THE BOURBON TROPHY
BIG HOUSE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
SAZERAC COMPANY INC
UNITED STATES
The nose gives dry leaves, twigs and oak from a saw mill, backed with liquorice and some root beer elements. The palate shows rich spices, popping candy and freeze-dried strawberries. The finish gives a hint of rye spice, and a nice bed of vanilla.
THE AQUAVIT TROPHY
GYLDEN AKVAVIT
PABST & RICHARZ VERTRIEBS GMBH GERMANY
Medium gold in colour. Ultra-expressive on the nose, with a primary, intense and personified assortment of white blossom, green apples and spicy caraway. Savoury and chewy in the mouth, displaying a layered depth of flavour and
a rich forward character. Deliciously long finish, this is flawlessly good.
THE POMACE BRANDY TROPHY
GRAPPA LE GIARE GEWÜRZTRAMINER DISTILLERIA MARZADRO SPA ITALY
Light golden colour. A delicate perfumed note reveals hints of
dried fruit, white blossom,
pear, spice and baked bread. Pronounced and balanced on the palate –
beautifully delicate, pretty, flavoursome and intricate with a lengthy finish.
THE RUM & GINGER BEER TROPHY, SUPPORTED BY FEVER-TREE WORLD’S END RUM DARK SPICED 2240 SOCIAL CLUB

Rich and indulgent. The rum
stands up well to the mixer,
enhancing the flavour of sweet
ginger beer with deeper spice notes and a full-bodied, dark fruitiness. An equal partnership, with both elements contributing to a spicy and delicious drink.
THE RUM & COLA TROPHY, SUPPORTED BY FEVER-TREE ROM RINCON
CADUSHY DISTILLERY NETHERLANDS
Grassy, spiced aromas on the nose with notes of pimento and sweet
leaves. More grassy notes on the palate, with clove, ginger and
hints of basil and tarragon. Dark sugar sweetness balanced by an underlying dryness.

Freshly cut dill on the nose; lively and invigorating but not overpowering, which follows to the palate, which remains fresh and balanced.

difference and a layered complexity.
