"The legendary cognac Martell Cordon Bleu is an international emblem of excellence. Ideal for special occasions, the taste of this French cognac is an explosion of spicy fruit notes and elegant richness. Martell Cordon Bleu was officially launched at the prestigious Hôtel de Paris in Monaco in 1912. An instant success around the world, it has been served on many landmark occasions, including the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary in 1936 and the first Concorde flight in 1977." —producer

"We can admire an elegant coppery color with golden glints. At first notice, gourmet aromas such as banana and caramelized pears are present. Then a subtle sweetness appears, and notes of vanilla & coconut mixed with spicy and menthol are revealed. It is soft, round and gourmand on the palate. The taste is deep with fresh notes of ginger and white candied fruits such as plum. The finish is ample and smooth, with hints of long toasted oak from Kentucky Bourbon casks. Martell Blue Swift is a new eau-de-vie de vin made with Cognac VSOP finished in Bourbon casks to enjoy on its own, over ice, lengthened with a mixer or as a cocktail." - producer

"The epitome of The Macallan excellence and mastery in whisky making. This spirit is carefully matured for a minimum of 18 years in predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks and released annually, transforming the new make spirit into an exceptional whisky with notes of ginger, dates and dark chocolate." —producer

"Handcrafted using an exceptionally high proportion of first-fill Sherry oak casks, handpicked by our whisky maker, from less than 1% of the casks maturing at the Macallan distillery. Coupled with the Macallan's commitment to natural colour, we have created a tantalising single malt which sees Spanish oak pique the nose before admitting rich dried fruits and an edgy trickle of treacle. A hesitant sweetness enters, then oak returns, burnished and mature. On the palate a rush of ginger, nutmeg, and resin herald orange, sultana, and raisins with their restrained but pervasive sweetness. A hint of cloves, but with oak the undisputed maestro. The finish of this naturally occurring ruby-red spirit is long, lingering, and reflective." —producer
