OITÍN H HARE P MAD MARC

THE ORIGINAL RIT IRISH SPI First distilled by monks, the Irish enjoyed their poitín for a thousand years before it was banned by the Brits in 1661. But we’re resilient feckers and poitín never really went away.

It remained part of Irish drinking culture and was given names like Cratur, Mountain Dew, Mountain Tea and Devil’s Spittle. And you always knew a man, who knew a man, that could get you a bottle. Now legal again, poitín can be found on backbars all across Ireland,

instead of under the counter.

At Mad March Hare, we use only the finest, locally sourced malted barley and distill three times in small copper pot stills in the traditional way. We then cut the spirit with Irish spring water to 40% ABV resulting in a drink that is full of character and exceptionally smooth. Sláinte!

KEY ISH WHIS EGAN’S IR

Egan’s Irish Whiskey is a true heritage brand that was born in the heart of Ireland.

At the turn of the 20th century P. & H. Egan Ltd was one of the most important employers in the midlands of Ireland with branch offices throughout the region. P. & H. Egan won considerable praise for its legendary Tullamore Ales and, of course, Egan’s No.8 Irish Whiskey.

A Living Legacy Six generations in the making, this charismatic range of Irish Whiskey was carefully selected by members of the Egan family and proudly represents over 160 years of heritage.

To much acclaim, Egan’s 10 Year Old Single Malt was released in 2015. This was followed by Egan’s Vintage Grain, a single grain, more contemporary whiskey which is perfect for the casual enthusiast and great for mixing. In 2018 we released Egan’s Fortitude, a whiskey that has been aged exclusively in PX casks and Legacy Reserve I, which is aged in exbourbon casks for a minimum for 15 years and limited to 1,000 bottles.

EGAN’S LEGACY RESERVE IS PROBABLY THE BEST WHISKEY I’VE EVER TASTED Whiskey Wash

2019 saw the release of Egan’s Centenary commemorating 100 years since the passing of Henry Egan. Egan’s Centenary is a blend of single malt and single grain that is finished in XO Cognac casks of Limousin Oak. We were also thrilled to welcome the second installment in the Legacy Reserve series. Aged for 16 years in ex-bourbon casks and finished in Banyuls AOC casks.

GUE REGAL RO

The latest addition to the Intrepid Spirits portfolio, Regal Rogue is Australia’s first native vermouth.

All four varietals—Lively White, Daring Dry, Bold Red and Wild Rosé— are a handcrafted celebration of 100% Organic Australian wine, blended with more than 17 aromatic herbs and native Australian spices sourced from Aboriginal farmers.

A fresh alternative to wine and spirits, Regal Rogue’s innovative approach is making waves for its distinctive flavour profiles, low alcohol content and reduced sugar content over traditional vermouth styles. It is best enjoyed over ice in a low ABV spritz or in vermouth-forward cocktails.

It’s a brand made for those idyllic, fun-filled, stylish and social moments together, especially those in the summer months: an afternoon by the pool, that cool house party, a long lunch on the beach, early evening drinks as the sun goes down or a barbeque with friends.

HAÇA FUBÁ CAC

E T S A T E H T L I S A R B F O Double-distilled in copper pots, Fubá has a much rounder mouthfeel than its mass-produced counterparts and has no added sugar, resulting in a dry cachaça that makes it perfect as a cocktail ingredient.

Fubá was created by brothers Rafael and Cassiano Agapito, who were determined to produce the most delicious cachaça using traditional recipes, coupled with modern, sustainable techniques.

All of Fubá’s ingredients are sourced from protected farms and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our farms operate a ‘no waste’ policy meaning leftover cane is burned to heat the still and other by-products are returned to the field to fertilise the soil.

The combination of maize (known as fubá de milho) and citrus peel imparts a fragrant floral nose and a peppery finish. While the copper distillation gives Fubá its characteristic subtle mouthfeel with notes of liquorice, almond and green bananas.

The Los Javis story began over three decades ago when Don Javier Mateo I and his wife Doña Gloria built the family’s first distillery (more commonly known as a palenque), with hopes of creating a spirit that embodied the essence of their Oaxacan tradition. Los Javis Mezcal is now the only family-owned and operated mezcal company which exports to the US, Europe and Asia.

Los Javis prides itself on being an environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable company. They reuse the discarded milled fibers from the fermentation process to create all the paper components used to make each label.

PUSSER’S

RUM

Intrepid Spirits are excited to add Pusser’s Rum to the portfolio within the Irish market.

The early blend of Navy Rum was more art than science. The raw rum derived from the contributing stills was stocked in barrels between 160 and 180 proof, too strong to be palatable so dilution after blending was required. The ship’s crew relied on its purser to blend, test, and issue the finished rum at proof. The purser, often referred to as “pusser”, would mix the raw rum with water and add a few black gunpowder grains. If the mixture failed to ignite in the sunlight, the purser would be mocked for watering the rum.

The Painkiller®, a signature cocktail by Pusser’s Rum, is one of four cocktails in the world protected by trademark. Paired with pineapple juice, coconut cream and orange juice, Pusser’s Rum compliments the

NEVER PRETENTIOUS, AND ALWAYS FIRST IN CLASS

sweet flavours in the tiki style cocktail.

With a long and surprisingly smooth finish despite its high alcohol content, Pusser’s Rum has a full, round body and a rich aroma of molasses, toffee and honey, with mild notes of vanilla. The rich flavour of Pusser’s Rum is all natural as no artificial flavourings and colourings are added.

LIC LA REPUB

A GIN

La República Gin is the highest distilled spirit in the world, with production taking place 3,600 meters above sea level in La Paz, Bolivia. The extreme altitude allows for the alcohol and essential oils that are naturally present in the botanicals to distill at a much lower temperature by means of copper pot stills. This cooler temperature requires an 8 hour slow distillation process which results in a beautifully silky distillate.

La República Andina is curated from a total of 16 botanicals. 8 of these are commonly found in gins around the world while the other 8 are said to be native to the high altitude of the Andes. Some of these native botanicals include Locoto Capsicum Pubescens, Quirquiña Prophyllum Ruderale & Tumbo.

La República Amazonica is the first Amazonian gin ever made

and carries a truly wild and floral flavor. Like La República Andina, Amazonica has 16 different botanicals and is cut using the water from the glacial melt water from the Cordillera Real.

Citadelle is made in the ‘Gin de Château’, located in Château de Bonbonnet in southwest France. It was the first ever French artisanal gin, pioneered back in 1996. With a great balance between the freshness of the juniper, the vibrancy of citrus and the exotic taste of spices, Citadelle is made using 19 different botanicals.

Bottled at 44% ABV, it is the only gin in the world that has patented a progressive infusion process where each botanical is infused at a different length of time, according to its own aromatic function. The distillation process occurs in Ferrand copper pot stills and is kept to small batches, ensuring the highest standard of quality in every bottling.

Citadelle has earned over 120 medals from some of the top leading bar awards including “World’s Best Gin”, Brand Innovator of the Year
