Unfltrd canned wines
We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to buying wine in South Africa, but Cape Town-based Nice Beverage Company’s latest wine 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 perfect wine for travelling and on-the-go celebrations, you can’t go wrong with this convenient little gem.

Silkie Irish whiskey
If you’re looking for one of the best Irish whiskies available in South Africa, then this is a must-try. 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.

Pampelle
Bitter-sweet, but not sugary, Pampelle is 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.
