The Irishman Whiskey Oloroso Cask Finish presents a rich amber hue, indicative of its time spent in Oloroso sherry casks. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of dried fruits, nuts, and subtle spice. The palate reveals layers of dark chocolate, raisins, and a hint of oak, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with a touch of sweetness. Enjoy neat or with a splash of water to enhance its complex flavors.
THE PROCESS
BASE SPIRITS : The base spirit is made from the highest quality wheat from the champagne region of France. Where it is column distilled minimum seven times.
GIN DISTILLATE: We then hand select six botanicals from around the world that are distilled in the UK to create a very clean tasting distillate for our London dry Gin.
THE WATER: Blended with pure Icelandic water which is very low in minerals and high in PH allows the character of our distillates to flourish.
THE FINISH: Our base spirit is carbon filtered and then blended with Gin distillate which is rectified together in our Icelandic facility and then finished off by blending it with Icelandic water before we bottle it to create this clean crisp tasting London dry gin.
Mermaid Small Batch Gin from the Isle of Wight Distillery is a London Dry Gin
Hand-crafted on the Isle of Wight since 2014 using ten ethically sourced botanicals, Mermaid Gin delivers a smooth yet complex blend of fresh organic lemon zest and peppery grains of paradise, with a hint of sea air from wild-foraged, fragrant rock samphire. A refreshing and invigorating serve, for the free-spirited.
Mermaid Small Batch Gin Zest by Isle of Wight Distillery is a London Dry Gin from England
A zesty, aromatic infusion of Mermaid Gin with summer citrus fruits and wild foraged, coastal botanicals. Grapefruit and cascade hops are blended with island bergamot, lemon zest and rosemary, ‘the dew of the sea’, then distilled and infused with our signature gin. The result is a zesty, fresh spirit with a hint of sea air.
Pollination gin is produced in small batches at our Welsh gin distillery using the highest standards as defined by the PGI. Our foraged botanicals come from within the Biosphere reserve: from the Snowdonia foothills, through the Dyfi Forest, and down to the estuary marshlands, including wild flowers, aromatic leaves, fruits and conifer tips.
Production is necessarily very limited.
45% alcohol by volume, non-chill filtered.

Claque-Pépin Dry Cider is an unfiltered cider made from carefully selected and hand-sorted traditional cider apples. After being crushed and pressed, the apples are fermented in vats for several months before being bottled. It is at this point that the secondary fermentation in the bottle begins, thanks to the addition of a small amount of sugar and yeast. Bouché cider is a term used to describe a high-quality cider produced in a traditional, artisanal manner. Unlike industrial cider, bouché cider is produced through a secondary fermentation in the bottle, giving it subtle aromas and a natural effervescence. The tart flavors and the dry finish of the bittersweet fruit give the cider an aromatic kick. Harmonious, soft and structured, with a long finish. It is the perfect cider to serve with crepes, both savory and sweet. It also pairs well with hearty pork or poultry seasonal dishes. 4.5% ABV
