WILLIE’S CACAO LAUNCH CHOCOLATE TASTING BOX

The Chocolate Discovery box: 10 artisan chocolate bars delivered
through your letterbox, 2 of which are Magnificent Creations not
available in the shops. Perfect for Virtual Chocolate Tastings with
friends. Available as a one off or on a monthly subscription.
Willie’s Cacao is launching a unique Chocolate Tasting Box so people can do Virtual Chocolate Tastings at
home guided by Willie Harcourt Cooze in Tasting Videos. You’ll discover the beautiful pure flavours of
real chocolate, craft made ‘bean to bar’ from some of the best single estate cacaos in the world and
100% natural ingredients. This can be done as a one off event or you can take out a subscription and do
it monthly. It is a wonderful way to bring family, friends and colleagues together to jointly discover
something new and to create shared experiences.
Chocolate pioneer, Willie Harcourt-Cooze, has picked 10 of his artisan chocolate bars to go in his
Chocolate Discovery box. Most exciting, is that these will include two chocolates from his series of
Magnificent Creations, chocolates Willie has made from particularly unusual ingredients or rare beans.
“This is my opportunity to share all the incredible chocolates I have experimented with over the years,”
says Willie. “These special edition chocolates won’t be in any shop! You can only get them direct from
Willie’s Cacao in my Chocolate Discovery Box.”
It will be a journey of discovery as you discover what is so special about ‘bean to bar chocolate’. Willie
will make Chocolate Tasting Videos about each box that you can watch at Willie’s TV on the Willie’s
Cacao website. They will be full of stories from his cocoa farm in Venezuela, of his visits to remote farms
and experiments in his factory. You’ll learn the history of each bar and why he makes it like he does. If
more than one household is doing it, each one needs a Discovery box, then all you need is for one
person on the zoom call to be watching the video and sharing their screen.
Launched on 9th October, in preparation for Christmas. Choose between a Milk, White and Dark
Chocolate Box, or an All Dark Chocolate Box that is suitable for vegans and dairy free.
The single boxes cost £20 or a monthly subscription can be taken out for 3, 6 or 12 months. Both are
delivered in a letterbox sized package so you don’t even need to be at home.
3 month subscription: £19.25 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
6 month subscription: £18.75 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
12 month subscription: £18.00 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
Willie’s Cacao is known for the incredibly pure flavours of its chocolate. It is all craft made from the
worlds’ great single estate cacaos and 100% natural ingredients. This takes up to 3 weeks, compared to
industrial chocolate that is made in a few hours. Willie buys all his cacaos direct trade so the money goes
straight to the farmers; being a farmer himself, giving farmers a fair return is at the heart of his business.

Turn Back Time With The Retro Console

Turn back the clocks with this retro handheld console from Orb Gaming. It features a 2.2-inch LCD screen with built-in speakers. The cool console includes an amazing 200 8-bit games for nostalgia-inspired fun! Right, up, left, left, down, up. You know the score, it brings back the memories of those Saturday morning TV shows, where you’d see games on the TV and have a chance of winning some mediocre prizes. Unfortunately for most children their parents wouldn’t let anyone use the only phone in the house in case they got a call from a family relative. They never came and you’d shout the instructions to the TV in vain.

Not only is the console great to put to bed those deep psychological scares and years of pain, it allows you to play for hours on end, without having to change the game cartridge every time you wanted to switch games.

It’s cheaper than the latest PS5 without the online queues and hype. Let’s go all out it’s cheaper than an additional PS5 controller, any game, online pass and best of all it needs NO WiFi. Crazy Talk.

So go full-retro, switch off your WiFi, switch off your phone, write a note for the milkman, go buy a quarter of boiled sweets, lose a tooth and buy some 1p sweets and grab the retro consoler today. Unfortunately, you can’t order through mail order, so will just need to use the WiFi one last time to head over to Urban Outfitters.

Grab the console, grab your tin hat, unplug the WiFi and go retro! The Orb Retro Gaming Console costs £16 from Urban Outfitters

Vic Lee’s Corona Diary 2020: A personal illustrated journal of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020

An extraordinary memento of a life-changing moment in history, artist Vic Lee’s visually stunning, graphic novel–style personal diary chronicles his experience of the coronavirus pandemic as it unfolded.

With beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and typography, Vic Lee’s Corona Diary vividly captures what it was like to live through this unprecedented period. Listening to daily news stories, experiencing different ways of living and working as well as adapting to new and necessary social controls, renowned London artist, illustrator and storyteller Vic Lee documents the first six months of the pandemic in real time. An epilogue spread touches on the events of July, August and September.

Reflect on and process the unforgettable events of the pandemic through an intimate account in images and lettering of the initial news from a place called Wuhan, Italy’s first cases then state of emergency, its spread across the world and the WHO’s declaration of a global pandemic, the lockdown and toilet paper shortages, the economic fallout, the unfathomable numbers of people dead, the immense gratitude to those on the frontline of the health services, the reactions and decisions made by leaders that would affect us all, the anxiety and isolation – all the twists and turns.

While this work of art is a snapshot of one person’s experience, it conveys events experienced and emotions felt by billions around the world – a permanent record of a time we will never forget.

THE FAMOUS GROUSE LAUNCHES THE SPIRIT OF RUGBY CAMPAIGN IN THE UK AND AGREES SPONSORSHIP DEALS FOR PREMIERSHIP RUGBY, THE BRITISH & IRISH LIONS AND SA RUGBY, AND THE GLASGOW WARRIORS

· The Famous Grouse has agreed a landmark three-year deal to become the Official Whisky of Premiership Rugby

· The UK’s no.1 Whisky will be the Official Sponsor of The British & Irish Lions and SA Rugby for the duration of the Lions tour to South Africa

· A new three-year contract with the Glasgow Warriors will see the partnership celebrate its 10-year anniversary this coming season

THURSDAY 12TH NOVEMBER 2020, LONDON: The Famous Grouse, the no.1 Whisky in the UK, has today launched its brand-new The Spirit of Rugby campaign and announced Official Partnerships with Premiership Rugby, The British & Irish Lions, SA Rugby and Glasgow Warriors.

The announcement builds on more than 30 years of heritage with the sport of rugby as the brand looks to continue to drive engagement with fans across the UK.

The whisky brand shares many similarities with the sport such as skill, craft and an unwavering dedication to be the best of the best. The Famous Grouse will celebrate such common values through its The Spirit of Rugby campaign, leveraging these exciting partnerships to engage with rugby fans and embody the sport’s unparalleled sportsmanship and camaraderie.

Aristotelis Baroutsis, Global Managing Director, The Famous Grouse at Edrington, said: “The Famous Grouse has been investing in the sport of rugby for the past 30 years, and we are very proud to have reaffirmed our commitment to this great game by agreeing these three exciting new partnerships at both international and club level to celebrate The Famous Grouse as The Spirit of Rugby.”

Mark Riley, Managing Director at Edrington-Beam Suntory UK, said: “As the UK’s number one whisky, we recognise the value of team spirit and the level of determination required to be the best. This is synonymous with the desire, pride and camaraderie that we see every matchday out on the rugby field. These new partnerships are yet another significant milestone in The Famous Grouse’s journey to deliver fruitful collaborations which benefit all stakeholders, and particularly supporters of rugby.”

The Famous Grouse has agreed a landmark deal to be the Official Whisky of Premiership Rugby for three years, taking the partnership through to the culmination of the 2022/23 season.

The agreement will see the brand enjoy ownership of ‘The Famous Grouse Try of the Week’, as well as the right to host experiential activations across the season, culminating with the Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham where fans will also have the opportunity to benefit from a behind-the-scenes tour. Fans will also see the brand feature throughout the 20/21 season on Channel 5 highlights and selective live games, pitch-side LED, a website takeover and within each matchday programmes.

Mark Brittain, Chief Commercial Officer at Premiership Rugby, said: “We’re delighted to welcome The Famous Grouse on board as the Official Whisky of Premiership Rugby for the next three seasons. It’s fantastic that The Famous Grouse have shown a commitment to Premiership Rugby during these times and is a testament to the growing strength of the competition within the U.K. sporting landscape. The Famous Grouse has a proud track record of developing strong relationships with rugby fans as a result of decades of involvement in this great sport. We’re excited to work with the brand to engage with supporters throughout the season.”

The Famous Grouse will be the Official Whisky of The British & Irish Lions and SA Rugby for the duration of the Lions tour to South Africa.

The Famous Grouse will have access to players from The Lions and Springbok squads, revealing stories of the signature team spirit and camaraderie found in both sides. There will be an activation space at each match and in key fan zones, as well as opportunities to watch a Lions’ training session and enjoy a matchday behind-the-scenes tour. The brand will have ownership of The Spirit of Rugby narrative to creative exclusive content. The Lions trademark will also feature on The Famous Grouse bottles and selected glassware, as well as appearing on pitch-side LED, the official series websites, and in the matchday programmes.

Ben Calveley, Managing Director at The British & Irish Lions, said: “We are delighted to have agreed a partnership with The Famous Grouse ahead of our Tour to South Africa next year. It is a brand known for its innovative and engaging approach to sponsorship and we look forward to working together to create a truly memorable Series.”

Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby, said: “We’re very excited to be introducing the proud history and heritage of the Springboks to The Famous Grouse as we welcome The Lions to the shores of South Africa in 2021. Fans can expect South Africa to be warm and hospitable hosts as we appreciate one of the biggest sporting occasions in world rugby. We’ll toast to that.”

The Famous Grouse has agreed a new three-year contract with the Glasgow Warriors which will see the partnership celebrate its 10-year anniversary this coming season.

Having first come on board prior to the 2011/12 season, the Glasgow-based company renewed its long-standing partnership sponsoring the Scotstoun side as the club’s Official Whisky.

The Famous Grouse will have ownership of the ‘The Famous Moment’ of the week and continued use of The Famous Grouse Bothy for hospitality. The brand will also enjoy access to a range of Glasgow Warriors players for creating a content series for social media, in addition to half-time sponsorship activations. As part of the agreement, The Famous Grouse will benefit from broadcast advertising during every Pro14 Glasgow Warriors game.

Glasgow Warriors, Managing Director, Nathan Bombrys added: “It’s excellent news that The Famous Grouse have decided to continue their partnership with Glasgow Warriors for another three seasons. We’re looking forward to celebrating our 10-year anniversary together with Scotland’s favourite whisky. The Famous Grouse has become an integral part of the Glasgow match day experience, and their outstanding support has helped shape our club’s story over the past decade. “We look forward to continuing our story together.”

Whether you’re gathering with your loved ones this year, bring them some warmth this holiday season.

Cheese Therapy is Australia’s only artisan cheese hamper company. Cheese Therapy creates a different box each month that features four Australian-made cheeses. The box is a “curated tasting experience” and each box contains a booklet with a story of the specific cheese and cheese maker.

Cheese Therapy has experienced phenomenal growth (up 3600%) after coming to the rescue of local cheesemakers who were impacted by a lack of tourism from the bushfires and COVID-19. They have now partnered with 17 cheesemakers throughout Australia, who, thanks to Cheese Therapy have the freedom to make products they’ve always wanted to. It also means those who receive the boxes have the opportunity to try never-before-made cheeses or those not readily available – one cheese for example hadn’t been made for 15 years before it was featured in a Cheese Therapy box.

Cheese Therapy’s website is www.cheesetherapy.com.au.
