The Dissertation from The Oxford Artisan Distillery

The Oxford Artisan Distillery is Oxford’s first-ever distillery and produces whisky, gin and vodka with total provenance from grain to glass. Their Oxford Rye Organic Vodka remains one of our favourite vodkas. 

The distillery recently launched 'The Dissertation', their twelfth batch of rye whisky. This new release features a high rye content in the mash bill, a lighter whisky, fragrant and golden in colour.

The whisky has been created using two distinct casks with differing mash bills. One is a Ramandolo cask (a sweet Italian wine) and the other is a traditional American Oak Cask. The Ramandolo cask was filled with a 100% rye mash bill; this has help to enhance the character of the rye population, bringing herbal and spiciness’ to the next level. The distillery's traditional mash bill (approximately 70% rye, 20% wheat and 10% malted barley) has then been used within the American Oak Cask bringing the classic Oxford profile. This combination has created a distinctive flavour profile; fruiter, fresher and spicier. 

Tasting notes: Flowers and tropical fruit play with herbs and citrus—an epic and vibrant expression of rye where candy and pastry have hints of spices.

If you are looking for a gift for a whisky-lover, then The Dissertation is a gift to impress. Distinctive, spicy and sweet, with herbiness and delicate floral flavours, this whisky would be a great gift for someone who likes to sip quality whisky!

The Dissertation from The Oxford Artisan Distillery is £97.50 and available on the website www.theoxfordartisandistillery.com

As reporter Grace investigates the killing of a cyclist, memories of another murder begin to possess her - the murder she committed... Trying to comes to terms with the crime she believes she has got away with, Grace starts writing her confession. In this twisty-turny domestic thriller, the reader finds out the reasons for the crime of passion that took place on Grace’s wedding day.

Sarah Needs Saving by DCR Bond

Sarah, a determined, good-looking, and highly organised woman, marries into the wealthy and snobbish Fetherston family. She works hard to gain approval from her high-and-mighty in-laws and her new acquaintances. Besides being a mum to her daughter Mary and taking care of her forgetful husband, she also does a lot of work for charity committees.

One day, Sarah uncovers a shocking secret that's too close to her beautiful home in Devon than she could have ever imagined. She decides to keep quiet to protect her family, but this decision quickly goes wrong, trapping her in the clutches of a deceitful con artist, and her well-structured life begins to fall apart.

With nobody to talk to, Sarah has to figure out how to rescue her family, her marriage, and her own freedom. Can she uncover the lies and shield her loved ones, or will she lose it all?

Full of suspense and drama, this book by DCR Bond was difficult to put down. I enjoyed reading this one - it is beautifully written, gripping and deals with many real-life issues. Great read and would make a great gift.
