Hayman`s 1850 Gin Reserve

$43.99

"Hayman's 1850 Reserve is distilled to a recipe from 1850 and rested for 3-4 weeks in Scotch Whisky barrels following the Gin Palace tradition," according to the team behind Hayman's. "Gin has never had an age statement. However, in the 1850s, gin was transported, stored and served in wooden barrels rather than a bottle. Drinking establishments, called Gin Palaces were common place all over London and gin was served from the barrel. Hayman's 1850 Reserve is distilled in batches of 5,000 bottles and each bottle is individually numbered alongside the batch number."

Hayman's Sloe Gin

$39.99

A must for cocktail aficionados and history buffs! "Hayman's Sloe Gin is a traditional English liqueur made to a long standing family recipe. Wild hand-picked sloe berries, a type of wild plum, are handpicked in the autumn after the first frosts from the blackthorn tree," according to the family behind Hayman's. "The early frosts lock in the vital sugary plum notes that define Hayman's Sloe Gin. The sloe berries are gently steeped for several months with Hayman's Gin before blended with natural sugars. The final blend is a rich ruby red liqueur bursting with smooth and intense bitter sweet fruit flavours. Sloe Gin has been a popular drink from the 19th Century onwards as a digestive and winter warmer and was a required bar item during the first cocktail era in the 1880s."

Nichol Syrah

$55.99

World-renowned wine critic Jancis Robinson named the Nichol Vineyard Syrah among her top 25 in BC when she visited the region in 2009.  We agree! The first Syrah was planted at the estate in 1989, and the balance of the site's 5.5 acres were planted in 1990. The wine that comes from these vineyards is full-bodied, with red to dark berry, damson plum and sage notes. One that should age quite nicely, too!
