Picnicing or Shooting? - This is the must have Summer outdoor accessory

The Drinks Chest

As the summer season of Burghley, Game Fairs, picnics, trips to the races and shooting fast approaches, the must-have accessory will be the new Drinks Chest from Demijohn. Essentially a luxurious portable drinks cabinet, this upmarket item can be carried outdoors for all summer events whether to watch the horses, fish on the river or out onto the grouse moors.

Handmade in Cumbria, from oak with strong leather handles, the Drinks Chest contains eight bottles of top quality hand-made small batch Demijohn liqueurs; two 500ml cube shaped bottles for the owner’s very favourite drinks and six smaller 100ml bottles in the same attractive shape.

The sturdily constructed, yet easily carried, cabinet can be supplied with either 10 tumblers on two trays of five, or with a single tray of 14 elegant shot glasses.

The Drinks Chest

The Standard Edition Drinks Chest is delivered with its 8 bottles filled with some of Demijohn’s most popular liqueurs, including 500ml of both Bramble Scotch Whisky Liqueur 23% and Seville Orange Gin 26%, and 100mls each of Rhubarb Vodka Liqueur 20.5%, Sloe Gin 22%, Spiced Rum Liqueur 20%, Gooseberry Gin Liqueur 17%, Morello Cherry Brandy Liqueur 17% and Toffee Whisky Liqueur 20%. Together many of these make the most delicious Demijohn cocktails.

The Drinks Chest is for sale with any selection of drinks from Demijohn’s unique range of handmade British drinks, including Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The exquisite hand craftmanship of this unique drinks cabinet ensures that your picnic will always be posher than next doors’ and also looks great displayed on a sideboard or table instantly giving a room the irresistible promise of abundant hospitality!

The Drinks Chest’s combination of traditional materials and modern functionality are the result of 10 years of development. Unique to Demijohn, the Drinks Chest is designed and crafted by British Cabinet Makers in Cumbria from properly seasoned Oak sourced only from the UK and Europe.
