videoRon De Cuba / Isla Del Tesoro Rum
This rum is designed as a product that evokes crude and crude eau-de-vie, craved by pirates and privateers who ravaged the Cuban coasts, the so-called Treasure Island, between the 16th and 18th centuries, which they treasured as a part of looted loot in the surroundings of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Needless to say, the eau-de-vie is not the same as before, aggressive and repulsive to the palate, but very aged and treated with care. The Isla del Tesoro rum contains a pure soul, delivered, refined, strong of spirit, but soft to gracefully caress our olfactory sensations and our taste buds.

videoThe Balvenie French Oak
The Balvenie French Oak is a vibrant single malt finished in casks previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. Pineau us also found as a home-made product in the neighbouring Deau-Sevres and Vendee departments. The Balvenie USA brand ambassador Lorne Cousin suggested Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE explore these casks after a trip to the region with his family where he fondly remembers sipping an aperitif. This is the first of The Balvenie finishes to explore French Oak. Pineau is akin to cognac in terms of production and flavour, allowing us to capitalise on the rise of this flavour profile and its premium credentials.

videoThe House of Pol Roger
DISTINCTION & ELEGANCE: Pol Roger is the gentlemen's Champagne, as Jean-Paul Kauffman wrote in "Voyage en Champagne". REFINEMENT & PLEASURE: It is not surprising, therefore, that Winston Churchill and even the British Royal Family should have made it their favourite over the years. This refinement reflects a whole lifestyle. It is also a source of infinite pleasure. Pol Roger Champagne has a soul, created by the union of a family's spirit and the character of a vineyard. The winery and the cellars are located on the celebrated and noble Avenue de Champagne in Epernay, in the very place where the heart of Champagne beats. The purity and nobility of Pol Roger Champagne is also the fruit of the know-how, passed down from generation to generation.
