla. With a burnt amber hue and inviting aromas of oak, charred agave, and sweet spice, it delivers bold flavours of black pepper, custard cream, and dried fruit, finishing smooth with a lingering, aromatic warmth.

Tequila Herradura Reposado is the world's very first tequila reposado that is aged longer than the industry standard for 11 months in charred American white oak barrels. The additional time spent resting results in a deep copper-coloured tequila liquor with a rounded taste and notes of cooked agave, vanilla and butter complemented by a smooth, sweet finish with a touch of spice. This tequila is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in mixed drinks or in cocktails like a Margarita or a Classic Paloma.

Herradura Ultra Tequila delivers a luxurious white spirit experience and exceptionally smooth taste. A perfect blend of premium Añejo and Extra Añejo barrels, then filtered over hard sugar maple charcoal - the result is a cristalino Añejo tequila with a crystal-clear finish. A subtle hint of agave nectar, flavours of cooked agave, caramel, honey and toasted almonds offers a superior taste that will transport tequila connoisseurs beyond smoothness. Perfect for a celebratory occasion, enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in mixed drinks like a Paloma or Margarita.

Hibiki Harmony encapsulates the harmony that exists between Japanese nature and people. Plum and roses on the nose backed up by a hint of mizunara oak and dark chocolate. Oily in texture and delightful in taste.

High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage. What was once a small operation in down-town Park City has grown to be an internationally-recognized, award winning brand.

A fresh-faced, zesty whisky with a natural golden amber colour direct from the cask and as invigorating as the Orkney breeze. Fresh, clean and floral on the nose, with heathered honey and a touch of citrus. Sweet and spicy on the palate, with toasty notes of burnt orange, jasmine and fruitcake. A long finish with peppery spice, woody notes and orange zest, and the subtle, aromatic kick of smoke that you only get from Orkney heathered peat.

This is a wonderfully rich and complex single malt. Opening with rich and spicy aromas of crème brulee, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow - fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. There's a hint of freshly-baked sponge cake too, warm from the oven, and you'll find cinnamon again, but toasted shards this time. Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke.

Named Best Spirit in the World in the Spirit Journal, on two separate occasions, the intense balance of the flavours found in Highland Park 18YO owes everything to the five traditional keystones of production, honoured for over 220 years. Slow-burning, aromatic peat from Hobbister Moor; hand-turned floor maltings, Sherry seasoned European oak casks, cool maturation in the temperate island climate and a long and unhurried harmonisation process. Highland Park 18YO is predominantly matured in 1st fill European oak Sherry-seasoned casks, delivering a remarkable complexity over time. It delivers lingering layers of sweet honeyed malt wrapped up in subtle floral peat smoke. Over 18 years, the cool Northern climate causes the whisky to age slowly and evenly, providing balanced maturation and depth of flavour.

Selecting similar quantities of contrasting cask types - nine first-fill European sherry seasoned oak hogsheads, eight ex-bourbon hogsheads, and nine refill hogsheads - gives the November 2019 Release of Highland Park 21 Year Old single malt whisky an impressively rounded and unique flavour. As the warm spices and rich dried fruit flavours of the European casks mingle with the sweeter, exotic fruit notes from the ex-bourbon hogsheads, the softer influence of the refill casks finishes off the harmony. Bottled at its marrying strength of 46%, this exceptionally well-balanced whisky delivers notes of freshly-cut pineapple, ripe mango, juicy pears, sun-dried sultanas, dried exotic fruit, spice market aromas and curls of densely aromatic peat smoke. We've been crafting our award-winning whisky at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, since 1798. Age, experience and respect for tradition may define our whisky, but it's Orkney that sets it apart. Something magic happens here and the result is the wild harmony of flavours found in our whisky.
