Unusually, I feel that I should begin this review with something of an apology, as I am about to tell you how good they are without explaining exactly where or how you can acquire them.

Noctails, are cocktails that are made for the night, but to be honest, they will taste pretty good at any time.

The Nocturnal Cocktail Kit only available in their sporadic competitions but when you see it advertised, I advise you to act quickly as they are well worth winning.

This is the best advice I can give you is that these Noctails will be popping up throughout the year, so make a note and you can thank me later.

The full-bodied Sexton, Irish Single Malt Whiskey is definitely worth seeking out and is available from Amazon as well as Waitrose and other selected outlets):  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sexton-Single-Malt-Irish-Whiskey/dp/B07L15WVCS , and even if you can’t get hold of the kit, you can always get the constituents to make some seriously delicious cocktails.

Unconventional and edgy, The Sexton Whiskey satisfies even the most restless of spirits. A single malt to be drunk however you like…even in the dark.

 

I can thoroughly recommend the Rhubarb Sour, which was a clever balance of sweet and sour, but beware I found it to be addictively moreish, even the Maraschino cherry, (words that I thought that I would never write.)

The Noctail mixologists have really mixed things up (see what I did there?) so if you manage to get hold of the cocktail kit it contains all the ingredients that you need to make two exclusive cocktails made from ingredients that thrive in the darkness scientifically -proven to be sweeter than those grown in the daylight.

From forced rhubarb to dried mushroom, each ‘Noctail’ kit contains all the nocturnal ingredients needed to create two signature ‘Noctails’ – The Rhubarb Sour and the Umami Old Fashioned

The Umami Old Fashioned, a revision of the classic Old Fashioned, containing mushrooms, maple syrup, Angostura bitters and of course, The Sexton Single Malt Whiskey

The Rhubarb Sour, a midnight-take on The Whiskey Sour, featuring forced rhubarb, organic cinnamon, maraschino cherries and apple cider vinegar.

Hopefully, you know me better than to think that I would just tease you about Noctails so here is a link to the recipe for the Rhubarb Sour. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMUu_HTF9di/
