Barbadillo’s Finos are more Manzanilla-like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.

Barbadillo

PX, as it is better known in its abbreviated form, is the very richest and stickiest style of Sherry to be found. The Pedro Ximénez grape is picked and sun-dried to produce very concentrated sugars in the raisined grape. The result is an ultra sweet wine with a treacly texture and flavour. It is often enjoyed poured over vanilla ice cream.

Barbadillo

A unique blend only made by Blandy’s, combining Bual’s (50%) nutty spicyiness and Malmsey’s (50%) luscious dried fruit flavours. Aged 5 years in cask.

Lovely golden-chestnut colour with a fine golden rim. Characteristic and classic Madeira bouquet of dried fruits, toffee and hints of oak and spices. Sweet, very rich, smooth and full-bodied, balanced by a very fine acidity. A long aftertaste with notes of honey and spicy oak.

Blandy's Madeira

Blandy’s 10 year old Malmsey is fined and does not require decanting. It is a superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings and cheeses. It has been bottled ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.

“The non-vintage 10-Year-Old Malmsey has an introspective, marmalade, fig and burnt sugar-scented bouquet that gently unfurls in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced, with a viscous entry that lacquers the mouth. The acidity is very well-judged, lending the finish a sense of poise and tension that neatly counterbalances the richness and precocity. This is very well-made.” 90 points (Robert Parker Wine Advocate)

Bepi Tosolini

Cherry, mint and walnut aromas, with notes of lemon zest, cardamom and toffee... with flavors of orange, nuts, chocolate and coffee; finishes fairly sweet, with lemon and herb notes.

Colours, aromas, flavours and … properties! The Fernet-Branca recipe is a special journey through the 27 herbs, roots and spices of its special secret and one of a kind formula.

Every single herb represents a distinct universe, experience and discovery.

Fernet-Branca

Founded by four friends — Julian Diaz, acclaimed restaurateur; Agustin Camps, former marketing whizz for IBM, Nestlé, and Diageo; Martín Auzmendi, journalist and founder of Buenos Aires Cocktail Week and La Maratón de Pizza; and, perhaps most intriguingly, Sebastián Zuccardi, the multiple award-winning third-generation winemaker — La Fuerza was born from their shared frustration at the lack of a truly great Argentinian vermouth.

The base of Torrontés is infused with over thirty botanicals sourced from Mendoza and the Andes, creating a beautifully balanced vermouth with a bright, citrus-forward profile. It makes an excellent wet martini — try a 1:1 ratio and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.

La Fuerza

Malbec is blended with over 30 different botanicals, local to Mendoza and the Andes giving intense, spicy, with notes of red and black fruits.

The history of Pineau des Charentes can be traced back to the 16th century when Henry IV came to the throne of France. Legend has is that in the 1589 harvest time, a winegrower accidently poured grape must into a barrel already containing eau de vie. The mixture was rolled to the back of the Lord’s cellar. A few years later, the barrel was needed as a result of a bumper harvest. The owner was somewhat surprised by the marvellous brew, limpid and sunny as the land of Charentes
