Roberto Cavalli Vodka Gold edition is a new version of the personalized bottles specifically designed for the nightlife lovers.
Roberto Cavalli Vodka Gold edition sparks and glitters from afar, giving a spectacular show when it stands on the exclusive tables of the most prestigious clubs.
The effect is generated by the special metal coating which decorates and covers all the bottle.
This process is carried out by special machineries which take advantage of the absence of pressure and of the electrostatic force to transfer the particles of the metal film onto the surface already covered by a special paint. Metallization ends after treating the surface again with transparent varnishes.
The amazing result is a surface with mirror effect, absolutely not reproducible with other printing techniques.

The art of alchemy in this magnificent drink reflects the spirit of creation and innovation in every drop of Rodnik’s Absinthe Bohemian Blue. A spirit capable of transforming emotions into joy and happiness. Anise-flavored alcohol
Absinthe Rodnik’s Cannabis differs from traditional absinthe for two main reasons. First, it is produced in Spain and includes an unmistakable Mediterranean twist thanks to the addition of local plants to the recipe. Second, it incorporates cannabis in its distillation which flavours the absinthe with a distinctive taste of hemp. While Absinthe Rodnik’s Cannabis does not have similar effects to cannabis, the alcohol content of the green fairy remains high as ever.
Rodnik is an absinthe from Spain.
Rodnik’s absinthe has a softer anise aroma than it’s French homonym, which makes it ideal for long drinks and cocktails. Rodnik became the first Spaniard to redevelop the making of absinthe.
Rodnik’s Absinthe is an authentic Absinthe distilled in Spain from the finest Mediterranean plants and herbs. High in wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) content, it is aromatic and smooth to the taste.

A 12 year old was distillery at the Lochnagar distillery, once visited by Queen Victoria when she was staying at nearby Balmoral.
The limited-edition Scotch you see here is Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old, a Highland stalwart from a distillery that was said to be a favourite of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and is conveniently situated close to Balmoral Castle. Combined with its proximity to Cairngorms National Park, an area that contains one quarter of Scotland’s native forest and plenty of deer, it’s little wonder that it was paired with House Baratheon, a house with plenty of royal connections and whose sigil features a rampant stag.
Keeping with tradition, Royal Salute will launch the Royal Salute Diamond Jubilee Limited Edition to celebrate the Queen’s 60 year reign. Originally, Chivas Brothers first created Royal Salute as a tribute to the finest aged Scotch whiskies to Queen Elizabeth II, to celebrate her coronation in 1953. Indeed, 2,500 initial decanters were filled on the day of her coronation, the 2nd of June 1953. She’s the only the second monarch to do so, and it has not been seen since King Charles II reign over 400 years ago.
The very rare bottle is made from hand-blown and hand-cut crystal decanter and is finished with a show-stopping solid cut crystal stopper. Presented in a hand-crafted display box, the striking royal-blue whisky bottle retails.
The Diamond Jubilee will be celebrated in London and the Royal Salute Diamond Jubilee is a limited edition bottle that will only be available in 2012 during the Jubilee celebrations.
Royal Salute 21 Year is an homage by Chivas Regal to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. At 21 years, it is also the youngest in the Royal Salute line-up. Why 21 years old you might ask? 21 is an important designation as it refers to the 21-gun-salute, for generations a form of honor and respect to sovereigns and dignitaries. Be aware that there are 3 different colors for the ceramic decanters (sapphire, ruby, and emerald), but the spirit is the same.

Sherry-matured Braeval and American oak Glenburgie bring richness and complexity to the mix, with layers of dried fruit, baking spice, and toasted nuts.

The Royal Salute Jodhpur Edition pays tribute to the majestic polo arena that is Jodhpur. A city known for its striking sapphire-coloured houses that form ‘the Blue City’, and richly adorned palaces housing polo grounds. Polo and Jodhpur have shared a very strongbond since the 19th century – nostalgically called ‘the Golden Age of Polo’ and the ‘Sports of Kings’ has been greatly influenced by the Royal traditions of Rajasthan.
As a glorious celebration of this majestic arena, Royal Salute’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop has created a unique 21YO blend reminiscent of the rich spices and flavour notes that can be found in the region, using a combination of carefully curated malt whiskies dully finished in virgin oak casks. The result is a golden blend, rich and velvety smooth.

Only the best grapes are selected for this wine. 92 Points Wine Spectator, 92 Points Decanter.

The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and inspired by the intuition of a monk well ahead of his time
THE FIRST CHAMPAGNE HOUSE
On September 1st 1729, in Reims, at the heart of the Champagne region, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart, creating the world’s first ever champagne-producing company.
This gave rise to an enterprise that continues to flourish and to prosper nearly three hundred years later.
The intuition of his uncle, the monk who had first shown him the way, had thus inspired an initiative that was to make history.

A sure-fire hit from Ableforth’s, Rumbullion! is a cockle-warming spiced concoction, based on the kind of rich, full-bodied rums the seafaring fraternity would have enjoyed centuries ago.
At the core of this fabulous winter warmer lies a blend of the very finest high proof Caribbean rum, to which was added creamy Madagascan vanilla and a generous helping of zesty orange peel. A secret recipe was followed, finished with a handful of cassia and cloves and just a hint of cardamom.
Château de Saint Cosme is the leading estate of Gigondas and produces the benchmark wines of the appellation. The property has been in the hands of the Barruol family since 1570. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992 making a dramatic shift to quality and converting to biodynamics in 2010.
The estate lies in the heart of Gigondas where 15 hectares of vineyard grow in the shade of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain. In addition to the estate-grown wines labeled “Château de Saint Cosme,” Louis Barruol buys grapes from contracted growers, labeling these “négociant” wines simply as “Saint Cosme.”
Côte-Rôtie is produced from 100% Sérine, an ancient and local variety of Syrah that is markedly different from modern selections. It is more oval, with lots of space in the bunch, resulting in a very aromatic wine. It is sourced from the schist soils of Le Plomb, Besset, La Viallière, and Neve climats. These hillsides are among the steepest in France with an incline as much as 55 degrees. The wine is made with whole cluster fermentation from indigenous yeasts, aged for 12 months in 40% new 228-liter barrels, and bottled without fining or filtration.
The Saint-Vivant Armagnac has a rich tradition dating back to 1559, when Saint-Vivant de la Salle produced the first bottle. The famous bottle “twisted” reproduces the original bottles used by Saint Vivant. The house uses Saint Vivant wines selected exclusively from the region of Gascony. These wines are distilled in traditional copper stills, and the resulting alcohol is aged in oak casks. The cellar master of Saint Vivant then starts the complex process of mixing the various distillates aged in order to get the final blend that makes this brand one of the most respected Armagnac in the world.
A subtle blend of high-quality Armagnacs that have aged for at least five years in oak casks, SAINT-VIVANT NAPOLEON is distinguished by its copper colour and its delicate, refined aromas of plum, blackberry and dried fruits.
This right here is a rare bottle of St. Vivant VSOP Armagnac. The unique bottle shape is said to mimic those used by St. Vivant when he made Armagnac back in the 1500s. It’s very interesting, to say the least.
Salt & Stone – The Story Behind the Name
Salt & Stone is a journey through Cyprus, a land where the sea meets the mountains, and where tradition blends with innovation to create something truly unique. The name itself—Salt & Stone—is a tribute to two defining elements of the island. Salt, carried by the Mediterranean breeze, represents the coastal spirit of Cyprus, its golden beaches, and the sea’s enduring influence. Stone, shaped by time and nature, embodies the rugged mountains, ancient landscapes, and the deep-rooted traditions of the island. Together, they tell the story of contrast and balance—just like our gin.
A Taste of Cyprus in Every Drop
Crafted with 30 carefully selected botanicals, Salt & Stone captures the diverse aromas and flavors of Cyprus. From the sun-kissed citrus groves of the coast to the wild herbs and blossoms of the Troodos Mountains, every sip reflects the island’s rich biodiversity. This is not just a gin, it’s an experience of Cyprus in liquid form.
Time-Honoured Craft
Our botanicals are gently macerated for 96 hours in high-strength spirit before being distilled in a traditional copper pot still. Such complexity demands time, and so the spirit is allowed to rest for 120 days — untouched, unfiltered, and undisturbed. When ready, it is delicately diluted and bottled in its purest form, capturing every note of character nature intended.

Honeyed single estate rum from Venezuela with elements of bitter chocolate, nuts and buttery biscuits. It is made, unusually for a rum, through the solera process: casks of different aged rums are stacked vertically, the oldest (aged around 35 years) at the bottom, and as the distiller draws rum from one cask they top it up with younger liquid from the blend.
Santi Pinot Grigio Sortesele (750 ml): Santi Pinot Grigio Sortesele is a bright and refreshing white wine from Italy. It offers flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus, with bright acidity and a clean finish. This Pinot Grigio pairs well with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. Serve well-chilled to enjoy its fresh and lively character.

Tuscan wine royalty, Tenuta San Guido, releases Sassicaia 2021, the latest vintage of its true iconic flagship wine this February. The 2021, available through importers Armit Wines, has been eagerly anticipated following favourable vintage conditions on the rolling slopes of Bolgheri, towards Tuscany’s stunning western coastline. We sent The Buyer’s very own Italophile, Mike Turner, to taste the wines with Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta and find out more about what proves to be another much sought-after triumph for the team at Tenuta San Guido.
The Sassicaia 2021 Bolgheri Sassicaia of Tenuta San Guido was obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) grapes raised in the prestigious DOC of the same name which is located within Tenuta San Guido, located in the territory of Bolgheri (LI). The vineyards of origin are situated on calcareous soils rich in marl, stones and stones (which give the wine its name) and partly clayey, located at an altitude between 100 and 300 metres above sea level. For this red-masterpiece, the alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature between 28° and 30° C without the addition of external yeasts. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barriques (for 1/3 new wood and for the remainder of the first and second passage) where it was aged for 24 months, keeping the masses separated by vineyard origin. The assembly was in fact carried out only close to bottling. Before release, Sassicaia 2021 rested for a certain period of time in the bottle.

The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine’s strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience.
A bit shy aromatically, this concentrated red exhibits flavors of black currant, black cherry, blackberry, tobacco and sweet spices that show a hint of eucalyptus, with assertive tannins that take hold as this evolves through the finish. Although closed and compact at this stage, this is balanced, fresh and long overall. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar.
88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, harvested throughout September. 13–15 days’ maceration. Aged for 23 months in French oak barriques (225 litres). TA 6.1 g/l, pH 3.45, RS 0.25 g/l. See my earlier note. This bottle presented by a Frenchman!
Transparent crimson. Savoury, balsam, appetising nose. Much drier (as opposed to sweet) than the other wines here. Strong French influence on the reticent structure. Lots of fresh tannin currently dominates the fruit but the fruit is pretty nuanced and interesting. But it’s still extremely youthful. The most youthful wine here. Aerate before serving for many years. (JR)
The 2022 Sassicaia is a very pretty, expressive wine. There’s a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon (and less Franc) in this year’s blend, and that really comes through in the wine’s flavor profile and slightly bruising tannins. Dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, graphite and incense give the 2022 striking aromatic presence to match its rather brooding personality. There’s a bit of tension in the tannins that needs time to resolve. Yields were down about 20% because of intensely cold weather in spring, variable conditions during flowering and set, and then searing heat and drought throughout the summer.
The 2022 Sassicaia is a deeper, youthful magenta/red color with a slightly deeper aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage, mossy earth, and fresh black cherries. The palate has slightly broader shoulders but remains elegant. It has more plushness on the mid-palate, while its acidity shines through with the finish. It will need several years to shed its baby fat and show its full potential.
Sazerac Straight Rye is named for the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, birthplace of the famous – and sublime – Sazerac cocktail. The Coffee House was acquired by Thomas H Handy, owner also of Peychaud’s Bitters. Originally, he sold bottles of the Sazerac cocktail, which was originally made with Cognac. Today, this glorious libation is produced at the Buffalo Trace distillery.
From a tiny distillery in Orkney, Scapa is often overlooked in favour of its more famous neighbour Highland Park. This 14yo was quite a shortlived bottling -it was introduced by then new owners Chivas Brothers to replace the old 12yo, but was subsequently superseded by the now-familiar 16 year old standard official bottling.
Scapa released this 16 year old expression in 2008 to replace the popular 14 year old. Highly regarded in its time, the 16 year old was discontinued in 2015.
The initially controversial 16yo official expression of Scapa is now winning people round with a jump in quality after a few wobbly years following the rapid transition from the much-loved 12yo via the short-lived 14yo. Orkney’s less shouted about (but still lovely in its own way) malt whisky has found its feet

Scottish Glory is a great value-for-money blend produced in Scotland. It is aged for three years before bottling.
After batches one, and two, and three, and four, and five, it’s time for a sixth batch of the superbly delicious Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 10 Year Old! Hailing from an undisclosed Islay distillery, 25% of this single malt enjoyed a stay in sherry casks, imparting a satisfying sweetness to the robustly smoky, earthy whisky. Weighing in at 55.6% ABV, there’s plenty of added depth and intensity to be found in this full-bodied cask strength expression… you might like to punctuate with a dash of water or a cube of ice to open up all that flavour.
Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 10 Year Old (Batch 08) Whisky (70cl, 56.3%)
After batches one, and two, and three, and four, and five, and sixth and seven it’s time for eight batch of the superbly delicious Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire & Cask Strength 10 Year Old! Hailing from an undisclosed Islay distillery, 25% of this single malt enjoyed a stay in sherry casks, imparting a satisfying sweetness to the robustly smoky, earthy whisky. Weighing in at 56.3% ABV, there’s plenty of added depth and intensity to be found in this full-bodied cask strength expression… you might like to punctuate with a dash of water or a cube of ice to open up all that flavour.
Back with a five batch, a superb cask-strength whisky joins the ampersand-laden Seaweed & Aeons collection. This edition of the revered Islay single-malt spent ten years maturing, with the full batch enjoying an additional finish in sherry casks. Not only that – the whisky was then bottled at a hearty cask strength of 54.9%. So you get bonus ampersands, bonus sherry, and bonus ABV here, this whisky really does have it all and more.
Peat and sherry is a great combo, though sometimes it can be a bit like a shouting match between a foghorn and a washing machine full of pots and pans. Thankfully, this one shows off a welcome harmony between the two. It’s a marvellous variation of Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt, though instead of just 25% of it being finished in sherry casks, the entirety of the whisky was finished in them. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile.
This right here is a 10-year-old single malt from an undisclosed distillery on Islay, with 25% of it having been finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, and bestowed the decidedly descriptive name Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire. If those four words (and three ampersands) aren’t quite enough of an explanation of what this expression is all about, here are a few more: stripped-back, smoky, complex, a bit sherried, balanced, coastal. Yeah, that should do it. Great for people who love uncompromising Islay whisky and sans-serif fonts.

That Boutique-y Rum Company has bottled up a stunner here, hailing from an undisclosed Australian distillery. It’s given us a few clues – we know that the distillery is located in Queensland, it’s Australia’s oldest operating distillery, and it isn’t Bundaberg. That should give the rum Columbos out there something to work with.
Produced from Queensland molasses, fermented for 12 days before distillation, the rum was filled into a selection of American oak vats and casks in September 2007, where it remained for ten years. Towards the end of 2017, the rum was transported to the UK and filled into a fresh bourbon cask for its final four years.
The label features a marvellous boat with a distillery on board, it’s exactly the sort of unusual scene we’d expect to see on a Boutique-y label, but this time it isn’t made up! The S.S Walrus was a floating sugar mill that could be found sailing Queensland’s Albert and Logan rivers in the late 1800s, with its owner using excess molasses to produce rum.
Batch 1 is a release of 420 bottles.

The Sexton Irish Whiskey has introduced its first-ever line extension with an 11-Year-Old Single Malt, available exclusively through global travel retail. This meticulously crafted whiskey highlights a fusion of Irish tradition and modern innovation, drawing inspiration from the rugged landscapes of Northern Ireland’s North Coast.
Crafted from 100% Irish malted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills, the whiskey is aged in Oloroso sherry-soaked French oak barrels for at least 11 years. This unique maturation imparts notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, toasted oak, and nuts, delivering a rich and complex flavor profile.
Bottled at 43% ABV, the whiskey is presented in The Sexton’s distinctive black hexagonal bottle, concealing a deep mahogany liquid that reflects the care and precision of its production. Priced at €41 duty-free per 700ml, the release is set to debut at Dublin and Cork airports in January 2025, with further distribution planned across travel retail hubs later in the year.
The 11-Year-Old Single Malt is the vision of Master Blender Alex Thomas, known for her innovative approach to Irish whiskey. Thomas emphasized the importance of experimentation, noting that this whiskey captures the essence of The Sexton while amplifying its flavors through sherry cask aging.
Thomas shared, “This new expression balances the signature dried fruits, dark chocolate, and rich fruit cake notes with an added depth of flavor. It’s a liquid I laid down over 11 years ago, knowing it would become something truly remarkable.”
The casks were sourced from the Antonio Paez Labato family bodega in Jerez, Spain, renowned for producing Oloroso sherry barrels that contribute to the whiskey’s nutty and spiced aroma, as well as its layered and indulgent palate.
This new release builds on the acclaim of The Sexton Original Single Malt, which earned a double gold medal at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The 11-Year-Old Single Malt continues the brand’s evolution, designed to appeal to both seasoned whiskey enthusiasts and newcomers to the category.
A creamy, sweet liqueur made with a combination of Black Irish whiskey, Irish spirit, caramel and vanilla. The result is aromas of toffee, butter, cream, vanilla and sweet spices that are echoed throughout the palate.
