Shipped to the US
Met Angus in His old shop, he is Demijohn to me. We order about 3-4 times a year. Love seeing new recipes they put together. The flavor combinations are amazing. Quit ship to the US

Glenlair Visit and Demijohn Surprise
We came to Glenlair from the US to visit Maxwell's home. We were introduced to Demijohn as an unexpected bonus in the rejuvenated carriage house. The proprieters' personal attention and time, including a tour and tasting of their original and creative delectable mixtures made this visit most memorable! Their attractive and useful packaging in stacking bottles with handwritten labels makes their products a showpiece for the table not to be hidden away in a cupboard. We will definitely recommend demijohn to our friends!
