Intensely bitter since its inception in 1845, Fernet-Branca has been produced according to the original recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. The bitters are made from 27 herbs and other ingredients. The exact formula is a trade secret known only to the Fernet-Branca president, Niccolò Branca, who personally measures out the aromatics during the production process. It's the perfect digestif!

Producer notes ~

From The Producer ~ Amaro 16 is a handcrafted and unfiltered amaro, infused and macerated with 16 botanicals gathered from our own farms. Inspired by an ancient tradition of the monks, our amaro is authentically artisan at every stage of its creation. (25% ABV)

Fred Jerbis doesn't do anything half way, and this Fernet is consistent with that approach. A little sweeter than most other Fernets, and vety complex.

Producer notes ~ "A fearless vermouth: 16 botanicals from the area and aging in cherry wood barrels to relive nostalgic scents. A red wine, an authentic Friulian Schioppettino, to give peppery notes and an enveloping flavor. Aging in cherry barriques gives this vermouth hints of red fruits and a structured aroma. The color is ruby ​​red with purple hues and the perfume is elegant and full. A simple but refined taste: bitter and savory at first, with a persistent and fruity body and a fresh finish, with herbaceous and licorice hints.."

Notes from the Producer ~ "A classic French liqueur made from a maceration of fresh raspberries, sipped as a cordial and used to add a juicy, raspberry kick to cocktails." 16% ABV.

This bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of Bottled-in-bond. It is made from one distillery, in one distillation season, aged for a minimum of 4 years, and bottled at 100 proof. The Mashbill is 78% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 10% Rye. It is smooth with warm sweet notes of caramel and honey with a long finish.

The American Praire story ~ "High West Distillery is passionate about the American West’s natural beauty. That’s why we want to raise awareness of one of the most fantastic projects of our time: the American Prairie Reserve in northeastern Montana. This is an amazing effort to assemble the largest wildlife reserve in the lower 48 states. When stepping onto the plains of American Prairie Reserve, it’s easy to imagine the landscape as Lewis and Clark and Native Americans saw it, with thundering herds of bison, racing bands of pronghorn antelope and prairie dog towns dotting the horizon. When complete, the Reserve will be approximately 5,000 square miles; larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Teton National Parks combined. Go to americanprairie.org to learn how to visit and support this worthy cause."

Producer notes ~ "Our distinctive Double Rye embodies a harmonious balance of bold rye spice with bright botanical notes that simultaneously showcase layers of freshness and complexity. A blend of column and pot-still whiskies, aged a minimum of two years. Curated to highlight the wonderful, bold spice character that comes from high rye whiskies as well as a refreshing botanical brightness. A unique and balanced flavor profile of cinnamon, gingersnaps, juniper, mint sprigs, and fresh wildflower honey. Blended to be boldly sipped, stirred, and savored." ABV: 46%, Proof: 92

Producer notes ~ "Matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, our iconic 12 Year Old single malt whisky is spicy and well-rounded, packed with the flavours of sun-kissed Seville oranges and rich fruitcake spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; you’ll find molten heather honey in this whisky’s waves of heathery peat smoke. Why not try it with a handful of wasabi peas on the side or alongside a sizzling, pan-fried rib-eye steak or with smoked salmon and sour cream."

Producer notes ~ "This is a wonderfully rich and complex single malt. Opening with rich and spicy aromas of crème brulee, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow - fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. There’s a hint of freshly-baked sponge cake too, warm from the oven, and you’ll find cinnamon again, but toasted shards this time. Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke.

Producer notes ~ "HINOTORI means « Phœnix » in Japanese! Coming back from its ashes is exactly what the Hekinan distillery, located in Aichi and founded in 1949, is doing by releasing a limited 5 years old batch made from malt and grain in a pot still. Ageing takes place in used whisky barrels for 5 years to allow gentle and smooth aromas to develop. Not chill-filtered.

This digestive beverage was created during the period of the Habsburg dynasty in the latter part of the 19th century in the region of central Europe near the famous health spa town of Luhačovice, Czech Republic. Like many beverages oif this type, the exact recipe is a closely held secret. 38% ABV, Kosher

From the fine folks at Willett Distillery, Small Batch - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 50.5% ABV (101 proof). Tasting notes ~ "The nose is sour apple, vanilla, and oak. The palate is a snowball rolling over fruits, vanilla, and spices, mixing them all together into a well balanced and complex Whiskey." Tasting notes courtesy of Bill Thomas, Jack Rose Dining Saloon.

Producer notes ~ "Kamiki, meaning God’s Breath in Japanese, was born at the Omiwa Shrine at the foot of Mount Niwa in Japan. Here, alcohol created by the local spirit producers is served as a blessing. Kamiki was created to further this tradition by taking a range of some of the finest whiskies from Japan and blending them with the best whiskies from overseas before maturing in a range of peculiar wood types. The results are smooth, intricate and intriguing expressions that differ from the norm and deliver a truly unique tasting experience. This new expression was finished in Japanese Cedar wood, just like the two before it, before being transferred to casks made from the famous Sakura tree for further finishing.  The Sakura tree is hugely famous in Japan. It symbolises the beginning of Spring and is intrinsically connected to “mono no aware”, a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence, or in other words – mortality."

Producer notes ~ "This exquisite Kavalan whisky has won several prestigious awards, including a gold at the World Whiskies Awards. The expression also received a Gold in its category at the International Spirits Challenge. Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak dilutes Solist ex-Bourbon with Kavalan spring water to 46% strength. It is incredibly smooth with a soft sweetness, losing the harshness and the alcohol edge and lingering over those unique flavors. It is clean and fresh tropical fruitiness with pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices."

Liquid Alchemist Strawberry syrup is a premium & natural strawberry based cocktail syrup. It makes the BEST Strawberry Daiquiri, Miami Vice, strawberry lemonade, and more!

Producer notes ~ "Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark ® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that's easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time."

Producer notes ~ "Martin Miller’s Westbourne Gin. A gin for those in the know, its name derives from the location of Martin Miller’s own residence in Westbourne Grove in London, where the brand was conceived. Created in response to requests by ‘mixologists’ for a Martin Miller’s Gin that would give a more ‘old school’ authenticity to their classic repertoire of cocktails and help them create more fully-flavoured inventions. It became a bartender’s favourite from the very beginning, enjoying an underground cult status and closely-guarded secret among the bar fraternity. Intense and citrus. An emphasis on the spicier, peppery notes of cassia and nutmeg. Harnessed to an exact higher craft strength for a smooth and attractive alcohol sensation."

Producer Notes, Community Pride Barrel ~ Meticulously distilled using just two simple ingredients - mountain spring water from the Austrian Alps and ancient non-GMO rye grains - NEFT vodka is made to retain the distinctive flavor profile of our superior ingredients, not strip them out.

Producer notes ~ "Eleventh generation sons, Carl Jr. and Bob Nolet, collaborated with their father Carolus Sr. to create NOLET’S Silver. NOLET’S Silver is an undeniably modern take on gin, reflecting the tastes and preferences of a new generation. Carl Jr. and Bob invite you to experience NOLET’S Silver Classic Cocktail Collection. The history of Nolet Distillery goes back more than 325 years; a rich history that still defines our success with each passing day. This success stems from cherishing traditions and from the fact that every Nolet generation has the courage to look ahead and beyond."

A happy recent discovery for us . . . Producer notes ~ "The history of Nordés, Galicia’s very own gin, began with a group of friends and a dish of octopus. Whilst enjoying this traditional Galician delicacy, a renowned sommelier and winner of the Nariz de Oro awards 2004, a Galician winemaker and a master distiller began to imagine a Galician gin which would be made using local ingredients and be truly different from other gins.

Producer notes ~  "Our signature bottling, Redbreast 12 boasts the flavour complexity and distinctive qualities of Pot Still whiskey. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, the distinctive Redbreast sherry style is a joy to behold in each and every bottle." To which we would add, if you haven't started yet to explore the complexities of Irish Whisky,  this is a great place to start.

Producer notes ~ "We finished our straight rye whiskey in Extra Añejo Tequila barrels. The result is remarkably unique tequila finished whiskey with notes of agave and vanilla on the nose and honey, peppercorn and orange citrus to taste. Pairing tequila and whiskey is always a risky move, but this was a risk worth the reward."

Producer notes ~ "Organic toasted cacao nibs bring this blend to life and, with just a hint of spice and oak, imparts the essence of chocolate into any drink. Truly a necessity in any well stocked bar."

Producer notes ~ "Scrappy's Orleans Bitters is the newest product release to this line of classic bitters flavors. Orleans  is a New Orleans style bitters, with a fresh bouquet and strong anise taste complimented by notes of citrus, cinnamon, and a bitter floral finish, this bitters is perfect for your Sazerac, Vieux Carres, and everything in between."

Producer notes ~ "At first blush, scents of cooked and raw agave accompanied by light herbal and citrus notes infused with the fresh essence of ripe fruit, similar to the fragrances present in silver tequila. Followed by gentle vanilla, very light touches of nuts, dried fruit, raisins and prunes, sweet flowery fragrances and woody notes from the barrels, light tinges of ripe pear and banana that sustain a harmonious balance between the two levels of flavor in the glass." Siete Leguas has been producing fine Tequila since 1952 . . .

Producer Notes ~ "Matured twice in American oak, Laphroaig Quarter Cask presents an irresistible doubling of flavor. Because the second maturation takes place in smaller, quarter-sized casks, the spirit has more contact with wood. This lends hints of coconut, banana and vanilla to the instantly recognizable Laphroaig flavor of smoky peat complemented by a surprising sweetness.
