Given the versatility and popularity of softly fragrant, sweet vanilla, Bob was surprised that a vanilla bitters product didn’t exist already and, so, set out to create one resulting in a liquid that offers an inimitable smoky vanilla flavour.
Combine bitters and orange peel with a splash of water to the bottom of a rocks glass. Use a muddler (or the bottom of a wooden spoon) to crush the sugar with the peel until the sugar has dissolved. Add ice cubes (1 large cube is best, if you have it!), and pour the bourbon over the ice into the glass. Stir for a few seconds, then garnish with a vanilla bean or wedge of orange.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
