LLENCE IN THE LICENSED TRADE

Brand info EDINBURGH GIN Edinburgh Gin is a classic big juniper

gin with a twist. It is batch distilled in a hand-beaten copper pot still using 12 classic botanicals. Its distinctively Scottish character comes from Scottish juniper, pine heather and milk thistle. Only the finest quality ingredients are used to produce a refreshing clean, crisp gin. Edinburgh Gin also produce a delicious Raspberry Liqueur, a clean and floral Elderflower Liqueur and a tangy Rhubarb & Ginger Liqueur, all of which are ideal cocktail ingredients. www.edinburghgindistillery.co.uk @Edinburgh_Gin /edinburghgin

HIBIKI The legendary Hibiki represents true

harmony. The ideal of perfection, the paragon of ‘The Art of Japanese Whisky’ and its artisans. Hibiki means resonance in Japanese. Numerous pure single malt whiskies aged in a variety of cask types, including Mizunara, a very rare Japanese oak, all combine to create a full orchestra of flavours and aromas. Fresh pineapple, plum, raspberry and honey with hints of pink pepper and banana.

HIGHLAND PARK The expression that started it

all for Highland Park. First introduced in 1979, the 12 year old is at the very heart of our core range and demonstrates rich, well balanced malty tones, with the subtle floral smoke which makes Highland Park such a distinctive single malt whisky. A Heather-honey sweetness with peaty smokiness and full malt delivery. www.highlandpark.co.uk @HighlandPark /HighlandParkWhisky

SAILOR JERRY The father of old-school tattooing, Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins was an innovator and a true independent spirit whose work is still revered today. A master craftsman, his artistry and integrity remain timeless as does the rum that bears his signature. Sailor Jerry Spiced is a straightup handcrafted classic. It’s crafted to such high standards that you can sip it neat or poured over ice. It also mixes just right in classic drinks like Sailor Jerry and Ginger Beer. Just don’t go dropping any tiny umbrellas in it—that just wouldn’t be right! www.sailorjerry.com @SailorJerryUK
