Dictador 2 Masters Royal Tokaji 1982
- Nose: Chocolate sauce mixed with Pedro Ximenez sticky sherry, Christmas cake, cinnamon and ginger. This is about as rich and complex as a spirit gets. Old leather and vintage book shops add to the complexity, before black cherry finishes the journey.
- Palate: Black Forest Gateau is the fist note, with all the dark cherry, cream and chocolate notes combining brilliantly. The dark cherry moves towards cinnamon and cigar tobacco on the palate, with a light coffee note adding texture and flavour.
- Finish:Ā Rich, with a great mouth-coating property that allows the cocoa notes and red fruits to finish this sumptuous rum.
- Matured in Zemplen Oak / Tokaji Aszu
- Time of Finishing:Ā 31 months
- Quantity: 500 bottles

BenRiach 24 Year Old 1994 Cask 7379 Batch 16 Bourbon Barrel
Juyondai Shichitare Nijikkan
The Juyondai Shichitare Nijjukkan Junmain Daiginjo sake is a premium sake that is considered as one of the rarer series of rice wine in Japan. It is highly sought after as the production for this sake is considerably less than those of other kinds of sake.
Utilising the special technique created by Takagi Shuzo, 75kg of rice water is used, extracting sake after pressing the bag 7 times and allowing it to drip from the bag.Ā This time consuming method and small amount of sake collected each time make this sake very are and limited. Polished to 35%, the sakeĀ excuses a velvety textureĀ amidst its richness. Ā
With a ginjyo aroma of ripe melon and white peaches, the sake is beautifully layered with delicate fragrance.

Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1972
A 45-year-old Dictador Rum from a 1972 single vintage cask finished in fine port casks and then shipped to Glenfarclas in Scotland, where it further spent 7 months in a Glenfarclas 2002 third-fill Jerez Sherry cask. Bottled at 45% ABV.
- Nose: Undoubtedly a great old rum married into a superb whisky with very clear malted barley overtones, sherry notes and dried apricots over the sweeter smell of maple syrup, melted brown sugar and tropical fruits.
- Palate: The whisky somewhat fades into the background and gets overtaken by immensely rounded, rich liquid dried fruits with medjool dates, sun-dried raisins and acacia honey character, although without the sugar content, just pure aged rum. It kicks back in with incredible balance between the alcohol, fruit and acidity, going into a fabulous finish that just lingers for minutes once the āburnā is away and has notes of toffee, sweet tobacco and toasted coconut.
- Colour : A dark golden bronze with flashes of mahogany in the center out to a highly viscous light brass color in the glass.
- Matured in 3rd fill Olorosso Sherry Cask
- Time of Finishing : 7 months
- Quantity : 232 bottles
