Our Great ONLINE SALE continues...

Benriach Miniature 12yo

Deep in the musty darkness of the long, low traditional warehouses at the BenRiach distillery, row upon row of oak casks rest, slowly maturing. This is an uninterrupted inventory of fine Speyside Single Malt, dating back to 1966. The casks contain the highest quality whisky and many reveal 'expressions', which have taken the industry experts by surprise due to their complexity and subtleness. Some are no less than outstanding examples of the art of whisky production.

Shop Miniatures

Balvenie DoubleWood 12YO 40%

Nose: Gristy, supple nuttiness, grapey. Palate: Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Finish: Dry, spicy, beautifully warming.

Shop Scottish Drink

Pappardelle Egg No 205 250gr

10-12mm wide ribbons of egg pasta. Serve with a buttery, creamy mushroom and rosemary sauce.

Maldon Sea Salt

The essential ingredient. Completely natural sea salt with a distinctive flavour. No kitchen should be without this beautiful, natural salt. Distinctive taste means less is required.

Shop Seasoning and Spices

Walnut Brown Sweet Sherry

Very sweet oloroso. Dark mahogany, almost ebony. On the nose, dried nuts and faint aroma of raisins, muscatel and toasted sugar. Smooth and velvety with a warm palate owing to its alcohol content. A long finish.

Aceto di Vino Rosso

With a unique and delicate bouquet, made from selected grapes of the famous Italian Vineyards. Produced by traditional Italian methods and matured in oak casks.

Shop Vinegar
