Brockman's Orange Kiss Gin
Brockmans · G&J Distillers
Brockmans Orange Kiss takes the brand's fruit-forward philosophy and sharpens it around a single citrus theme. It's a gin that works brilliantly in a spritz but has enough botanical structure to stand up in a Martini variation. The lower proof keeps it sessionable without diluting the aromatics.
Nose
Bright blood orange dominates, supported by soft floral rose and a gentle coriander warmth. The juniper is present but pulled back, allowing the citrus to lead.
Palate
Smooth and medium-bodied with orange peel sweetness layered over lavender and a whisper of vanilla. The mid-palate reveals a subtle grapefruit bitterness and orris root powder that provide depth beneath the fruit.
Finish
Clean and moderately long with lingering orange zest and a floral fadeout.

Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin
Whitley Neill
Whitley Neill's Blood Orange expression works because it respects the gin beneath the flavoring. The blood orange is vivid without being syrupy, and the juniper-forward base keeps it honest. It's a gin that makes a spectacular spritz but doesn't embarrass itself neat — a rare feat in the flavored gin category.
Rhum Clément Cuvée Homère Rhum Agricole Vieux
Rhum Clément
Cuvée Homère is Clément's tribute to founder Homère Clément, and it showcases what extended aging does to quality rhum agricole. The cane character remains at the foundation, but the oak and oxidative aging add layers that rival fine cognac in complexity. This is a sipping rum that demands — and rewards — your full attention.
G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe DOCG 2019
G.D. Vajra
Vajra's Albe bottling is the entry point to the estate's Barolo range, sourced from younger vines across multiple village plots. It delivers textbook Nebbiolo character — roses, tar, cherry — at a price that makes it one of the best introductions to Barolo available. Give it a thirty-minute decant and watch it bloom.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Réserve Personnelle 2023
Domaine Weinbach
The Réserve Personnelle is Weinbach's calling card — a wine that captures the Clos des Capucins terroir with clarity and restraint. The 2023 vintage delivers the crystalline precision that makes Alsatian Riesling one of the world's great white wine styles. Hand-harvested, hand-sorted, and vinified with minimal intervention, it's a pure expression of place and practice.

Kirkjuvagr Orkney Gin
Kirkjuvagr
An assertive, terroir-driven Orkney gin that wears its harsh North Atlantic origins proudly — beautifully balanced between traditional juniper backbone and the foraged botanicals of a windswept archipelago.
Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin
Bombay Sapphire
Bombay Sapphire's vapor-infusion method produces a gin that's lighter and more aromatic than many London Drys, letting its ten botanicals speak individually rather than blurring together. At 47% ABV, it carries enough weight for cocktails while remaining supremely sippable over ice. A benchmark for a reason.
