Rock Rose Winter Spiced Negroni 
Why not treat yourself to a deliciously festive tipple this Christmas. Dunnet Bay Distiller’s Winter Spiced Negroni has been allowed to rest with orange and pink grapefruit zest for eight weeks. This brings the perfect balance of flavours and just the right amount of bitterness to the drink. Cheers!
