ENGINE is the new 100% Made in Italy craft-made gin born in Alta Langa (Piedmont) from an idea of Paolo Dalla Mora. It’s produced with 100% organic ingredients, from a controlled Italian supply chain: alcohol from italian wheat, juniper from Tuscany, sage from Piedmont, lemons from Sicily, liquorice roots from Calabria, damask rose and water from the Alps. With its disruptive aesthetics, celebrates the imaginary connected with the world of motors and the cult myths of the 1980s. Every detail of the project is a tribute to the world of cars and workshops dear to enthusiasts, but is also part of a wider collective memory: ENGINE does not, in fact, have a classic bottle and is contained in a real half-litre tin can – with a screw cap – that evokes the iconic container for engine oil or the old mixture for the Vespa, the Ciao or the Sì, two-wheeled Italian vehicles that became symbolic for the generations around in those years.

Jägermeister is an iconic brand that is known for being at the centre of consumers’ best nights. Jägermeister is more than just a shot brand; it’s a brand that encompasses memorable moments. Jägermeister is made in Germany from 56 different herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits sourced from all over the world. This blend of ingredients creates a liquid with a distinct flavour that is best served as an ice cold shot chilled to -18C. Jägermeister was developed by Curt Mast more than 80 years ago and remains a best-selling spirit globally. The pure and natural botanical ingredients are extracted in their raw, unprocessed form through a gentle, weeks-long process of cold maceration to create Jägermeister’s distinctive taste. This base, rested in oak casks, then “breathes” for one full year to guarantee a high-quality finish and authentic taste.

Born out of modern Ireland and fusing the bold, contemporary and traditional, The Busker is set to disrupt the Irish whiskey category with its four types of Irish whiskeys - Single Grain, Single Pot Still, Single Malt and Blend.

The Busker Blend (Triple Cask Triple Smooth) combines the Single Grain with a high percentage of the Single Malt and Single Pot whiskeys. Matured and finished in three different casks (Bourbon, Sherry, Marsala), this innovative process brings out an unique smoothness and intense flavour within the spirit.

The Busker Single Collection, represented by the three traditional Irish whiskeys (Single Grain, Single Pot Still and Single Malt), is produced under one roof, each boasting an unmistakable taste profile, with nuances ranging from vanilla and oak, to rich spicy notes.

The Busker is distilled on an 18th Century estate in the Ancient East region of County Carlow at the world class Royal Oak Distillery. A major point of differentiation for The Busker takes place during the aging process, where the “Triple Cask Triple Smooth” blend and Single Grain expression matures in authentic, Cantine Florio (1833) Sicilian Marsala wine casks.
