Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin

I bought a 1000ml bottle of this gin and it's nearly gone. Monkey 47, when served with Fever Tree Refreshingly Light Tonic, is a stunningly fresh, lively, complex and intriguing drink - no guest has ever been satisfied with just one. It's a hell of a gin. Aromatic and arresting, the myriad herbs that comprise Monkey 47 each play their note in the orchestra that is this gin. I'm English and I like London gins, and perhaps I'm lacking loyalty by loving this Black Forest beauty, but so be it. This Monkey's Gone to Heaven. — 6 years ago

It’s the best gin I’ve ever tasted. The perfect G&T to give those who say they don’t like gin.

Nyetimber

Classic Cuvée Sparkling White Blend

Had been wanting to try this Cuvée which largely helped put English Sparkling on the map. Good bead with aromas of Apple and light biscuity aromas with good persistence on the palate. Would easily hold its own in French company. One of the 1001 wines. Have not seen it available in Australia as yet but I might have missed it. — 6 years ago

@Shay A The Digby was slightly better having 9 years of age. Part owned by the Glasgows who are both American so may become available over there but only a small production.

Hattingley Valley

Classic Reserve English Sparkling Pinot Noir Blend

Founded in 2008 by Simon and Nicola Robinson, Hattingley Valley is located in Hampshire, England and their estate vineyard is set on chalky soils. The ‘Classic Reserve’ is a blend of several vintage wines (18% reserve wines) and opens with biscuit aromas with lemon zest and shades of salted Marcona almond. The palate unveils a lovely mouthfeel as brisk acidity and salinity races through pear, wet stone and kumquat flavors. Drink 2019-2025- 90

Hits keep on coming for Kent wine. It may be freezing outside, but we wanted a rosé. @hushheath Nannette's is an intriguing blend of pinot noir, pinot meunière, and chard. Touch of RS rounds out this perfumed, rose pedal beauty. Now...to get more. — 9 years ago

AleSmith Brewing Company

Nut Brown English-Style Ale

Once only a draft release, now it bottles, hands down one of the best brown ales in the world, perfect in the style, roasted, toasted malts, nutty and very smooth, not over sweet, coffee and chocolate notes, but in the style, so not like a porter, easy drinking, very easy to session, if you are fan of this style, like New Castle, this is far superior — 9 years ago

Digby Wine

Reserve Fine English Brut Sparkling Blend 2010

At the home of Dean and Margy Glasgow who have a share in Digby. Very similar to a good French Champagne and compared to Nyetimber. Bready aromas with Citrus. Good intensity and length developing complexity at 9 years. Very impressive. — 6 years ago

I don't have a lot of experience with Rosé bubbles to begin with. But this is very much balanced and quite a bit more balanced than I was expecting. Nose of strawberries and cream. Entry was more of a slightly underripe strawberry with some melon and cream. Nice medium bubbles. Not too big and obnoxious and makes the wine seem a little lighter. A little over 40% Pinot noir and about 30/30 Pinot meunier and Chardonnay. 12% abv. In a nice spot.
