CLINK! : AUTUMN IN ACTION
WHISKY AUTUMN
As the leaves begin to change colour and the evenings start to draw in, the Benromach 10-year-old is the perfect dram to welcome in the new season. Matured in the finest oak casks, this 10-year-old single malt delivers delicate forest fruits, a touch of smoke and rich, lasting sherry notes – a firm favourite of the team at Whisky Galore. Head down to their Colombo Street location and find a dram just for you. whiskygalore.co.nz
FRUITY & REFRESHING
The Gekkeikan Daiginjo Sake is a great example of Japanese Daiginjo sake. 720mls with an amazingly exceptional fruity aroma and a nice, refreshing finish. Made by one of Japan’s oldest breweries, we recommend this sake for anyone interested in discovering the different styles and flavour profiles of Japanese sake. Psst... Vino Fino deliver. You don’t have to even consider the cold! vinofino.co.nz
FRUIT INTENSITY!
Beautifully ripe and fragrant, this 2017 Merlot’s bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry compote, dried herb and toasted almond characters. The palate delivers attractive fruit intensity and smooth mouthfeel, backed by fine, grainy tannins, providing a lingering firm finish. Well balanced and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2022.
