Dijon, France-based liqueur producer Lejay Lagoute has produced a ready-mixed Kir Royal, which is a blend of French sparkling wine and macerated blackcurrants. No colouring or water is added.

Kir is said to have been created by Canon Kir, the mayor of Dijon after World War II, who gave Lejay Lagoute permission to use his name to promote its crème de cassis.

Hazel: The second release from Sylva

As the name suggests, we’ve used hazel wood as the hero of this edition alongside other familiar, native broadleaf trees, including silver birch and oak from our own forest.
