Mannochmore's delicate and fragrant addition to Diageo's Flora and Fauna range. One of the only bottlings you'll find with the distillery name on the front.
Super Rare Old is a Japanese blend from the famous Nikka company. It contains a high proportion of malt from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries.
A lightly coloured young, extremely peaty whisky from an unnamed distillery somewhere in Scotland. It's got the rampant smoke you'd expect from a beastly named whisky as well as a pleasant, citrussy fresh fruitiness. The packaging is pretty striking too, with a scary monster and a (deliberately) singed label. Bottled at 46% and un-chillfiltered, just how we like 'em
46% ABV
The Cotswolds Distillery in Stourton is up and running - hooray! This is their Cotswolds Dry Gin, made with juniper, coriander and angelica root macerated in their pure wheat spirit for 24 hours. Following this, they add a botanical selection including bay leaf, grapefruit, lime, black pepper, cardamom seed and Cotswolds lavender to their carter head still for distillation. To bring it down to bottling strength, a robust 46% ABV, they use naturally refined Cotswolds water.
Nose: Light, floral juniper blends well with the Cotswolds lavender. This soon gives way to the vibrant grapefruit peel and warming cardamom.
Palate: Opening with grapefruit, fresh juniper and black pepper, followed by herbaceous notes of bay leaf, coriander and angelica. More lavender brings a bright, delicate character to the full-bodied gin.
Finish: Refreshingly clean on the palate, with lime and bay leaf.
Love gin but fret about the environmental impact of distilling? Look no further for your spiced gin of choice! Cuckoo Spiced Gin is made at the Brindle Distillery, which uses local raw materials as far as possible, and botanicals are from ethical and sustainable sources. The still (known as Maggie) is powered by biomass boilers, and byproducts are transformed into all kinds of animal feed or compost. What about the gin? If warming spices take your fancy, make space in your gin cabinet and get some Cuckoo in with haste. It's even made with Tellicherry black pepper, thought by some to be the finest the world has seen!
Tasting Notes:
Gorgeous warming spices are pleasingly prominent on nose and palate ? think: cinnamon, clove ginger and black peppercorns. Floral notes provide balance, with rose and jasmine most apparent. Try it with ginger beer!
The story of Alpha Domus began in 1989 when the Ham Family, Anthonius and Leonarda, along with their sons purchased 20 hectares of bare land in an area of the Western Heretaunga plains, later to become known as the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District.
Pioneers in the area they established one of the first wineries and were instrumental in the formation of The Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District, giving the sub-region an identity as a premium wine growing area of Hawke’s Bay.
This wine is made using both fully and patially botryised Semillon grapes, harvested from original plantings. Fermentation took three to six weeks and was stopped once the perfect balance of alcohol, acidity and sweetness had been achieved.
The luscious palate of orange blossom, apricot and honey flavurs are completed by a zesty citrus finish. Ideal as an aperitif, or to complete your evening.
A blend of grapes more typically found in the Southern Rhone but this wine hails from the Yarra Valley in Victoria.
The grapes come from the Sexton and Tarraford Vineyards, and each variety and parcel is fermented separately in small open vats with varying degrees of whole bunch and whole berry fermentation, before being matured in large and small oak for 18 months.
The result is a sumptuous easy drinking wine with plenty of aromatic and flavour interest; sweet cherry and red fruit flavours combining with savoury spice in perfect harmony.
Stunning full bodied red blend from Spain, made from 70% Carignan and 30% Garnacha from 60 to 80 year old vines, which were planted on stony vineyard sites at high altitude. Grapes were destemmed and macerated for 15 days. The wine was aged for 13 months in new and one year old, low toast French oak barriques. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The word Braó is Catalan for strength, courage and valour; three qualities this wine encapsulates beautifully.
Vegan friendly.
What the critics say
Josh Raynolds Vinous Media - 92 Points
"Deep, shimmering violet. Intense dark berry, cherry cola and floral pastille aromas are complicated by baking spice and smoky mineral flourishes. Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry and blackberry flavors that show spicy back-end lift. Smooth, well-knit tannins frame the persistent finish, which features lingering mineral and floral notes."
Sunshine Brewing - Born of sun, sea and hot afternoons, Gizzy Gold, as it’s known locally, is our classic thirst quenching and award winning session lager. Dry, crisp and refreshing, it has a lightly toasted maltiness over a solid Green Bullet hop backbone.
Fermented at a low temperature with its own imported yeast strain, it’s a time proven brew to wash out the salt out after a hard day’s surfing, working or playing.
A gift to you from us old Gisborne surfers.

The Tyrconnell 16 Year Old is the highly anticipated limited release expression that builds on the legacy of the original incarnation of The Tyrconnell®. This is the result of sixteen years spent in bourbon barrels, and the first general release of an aged expression of this magnitude. The nose evokes citrus with underlying notes of oak, then the palate reveals a light and approachable taste with green fruits. The finale is subtly sweet with notes of oak and a smooth lingering finish.
A new Gluten-Free that is tropical and hazy. Made with sorghum, buckwheat, and NZ & US hops. Fruity and refreshing!

Beer Baroness- Our Fresh New Hazy IPA uses a combination of Mosaic and Citra along with some out of this world hop heavyweights Strata and Galaxy.
Sweet Passionfruit and Pineapple fight for centre stage against Herbal Resinous pine and Grapefruit pith. A clean Pilsner malt base is used alongside Oats to provide a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, but an addition of a not so common heirloom species of wheat 'Spelt Malt' creates a slightly tangy finish which accentuates a punchy hop bitterness.
Pretty as a picture and taking you out of this Stratosphere into another Galaxy.

A special new addition to our fine wine cabinet, which is 100% Sangiovese made using the traditional governo method; an old Italian winemaking technique where a portion of grapes are dried on the vine late in the season, then added into the wine to assist fermentation and boost complexity.
When the Sangiovese grapes are fully ripe, the shoot is cut on the vine on which the grapes are growing, which leaves the bunches to dry for several days. This is called taglio del tralcio and it can only be done in warm and dry years. The partially dried grapes are added to Sangiovese that is already fermenting and this technique is known as governo, which was first described in 1774 in the book ?The art of making a perfect and durable wine? by Ferdinando Paoletti from Florence.
The fermentation stops naturally because of the extreme ripeness of the grapes which raises alcohol levels to a point where the yeast dies off at 15+ % ABV, before all of the sugar can be consumed. This, in turn, leads to an intensely flavoursome, richly fruity wine. It wass matured for 10 months in old French oak barriques.
