Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask Finish

£131.99 inc. VAT

This 16-year-old single malt from Balvenie is a standout expression finished in casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, a French fortified wine. Initially matured in American oak casks, it gains extra complexity and brightness from the unique cask finish.

The nose opens with fragrant florals—geranium, citrus blossom, and meadow grass—alongside honeyed malt. On the palate, there’s vibrant grapefruit zest, green apple, sweet vanilla, and delicate spice layered with toasted oak and hints of ginger. The finish is long, crisp, and elegantly dry with lingering fruit and French wine character. A lively, expressive Speyside malt that beautifully bridges richness and refinement.

Maker’s Mark 2025 Cellar Aged Release

Original price was: £144.95.Current price is: £139.99. inc. VAT

Following the instant sell-out success of last year’s launch, Maker’s Mark returns with the next chapter in its Cellar Aged journey. This limited-edition release once again pushes the boundaries of bourbon-making while staying true to the smooth, approachable style that has defined Maker’s for generations.

Cellar Aged was born from a simple idea: to create a bourbon defined by taste, not time. Maker’s had never ventured into extended ageing — not because they doubted its potential, but because they hadn’t yet found a way to do it their way. By marrying the natural maturation of their traditional warehouses with the cool, consistent conditions of their Limestone Cellar, they have crafted a whiskey that is rich, layered, and complex, yet free from the bitterness often found in older expressions.

The 2025 release is a meticulously composed blend of 11-, 13- and 14-year-old bourbon, resulting in a profile that is fruitier, deeper, and darker than anything Maker’s has released before. The result is a whisky that both challenges convention and honours the Maker’s tradition of smoothness without bite — an older bourbon that is unmistakably Maker’s Mark.

Bandida Reposado Mezcal Espadin with 2 free copita glasses!

£142.50 inc. VAT

Two decades ago, the idea of ageing Mezcal in barrels was nearly unthinkable—reserved for tequila and whisky alone. Any Maestro Mezcalero, with his / her multi-generational spirit, would have met the notion with disapproval. Yet, time evolves, and so does craftsmanship.

For those new to the agave aging process—“Reposado” means “rested”, and both Tequila and Mezcal can be rested in wooden barrels for 2 to 12 months. “Añejo” translates to “aged”, and Añejos are barrel-aged for 12 months to 3 years.  However; while barrel-ageing is measured in months, true maturity comes from the 11 years our agaves spend growing naturally.

Bandida Reposado begins with agaves grown for 11 years, reaching peak maturity before harvest. They are then rested for six months in American White Oak casks, allowing the wood to refine and elevate their natural character. This process took over two years of meticulous experimentation—exploring different ageing methods and cask materials—to achieve the perfect blend between agave and oak.

The Tobermory 21 Year Old is an exceptional island malt that reflects both the vibrancy of its distillery and the patience of long maturation.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:

  • The toppings you may chose for that TV dinner pizza slice when you forgot to shop for foods, the paint you may slap on your face to impress the new boss is your business.
  • But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes—will your clients accept that you go about things the facile way?
  • Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever.
  • Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
  • Websites in professional use templating systems.
  • Commercial publishing platforms and content management systems ensure that you can show different text, different data using the same template.
  • When it's about controlling hundreds of articles, product pages for web shops, or user profiles in social networks, all of them potentially with different sizes, formats, rules for differing elements things can break, designs agreed upon can have unintended consequences and look much different than expected.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
