Bertha's Revenge
Navy Strength Gin 57,1%

For our Bertha´s Navy Strength gin, we have raised the ABV to a lip-pursing 57,1%, and have shuffed the botanical blend slightly to accentuate one or two of more pronounced flavour notes. The extra strength gives our merry crew of spices a megaphone through which to convey their message, which is as smooth as well-balanced as you would expevt from a cow riding at anchor.

Bertha, a legendary cow from Sneem, Co. Kerry died in 1993. At the age of 48, she became the world's oldest cow, giving birth to 39 eye-popping calves in her lifetime. To perpetuate her memory, we've brought her back in spirit - literally! Using whey alcohol from Irish dairy farmers, our own
natural spring water and incorporating an interesting blend of local forage and cultivated botanicals, we have handcrafted a gin that reflects Bertha in her prime.

Citadelle Old Tom
No Mistake Gin 46%

Old Tom - When the classic cocktail books were written in the late 19th century, the gin they were famous for was not London Dry but Old Tom gin.

If you want to prepare an authentic cocktail or simply enjoy the drink that made gin a media scandal, leave your London Dry on the shelf and discover the juniper hybrid: Salute Old Tom gin.

Handcrafted Spanish gin. All 10 botanicals are soaked separately in 16L glass jars for 6 - 8 weeks. Then gently distilled in an old copper kettle from 1820. "au-bain-marie" Botanicals: Juniper, coriander, kvanrod, kvan seeds, cinnamon, orange-lemon and lime peel, orange blossom and mint. Intense citrus and fresh mint flavor.

Wint & Lila
Seville - Spain

Wint & Lila story:
The city of Cádiz was the most important center of brandy production in southern Europe in the seventeenth century. Here it was Juan de Wint (Knight of the Order of Calatrava) and Margarita de Lila, both of Flemish origin, engaged in maritime trade. With their marriage in 1645, one of the largest commercial shipping companies in the province of Cádiz was established.

The company Wint & Lila was responsible for the transport of alcohol for medical use for the traditional distilleries of the Guadalquivir Valley to Northern Europe. An alcohol that gave rise to the Dutch Genever, which the English would later replicate in the famous London Dry Gin due to its form of distillation.
