One of Bowmore's rarest most exceptional bottlings

Sweet and round with a hint of grapefruit and pineapple, and a creamy finish. Perfect for adding extra depth to traditional Tequila cocktails.

Chivas Regal Extra 13 Blended Scotch Whisky

Selectively finished in Tequila casks for extra smoothness

Matured for 18 years in two types of oak casks – American and European – both seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. American oak imparts delicate flavours of vanilla, citrus and butterscotch, the European adds subtle spice.

Distinctive single malt with sweetness and warmth

Blending Hotel Chocolat's signature chocolate with punchy vodka and just the right amount of delicately sweet cream, this indulgent drink has a silky smooth finish.

Hotel Chocolat Velvetised Chocolate Cream 50cl

Smooth and decadent with deep cacao notes

Scotch whisky aged for 27 years in a single ex-bourbon oak barrel and then bottled at its peak. Although initially fresh and delicate, this is a heavy whisky, with toffee apple and tropical fruit flavours, all balanced by the wonderfully long finish.

On the QT: The Whisky Edition Auchentoshan 27-Year-Old Single Malt

Only 141 bottles remained after the 'angels took their share' from the barrel

Plums are macerated in Ginjo sake for six months then aged in enamel tanks for two years. Serve it straight, chilled or on the rocks with spicy dishes – or pour over vanilla ice cream or sorbet.

No.1 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico, Veneto, Italy, Alc vol:14.50%

This powerful, fruity and well-structured red has fine tannins and a lasting finish. Fantastic with rich lamb dishes.

No.1 Douro Valley Reserva Quinta de la Rosa, Douro, Portugal, Alc vol:14.00%

This has been crafted exclusively with the respected CVNE family winery. Rich, smooth and elegant, it’s full of smooth, juicy, red berry flavours on a soft mattress of elegant and integrated oak bringing notes of mocha and baking spices in balance with the fruit. A great wine to serve with slow-cooked lamb or game.

No.1 CVNE Reserva Rioja, Rioja, Spain, Alc vol:13.50%

Exceptional wines made in collaboration with gifted winemakers

Expertly chosen wines to pour and swirl this spring, including an organic Portuguese red and a French Crémant popular with our customers.

The Spring Special Case of 15

This blend, from the renowned gravel vineyards of the Médoc, is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon – which gives it a lovely blackcurrant flavour. Goes with grilled meats and the ooziest cheeses.

Baron des Cours Médoc, France, Alc vol: 13%

From the only wine producer in Portugal to be certified as a B Corp, this is an organic wine worth drinking. With an alluring scent of rock roses and thyme, it’s plummy and just a tad peppery. Goes with anything on the barbecue.

Altano Organic Douro Red, Portugal, Alc vol: 13.5%

Spring scents of jasmine and rose petals introduce a refreshing wine, where luscious white peach meets zesty citrus. Goes with spicy curries or picky bits.

Paul Mas Reserve Languedoc Blanc, France, Alc vol: 13%

This three-grape blend is among our most popular bottles of bubbly. Mouth-wateringly dry and biscuity with a hint of citrus, it’s like Champagne – except with a Prosecco price tag. Goes with seafood and party nibbles.

Cuvée Royale Brut Crémant de Limoux, France, Alc vol: 12.5%

Rosorange, a crossbreed rosé and orange wine, is a trend that isn't going away any time soon. And this one tastes as good as it looks, with flavours of candied citrus peel. Goes with nibbles, spicy Indian dishes and good company.

Côté Mas Rosorange, France, Alc vol: 12.5%

A high percentage of Merlot adds smoothness and structure – with fragrant floral aromas, layers of black-fruit flavour and spicy notes. Aged in 50% new oak for 18 months. Great ageing potential.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse-de-Lalande 2018

Critically acclaimed classic Claret from a Second Growth Pauillac estate

The ripe fruit of the marula tree is picked during the height of the South African summer. It's then distilled into liquor and added to the highest-quality cream to make this delicious and unusual liqueur.

Amarula Cream Liqueur

Rich liqueur from the fruit of the marula tree

From old vines on a historic Bordeaux left bank estate, this exceptional Cabernet-based blend can be left to age for more than 40 years in the cellar. Medium to full bodied, it has real length on the palate.

Château Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville 2018

Velvety black-fruit flavours with spicy hints and firm tannins.

Tamdhu 12-Year-Old Speyside Single Malt Whisky

Iced cinnamon rolls, fresh sweet oak and a hint of mint on the nose

Originally from Bordeaux where it is still known as "Cot", Malbec has flourished halfway across the world in Argentina. The Andes-fresh winds and long hours of sunshine coax the very best from this now hugely popular grape.

Magnificent Malbecs 12 Bottle Case

This wine has all the powerful, concentrated black fruit, open texture and complex earthy backbone that are characteristic of Malbec grapes grown in Cahors. Clos Triguedina is recognised as one of the finest of Cahors’ estates and winemaker Jean-Luc Baldès is renowned for his mastery of this variety. Delicious with richly sauced meat dishes.

Jean-Luc Baldès Malbec du Clos Cahors, France, Alc vol:13.50%

A concentrated, deep violet, cherry-flavoured Malbec with remarkable complexity and length thanks to careful selection of grapes in the vineyard, and again in the winery. Flichman has superb sites around the city of Mendoza, getting tremendous quality into the bottle. Try this with braised lamb shanks.

Finca Flichman Reserve Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:13.50%

This soft, easy-drinking Malbec has partial and subtle oak ageing, leaving the emphasis on the fruit rather than heavyweight complexity. The silky palate, with spice, damson and black cherry flavours, is lightly balanced with some chocolate tones on the finish. Enjoy with pasta or try with Oriental dishes.

Santa Julia Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:13.50%

The plum and raspberry aromas of this bright crimson red mingle elegantly with vanilla notes from six months spent in French and American oak.

Trivento Malbec Mendoza, Argentina, Alc vol:14.00%

Indulgent expressions of the red grape of the moment

There's a maritime character on the nose, with gentle floral, dry malt and heather notes. The palate is rich, with some coastal notes, spice and smoky character.

Simply the richest, most impressively indulgent reds in our collection

The Macallan Classic Cut Single Malt Whisky

Exceptional single malt with fresh pear and almond biscotti flavours.

Dark garnet in colour, this Cabernet-led blend has aromas of black fruit, violets and spice with succulent fruit flavours, creamy tannins and fresh, mineral notes. Drink it young or in several years' time.

Château Pontet-Canet 2018
