CRAFTED IN WOOD TT Liquor, the people who devised our cocktails at CDW2017, really do know their spirits; after all, they stock more than 1000 of them. And between them their experts have accumulated almost four decades of knowledge in plant and grain alcohols. When you think of what it takes to make your favourite spirit, ingredients like grapes, barley, or herbs probably come to mind. But any aged liquor owes just as much of its flavour to something which isn’t an ingredient at all: wood. From cognac to bourbon, rye to rum, many spirits spend years aging in wooden casks. Over time these casks impart all kinds of flavours. As the spirit seeps slowly into the barrel, it starts to pick up some of those aged flavours: perhaps vanilla or caramel, toffee or spice. To thank you for your time in responding to questions regarding our literature and products, you could have the opportunity to attend a special whisk(e)y or rum tasting run by TT Liquor and held at our Clerkenwell showroom. Simply visit havwoods.co.uk/feedback
Up to 60% of a single-malt Scotch’s flavour comes from the barrel in which it is aged, so it’s not just Havwoods who are passionate about wood. Take time to tell us what you think and you could develop your appreciation of your chosen liquor at our special tastings.
