!! We Got Hitched !!

Yes, we got married last month. Our family and closest friends attended our happy nuptial in Stanthorpe. The weather was perfect, the food was amazing and of course the drinks were sublime! Only the best Castle Glen Wines, Sparkling Wines, Ports and Liqueurs were served.

Our Sparkling Chardonnay with Gold was the first of our fantastic products to be served in celebration after the ceremony, and of course for toasts. We drank so much of this wonderful Wine made in the Methode Champanoise , we have had to get some more out of our cellar to put on the shelves.

Another hit on the night was a cocktail called 'Chocolate Kiss'. This amazing cocktail is made with four of our Castle Glen Liqueurs. It is a dreamy creation of Knights Delight, Pecan & Hazelnut, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate and some real cream, shaken and served in a Martini Cocktail Glass with a strawberry on the side. If this is what it is like to be kissed by chocolate, I would line up every time. Yum!! To make this great cocktail at home, see the recipe featured below.

Everyone had a great time. Lots of drinks were had in celebration (everyone was still able to walk out the door), no one had to be carried home. With no chemicals or preservatives in our products the great Castle Glen claim was put to the test. No headaches or hangovers the next day! Everyone turned up bright and sparkly for breakfast the next morning.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our friends and family for attending and the well wishes from our customers and business associates.

Remember if you are going to drink,
drink healthy, drink Castle Glen!

Cheers (and bottoms up),

Cedric and Carol-Anne

Wonderful Whiskello, Dreamy Whiskello - A Sweet Whiskey & Caramel Treat!
Whiskello is one of Castle Glen's most popular Liqueurs. First created in 1996, Whiskello's beautiful flavour can be described as distinctly Castle Glen. It was the popularity of our Whiskey Caramel Creme Liqueur that originally gave us the idea to create a whiskey and caramel liqueur without the creme. Many of our wonderful, loyal customers have tried and bought Whiskello over the years. To our delight they have given us fantastic feedback about Whiskello and its many uses.

Recently one of our customers sent us an email describing the fantastic Christmas Cake they made using Whiskello as the fortifier instead of Rum, Whiskey or Brandy. We have many of our customers come into our Cellar Door and Satellite Cellars asking for more Whiskello to replenish their supplies.

Whiskello can be drunk straight, on ice, with lemonade, soda or milk. Whiskello also makes fantastic cocktails and shooters. Our "Sweet Virgin's Breath" Shooter, a combination of Whiskello and Coffee Creme Liqueurs is our Featured Shooter.

If you have not experienced the warm, smooth flavours of Castle Glen's Whiskello don't miss out on our special offer for the month of May.

Sticky Date Puddings with Whiskello Sauce
Serving size: Serves 6

Ingredients:

¾ cup (100g) dates, pitted and chopped
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
¾ cup (185ml) boiling water
50g butter, softened
½ cup (110g) brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour, sifted
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped

Toffee sauce

50g butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup Whiskello Liqueur
1 cup (250ml) cream

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Lightly grease a Texas muffin tin (¾ cup capacity) or small pudding basins (1 cup capacity makes 4).

Place the dates in a small bowl with bicarbonate of soda and pour boiling water over the mixture; allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Tip date mixture into a processor and process until smooth. Add butter, sugar, eggs and flour and process until just combined.

Pour mixture into a large jug and stir in the pecans.

Divide mixture evenly into prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and inserted skewer comes out clean.

For the toffee sauce, combine butter, sugar, cream and Whiskello in a small saucepan over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring sauce to the boil and cook for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated in microwave (1 minute each) to serve.
