Departed Spirits Tasting @ PWS David Jones December 2025

Spirit: Triple Distilled French Wheat Vodka Primary Flavour: Green Apple Secondary flavour: Cucumber and Lime

We searched the world for a superior quality French wheat vodka that tasted like absolutely nothing, so you could enjoy it by not tasting it at all. Triple-distilled on a five column still, it's devastatingly pure and free from citric acid, glycerine or sugar.

We then added notes of Green Apple, Tahitian Lime and Cucumber to transform a completely unassuming liquid into an ode to the crisp spring air. Welcome to a garden party for your mouth.

Spirit: Blood orangecello Primary Flavour: Blood orange Secondary Flavour: Ancho Chilli

Let’s be honest - cellos sound kinda nice and we all pretend to love them if we are on a  first date, but most of the time: BORING. Not any more. This cello is a disturbed, unhinged, raging hot mess of a drink. How, you ask? We infused zesty Australian blood orange peels with the dried husks of ancho chilli. It’s smokey, vibrant, zesty, bitter and sour.

It’s everything you ever wanted in a drink but were too self-concious and idiotic to ask for. So top it with Prosecco, top up your Negroni or drink it like a heathen - because this little number is music for your mouth. A symphony for your senses. A tango for your tastebuds. You get the drift....drink it.

Spirit: Vodka. Primary Flavour: Coffee. Secondary Flavour: Dark Chocolate.

Maker coffee roasted in Melbourne, soaked in vodka for 72 hours, cut to 30% ABV, sweetened just enough to be dangerous, and finished with a flick of dark chocolate. It’s dry, bitter, complex and full-bodied - the kind of drink that texts you at 2am and somehow still gets invited in.

Keep it cold. Shoot it shamelessly. Pour it over ice if you're feeling dishonest. Or shake it into an espresso martini.
