Northampton’s rich and proud heritage in quality shoemaking was established in the medieval times and is still widely considered the place for high quality shoes today. One of the town’s most famous manufacturers is Church’s, which went from being a family owned, craft workshop into a world icon for luxury men’s footwear.

Calvin Klein CK Eager

Calvin Klein CK Eager Watch
Calvin Klein: CK Eager

For every discerning gentleman, what you wear on your wrist says a lot about you. The practicality of a watch may be somewhat diminished with smartphones, tablets, iPods and the host of other devices we use in our day to day life which all accurately display the time; however this does not take way from the impact that a watch can give to your style. The right timepiece around your wrist can speak volumes. Whilst personal taste has a lot to play with your watch selection, a personal favourite of ours is the beautiful CK Eager, with its black leather strap connected by chrome screws. Subtle and stylish.

Balvenie 14 Year Old / Caribbean Cask

The Balvanie 14 years Caribbean Cask
The Balvanie 14 years Caribbean Cask

Perhaps one of the most insightful quotes ever to be ushered in human history came from the mouth of a simple anchorman, Ron Burgundy: “I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly…” OK, so maybe “in human history” was a slight exaggeration, but still, we share Ron’s sentiments and we adore the Balvenie 14 year old Caribbean Cask.  Matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, the whisky is then wonderfully finished in ex-rum casks. But not just any old rum casks – Malt Master David Stewart filled these casks with his own original blend of West Indian rums to ensure the whisky adopted just the right flavours. Magnificent. The only problem you will have with this whisky is trying to make it last.
