The gin for all seasons. The first ever gin to be made in England using a neutral spirit distilled from grapes. The botanicals act differently in the grape spirit as opposed to a standard cereal base, & the benefits are in the delivery & mouth feel of the gin. Chilgrove is seriously smooth with a perfect length. Charles Maxwell, Master Distiller, adds: A big, powerful, complex gin. The neutral grape spirit base helps to give a soft mouth feel & bring forward floral notes as it combines with the citrus botanicals. Overall there is a gentle delivery of the botanical flavours which end up with a spicy peppery note delivered by the grains of paradise working with the juniper berries. ...

This beer is well known for its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance & its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops & yeast. The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat & raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised. ...

Chimay Rouge is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised. ...

Connoisseurs of Chivas Regal have long appreciated the rich & generous style of Chivas Regal 12 Year Old. This is reflected in Chivas Regal 18 Year Old, which is also characterised by a deep, dark, mellow complexity of the special older whiskies selected for this 18 Year Old blend. Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is the personal creation of the Master Blender, Colin Scott. Every cask of Scotch whisky selected has been carefully selected from very old & precious stocks aged for a minimum of 18 years, including some whiskies that are now exceedingly rare. The quantity of Chivas Regal 18 Year Old that can be produced in any year is therefore necessarily limited. Each bottle bears its own unique serial number. This means that each bottle can be traced back to one particular blending & from there, back through the years in cask, to the distillations that first gave it life. Chivas Regal 18 Yar Old gives you an intensely rewarding & luxurious whisky experience because it is made from h&-selected whiskies of exceptional richness.

Colour: Intense, dark amber. Nose: Multi-layered aromas of dried fruits, spice & buttery toffee. Taste: Exceptionally rich & smooth, Chivas 18 has a velvety, dark chocolate palate with elegant floral notes & a wisp of sweet mellow smokiness. Finish: A magnificently long, warm & memorable finish.
