Compass Box Whisky - Artisan Scotch Whiskymakers | Signature Range | Asyla. Pinot Grigio Veneto IGT by Caposaldo. In northern Italy's Veneto region, near Venice, the Pinot Grigio vines are planted on hillside vineyards situated 750 feet above sea level, where they benefit from well-drained, mineral rich, volcanic basaltic rock and chalky clay soils. Handpicking and cold fermentation promotes fresh acidity, and the wine is not oak aged, allowing the grapes' varietal character to remain prominent. Features a dry, crisp, vibrant texture and delicate aromas of white fruit, flowers and almonds. Pairs well with white meats, fish, seafood, pasta dishes and delicate cheeses. - GRAPES: Pinot Grigio- APPELLATION: Veneto IGT- PH: 3.34- ACIDITY: 6 g/l - ABV: 12.5%- AGING: Stainless steel - A fresh, oak-free, varietally correct Pinot Grigio - 100% handpicked grapes - A classic Italian wine at an accessible price. Springbank :: Springbank Whisky Distillers.

The original Springbank whisky has been distilled legally on the site of the present distillery since 1828, and probably illicitly since well before then! Known and loved amongst whisky enthusiasts the world over, Springbank is produced using lightly-peated barley and a unique two-and-a-half-times distillation. This gives the whisky a character all of its own, making it stand out as a must-have dram on anyone's shelf. Produced using the most traditional of production techniques, from floor malting all the way through to the bottling stage, Springbank can best be described as a "hand-made" single malt. Orvieto Wine. Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum. Tasting Notes: Tasting Notes by Tim F Nose: Big and complex, very characterful. Fruit cake, rum'n'raisin ice cream, cocoa, and some cake spices: dried ginger, cinnamon and clove.

Baked bananas with fudge sauce. Palate: Very chocolatey initally, like a chocolate sauce on dessert. Finish: Flakes of Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange sprinkled over melted vanilla ice cream. Comment: A seductive, sensual indulgent rum. Tasting Notes by Refined Vices (Count Silvio) Nose: The bouquet of this rum is warm and redolent; it is heavy and rounded with intensely rich notes of toffee that are diplomatically escorted up from the glass with almonds. Taste: This rum is very sweet and round, possessing a velvety body that coats your mouth nicely.

Aftertaste: The finish is warm and sweet, with rich notes of coffee and caramel in the palate.
