African Spirits for tasting:
Nigerian Ogogoro - By Pedros:
In Pedro’s Premium Ògógóró you can notice a great blend of herbs, spices, grass and subtle smoky aromas. On the tongue, the essence of the palm’s creamy, coconut, spicy, vanilla and citrus flavours shine. The spirit has a lovely creamy texture, the alcohol is well balanced and has a very smooth finish. This is a unique spirit, and it's first time in the UK.
Ghanian Akpeteshie - By Aphro:
Every last drop of this stunning Ghanaian, Akpeteshie is infused with the finest sweetened pineapples and passion fruits from West Africa. Explore the warm notes of flamed pineapple on the palate, a robust roundness, and an unmatched sweet aroma with exceptional length. Enjoy this premium Palm Spirit.
Zimbabwean Vodka - By Zimasa:
Zimasa Vodka is made from small batches made from English grain and water from the Brecon Beacons, distilled with air-dried Masau fruit from Zimbabwe.
Moroccan Gin - By Sahara:
Sahara beautifully revives Mahia's ancestral recipe using figs and a subtle hint of aniseed adding to it other authentic Moroccan flavours: cinnamon, apricots, almonds and honey - crafted without any added sugars.
Immerse yourself in our inaugural batch, where the flavours of the past and present blend in a harmonious celebration of taste and heritage.
South African Rum - By Xwai:
Xwai Rum's barrel-aged rum is distilled from molasses. Inspired by Jamaican rums, it is packed full of flavour using specific yeast cultured to create a smooth rum full of character. It is aged in their maturation cellar, and finished in charred barrels.
This rum is a unique take on the Rum category, and is a must have in your collection.
