For sophisticated sippers
Get into the Father’s Day spirit with our fabulous blended whisky and rum spirit drink. With rich, silky smooth, tropical notes with a hint of vanilla, our rum spirit drink is blended by our expert in Dijon, France.
To make our blended whisky, grain whisky is matured in red wine casks, which gives it a beautiful deep mahogany gold colour and imparts wonderful flavours of ripe plums, black cherries and a gentle spice. This marries perfectly with the complex blend of malts, the majority which are Highland with a splash of Speyside to give an overall sweet and smooth character with some crisp apple, toffee and hint of buttery pastry. The result is a rich and fruity spirit with notes of almonds, candied orange peel and a delicate sprinkle of cinnamon.

Recipe: Hog roast burger with spicy sweetcorn
If you want maximum flavour with minimal effort, try this quick-fire dinner recipe using our hog roast doughnut burgers. Cook 4 hog roast doughnut burgers on the barbecue according to the pack instructions. Meanwhile, lightly brush 4 sweetcorn cobettes with vegetable oil and cook on the barbecue for 3-4 minutes a side, until tender and lightly charred all over. Halve 4 brioche buns and put onto the barbecue cut side down until toasted. Serve the burgers in the buns with plenty of salad leaves. Drizzle the cobettes with buffalo sauce and enjoy with a spoonful of coleslaw on the side.
