Budweiser pours a very pale yellow, lighter than Pilsner. It is quite effervescent and forms a thick head during the pour. The head consists of fairly large bubbles and falls quickly. The nose is virtually nonexistent though some hunting yields the faintest of sweet malt character and just a touch of wood. The flavor was equally subtle. A bland sweetness lingers throughout though a wateriness is dominate. The watery character and effervescence produces a thin mouthfeel with a bit of a sting from the carbonation. The flavor finishes with a faint, lingering sweetness.... » read more

ABV 8%; 12 x 330ml bottles Like most Belgian style Abbey ales this Dubbel (pronounced due-bell) ) is big on flavour and alcohol. When the Belgian monks created this style of beer they took things to the exterme and added double the malt, double the hops and as a result ended up with double the alcohol content compared to other beers. The Holgate Double Trouble is a topshelf beer and drinks like a fine cognac or brandy. With intense raisin, toffee and rum flavours it's best to sip and savour this one. Pairs brilliantly with a cheese platter or sticky-date pudding. Holgate beers are delivered straight from the brewery.... » read more

Paez Morilla make excellent Sherry Vinegar in the solero style Paez Morilla make excellent Sherry Vinegar in the solero style. It is a method of maturation which ensures that each year the sherry vinegar tastes exactly the same as the vinegar of the same type in preceding year. Solera is derived from the Spanish bsuelo b b floor . In the sherry context it means the foundation or final stage of a blend, which is generally the lowest row of butts closest to the floor . A solera system consists of rows of casks of identical vinegar which are fed into successive criaderas (nurseries) of previous years in graduated stages of maturity. When a vinegar is required , a proportion is drawn from the casks at the final solera stage , which are refilled from the first criadera . The first criadera is refilled from the second and so on in a " waterfall " sequence . In this way a " chain of maturity " is achieved. A good shipper runs the system slowly to ensure that the character and average age of the solera remain constant.... » read more

One of the highest of all Highland distilleries, Dalwhinnie produces a welcomingly gentle spirit that's full of character. Smooth and soft with heather, honey and delicate spice, creamy not dry. A single malt with smoothness and depth that benefits from a full 15 year of aging. STRENGTH 43% ABV APPEARANCE Gold. NOSE A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat. BODY Light to medium. PALATE Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread. FINISH Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt. DALWHINNIE DISTILLERS EDITION Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine. Lovers of Dalwhinnie will appreciate the way the fragrance of Oloroso sherry overlays, but does not mask, the heather honey distillery notes. STRENGTH 43% ABV APPEARANCE Pale Amber NOSE Fresh sherry embraces the maltier, more honeyed aspects of Dalwhinnie. Peaty and surprisingly, still heathery. Spicy yet grapy. BODY Light to Medium PALATE A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build up of very clear, well defined malt. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle. FINISH Lots of oak. Very, very dry with vanilla dominating. var gdobj = new gdclass();window.onload = function() {gdobj.init('show0',145);}function introTxt(i) { $(".select").attr('class',''); $("#family_tab_page div").hide(); document.getElementById("a"+i).className='select'; document.getElementById("b"+i).style.display=''; }... » read more

The history of Bundaberg Rum began over one hundred years ago in the Bundaberg sugar cane region of Central Queensland. Bundaberg first began producing commercial sugar in 1872, but the real boom came in the 1880s when Queensland enjoyed a surge of economic growth. With this growth came the problem of what to do with the by-product of molasses after the sugar was extracted. The farmers knew it could be converted into rum and little distilleries cropped up all over Queensland. In 1888, several of the small sugar producers banded together to float a new public company, The Bundaberg Distilling Company. This promptly set about making the product that quickly became Famous for its taste and quality. Grown in the fertile local soil, the finest cane is sent to be milled at the Bundaberg Sugar Mill next door to the distillery. Rich, sweet Molasses is produced, which is then fermented, double distilled, then sealed away to age in Oak vats that to this day are still hand made by a family cooperage. Includes: Bundaberg Rum 700ml; Ferrero Rocher Chocolates 60g - 5pk; Pringles Original 43g; Random Harvest Tomato, Mango & Chilli Salsa 165g; Baylies of Stathalbyn Siena Gourmet Cake 75g; Morish Caramel Coated Peanuts 100g; Pine Wood Hamper Box... » read more
