Mahón Gin

The history of Mahón Gin is inseparable from that of Mahón, an urban legend from the port city Mahón is named after the brother of Hannibal, the feared Carthaginian leader who was also a frequent visitor on the island.

In the early 1700s when Great Britain took over the city of Mahón for its deepwater port, Lord Nelson became a famed local resident. The gin is still made following the one-shot method with local firewood used as fuel.

Alcohol, Water, and Juniper berries with other ingredients are placed in a copper alembic and then heated. As the vapor turns into a spirit of about 50% ABV the essential oils and aromas are then extracted. ​

Distillation lasts for around 9 hours and then the spirit is finally diluted down and filtered for impurities. No additional flavors or essences are added to the spirit.

Waterford Distillery is located on the banks of the River Suir, in Waterford, Ireland. Originally a high-tech Guinness brewery, the site was purchased by a private team and converted to distillation in 2015. Waterford uses only 100% Irish malted barley from 86 Farms - including Organic (Ireland's first), Biodynamic and Heritage grains, grown on 19 terroirs across the South East of Ireland.

The distillery uses a spectrum of super-premium oak: 50% US First fill, 20% Virgin US, 15% Premium French. 15% Vin Doux Naturel (sweet fortified wines). Waterford Irish Single Malt Whisky is double distilled, first in a 17,000 litre Wash Still, then an 11,000 liter Spirit Still. 

This distillery produces approximately 1,000,000 liters of spirit a year. The production uses a mash filter as opposed to a traditional mash tun, extended fermentation times to over 120 hours - almost twice the industry standard - to allow for a secondary, malolactic fermentation, rare for the industry.

This ensures every last bit of flavor is extracted from each terroir, each farm. Waterford founder Mark Reynier is an industry iconoclast for taking on both the corporate Irish and Scotch whisky world with his totally unique concept of terroir in whisky.

Blackadder Puff Adder

Blackadder International was established 1995 by Robin Tucek who, together with daughter Hannah and son Michael run the family business

Robin Tucek is also co-author with John Lamond of The Malt Whisky File – one of the most respected books about malt whisky

The Blackadder Raw Cask whiskies are complete cask whiskies bottled containing cask sediment.

Blackadder’s philosophy is very simple – they believe that the Cask is King. Sixty to seventy percent of the flavors in a whisky are taken up slowly from the cask as the spirit lies maturing in the warehouse. The action of changing temperature draws the spirit in and out of the cask. Every cask is unique, with its own fingerprint.

This is why they bottle most of their whiskies from single casks. They don’t believe in chilling or otherwise heavily filtering their whiskies, and they never, repeat never, add caramel coloring and flavoring to their spirits. They have always believed the personalities of their whiskies are colorful enough. Puff Adder is a tantalizing vat of Single Malt Whiskies, carefully selected and blended in Scotland for Blackadder.
