Product Information

We’ve mixed American Citra and British Admiral hops to create a full-bodied IPA that’ll get you into the groove this Record Store Day.

Halewood Artisanal Spirits global marketing director Rachel Adams said: “With an extra Bank Holiday and a weekend full of celebrations, the coronation will present a huge sales opportunity for retailers and licensees this May. Salcombe Distilling Co. co-founder Howard Davies said: "The non-alcoholic space is exciting and fast-growing, and has provided us with an opportunity to get creative by exploring innovative techniques and processes. To create the triad of new whiskies, the spirit was first matured in American Oak (Quercus Alba) ex-Bourbon Barrels before undergoing a finishing period of approximately 18 months in the different oak varieties. This is our third year as official beer partner to RSD UK and this beer symbolises the important relationship between the US and UK, both musically and in beer.” The new Baileys Deliciously Light is the latest innovation from the world’s biggest-selling liqueur brand. Made with Irish cream and whiskey, the liqueur has ‘rich cocoa and vanilla flavours’.How is that even possible? I wasn't sure but - for science - I was willing to test out their claims by putting the two versions head to head. Look With its rich London heritage and quality London Dry gin distilling credentials, Whitley Neill is perfectly positioned to help maximise this opportunity with the launch of this striking Limited Edition Coronation Gin offering. At first glance, the Original seemed a little darker and the Light version a little, well, lighter. But you could only really see the difference if you really got down to compare the meniscus levels (I'm not sure my GCSE science teacher would ever have expected me to use that concept in this context), as you can see in the photo above. The other main difference is in terms of consistency. They're both smooth and delicious but the Light version is a little thinner than the Original. Not enough to be off-putting and it's not like it tastes watery or anything, but there is a definite difference there, although it actually made the Light feel slightly more drinkable in warmer weather. London-based Meantime Brewing Company has teamed up with Record Store Day UK (RSDUK) to create Double Groove (4.7% ABV).

Diageo has released a ‘lighter’ version of its Baileys cream liqueur, which is 40% lower in calories and sugar than the flagship variant. Baileys Deliciously Light has 40% less calories and sugar than its core variant A 2.5oz (71ml) serving of the new liqueur contains 139 calories and 7.8g of sugar. In comparison, a 2.5oz pour of Baileys Original Irish Cream contains 233 calories and 13.3g of sugar. It's a tough job and I've put it off for long enough but it's time to compare the most important factor - the taste. Stacey Cunningham, director of Baileys and liqueurs, Diageo North America, said: “We all deserve a little treat and with the launch of Baileys Deliciously Light, it’s the perfect reminder for us to take that well-deserved time for ourselves this year.”

Without a doubt, one of the best parts of the day is when you can finally take a moment and treat yourself to a much-needed break,” said Harris. “However, many of us forget to do just that. As we ease into 2021, it’s obvious that we all need to take it easy every now and then. Twisting open the cap of the Lighter version you get a hit of the same slightly sweet scent with a vanilla-ish edge. Comparing it with the bottle of Original from my cupboard it's completely indistiguishable. Verdict: Negligible difference unless you've got a magnifying glass out - which feels like unnecessary faff all things considered. Smell
