PALE ALE<br />
Four Pines<br />
8 YEAR OLD BLENDED<br />
CANADIAN WHISKY<br />
Canadian Club<br />
LIMITED EDITION YARRA<br />
VALLEY ROSE<br />
Handpicked x Romance<br />
Was Born<br />
AROMATIC<br />
TONIC WATER<br />
Fever-Tree<br />
A nice American style<br />
pale ale with a bright<br />
ruby appearance that’s<br />
enjoyable but has nothing<br />
notable to rave about.<br />
Hop-driven aromas of<br />
citrus, pine and grapefruit<br />
overlay a mouthfeel of<br />
rounded malty flavours.<br />
The Canadian Club 8 Year<br />
Old is the more refined,<br />
mature, older sibling of<br />
Canadian Club Original<br />
1858. With a higher rye<br />
and barley content than<br />
the Original 1858, it’s<br />
expertly distilled and<br />
matured in char-treated<br />
American white oak<br />
barrels for eight years,<br />
to create a rich, smooth<br />
flavour. Best served as a<br />
Highball with soda and<br />
fresh lime.<br />
Handpicked Wines<br />
have collaborated<br />
with Australian fashion<br />
darlings, Romance Was<br />
Born, to create a limited<br />
edition Yarra Valley Rosé.<br />
Inspired by the fashion<br />
house’s latest collection,<br />
Electric Orchid, the unique<br />
Rosé features a label<br />
created by designers<br />
Anna Plunkett and Luke<br />
Sales featuring art by dual<br />
Archibald-winning artist<br />
Del Kathryn Barton<br />
The gentle bitterness of<br />
angostura is perfectly<br />
balanced with sweet,<br />
spicy notes of cardamom,<br />
ginger, vanilla and<br />
pimento berry. The result<br />
is a uniquely refreshing<br />
aromatic flavour. The<br />
finish is dry and clean<br />
with citrus notes. The<br />
colour is all natural, a<br />
result of the additional<br />
angostura bark and other<br />
natural colouring.<br />
