Koko Kanu Coconut Rum , 70cl

We dare you to try a classic Pina Colada without a sharp dash of pineapple syrup. Yes, you could opt for juice or fresh fruit but Monin Pineapple syrup has a sweet, juicy flavour and you’re immediately hit with the scent of freshly ripened pineapples, refreshing and tart. You can combine the syrup with much more than your favourite Pina Coladas too, try it in a rum cocktail or pop it into a Long Island Ice Tea for something a little different from the norm.

In its striking bottle with its marmalade orange hues, Bulleit bourbon is high in rye which helps add real spice to its character. Award winning and becoming more and more popular, Bulleit has a pungent nose awash with orange and oak notes, as well as a hint of smoke and even a little banana. The flavour is creamy and full-bodied, zesty on the palate with orange and lime notes and then oaky tobacco comes through, enjoyable and warm.

Not for the faint-hearted Wray & Nephew Overproof is one of Jamaica’s finest spirits and packs a punch as soon as you open the bottle. A Jamaican legend, Wray & Nephew is essential for a classic Caribbean Mai Tai and it’s also the secret ingredient which many cocktail masters use to finish their drinks with a flourish. Crystal clear and powerfully sharp on the tongue Wray & Nephew Overproof is one of Jamaica’s finest exports and is perfectly paired with tropical fruit juice cocktails.

Monin Cacao White Liqueur was produced to give bartenders and mixologists the true taste of chocolate without the deep brown hues to effect the colour and appearance of their drinks. Monin Cacao White Liqueur actually combines the dairy richness of milk chocolate and white chocolate too, delivering a flavour which is rich in cocoa bean bitterness and vanilla sweetness. A long cocoa finish is deliciously moreish.

Relaunched in 2013, Black Bottle Blended Scotch whisky now features a balanced mix of fruitiness and spice alongside the peaty Islay notes that the brand has been known for. This change in direction is a return to Black Bottle's past, as it is said to have been inspired by what the whisky was like when it was made all the way back in 1879. This has also inspired the new old-style black glass bottle, which gave the whisky its name.

Maraschino Luxardo is a classic Italian liqueur and is presented in it's traditional way, rafia covered bottle and all. The clear hues hide a flavour which is simply bursting with maraska cherries and a typically pungent aroma in which the cherries seem to invite you to take that first sip. Smooth on the palate initially, leading into a sharpness which is short lived but satisfying. It’s the aroma of this one which will have you back for another sip, lingering long after tasting.

Bumbu Rum is based on a recipe dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, used by pirates and merchants as a better-tasting alternative to the grog the Royal Navy served its men. This modern interpretation takes sugarcane from eight Caribbean countries before distilling at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados. The rum is matured in former bourbon casks for up to fifteen years and blended with all natural native Caribbean spices and pure Bajan water filtered through the coral limestone rocks of the island. No artificial flavours or colours are added. On the nose, aromas of banana are prominent, with cinnamon and vanilla sweetness. To taste, the mature rum and natural spices bring a rich complexity. Sweet and smooth, a big hit of vanilla is followed by orange peel, banana and mango. Subtle fresh herbal notes and a touch of dry tobacco come through with the spices making this an excellent spiced sipper.

The Godfather of cherry liqueurs, Heering Cherry Brandy is made to a recipe which dates back to the early 19th century and spends three years maturing before being bottled and this delivers a flavour which truly represents the sweet succulence of the cherry. One of the original ingredients for the first ever Singapore Sling, Heering Cherry Brandy is made from natural ingredients, locally sourced Danish cherries and is genuinely the original cherry brandy.

Havana Club is one of Cuba’s crowning glories and Havana Club Especial Anejo is a warm golden rum which is an absolute essential for the perfect Cuba Libre. Woodiness from the maturation process is present in every sip and deep notes of spice, citrus fresh orange and floral vivacity come through to add an additional face to the rum’s flavour profile. Rounded to the last drop, a truly classic Cuban rum.
