An Hors d'Age Armagnac from Comte de Lauvia, made using Ugni Blanc, Baco Blanc and Folle Blanche grapes. As with their other expressions, Comte de Lauvia have 'double matured' this Armagnac in local black oak casks, initially in new wood for several months, before being moved to second or third fill casks for a further period of around 2 years. After this, they're moved to older casks, with this expression made up of vintages dating back to the early 1970s and spanning almost 30 years!

Copper pot-distilled gin is first made with juniper, coriander and other fragrant botanicals.  We take a portion of this gin and painstakingly infuse it with a further six botanicals, capturing the vibrant flavours of orange peel, cassia, juniper, coriander, cardamom and clove.

This infusion is meticulously blended back into the gin, giving Bathtub its unique character, allowing those fresh botanical flavours – too delicate to survive traditional distillation – to shine through, and leaving our gin with its distinctive botanical hue. It’s only finished once wrapped, strung and waxed by hand, ready to deliver unparalleled fresh flavour to your G&Ts and cocktails.

Gouden Carolus Single Malt is a refined whisky distilled from the mash of Gouden Carolus Tripel beer. A first for Belgium are the hand hammered, copper pot stills, in which the pure mash is distilled. The result is a pure and clear distillate.

The ensuing aging in First Fill Bourbon casks followed by a further aging in 'Anker' casks (oak casks reworked by the cooper according to our own specifications) results in a refined whisky with a rich and balanced taste. The subtle fruit aromas are delightfully enhanced by hints of wood and vanilla.

Tasting Notes :

Appearance : Golden Copper

Nose: Fruit, vanilla and crème brûlée

Palate: Full and balanced; notes of wood, vanilla

Finish: Sweet with lingering vanilla and orange blossom.
