The year 1800 was the first time tequila was aged in oak barrels. 1800 Tequila celebrates this date: the moment when tequila first broke with conventions and did something differently to get the liquid to a smoother, more characterful place. 1800 Tequila is the world’s most awarded tequila, made from 100% Blue Agaves.

The Kraken Black Spiced Rum is an imported rum from the Caribbean blended with secret spices. Named for the sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken is bold, rich, black and smooth. The largest shipment of Caribbean black spiced rum was said to be brought down by The Kraken and the rum was named in its honour, as it was as dark and mysterious as the beast’s ink. The Kraken is best served as a ‘Perfect Storm’, large ice, ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime… Raise the Kraken!
