The Best Boozy Buys for February
Looking for something new and exciting to wet your whistle? Well, you’re in luck because we’re always in search of the best boozy buys for our readers to try. Whether you’re buying for others or yourself (hey, you deserve it), you can’t go wrong with these divine drinks this month. Chin chin!
Canned fun
Cape Town-based Nice Beverage Company’s latest launch is a goodie for sure! Say hello to Unfltrd canned wines with two distinct, and refreshing flavours: Skin Dry White and Dry Rosé. Skin Dry White is a blend of chenin and semillon with a unique caramelised flavour, and the Dry Rosé has classic berry flavours up front and a lifted hint of candy floss in the finish. With a low alcohol volume, these two launch products aim to please with the purity of fruit and minimal sulphite additions.
The wight siren
Inspired by the tales of the mythical Silkie seals that came ashore as beautiful sea maidens and charmed local men, this Irish blended whiskey is made with a combination of double and triple-distilled single malts, grain whiskey and a hint of peated malt. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 46%. A fresh and malty nose opens to be more honeyed with a gentle butteriness. On the palate, soft honey flavours come to the fore with bright hints of orange zest, digestive biscuits, brioche, butterscotch and stem ginger. The tipple has a warm, elegant finish that gently melts away.
Bitter-sweet symphony
Bitter-sweet, but not sugary, Pampelle is a naturally lower in sugar aperitif. An artisanal infusion of bitter-sweet citrus, natural botanicals and Eau de Vie. This delicious drink boasts a sweetly bitter disposition when approaching the floral brightness of a Vermouth Blanc, and is the perfect companion for cocktails all the same. From a Pampelle spritz to a Pampelle Tonic, anything goes with this decadent grapefruit liqueur. A complex yet deeply refreshing aperitif, served Pampelle shines when it is served simply over ice.
