Ardbeg 10 year

It is a genuine wine with vibrant hints of violets and red fruits, to drink in company around grills, picnics, pasta dishes and tasty fish dishes.
Larsen Aqua Ignis
If dad is an old world spirit fan, celebrate Father’s Day with something special from Larsen Cognac, Larsen Aqua Ignis. This bottle is famed for being the first cognac in the world that is aged in steam-toasted barrels. Each cask, made of traditional French oak, is plunged into hot water then toasted over hot fire, three times. This technique releases the most complex and finest aromas from the wood while keeping out undesired smoky notes, tannins and acidity. It superbly goes with a recipe of Old Fashioned for a Father’s Day treat he surely can’t resist.
