Carlsberg Pilsner – 24 Cans 330mL – 4.8% ALC/VOL
Price: $44.95
About Carlsberg Pilsner
Carlsberg is one of the world’s longest‑running lager brands, first brewed in Copenhagen in 1847 by J.C. Jacobsen. The brewery was named after his son, Carl, and quickly became known for its focus on consistency and brewing science. In fact, Carlsberg played a major role in developing modern lager yeast, thanks to its research laboratory established in the late 1800s.
That work helped standardise brewing practices worldwide, and the yeast strain they isolated is still used by many breweries today.
The beer itself is a straightforward European‑style lager: light in body, crisp, and built around gentle malt flavour with mild bitterness. It’s designed to be clean and easy to drink, without strong or heavy elements.
Carlsberg has kept the same general profile for generations, aiming for reliability rather than complexity. That’s a big part of why it remains popular — it’s predictable, steady and familiar.
Carlsberg is brewed under licence in several countries, including Australia, to maintain freshness and consistency. The recipe stays aligned with the original Danish style, focusing on clarity, balance and a smooth, uncomplicated taste.

Pernod Paris Liqueur – 700mL Bottle – 40% ALC/VOL
Price: $49.95
About Pernod Paris Liqueur
Pernod is one of the oldest anise‑based spirits still produced today, with origins dating back to early 1800s France. It was first created by Henri‑Louis Pernod, whose distillery became known for making absinthe long before the drink gained its later reputation. When absinthe was banned in the early 1900s, the company shifted to producing an anise spirit without wormwood, which eventually became the modern Pernod we know now.
That long history gives it a clear link to traditional European aperitif styles, but the recipe has been refined over time to keep it consistent and approachable.
The spirit is built around star anise and a mix of herbs that give it its recognisable flavour. It’s strong, aromatic and unmistakably anise‑driven, but still smooth enough to mix easily. Most people enjoy it diluted with cold water, which turns the liquid cloudy and softens the intensity, or used in cocktails where its herbal character adds depth without overwhelming the other ingredients.
It also appears in some classic cooking applications, especially seafood dishes, because a small amount adds a clear, savoury lift.
Pernod is bottled at a higher strength than many standard spirits, so a little goes a long way. It’s a steady, reliable product that has stayed true to its traditional style while remaining easy for modern drinkers to use.
5 Square Mile Rye Whiskey – 700mL Bottle – 40% ALC/VOL
Price: $75.95
About 5 Square mile Rye Whiskey
5 Square Mile Rye Whiskey is an American rye made with a straightforward, traditional approach that focuses on clear grain character and steady flavour. As the name suggests, the brand draws on the idea of small‑area distilling, a nod to the early days of American whiskey when production was local, simple and built around whatever grains were available. Rye was one of the earliest grains used in American spirits, and this whiskey keeps that link alive with a profile that leans firmly into rye’s natural spice and grainy warmth.
The whiskey shows the typical rye traits of gentle peppery spice, light sweetness and a clean, dry edge. It isn’t overly heavy or intense, making it approachable for drinkers who want a rye that’s easy to understand without losing its character. The barrel influence adds a touch of vanilla and oak, but the grain remains the main focus. It works neatly on its own, over ice or in classic rye‑based cocktails where its steady flavour holds up well.
5 Square Mile Rye Whiskey is bottled at a practical strength and made with consistency in mind, offering a reliable option for anyone who enjoys a rye that’s flavourful without being demanding.
Herradura Silver Tequila – 700mL Bottle – 40% ALC/VOL
Price: $89.95
About Herradura Silver Tequila
Herradura Tequila Silver is made at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco, one of the oldest tequila‑producing distilleries still operating in Mexico. The brand dates back to the 1870s and has built its reputation on traditional production methods, including slow‑cooking agave in clay ovens and fermenting naturally with wild yeast. That long history gives Herradura a strong link to classic tequila craftsmanship while still producing a clean, modern spirit.
The Silver expression is unaged, showing the natural character of blue agave without oak influence. It’s crisp, smooth and built around clear agave flavour with a light herbal edge. The finish is tidy and balanced, making it approachable for drinkers who want a straightforward tequila that works both neat and in cocktails. Herradura Silver is known for being slightly richer than some other blancos due to the distillery’s slower production style, but it remains clean and easy to enjoy.
As a consistent, reliable tequila with deep roots in traditional methods, Herradura Silver suits anyone looking for a genuine agave‑driven spirit without unnecessary complexity.
