Dictador 20 Year Old Rum
$93.99
Named in honour of Severo Arango y Ferro, a Spaniard who was sent to Colombia to establish commercial trading between the two countries. He was good at his job, but ruthless, earning the nickname "Dictador."

A new captivating packaging and a precious decanter, colourful and lively, for the new and improved release of our sweet and soft Panama rum aged for 18 years. The richness of sugar cane and the finesse of Spanish style distillation give life to a light-bodied rum with a great aromatic complexity, caressing and easy to drink, rich on tropical fruits, dates and chocolate. A slightly winey touch and a hint of orange peel give fragrance and freshness to the sweetness of the rum.

Bedford Park Jamaica 2014
$209.99
From the Producer
This 10-year-old rum from an unnamed distillery in breathtaking Trelawny in Jamaica, known for its flavourful pot still heavy rums, was distilled in 2014 and matured at origin, before being transferred to Europe in 2019 where it further matured for almost five years in an American oak (ex-rum) cask.
The label is designed by Toronto-based artist Elise Conlin, whose early work while studying at the Ontario College of Art & Design caught our eye. We are excited that she agreed to lend her talents to a series of labels, aptly named “Shady Grove”, for our first releases.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 239 bottles at a cask strength of 66.8% ABV.
Sipsmith Gin
$52.99
For years we tried to get this gin in market to no avail, and then one day it just showed up. Seems a big multinational bought it, so the good new is its here, and at a more reasonable price than originally suspected.
From the Producer: Sipsmith: the first copper pot distillery in London for nearly two hundred years! Sipsmith London Dry Gin was born out of a desire to see gin production return to the city where it earned its name. With a nod to traditional hand crafted production, their gin combines traditional copper pot distillation with a recipe that wouldn't look unfamiliar to an eighteenth century Master Distiller. London Dry Gin is the quintessential expression of a classic London Dry Gin. Bold, complex and aromatic - smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T.
Copper Stilled in Small Batches: Every drop of alcohol that goes into a bottle of Sipsmith has been distilled in copper. Copper draws out the impurities and cleanses the spirit. It’s what makes Sipsmith spirits so incredibly smooth.
One Shot Method: One of the only gins in the world to use the “One-Shot Method”, meaning we use exactly the right amount of botanicals in our distillation so that we only need to add water to bring it down to bottling strength. 99% of gins are made using a concentrate which is diluted with neutral grain spirit and water. This neutral alcohol has had no contact with copper nor the botanicals so it produces a harsher, less balanced gin.
Hand Cut: We only ever retain a tight heart cut (the highest quality) of the liquid which is cut by hand. Much like a fine single malt, it’s what delivers our uncompromising quality of spirit.
Gin Mare
$53.99
A Mediterranean gin produced in an old chapel in Vilanova, just outside Barcelona in Catalonia. 94pts Beverage Tasting Institute.
From the Producer: "Gin Mare has long been the reference point for a gin that’s pushed the boundary of what a gin could taste like, with rosemary, thyme, olive, and basil included in the botanical line up – it’s savoury and unusual, but balanced. It’s a Spanish Gin made in Spain – something that in due time will help them establish themselves in one of the world’s biggest gin markets.
"Made in the small Spanish fishing town of Vilanova, just outside the city of Barcelona, Gin Mare epitomises the Mediterranean spirit.
"The pot still used to create Gin Mare is housed in a chapel in a property that was once a monk’s retreat. Cue Holy “Spirit” puns… Purchased in the 1950’s by the Giro Ribot family to house it’s growing business, they managed to combine utility with a characterful location; space to distil but adorned with a fresco. Who said anything about compromising?"
