Spirits and Beers

Carlos I Brandy is from a solera started over a century ago. Dark golden colour with scents of roasted almonds and butterscotch with vanilla and nutmeg on the palate. Assertive, rich aftertaste.

Tasting Notes by Dr Whisky Honey and lemon, green grapes, skin cream/lotion. Very fresh on the nose. The peat is in there, but it is all so perfumed, estery, and free of the associations that often appear with peat smoke that it could go unnoticed. Apple crumble, margarine, and a touch of animal hide. Okay, well the smoke will not go unnoticed on the palate, but it is so clean, and surrounded by floral sweetness, that to compare it to a Scottish whisky would not quite be fair (to either). Peated barley at the heart of the flavours, grassy, and increasingly drying. Oak and almonds.

Few whiskies offer as indulgent an experience as Johnnie Walker Gold Label. Exceptionally smooth, creamy and delicate, Gold Label is the ultimate whisky pleasure. A skilful fusion of rare aged whiskies inspired by the notes originally kept by Sir Alexander Walker, and crafted from only a small number of Scotland's most renowned distilleries each matured for a minimum of 18 years. The golden whisky, a truly inspired blend that has at its heart the rare Clynelish malt, distilled from spring water which runs through veins of pure gold, to create a magical taste, rich soft and lingering. One sip reveals honey tones balanced with almonds and spices, leading to a distinctive creaminess and the most delightful smooth finish. The true hedonists of the world freeze their Gold Label for 24 hours to release its light fruity flavours and true honey sweetness, as the whisky warms in the mouth. Other whiskies either lack these distinctive light characters or have flavours that can be overpowering when suddenly released, for example strong woody or smoky characters. Gold Label is perfect when served frozen, in a frozen glass and perhaps even served with a bitter chocolate dessert for a truly indulgent experience.To drink is to savour the richer pleasure of a truly golden whisky.

Chase English Potato Vodka has been awarded 1st place (double gold medal), in the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits competition from an entry field of 115! Formerly 'TYRRELLS - Artisan Potato Vodka', the Vodka Masters 2008 Gold Medal Winner has had a makeover.Why Chase? 'When you are proud of making something put you name on it."William Chase founder of Chase DistilleryA wholesome buttery scent on the nose, with a full bodied and creamy texture.Chase Vodka is complex on the palate, with notes of mashed potato and butter, leading onto a slightly smoked almond finish, with a hint of black pepper.The same potatoes that make their award-winning Tyrrells crisps go into making this vodka. They have the perfect soil and the best equipment for growing spuds, and they can go from field to fermentation in under a mile.Chase Distillery is the first and only company to produce an English Potato Vodka, and tastes much smoother than grain and rye based spirits. Chase retains a thick, buttery taste from the potatoes, and once they have stripped the alcohol from the mash mixture they can feed it to our cows, so every bit of the potato is put to good use.
