Wonderful Mother’s Day Gifts – Sunday 27th March 2022
March is always the perfect time of year to celebrate Mother’s Day – spring is here and there are signs of new life appearing around every corner. So how do you say thanks to your Mum for all the years of love, kindness and support? Well this year we have lots of new ideas including gins, vermouths, eaux de vie, grappa and bitters. And three of them are on offer for this month making them even more attractive:
Mosgaard Organic Oak Cask Aged Gin – Cask Gin is based on Mosgaard’s Dry Gin which is distilled and reduced to 60% abv and then aged in old bourbon and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for 8-9 months. The whisky and sherry casks add sweetness, vanilla and caramel notes to the citrus and juniper flavours. Enjoy neat with a cup of coffee, spice it up with Ginger Ale and orange zest or use it in a dry martini.
Nusbaumer – 20 Year Old Reserve Poire William Eau de Vie (Pear) – This pear brandy is made from small, red Williams pears that grow on hillsides with excellent sun exposure and natural irrigation. Native to the Hautes-Alpes, this sun-drenched fruit is particularly juicy and fragrant. The brandy has been aged for 20 years and is one of the best we have tasted. Presented in an antique-style bottle that protects it from the light, it is made in very small batches and the bottle is sealed by hand with wax.
Grape Brandy Jacopo Poli Chiara di Moscato – Jacopo Poli Chiara di Moscato is a single vintage grape brandy from a single variety of grape. It was distilled from the wine made from the White Muscat grapes from the Euganean Hills (Veneto). Distilled in small lots on a ‘bain marie’, it has a sweet flavour with a light touch of citrus fruits.
