St-Rémy Signature
St-Rémy Signature shapes a new face for brandy by exploring new production processes while remaining respectful of St-Rémy traditions and the historical smooth profile, experimenting with a unique double maturation process.
The first maturation in new oak casks delivers spiced notes, indulgence, and vivacity, while the second maturation in traditional casks balances the blend with roundness and sweetness.
The mature nose is underpinned with echoes of oak, and delicate vanilla aromas, layered with hints of ripe fruits and honey. The palate is rich in flavour, with subtle notes of wood and vanilla enriched with flavours of gingerbread, candied apricots, dates, figs and nuts. This complex taste is subtly spicy and offers a long finish. The perfect gift for the father figure in your life that appreciates a good brandy.
RRP: $65.99

Tequila Don Ramón
The Tequila Don Ramón range is 100% Agave Azul Tequilana Weber from the Altos de Jalisco. This tequila is one made in a truly unique way, as Casa Don Ramón sets their facilities to classical music during the fermentation process to positively react to the yeast; stimulating the aroma and bouquet of their distillates.
Their facilities have the ability to split oxygen atoms to convert it into OZONE O3. Instead of air, Casa Don Ramón uses ozone to give a unique smoothness to the tequila, eliminating the spiciness and astringency in our distillates. Perfect for the sustainably minded Dad, Tequila Don Ramón makes the most of raw materials with high-level machinery that allows Casa Don Ramón to extract the liquid from the raw pineapple. On average it takes 8 kilos of agave to obtain 1 litre of tequila, yet Casa Don Ramón uses approximately 5 kilos, offering a more sustainable production method.
