Tasting Notes: Huyghe Brewery produces Delirium Tremens in Melle, Belgium. Delirium Tremens is a medical term that refers to severe symptoms alcoholics can experience during withdrawal such as tremors, confusion, and hallucinations. The beer’s name (and pink elephant logo) is an allusion to these symptoms. ABV: 8.5% According to legend, in an attempt to give the brand new, nameless brew a proper moniker, a Belgian tax collector felt himself gradually slipping into a state of unexpected drunkenness and declared that he would get delirium tremens if he continued drinking the brew. The name stuck. Delirium Tremens recently won Gold at the Frankfurt International Trophy competition in 2021 and captured Gold at the 2020 World Beer Awards held in the United Kingdom. The brewery’s other beers have also won multiple awards. Made using three different types of yeast, aromas include citrus, pear, banana and honey with a big hit of spice and bread. Taste follows the nose with lemon, pear and apricot, coriander, candy sugar, clove and white pepper.

Tasting Notes: New fact for me, bourbon does not have to be exclusively from Kentucky and the Smoke Wagon is a great example of one from Las Vegas. Winning gold in both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Ascot Awards just two years after its release, this bourbon is exactly what you expect of something out of Vegas- big and powerful but also quite smooth and complex. Although its name might say otherwise, it is not very smokey but rather full of the caramel and honey with a long peppercorn and toasted nutty finish curtesy of its high rye mash. 46.25% and 92.5 proof, this award winner is great however you drink your whiskey- it makes its presence well known!

Tasting Notes: The magic of the marriage of three different wood casks come to its splendour when our malts are matured in ex-bourbon, ex-french wine and ex-sherry casks. It embellishes our malt with the finest shade of Amber, whiff of caramelized pineapple, vanilla, hints of black tea, raisins & citrus and subtle nuttiness. The smoothness and flavour linger long after the glass has been put aside. Trini, The three wood was conceptualised based on the individual contribution of each wood without overshadowing the original whisky profile which is light fruity with sweet vanilla and spice, a subtle nuttiness to chew on with a medium to reasonably long finish. Nose: Gentle and mellow on the nose. Hints of black tea, caramelised pineapple with a whiff of oak comes forward, followed by vanilla and honey from the bourbon oak and traces of spiced tannins from the European oak, finally topped up with vinous raisin and sweet sherry notes. Palate: Elegant richness, smooth and warm on the sides of the mouth. Gentle spice and woody characteristics. Finish: A subtle and balanced finish, each flavour compliments the other without dominating each other.

Tasting Notes: The Te Muna Road vineyard consists of two distinct soil types — the sauvignon blanc grows on a lower terrace over stony soils sprinkled with limestone, perfect for developing expressive and complex Sauvignon Blanc.
