Connie Glaze Slow Sand Filtered Vodka
Inspired by breathtakingly beautiful Constantine Bay on the north coast of Cornwall, Connie Glaze Slow Sand Filtered Vodka (40% abv) is an artisan vodka produced by renowned craft distillery, Tarquin’s.

This Taste of the West 2024 & London Spirits Competition Gold Winner tastes wonderful in cocktails or paired with soda water, fresh lime, and a sprig of rosemary! Versatile and delicious, it’s a real summer staple.
Wavebreaker Lager
Crisp, refreshing, and brimming with the zesty aroma of tangy lime, Wavebreaker (4.0% abv) is a pilsner-style lager that is hand brewed by award-winning maker, Keltek Brewery.
Using the finest whole hop flowers, malts, and hand-pitched yeast, this family-run brewery produces some of Cornwall’s premier lagers and ales, while paying tribute to the county’s strong Celtic history.
Wavebreaker makes a magnificent beverage for a summer’s day, you’ll enjoy every sip!
Saint Sithney Cornish Dry Gin
Beautifully capturing the spirit of Cornwall, St. Sithney Cornish Dry Gin (42% abv) by Saint Sithney Distilling Co. is a premium artisanal gin that’s distilled from Cornish-grown wheat and infused with carefully selected botanicals ranging from earthy juniper berries to kaffir lime leaves, and orange and lemon peel to coriander and cardamons.

Cape Cornwall White Rum
Cape Cornwall Rum, a specialist rum producer, brings a unique Cornish edge to their White Rum (40% ABV). By distilling a blend of 2- and 5-year-old Caribbean rums right here in Cornwall and finishing it with pure Cornish spring water, they create a spirit that captures both tropical and local flavours.

Cornish Apple Schnapps
Exceptionally refreshing, and the absolute definition of summer in a glass, Moorland Distillery’s Cornish Apple Schnapps (20% abv) is an artisan spirit made with a blend of apple juice, Cornish spring water, and honey.
Enjoy it over ice, in cocktails, or even with Prosecco as a ‘Cornish Royale!’
Rosemullion Malt Whiskey
Rosmullion Malt Whiskey (43% abv) is made by craft producer Rosemullion Distillery. Set in the picturesque orchard of an 1870s Cornish house, close to the Helford River, this family-run distillery makes its fine whiskey in small batches, carefully fermenting, distilling, and aging it to perfection.
The result is a whiskey that’s soft on the palate, whilst carrying a hint of malt and peat, alongside an exquisite oak flavour and aroma.
