Rum
Christopher Columbus himself introduced Sugar cane to Cuba from the Canary Islands. By the end of the 18th Century Cuba was the world's sugar reserve. During the 17th Century Locals and slaves used cane syrup to produce fermented nectar. These first Rums sometimes called Tafia, were raw, fiery and harsh- a drink for tough men, freebooters and swashbucklers!

Havana Club can trace its origins back to 1878 when Jose Arechabala, the founder of Havana Club, opened la Vizcaya distillery in Cardenas, on the Cuban Coastline. Today Havana Club is the only truly international Cuban rum brand; from Europe to South America. It symbolises the supremacy, tradition and passion of Cuban rum.

Havana Club 15yr old is pretty much a myth. It is almost impossible to find, and even harder to get. It is probably the best rum in the world and the Amber Rooms is happy to present it to you! But be warned... if you ask to mix it we will ask you to leave!

Brandy
What can we say? Remy Martin is a cognac made from Champagne grapes, it is smooth, soft and delicious. Remy Martin XIII, on the other hand, is a monster! The highest quality cognac on the market today, it's undoubtedly the world's finest.

It has always been a favourite in the world of politics, fashion and art, and its connoisseurs include Christian Dior and Elton John. Queen Elizabeth II was served Louis XIII in Versailles Palace in honour of her 1957 visit to France. Winston Churchill also toasted with it to celebrate his election victory in 1951.

It uses grapes from the Grande Champagne region. It is blended from 'eaux de vie' (water of life) some more than a hundred years old, then it's aged in 'tiercons', barrels that are several hundred years old, in a cellar set apart for it alone. What does it taste like? It will take almost a week's wages to find out!

American Whiskey
Jack Daniel's comes from the tiny town of Lynchburg (population 361) in Tennessee, which remains a dry county to this day! Every drop is mellowed through 10 feet of charcoal made from sugar maple before going into charred oak barrels for ageing. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel was once a privilege reserved only for the Jack Daniel's Master Distiller. Jack Daniel's was the first registered distillery in the USA in 1866.

Knob Creek is bourbon created by Jim Beam's grandson. It is small batch bourbon and contains a good kick!

Van Winkle is a rye whiskey. Until now rye whiskeys were only aged for 5 years old or less. This 13-year-old rye breaks the mould. It's the original aged rye whiskey. Flavours include cocoa, vanilla, spice and white pepper.
