We picked up these when we visited Corfu recently and we can’t wait to try them. Anyone else tried these or similar made with Kumquats?
The trademark of Corfu is the kumquat liqueur and the Kumquat liqueur stands out for its quality. It’s produced by extracting rare citrus kumquat alcohol, in a traditional way, which is transferred from generation to generation for years.

🚨 LAST CALL 🚨 Don’t miss your chance to snag our very last bottle of “Strange Bedfellows”! 🍹✨
https://craftyconnoisseur.co.uk/product/strange-bedfellows-drinks-lab-spirits/
This unique spirit is a perfect marriage of a bespoke dark Rum and a single cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. After developing eighteen different Rums, the distillers finally chose a dark ruby Rum with notes of Raspberries and Cinnamon. Paired with a light and creamy Single Malt Scotch from the Scottish Highlands, bursting with orange zest and fudge notes, this blend is truly one of a kind.
The sweet and fruity Rum combined with the smoky, earthy Whisky creates a complex and flavourful drink that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or as the base for your favourite cocktail. 🎉
Don’t wait—grab your bottle now before it’s gone forever! 🥃🌟

🌊 Ahoy, Crafty Crew! 🌊
Sorry for the radio silence—Team Crafty has been off sailing the high seas on the stunning Marella Explorer! 🚢✨
Our adventure kicked off with a week exploring the Greek Islands, hitting dreamy spots like Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes. Then we cruised up the Adriatic coast, soaking in the beauty of Dubrovnik, Trieste, and Kotor. 🌴🌊
We left behind 40°C heat in Corfu, only to return to a classic cold and wet Scottish summer. 🌧️ But no worries, we’re back and ready for whatever summer throws our way!
Stay tuned for some exciting new projects we can’t wait to share with you. See you at our upcoming events! 💫

Our story
We work with small hand crafted producers in the food & drink sector. Those little rarities that are in fact little delicacies. We strive to bring spirits from all over the world to people who will appreciate them.
We were the first company to import Ink Gin from Australia into the UK and indeed into Europe. There are also a number of Jamaican rums we are bringing in as well as gin and vodka.
We also work very closely with local producers and distilleries here in Scotland for both the UK and International markets.
If you are looking for the special drink you had on holiday, why not drop us a message and see if we have it or if we know where to get it.
