The Glenlivet 15 Year Old distinctively rich character is the result of a selective maturation process, as a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. The Glenlivet was one of the first distilleries to use French Oak in the whisky making process, a technique that has since been imitated by many others. Limousin Oak, which is cut in the Dordogne region of France, is often used to mature fine wines and cognacs. Its low density allows the spirit to penetrate deep into the wood, and we carefully control how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower the desired result: a unique, pleasing spiciness.

Product History
Martell Cordon Bleu Extra is a tribute to Martell’s most iconic cognac – a respectful reinterpretation that is also an invitation to explore a classic and discover intriguing new
dimensions.
The celebrated smoothness of Martell Cordon Bleu is attributed to the influence of rare, highly sought-after eaux-de-vie from the small Borderies cru, which represents just 5% of cognac vineyards. For Martell Cordon Bleu Extra, Martell has added an especially generous portion of very old Borderies spirits to create an even more sumptuous taste – smooth and sensual, intense and harmonious.
For the House icon, Martell Cordon Bleu, renowned as a rich expression of the rare Borderies terroir, Mathilde de L'Ecotais overlaid an image of grapes and vines leaves with sweeping circular brush strokes to evoke the famously round, generous flavours of this legendary cognac. The Martell Cordon Bleu bottle, transformed by sumptuous tones of gold and blue, is presented on a pedestal with a luxurous case, emphasizing its iconic status.
Absolut Vodka is a Swedish vodka made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. In fact Absolut is as clean as vodka can be. Still, it has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit.
Product Info
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as Absolut. Just as then, Absolut is produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith’s birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way Absolut is made won’t change, neither will the true taste of vodka
ABSOLUT ELYX is manually distilled in a 1921 copper rectification still known as Column 51, made entirely of copper. It is operated by a selected few who inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of spirit and vodka makers.

The copper naturally catalyzes trace compounds in the spirit, purifying the vodka and adding a highly prized silky texture and taste.
Tasting Note
Nose: Clean, rich, rounded, fresh bread and notes of white chocolate and light cereal and with a deep mellow spice.
Palate: Full bodied, luscious silky mouthfeel with waves of rich macadamia nuts, creamed cereal and garnishes of white chocolate and buttery notes of freshly baked bread. Light fresh nuttiness with a well-balanced hint of mellow spice and pure balanced richness.
Finish: Rounded mellow spice with fresh nuttiness and a well balanced warm smooth finish.
