Spirits by country

There’s a world beyond whisky, gin, and rum, and it’s a deliciously unpredictable one. From rustic French brandies and fiery Brazilian cane spirits to elegant Japanese shochu and unapologetically boozy bottled cocktails, this is where you can shop for the misfits, masterpieces, and unsung heroes of the spirits world.

These bottles don’t always fit neatly into a category, and that’s exactly the point. Here you’ll find the weird, the wonderful, and the quietly brilliant. Unique spirits, rare spirits, and fine spirits. Absinthe, aquavit, pisco, grappa, genever, schnapps... They are born from just as rich traditions as whisky or rum, shaped by compelling and characterful terroir, and perfected by people who couldn’t care less about trends.

Discover giftable picks like Armagnac older than you are. Browse Port and sherry for Christmas and beyond. Uncover fine spirits for adventurous palates and find out why Brazil is gaga for cachaça, or how Baijiu conquered China. Buy them all and more here in our Other Spirits and Drinks section, a reminder that variety is where the fun begins.

English vermouth

Knightor Rosso Vermouth

Tasting Notes

French Champagne

Bollinger Special Cuvée

Product

Tasting Notes

First launched in 1911, this iconic Champagne blends wines from multiple crus with aged reserves to achieve Bollinger’s signature depth and richness. The name “Special Cuvée” was coined after someone decided “non-vintage” simply wasn’t good enough. They were right.

English Baijiu

Baijiu Society - The Spirit of Society

Product

Tasting Notes

A modern take on a Chinese classic, distilled right here in the UK. Made from a blend of grains and infused with star anise, clove, cinnamon, and orange oils, it’s lighter and more approachable than traditional baijiu but still full of character. Try it neat or with tonic and an orange slice.
