Talisker
10 Years Old (45.8% ABV)
The quintessential expression from Skye’s
original distillery. Peppery and spicy, with
a pleasant touch of sulphur. Gentle wood
smoke is interwoven with notes of apple
and roasted pineapple. Well deserving of
its reputation.Forager's Cordial No.1
Add a selection of foraged botanicals
(nettle, pine needle, grape leaf, hawthorn
blossom, wild rhubarb and dandelion
petals) to a simple syrup. Bring to boil and
then simmer to infuse flavours. Balance
with champagne acid. Strain to remove
solids, allow to cool and bottle.Rhubarb and verjus cordial
Created by extracting juice of stewed
rhubarb and mixing with verjus, the tart,
fresh juice of unripe wine grapes. Verjus
Blanc is available by the bottle from
specialist drinks stores. Take equal parts,
mix and add sugar syrup over a low heat to
taste. Allow to cool and bottle.Forager's Fizz Hot Toddy Orchard Harvest
