This series spotlights the overlooked spirits and modifiers that deserve more than a supporting role, showing how one bottle can inspire three simple, mixable cocktails. No elaborate prep or multi-day infusions; just clever builds you’ll actually want to make. Whether you’re experimenting at home or behind the bar, consider it a reminder that every bottle has more to give.

This edition features Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny Port, a fortified wine bottled at 20 per cent ABV and made from traditional red grapes grown in Portugal’s Douro Valley. Blended from Ports aged an average of ten years in seasoned oak, it layers ripe berries and fig with nuts, butterscotch, chocolate and fine oak.
