New at Drinkon is Benromach 10 y.o. Single Malt, made at Speyside’s smallest distillery, just outside Forres. The Benromach distillery was virtually derelict in 1993, when it was rescued and restored by malt whisky specialists Gordon & Macphail and was officially re-opened by Prince Charles in 1998. Just two distillers create the whisky, using the finest Scottish barley and pure spring water from the Romach Hills. Patiently matured for at least 10 years in high quality casks, Benromach 10 yo has rich fruit, sweet chocolate and delicate spicy armas. With a rich sherry influence, the palate shows exotic fruit flavours and toasted malt with a hint of smoke. David and Michael Urquart, of Gordon & Macphail commented: ‘We think that Benromach 10 Years Old displays a big taste from a tiny distillery and we hiope that people will enjoy our whisky as much as we do – and share the secret of Benromach with fellow whisky-lovers’ If you’re looking for an early Christmas gift, here it is!

Still on the trail of the unusual this week, we’re showcasing Fernet Branca, iconic Italian bitters that’s been made to a secret family recipe since 1845. The drink contains 27 herbs from around the world, including saffron, gentian root, camomile and myrrh and is matured in oak barrels for 12 months. It is complex and intense, with rich notes of bitterness and a delicately spicy finish. Although Fernet Branca is generally enjoyed as a digestif, served at room temperature, it can also be mixed really effectively in cocktails, particulary this one, which is pretty damn good:
DR ZEUS
20 raisins2 shots cognac
¼ shot Gomme syrup
Method: Pour Fernet Branca into an ice-filled Old-fashioned glass (short tumbler). Top with chilled mineral water and leave to stand. Separately muddle raisins in the base of a shaker, add other ingredients and shake with ice. Discard the contents of the glass and strain the contents of the shaker into the Fernet Branca coated glass. (from Diffordsguide to Cocktails #7)

LUSCIOUS LYCHEE LIQUEURS


It may be your thirst for the exotic, but we suspect the current rush on lychee liqueurs may have something to do with a certain celebrity chef’s Christmas cocktail ideas. The unique tangy and irresistible flavour of lychees has certainly been overlooked for too long, and there are many different ways to use our great range of lychee liqueurs. You can add a dash to a glass of Prosecco or any sparkling wine or champagne, or create a deliciously delicate Martini as detailed below.
View Lychee Liqueurs


LYCHEE MARTINI


2 shots Vodka

½ shot Lychee liqueur

2 shots lychee syrup from tinned fruit

Method: Stir all the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a whole lychee from a tin, pierced on a cocktail stick if preferred. This martini is rumoured to have first been made in 2001 at Clay, a Korean restaurant in New York.Recipe from the Sauceguide to Cocktails, by Simon Difford. It differs from the Nigella recipe as featured in her Christmas book in that it contains 2 shots of vodka, instead of her 1 shot vodka, 1 shot white rum recommendation.
