Familiar with foraging forest floors for wild food and fungi, Birch and Buck master-minds, Thomas Chisholm and Rupert Waite have been delighting experimental diners for years with their wild-dining supper clubs, serving local, hyper-seasonal finds in inventive bites and nips. Bursting with ripe wild elderberries in a young whisky-spirit base, Aelder delivers deep fruity notes similar to port, with subtle hints of spice and the sweet smokiness of old leather. It can be served straight, as an accompaniment to dessert or a cheese board, or works particularly well as an alternative to creme de mure in the oh-so-Instagrammable Bramble.
