Favourite whisky

Alex Badescu

Life is short and there's a lot of whisk(e)y to try, but I keep going back to Redbreast 12yo. Easy drinking but by no means simple.

Giovana Petry

My absolute favourite bourbon is Angel's Envy. It's a must-have at home! Wonderfully smooth, well-rounded, and with a delicious sweet finish.

William Baxter

My favourite whisky is Glenfarclas because I love sherry-matured whisky, and the creamy vanilla notes.

Favourite RUM

Tristan Bush

Project 173 is an absolute must-have for your home bar. They come at a very good price and also look really pretty on the shelf.

Stewart Wilhelm

I love Kraken because I think it makes the smoothest Rum & Coke and is spiced perfectly. Also the limited edition bottle designs are really cool.

Adam O'Connell

Foursquare creates rum that makes you realise how good rum can be.

Favourite GIN

Kaitlyn Lloyd

My favourite gin is Bathtub Gin Grapefruit & Rosemary because of the rich and delicate taste. I love having it with tonic water and a slice of grapefruit.

Omar Al-jumaili

Tanqueray 10 is a great gin as its dry and crisp but with a lovely citrus taste. The bottle is also premium, and as it is so tall really stands out.

Emma Symmons

The Botanist was a turning point for me when it comes to gin appreciation!

Favourite Mezcal

Danni Coletta

I love using Dos Hombres in my cocktails. A smooth, delicious mezcal. Fruity with a beautiful smoky finish, perfect for a twist on the classics!

Dave Worthington

Del Maguey is a great choice for anyone looking to experience the cultural heritage, and flavours, of traditional mezcal production.

Henry Jeffreys

The mezcals from Montelobos have a rare elegance and depth of flavour.

Favourite Tequila

Charlotte Gorzelak

Patrón values sustainability. I like to drink it in a Paloma in the sun.

Henry Jeffreys

Ocho bottles single farm Tequilas that are packed with fresh fruity notes.

Jess Williamson

VIVIR knows how to make the agave shine, and looks good while doing it!

Favourite cognac

Ayla Toye

Courvoisier evokes strong memories of relaxing by the fire at Christmas time with my mum, who introduced me to it. It's a beautifully sweet brandy.

Josh McCartney

My favourite cognac is Hine because it's floral, fruity and balanced. It works really well in cocktails, or with food, and the bottle looks great too!

Libby Weller

A perfect mix of sweet and fruity yet still warm and cosy, Hennessy is a favourite of mine through all seasons.

Favourite Vodka

Tiphaine Robin

Grey Goose for me is the perfect vodka because it's smooth and clean, and has a gentle hint of sweetness.

Richard Legg

With Black Cow Vodka the milk gives it a delicate aroma, but creamy mouthfeel, perfect for mixing.

Eleanor Blackwell

My favourite vodka is Absolut Vanilla because it works so well in some of my favourite homemade cocktails, especially an Espresso or Pornstar Martini!
