J&B Rare Whisky 

Steeped in history, J&B Rare is a blended Scotch whisky combining forty-two malt and grain whiskies in one smooth yet subtle blend. The heart of J&B Rare is formed from the finest Speyside malts, blended together before being returned to cask for a further three years’ maturation. A unique process of blending mastery, bringing together the bold flavours of single malts with lighter grain whiskies, adding fullness and depth to the blend. This is a whisky whose blends and behaviours have transformed tastes and defined the category, earning loyal clientele from the Princes of England to the Kings of Swing.

Barentsz Mandarin & Jasmine Gin 

Barentsz Mandarin & Jasmine Gin is a premium distilled Gin, inspired by Dutch intrepid explorer Captain Willem Barentsz, whose pioneering spirit led him to seek a passage through the Arctic during the Dutch Golden Age. His discoveries and adventures led to The Barents Sea being named after him. Barentsz Mandarin & Jasmine Gin is infused with Jasmine flowers from China and natural mandarin peel as well as eight other botanicals for an elegant, dry and well-balanced finish. Made from the marriage of two different grain spirits – Winter Wheat and Golden Rye, this unique combination gives the gin a soft and smooth, pure flavour – smooth enough to sip neat.  

Barentsz Gin RRP: £36.95 for 70cl. ABV: 40%
