  Der Gute Pott West-Indian Rum Vintage Bottle 70 cl 54 %

  Item no.: 2265481-30-Vintage2

  Flensburg was once northern Europe's rum capital, a harbour town thick with barrels, customs duties and sailors with salt in their beards. From here, rum merchants sent ships out to the West Indies and brought the rum home in casks – and one of the houses that survived the decades still trades under the name Pott.

  The Expert's Description

  Der Gute Pott 54 is a German Overseas Rum from the 1970s, blended from imported West Indies rum and bottled at 54%.

  The brand was founded in 1848 by captain and merchant Hans Hinrich Pott, and the trademark "Der Gute Pott" was registered in 1923. This isn't rum from a single distillery. It follows the classic German rum-house style: molasses rum imported from the West Indies, blended and bottled into its own distinctive character by H.H. Pott Nfgr. Rumhandelshaus in Flensburg. After the Second World War, Pott became the best-selling rum in West Germany, and the name still holds its ground in German bar history.

  This particular bottle was bottled in the 1970s. The label's "Flensburg-Rinteln" address belongs to that earlier chapter of the company's history, well before today's packaging, which makes this bottle a piece of rum nostalgia rather than something for the everyday shelf.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Golden rum with a rich aroma of dried tropical fruit, dark caramel and a touch of pepper.

  Palate

  Spiced and round, with chocolate, honey and a light oaky edge that gives it bite without turning sharp.

  Finish

  Warm and long, with sweetness from the molasses and a dry, spiced tail.

  Did You Know?

  This bottle dates from the 1970s, and the label names both St. Maarten and the West Indies as Pott's home – a piece of period marketing from an era when rum houses liked their imported goods to sound closer to the Caribbean than they really were. The blending and bottling itself has always taken place in Flensburg.

  Scharlachberg Meisterbrand German Brandy 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 059763-615-1102

  The name Scharlachberg comes from a vineyard site in Bingen-Büdesheim, but for over a hundred years it has stood for something quite different from wine – a brandy style that insisted on taking the time it needed, whatever the law demanded.

  Expert's Description

  Scharlachberg Meisterbrand is a German Brandy distilled by Weinbrennerei Scharlachberg, bottled at 38%.

  The house was founded in 1898 by Friedrich Wilhelm Petzsch as a cognac distillery and moved to Bingen on the Rhine in 1911. After the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the name had to change to Weinbrennerei Scharlachberg, taken from the Scharlachberg vineyard site itself in Rheinhessen – and in 1920 Meisterbrand reached the market for the first time as a domestic answer to expensive French imports.

  Scharlachberg guarantees that only high-quality wines are used for distillation, where the core is drawn off through a careful, high-purity process. Ageing takes place in oak casks for longer than German law requires for the category, giving the spirit time to gather the golden colour and soft vanilla tones the house is known for.

  The style behind this bottling dates back to the 1970s, when Scharlachberg had already established itself as one of the most solid names in German Weinbrand.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toasted oak and vanilla, with a lightly spiced sweetness and a hint of dried grapes.

  Palate

  Soft and round, with warm wood tones carried by a discreet sweetness rather than sharpness.

  Finish

  Medium length, drying toward the end, with a last hint of spice.

  Specifications

  Did You Know?

  Scharlachberg started out as a cognac distillery, but had to change its name and terminology when the Treaty of Versailles banned German producers from using the word cognac in 1919 – a history the house shares with several other German brandy houses from the same period.

  Medley Old Version Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 95 cl 43%

  Item no.: 059763-615-747

  Five brothers, one family tradition, and a bourbon name that outlasted both Prohibition and recession.

  Note: Tear and wear on the label.

  Expert description

  Medley Old Version Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an American bourbon from Kentucky, bottled at 43%. The Medley family has distilled whiskey since 1800, when John Medley IV moved his family from Maryland to Washington, Kentucky. The family tradition continued across generations, and in 1901 George Medley relocated the distillery to Owensboro for better access to river shipping on the Ohio River. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Thomas Aquinas Medley began production of a new bourbon, and in 1940 five Medley brothers founded the Medley Distilling Company. The Medley Bros. label was originally created in the 1940s as the brothers' shared tribute to the family's whiskey heritage, and has since been revived by the seventh and eighth generations of the family.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers caramel, vanilla and a hint of toasted nuts.

  Palate

  The palate is round with brown sugar, oak and spice.

  Finish

  The finish is medium to long, warm and spicy.

  Fundador Old Version Pedro Domecq Spanish Brandy 70 cl 38.5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19728043192

  In Jerez de la Frontera, where the Andalusian sun beats down on whitewashed bodega walls, the Domecq family has aged brandy by the same principle for close to three centuries. Fundador Old Version carries that legacy forward, cask by cask, vintage by vintage.

  Expert's Description

  Fundador Old Version Pedro Domecq is a Spanish Brandy matured through the solera method in ex-sherry casks of American oak, bottled at 38.5%.

  The house of Pedro Domecq traces its roots back to 1730, when the Irish merchant Patrick Murphy founded a bodega in Jerez de la Frontera. Roughly a century later, the French wine trader Pedro Domecq Lembeye took over the business and gave it his name, and in 1874 the house created Fundador, the first Spanish brandy ever marketed under the name Brandy de Jerez.

  The brandy matures in the same bodegas that hold Jerez's famous sherry, moving through a solera system of stacked casks where young brandy gradually absorbs character from older vintages before it is finally drawn from the bottom row. It is a slow process that gives Fundador Old Version its rounded, dark character.

  The Old Version bottling is a nod to the house's classic style, the way it tasted long before Fundador conquered the international market. It shows the brandy without ornament, just craft, time and the damp bodega walls that mark the wood, year after year.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dried figs and walnut meet a sherry sweetness from the casks, backed by caramel and a faint oxidative, nutty edge.

  Palate

  A wave of raisin and caramelised sugar, with a touch of dark chocolate, spiced oak and orange peel.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with notes of dried fruit before a last trace of sherry oak slowly fades.

  Specifications

  Did You Know?

  Did you know that Fundador was the very first brandy ever marketed under the name Brandy de Jerez, back in 1874, a name that has since become a protected designation of origin reserved for brandy matured in this corner of Andalusia.

  Napoleon VSOP Prestige Spanish Brandy 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197241

  In the sun-warmed bodegas of southern Spain, rows of ageing oak casks have shaped the character of Spanish brandy for generations. Napoleon VSOP Prestige stands in that tradition, dark as caramelised sugar, with a richness that hints at real time spent in wood.

  Expert's Description

  Napoleon VSOP Prestige is a Spanish brandy classified as VSOP, bottled as a Vintage edition at 38%.

  The bottle belongs to the Spanish brandy tradition, where eaux-de-vie is matured through the Solera system – a network of linked cask rows in which younger distillate is gradually blended with older vintages each time spirit is drawn from the bottom casks. The method is especially associated with the brandy houses of the Jerez region in Andalusia, where it was historically refined alongside sherry production, and it remains one of the most defining features of Spanish brandy as a category.

  The VSOP classification requires a minimum period of ageing, giving the brandy time to draw colour, tannin and rounded flavour from the oak. This particular bottling is released as a limited Vintage edition, setting it apart from the house's ongoing production.

  The result is a dark, round brandy in which the Solera system's blending of vintages creates an even depth – a style found across much of classic Spanish brandy regardless of house.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Caramelised sugar, dried apricot and a light woody note of old oak.

  Palate

  Round and full, with raisin, walnut and a hint of vanilla from the cask.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and lightly spiced, closing on a warm, woody note.

  Specifications

  Name: Napoleon VSOP Prestige
  Distillery: Del Maresme
  Country: Spain
  Type: Spanish Brandy
  ABV: 38%
  Size: 70 CL
  Serving suggestion: Enjoy neat at room temperature or over ice

  Flavour Profile

  Caramel · Dried Fruit · Walnut · Oak

  Did You Know?

  The word Solera comes from the Spanish suelo, meaning ground or floor – a reference to the fact that the oldest casks in the system always sit at the bottom row, closest to the ground.

  Escorial Riemerschmid Old Version Prestige Green Liqueur 1960's 56%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197239

  A Munich legend from when Escorial rivalled absinthe for the title of the city's cult drink - this bottle of green Escorial is a rare window into 1960s Germany.

  Ekspertens beskrivelse

  Escorial Riemerschmid Old Version is a German herbal liqueur from the distillery Riemerschmid, bottled at 56% ABV - this bottle is a vintage edition from the 1960s.

  Escorial was developed in 1835 by Robert Riemerschmid and first brought to market in 1910 by the Anton Riemerschmid group in Munich. The liqueur enjoyed its first boom as a cult drink in the 1920s, alongside absinthe's heyday, and the green edition at 56% ABV was introduced in 1960, gradually replacing the original yellow Escorial. Riemerschmid moved from Munich to Erding in 1984 and was acquired by the Underberg group in 1996. This bottle is a single example from the early green era and is sold as a rare collector's item.

  Smag

  The liqueur offers powerful aromas of sweet woodruff, aniseed, peppercorn, citrus and fresh green herbs, blended according to a secret recipe of harmoniously balanced herb and spice distillates. The taste is intense and complex, comparable in sensory character to green Chartreuse.

  Crabbie 8 Years Blended Old Scotch Whisky 43%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197186

  Eight years in cask, 43 percent and a name from Leith. Crabbie belongs to the blends that were drunk a lot and kept a little — which is exactly why the surviving bottles are interesting.

  Please note: The bottle is supplied without a carton.

  Expert description

  Crabbie 8 years Blended Old Scotch Whisky is a Blended Scotch Whisky matured for at least 8 years and bottled at 43%.

  John Crabbie & Co was based in Leith near Edinburgh and was as much a merchant house as a whisky producer. Age-stated blends were a quality marker in that period, and eight years meant even the youngest component had lost its edges. The 43% was standard for export bottlings and gives more body than today's 40%.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Malt, cereal and dried fruit. Behind them sit honey, pale caramel and a trace of old wood.

  Palate

  Soft and rounded. Raisin, orange, malt and vanilla, with a lightly spiced warmth and a dry edge from the grain whisky.

  Finish

  Medium, dry and malty, with nuts and a hint of smoke right at the end.

  Did you know?

  Leith was Scotland's most important whisky port for more than a century. Casks were stored in warehouses along the quay and the blending houses sat close together — it was the harbour, not the distillery, that decided who could build a whisky business.

  Crabbie 8 Years Blended Old Scotch Whisky Incl. Box 43%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197185

  Most people know the Crabbie name from ginger wine. Fewer know the Leith house also sold whisky — and that bottles from those days still turn up with the carton intact.

  Expert description

  Crabbie 8 years Blended Old Scotch Whisky is a Blended Scotch Whisky matured for at least 8 years and bottled at 43%.

  John Crabbie & Co was founded in Edinburgh in the early 1800s and became world famous for its green ginger wine, but the house also traded and blended whisky. This release comes with its original carton, which makes a noticeable difference to a collector, since packaging was rarely kept. The 43% strength and the eight year age statement place it in an era when blends were still bottled with a little more body than today.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Malt and dried fruit first, then honey, pale caramel and a dusty note from the years in glass.

  Palate

  Round and malty. Raisin, orange peel, cereal and a little vanilla, with a warm spiced edge from the 43%. The mouthfeel is softer than today's standard blends.

  Finish

  Medium and dry, with malt, nuts and a lightly smoked close.
