As famous a brand as there is in the world of cigars, the H. Upmann brand dates back to 1844, when Her-man Upmann, a German banker, began using specially imprinted boxes of cigars as promotional items for his banking firm. The combination proved successful, so the H. Upmann brand was born and continues to this day. The famous request of President John F. Kennedy to his press secre-tary, Pierre Salinger, to obtain cigars on the evening prior to the declara-tion of the American trade embargo in 1961, was for Petit Upmanns. Available in a stunning range of handmade and machine-made sizes, the brand offers a mild to medium strength. Visit the Clerkenwell Collection this Christmas for all your cigar needs.

Made with 100% pinot noir using skin contact, also known as the saignée method, Laurent-Perrier’s know-how and attention to quality produces a finely crafted rosé with both depth and freshness. It has become the benchmark for rosé Champagne around the world.

Campbell Distillers, owner of the critically acclaimed single malts Aberlour and Edradour, asked Riedel to come up with a glass that would highlight the very special characteristics of single malt whisky. And so, in early 1992, a panel of single malt experts was convened at Riedel’s headquarters in Austria to test a range of different glasses. On the basis of this first selection, George Riedel undertook further research with the help of master distillers in Scotland. The result is this glass: an elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem. The design incorporates a small, slightly outturned lip that directs the spirit onto the lip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to bring out the elegant creaminess of a top-quality single malt.

RIEDEL - SOMMELIERS MALT WHISkYwww.riedel.com £25

In September 1992, a group of Bri-tian’s leading single malt experts gath-ered in London to test the prototype. They agreed that the subtle aromas of the whisky were lost in a traditional tumbler; brandy balloons emphasised the alcohol at the expense of finesse; and the copita tended to magnify the oak components to such an ex-tent that the whisky began to take on cagnac-like characteristics. The Riedel glass emerged as the clear win-ner, bringing forward the pure malt character of all the whiskies tasted by concentrating their aromas and ac-centuating their softness, roundness and silkiness.

Our TASTE receptors are sensitive to sweet, sour, salty and bitter sensations. These translate wine to fruit, acidity, minerality, and bitter components which create an emotional “flavor picture” on the palate. The correct selection of glass shape highlights the fruit, and shows supporting flavor contributors in an equally balanced way. The Big O Red Wine Set gives the possibility to experience the different tastes and smells.Set includes the following:

• Riedel Big O Stemless Cabernet Wine Glass

• Riedel Big O Pinot Noir Stemless Wine Glass

• Riedel Big O Syrah Stemless Wine Glass

A simple yet highly designed collec-tion, Riedel’s H20 barware subtly conveys upscale urban cool. This set of two whisky/double-old fashioned glasses features sleek cylindrical shaping crafted from finely cut, transparent glass. With no distinct base, the sides drop straight from the rim to the bottom with seamless, uninterrupted fluidity. Each glass stands 3-7/8 inches tall and holds 15-1/8 ounces-ample dimensions that give the vessel a spacious yet structural presence to showcase the beverage and ice within. Produced by the world-renowned Austrian glassmaker, the set meets the same exacting standards Riedel requires of all its pieces.

In 2006 Riedel introduced a casual way to enjoy Champagne and Spar-kling Wine with the arrival of the “O” Champagne Glass, which has now been revised in a more elegant but still casual appearance. After all, there is something worth celebrat-ing every day. As with all wine glasses, Riedel recommends filling it only a third full, so that the Champagne/Sparkling Wine aromas are evident. So pick up a Prosecco, serve a Cali-fornia sparkler, pop open a bottle of Champagne or pour a Spanish Cava into the new Riedel Champagne & Sparkling Wine Glass.
