Cocktail of the month: The last fallen Violet
A light floral gin treat sure to make us feel spring isn’t far away. Subtle notes of violet and Blackcurrant with a sharp lemon zing. Whisky
Whisky of the month: Auchentoshan Valinch
An excellent cask strength edition to the family named Valinch after the giant pippette used to take whisky from casks for tasting. This is a sweet, cinnamon, full bodied, orangey delight sure to make you warm on the frosty nights. Beer
Beer of the month: Innis & Gunn Rum Cask
Matured in ex navy rum oak casks for a minimum of 60 days you can certainly tell the rum affinity from the sweet smell, as well as the scrumptious toffee, caramel and oak notes that run through ending in a light vanilla finish.
