Angostura rum is both easy to sip on its own or to mix in a cocktail or long drink - a truly versatile spirit www.cellartrends.co.uk /AngosturaLimited

Brand info Rock rose
Rock Rose Gin gets its name from a botanical forage along the cliffs of the Pentland Firth, where Rhodiola rosea was introduced to the owners by a local herbalist. A rose in the rocks! Over a thousand years ago, the Vikings would harvest wild exposed cliffs like these to gather Rhodiola rosea. This was thought to give them the extra strength to continue on their long, arduous journeys. Rock Rose gin uses this botanical and a selection of local as well as traditional botanicals to create a unique taste from the Highlands of Scotland. http://www.dunnetbaydistillers.co.uk @holygrassvodka / holygrassvodka
Poetic License This gin has been christened it ‘Picnic Gin’ by its inventors because it is best enjoyed sat on a checkered blanket in the park with friends while the sun is shining. It is a beautifully sweet gin, creamy in texture and in taste, with a strong fruity nose as well as more typical gin notes of juniper, coriander and orris root. www.poeticlicensedistillery.co.uk @PoeticLicenseUK / PoeticLicenseDistillery
Tamdhu Re-launched in 2013, Tamdhu Distillery was established in 1897 by a consortium of pioneering businessmen who embodied the ‘Can-Dhu’ spirit of their generation.
