"From two key ingredients, organic “Trondelag” potatoes and pure Norwegian water, Christiania is distilled six times, then charcoal filtered and then aerated, eliminating the last of the impurities for ultimate smoothness. This is according to a tightly-guarded recipe which originated in the court of Norway’s Bohemian King, Christian IV over 400 years ago. ​ The nose is subtle. The vodka is round in the mouth. The finish is distinctly cool. And this is where the legend of the ‘The World’s Smoothest Vodka ™’ begins. Because Christiania is distilled from the very special Trondelag potato, there’s a faint sweetness which prompts some to say this is in fact the world’s first sipping vodka. ​ Christiania is crafted at the venerable, 200-year old Arcus Distillery in Norway. The award-winning bottle with the distinct blue glass and ultra-smooth finish is created at the Stolzle factory in the North of England. The result is a product smooth through and through." —producer

"The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose." —brewer

"To truly capture the essence of George Smith’s vision, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve has been created using the time-honoured distillation methods that he introduced so long ago. Made with water from the same crystal-clear mountain streams, in the same cold, pure air, The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is as smooth and fruity as the whisky that first ran from the original copper pot stills. These unique, lantern-shaped copper stills, designed by the man himself, are not the only important tools in our distilling legacy. The traditional oak casks in which we mature the whisky give each expression its own distinct characteristics. When George Smith began distilling, The Glenlivet had no age statements and he selected whisky from casks of a range of ages. We have replicated this freedom with The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve, selecting whisky from a variety of traditional aged oak casks. Then, to lend a modern twist to the flavour of the expression, Master Distiller Alan Winchester marries together a selection of the aged oak casks and American first-fill oak casks. American first-fill oak casks are those that have never before been used to mature whisky. Selective use of these casks provides a smooth, creamy sweetness that mingles harmoniously with the delicate flavours and complex fruity tones already present in the whisky." —producer
