• After Rupert Patrick uncovered the secret to his family’s ancient blend, he needed a Master Blender to revive it and headed straight to Norman Mathison’s door. Using the same malts and grains in the blend as the Eadie family used over 150 years ago, (including some famous names like Aberlour, Talisker, Glendronach and Blair Athol for the whisky pros amongst you), they created a smooth, complex, smoky whisky that boasts a beautifully long finish.

• It’s already making waves in the industry, picking up a gold medal at the World Whisky Awards and 90/100 points from ScotchWhisky.com - the ultimate bible of Scotch. This was the highest score ever awarded to a blend under £60. Boom.

• Angels and Archangels alike have all trekked up to Scotland to help bring this ancient blend back to life and Rupert is so grateful for such enthusiastic and heartfelt support. All that’s left to do now is pour yourself a wee dram and take a true sip back in time…

• It was very exciting for us to develop a Mediteranean gin just for Angels!
• We have a small, artisan distillery and couldn’t have realized this project without the collaboration of Naked Wines and their Angels.
• Our Rambla 41 gin has a fruity feel, with a fine creamy texture thanks to the herbs and almonds. Rambla 41 is non-chill filtered, so you might notice a slight cloudiness to the gin, which is completely harmless to drink, and only adds to the flavour!

• Thanks to the success of our first Angel-funded gin, we decided to make a limited edition version using the same base gin to share with you this year.
• Rambla 41 Lot d'Hivern is a smooth and fruity gin, with a balance of aromas including juniper and figs amongst the flavours you should experience. 
• It has been non-chill filtered, so you might notice a slight cloudiness to the gin, which is completely harmless to drink, and only adds to the flavour!

• My gins are like my babies, and thanks to your support this is my third (and probably my favourite) gin. I’m like a proud father! This year I went a bit more classical. Citrus fruits and gin have always been a classic combination. I wanted to bring a taste of the Mediterranean and all of the wonderful citrus fruit we have.
• Orange, mandarin and lemon, but the main ingredient is grapefruit - in my opinion one of the most beautiful citrics.
• This gin is only possible because you believe in me. I hope you are rewarded with the taste of sunshine, the Mediteranean sea, fun times in Barcelona. You can taste it all in there. So sip it and see - it’s an experience, much more than a gin and tonic, it’s a party in a glass!

• Chile may not be a well known gin producer but, with some of the world's most unique herbs and botanicals grown in their own backyard, Lady has made something really rather special exclusively for Angels.
• Silky smooth, with citrus and herbal notes on the nose, this is a super elegant gin with a fantastically spicy finish.
• A gin of this quality needs a tonic to match so pour in some of the good stuff, add in the ice cubes and finish with a slice of chilli to really bring all those flavours to life.

• At Christmas 2013 we organized a cocktail party in Barcelona to showcase the first gin I ever made...

• This new adventure took a fabulous turn when Naked came into the picture in 2015. In honour of our relationship we botted an exclusive, limited edition, of my first gin creation; BCN GIN! 
• It’s an elixir of Priorat grapes combined with the purity of fresh cut Mediterranean botanicals. Made exclusively for Angels. Salut!

• I decided to bottle the Negroni cocktail I make at home - so Angels can enjoy a glass! I mixed my Rambla 41 Lot d’Hivern Gin with the Rambla 41 Vermouth and our own bitters created from almonds and orange peel.
• Bright red, simple and sophisticated at the same time, my Negroni has a complex flavour, full of dry, sweet and bitter nuances. Thank you Naked Angels for your support and giving me the confidence to create this very special classical Italian cocktail with my own twist. I hope you enjoy! 
• I serve it cold in an old-fashioned type glass on the rocks with an orange wedge or twisted peel. Once open store in the fridge so you are always ready for a party! My Negroni cocktail is non chill filtered and may become cloudy.

• Our village is famous for its vermouth. It’s a gorgeous drink that we whip out at any excuse and I wanted you Angels to taste it too - your investment has made this whole thing entirely possible.
• Thanks to the local botanicals you get orange peel and elderflower on the nose. It's slightly sweet to start, with a deliciously complex palate of herbs and a bitter ending - a truly authentic experience that's ideal as an aperitif.
• My vermouth is non-chill filtered, so you might notice a slight cloudiness, or even tiny botanicals floating about. These are completely harmless to drink, and only add to the flavour!

• Awaiting copy

• Husband and wife team David and Fiona Armstrong forage wild clover and juniper from their sprawling 500-acre historical estate in Co. Down, Northern Ireland, before drawing fresh water from their historical well to make their handcrafted Irish craft gin.
• Like the name suggests, their Angels' Edition Gin has been blended especially with Angels in mind. To add a lovely balance and make the local botanicals sing, David blended Australian lemon myrtle for creaminess and Grains of Paradise for a sweet and spicy kick.
• The gin mellows in copper pots for one-and-a-half days, infusing the oils from the botanicals and giving the gin a round, smooth texture. Beautiful aromas of orange peel, lavender, star anise, cardamom and chamomile are in perfect harmony with the fresh citrusy flavours.  Add a twist of lemon to make the vibrant flavours 'pop'.

• We sipped our way through 20 different gins in one day to pick out the perfect one. In the end, Stefan Lismond’s brand new Lemon version of his Angel-favourite Rambla 41 came out on top.

• Citrus fruits and gin are a classic combo - think gin, tonic, slice of lemon/lime… magic - and Stefan has access to wonderful fruit working where he does on the Mediterranean. He sourced local lemons from the hills around Barcelona and, with his famous care and attention to detail, he imparted their bright, refreshing flavours straight into your craft Gin.

• This is a standout citrus Gin, beautiful aromas of lemon thyme and orange peel on the nose. And when you take a drink it’s like sipping the freshly squeezed juice of lemons, orange and grapefruit. With all that soft, juicy citrus on the palate. For a special G&T experience, mix this with your natural tonic water from Bermondsey, then pop your feet up on the sofa and sup away to some classic Christmas telly. Cheers!
