THE LONDON DRY GIN TROPHY, SPONSORED BY THE GIN GUILD HERNÖ SWEDISH ROSE GIN ATOM SUPPLIES
SWEDEN
Complex, classic, intense nose that is bright and lifted. Intense, citrus, juniper-heavy pronounced nose personified. Incredibly intense, vivid and fresh in the mouth, zesty, powerfully botanical with
explosive flavour.
THE CONTEMPORARY GIN TROPHY, SPONSORED BY THE GIN GUILD BATHTUB GIN – NAVY-STRENGTH ATOM SUPPLIES
ENGLAND
Exceptionally spicy on the nose covering the full range of the spice rack: cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Taste: lovely and smooth in texture. Full of bold, resinous juniper flavours upfront, before a
light, sweet note of cassia and a slight cakiness that is reminiscent of tiffin slices and raisin country slices.
THE LIQUEUR TROPHY
MOZART CHOCOLATE CREAM
MOZART DISTILLERIE GMBH AUSTRIA
A delightful and great example of a chocolate liqueur. Notes of molten chocolate are intermingled with a little alcoholic warmth. The flavours are beautifully integrated, and ultra-smooth, with a gentle duskiness on the finish. This demonstrates a great
balance between flavour
intensity, sweetness, and
alcoholic strength.
THE COGNAC TROPHY
COGNAC ROULLET VSOP GRANDE CHAMPAGNE
SAS MAISON DE NEGOCE CHARENTAISE
FRANCE
The nose is like walking through a Moroccan souk with a vanilla ice cream that has chopped hazelnuts on top.
The palate shows a hint of spice with lots of chopped fresh ginger
and notes of lemon and lime.
The zest comes to the fore on
the finish.
THE WORLDWIDE BRANDY TROPHY, SPONSORED BY DISTELL
KWV 15 POTSTILL BRANDY WARSHAY INVESTMENT (PTY) LTD TA KWV
SOUTH AFRICA
Rich and positive, warm and inviting in a galaxy of glory as it enriches the palate with pure luxury. Memorable.
THE BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY TROPHY, SPONSORED BY WILLIAM GRANT & SONS
SYNDICATE 58/6 12 YO BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
SYNDICATE 58/6 LIMITED SCOTLAND
Oh-so-sweet aromas of rich, thick and sticky marzipan smeared over golden- syrup sponge. An equally rich palate is joined by ripe bananas, hazelnut and praline. A bounty of beauty,
silky and sensual – exquisite.
