CAMPARI


A unique and unmistakable recipe has characterized Campari, the aperitif par excellence, for over 150 years.
The inimitable Campari recipe, used as the basis of many cocktails served worldwide, has been kept the same since its inception and remained a closely guarded secret, passed down over the years.
Campari was the result of Gaspare Campari’s experiments in concocting new beverages. It is still produced today with the same ingredients and following the confidential recipe which remains a secret known only to the very few people in charge of the production process.
Campari is the result of the infusion of herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water; these last two being the recipes only known ingredients. Many have guessed simply at the number of ingredients: some say there are 20 or 60, but others list the ingredients at 80.
Over time, appreciation and respect has grown for this historic and unique brand, which is now recognised and appreciated worldwide.
The history of Campari began in Novara in 1860. About forty years later, Campari's first production plant was opened in Sesto San Giovanni and the company began to export the brand overseas. It was the beginning of a success story that today still has no sign of stopping.

LUXARDO MARASCHINO LIQUEUR


Luxardo Maraschino Originale is a classic, and the Luxardo family still produces this wonderful liqueur according to the original formula used by Girolamo Luxardo in 1821.

The spirit is then diluted and sugared.

DON Q CRISTAL RUM


Unlike most clear rums, Don Q uses a multiple distillation system to produce a cleaner, more refined, and more delicate flavor profile. So a Don Q drink will sip smoother than a drink made with another rum. So smooth, in fact, that you can substitute Cristal in a vodka drink, and most won’t be able to tell the difference. It’s then aged in American White Oak barrels to impart a touch more smoothness.

BUNNAHABHAIN TOITEACH SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY


Toiteach (pronounced Toch Chach) embraces a powerful proposition: the foundation for a variation on the famous Bunnahahain Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. What if a touch of smoke from the peated malted barley was introduced in the distillation process? The Islay character is quite distinctive from that of the Bunnahabhain single malt, known for its gentle taste. Toiteach means smoky in Scots Gaelic, reflecting the seeming contradiction that this peaty paradox represents.

This bottling offers the connoisseur an opportunity to try something truly unique and beguiling in nature. The liquid has been masterfully distilled and quietly matured at the distillery, never for a moment leaving Islay during this process.

UMICUM LIQUEUR


"Das is ein UNICUM", told Kaiser Joseph II when he first tasted the drink to the Zwack predecessor who, as the royal physician, created this drink speciality in 1790. That is how the drink gained its current name and the name speaks for itself...
Unicum became the most popular brand among drinks in Hungary, as it has continuously represented excellent quality, distinctive taste and Hungarian tradition for over 200 years. Although Unicum's recipe is kept secret, that much is certain that it is made of a mixture of over 40 different kinds of carefully selected medicinal herbs and spices. Its unique bittersweet taste and exclusive harmony is brought to perfection by a 6-month period of aging in oak casks.
Thanks to the beneficial effects of Unicum, it can be a introducer or closer of meals. It may be drunk chilled but its grand complex of flavours can be best enjoyed at room temperature. It can be taken with dried plums soaked in Unicum (the order being plums-Unicum-plums) or as a long drink.

CAROLANS IRISH CREAM



Carolans Irish Cream is a unique tasting, high quality Irish cream liqueur that was developed in 1978 and first launched in the UK in July 1979. Since then the brand has grown steadily and established itself as the world's no. 2 Irish cream liqueur, marketed in over 80 countries.

It is the marrying of two traditions with Irish expertise that lies behind the success story of Carolans. Carolans combines Irish spirits and whiskey with rich double cream and derives its superior taste from the subtle blending of flavours, principally honey.
Honey is particularly appropriate for a drink produced in Clonmel – the word "Clonmel" is derived from the Gaelic "Cluain Meala" which means Vale of Honey.
Clonmel, in County Tipperary, is also set in Ireland’s famed "Golden Vale", probably the best natural dairyland in the world. Only the best suppliers are considered, since the cream is such a vital component (making up nearly 40% of the product). It is this uncompromising quality and use of the finest cream that gives Carolans such a smooth consistency.

ŻUBRÓWKA TRADITIONAL VODKA


Each blade of bison grass is hand-picked, selected and dried under natural conditions. Grass prepared in this way is later used to obtain an extract, which is later combined with the best-quality pure vodka. Then, the liquid is filtered until it adopts a beautiful, golden color, as well as a mild taste and flavor. A blade of bison grass is hand-placed in each bottle, thus accentuating the natural origin of Żubrówka.
This vodka has a 600-year old tradition and history.
The production of a bottle of Żubrówka takes 44 days.
As early as in the 14th Century, Polish nobility “seasoned” vodka with bison grass. It was believed that wild bison grass is a true aphrodisiac and endows its consumers with the power of a bison.
