Stolichnaya had travelled to the untouched waters of the Blue Spring to craft 300 bottles of limited edition pristine water series: New Zealand edition, elit Vodka. This outstanding vodka was crafted using the exceptionally pure waters which flow at a constant 11º Celsius all year around. The water then goes through elit’s meticulous journey of creating vodka in its purest form, resulting in a remarkably clean spirit with subtle aromas of citrus and fruit blossoms. The finished product is delivered in a crystal bottle, custom blown by artisans at Royale de Champagne Cristallerie in France. It is then wrapped by a galvanised cuff emulating the New Zealand Silver Fern before it is placed in a case made from ancient Kauri wood, found in New Zealand’s remote Northland region.
The Kakubin (Square Bottle) Blend has been produced by Suntory since 1937 and contains malt whisky from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries. The whiskies mature in a variety of casks that include ex-sherry and ex-wine casks allowing Suntory Kakubin Yellow label the best selling whisky in Japan.
It is mainly used in cocktails though such as the Highball. The marks on the bottle are made to look like the shell of a turtle, the Japanese symbol for a long and prosperous life.

The Isle of Skye is renowned for its rich, varied landscape – from its soft, serene shores to the dark, jagged peaks of the Cuillin mountains. Talisker Skye is the distillery’s ode to these appealing contrasts, with a smoky sweetness, maritime notes, and a spicy edge.
Best served in a Rocks Glass, neat or with a little water.
Rich, warm aromas of apples, toffee and honey – with a hint of marmalade. Tastes of fresh, mellow pear notes, creamy peaches, pineapple and a hint of dark sugar. Tamnavulin has a rich, smooth and refreshing finish
