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 ~ "The Sazerac 6 Year Rye Whiskey is distilled at the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. It’s known as baby Saz because of its famed older brother and member of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Sazerac 18. It has a mashbill of 51% rye, 39% corn and 10% malted barley. Nose is citrusy and full of allspice. Even though it is young, palate has an old feeling with a great thickness. Spices and citrus is still on. Finish is short, dry and sweet."

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 ~ "Brimming with toffee, vanilla and notes of spice. Inspired by the Gaelic word meaning 'intrepid and daring', Arranta Casks Single Malt has been crafted using specially selected, first fill ex-bourbon casks of American Oak, to give this spicy Scotch whisky a uniquely bold and characterful flavour profile. Our Distillery Manager hand-selects each one, marking it with his distinctive 'A-star' seal of approval."

Woman-owned and committed to 100% organic ingredients. Producer notes ~ "Very few vodkas are made as meticulously as ours: created in one place, with exacting standards. Our distinctive, limited-production single grain vodka is created using certified organic American rye.  Our water, drawn from deep aquifers underneath the distillery, imparts unparalleled smoothness, reflecting its origin in the pristine Teton Range of Wyoming. Our unique organic fermentation technique combines with a classic four-column distillation and filtration method to create Square One: incredibly silky, ultra-premium vodka with the rich and subtle nutty taste and texture of American rye. Square One Organic Rye Vodka is a premium spirit, with a rich, nutty taste and full silky texture. Slightly oily on the tongue, medium body. Crisp, mild bite to it on the edges of your tongue. Dry, grain-like aftertaste, with an attractively oily body/mouthfeel. Eminently drinkable."

This is our own whisky selection from the Starward Single Barrel Release Program. Our French oak barrel was previously used to age Barossa Valley Shiraz.

Producer notes ~ "Toki is a blend of Yamazaki's three distilleries, Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Toki means "time" in Japanese. It's a concept rich in meaning the world over, but particularly in Japan where respect for tradition and reinvention sparks a powerful creative energy. Inspired by that interplay, Suntory Whisky Toki brings together old and new - the House of Suntory's proud heritage and its innovative spirit - to create blended Japanese whisky that is both groundbreaking and timeless. Silky with a subtle, sweet and spicy finish.

Producer notes ~ "Produced at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been made by the sea since 1830, with its smell and taste instantly connecting you to its rugged maritime home. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of the most remote, windswept yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland. Talisker 10 Year Old, the stalwart of the Talisker family, is a powerful single malt whisky, with a sea-salty nose, spicy complexity, smoky sweet character and signature peppery finish: like a warm welcome from a wild sea.

Appearence ~ Pale straw yellow color; luminous, with golden and slightly greenish tones. Medium bodied due to its lower alcoholic content.

For those days when your favorite "mixologist" is AWOL . . . Tequila, fresh squeezed grapefruit & lime, with soda water, agave and a touch of salt.

Producer notes ~ "Made in California’s San Joaquin Valley from a blend of dry white wine that includes Orange Muscat, Vya Extra Dry is carefully hand infused at Quady Winery with a selection of over fifteen dried herbs. In Vya Extra Dry the flowers and leaves of the plants are used for the infusion, whereas in the Vya Sweet, the roots and seeds of different plants are used. The flowers and leaves of different plants make Vya Extra Dry powerfully herbaceous, crisp, and refreshing. A few of the herbs used include lavender, linden, sage, orris, alfalfa, and angelica. Fresh and aromatic, Vya Extra Dry wakes up the taste buds, and makes a wet martini or an aperitif on the rocks that livens up the end of the day."

Producer notes ~ "Vya Sweet is a blend including Tinta Roriz, Orange Muscat and dry white wine. It is hand infused at Quady Winery with a selection of over seventeen herbs and spices. The botanicals in Vya Sweet come from those parts of plants where energy is concentrated: seeds, bark, and roots. These components tend to have bitter elements which in the taste of Vya Sweet are balanced with sweetness. The balance of bitter and sweet, and the warm energy from the botanicals pair fantastically with whiskey, especially with rye."

Producer notes ~ "The smooth and warming flavours present in Northland come from the unhurried way in which the spirit is made, and from the maturation, which takes place in American oak quarter casks. Matured and bottled on site, Northland represents the first chapter in the history of Wolfburn. Non chill-filtered @ 46% ABV. Wolfburn is the most northerly whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland, and our master craftsmen fashion their whisky the same way it has always been made: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste."

Producer notes ~ "Our latest addition to the Woody Creek family of spirits has been years in the making. Our much-anticipated Colorado Bourbon, aged a minimum of four years in deeply charred new American oak, has just enough spice to get your attention, with hints of cinnamon, caramel, and honey in the background. Settle in to its complex personality and satisfyingly long finish, and you’ll agree that it was certainly worth the wait.

The Home Base Bitter, Winter Batch 1 liqueur has a Pinot Grigio brandy base and is infused with winter-harvested citrus, fruits and botanicals. It is sweetened in part with oleo saccharum and gentian root is the main bittering agent.

At St. Agrestis, we celebrate the traditions of Italian aperitivi and digestivi. With old world methods, St. Agrestis is made with real herbs, spices and citrus for real aperitivo and digestivo drinkers. An irresistible amaro made in Brooklyn from an infusion of organic herbs, roots, botanicals and citrus that is blended and aged in local whiskey barrels. The spirit is lightly sweetened with organic sugar cane.

This vino amaro aperitif drinks like a combination of amaro and an oloroso sherry. Cardamaro is a base Moscato wine with an infusion of herbs, mainly of cardoon and Roman thistle. Flavors of ginger, artichoke, and a touch of sweetness on the palate make this a fine way to start your evening.

Since 1865, this spicy, earthy aperitif has been known as “ouvre l’appétit” - the key to the appetite. Serious in its role as an aperitif, and then popular with sportsmen, Bonal became an early sponsor of the Tour de France.

First off, what is Chinato? I was hesitant to put it on this list, but it’s a sort of gray area between vermouth & amaro. Chinato is an aromatized wine almost exclusively from Piedmont, Italy.

Allspice is a critical element of tropical drinks and cuisine. The berry, called “pimento” in Jamaica, gets its modern name from its flavors of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is a traditional preparation made with smoky Jamaican pot-still rum. Famous with bourbon in the Lion’s Tail. Use Allspice Dram in rum punches, as the base note of numerous tropical drinks, in mulled wine or the seasoning for sangria. Great with grapefruit or pineapple juice drinks and in coffee.

Heirloom Pineapple Amaro is a full bodied amaro composed with tropical ingredients like Queen Victoria pineapple, native to the Caribbean and Jamaican Quassia Bark.

Amaro Nonino Quintessentia is produced in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy. This grappa-based amaro is infused with an array of roots and spices, including licorice, rhubarb, and tamarind, then aged for five years in oak barrels. At 35% ABV, Amaro Nonino is a bit less sweet, yet just as easy-drinking, as other amari.

Infusion of selected botanicals ennobled with ÙE Monovitigno Fragolino from the Nonino Vineyard in Buttrio. Taste: Citrous freshness with floral, fruity and balsamic notes. Slightly bitter. Fresh and lively aperitif. Ideal in purity on the rocks, with ice and a twist of lime, or as a light drink, with 4 cl. of L’Aperitivo Nonino, 4 cl. of sparkling wine, ice and lemon peel. Excellent also as a cocktail ingredient.

In line with the traditional Italian style, the spirit centers around major flavor components: bitterness from gentian root and sweetness from cane sugar. Citrus is the third major component, so they add distilled coriander and grapefruit peels to give it a bright, citrus aroma. They then mix these components with a variety of fragrant flowering botanicals, including hyssop and Artemsia pontica. The color comes from cochineal (insects), which adds the vibrant red color that one expects from a traditional Aperitivo as it has been used in spirits for hundreds of years.

Near the base of active Mt. Etna, where the richness and diversity of soil type and high elevation has resulted in an abundance of vibrant micro climates—sweet mandarins, bitter Sicilian oranges, and almonds are harvested and made into separate infusions before combining with a base of Sicilian white wine.

The Aperitivo Cappelletti, endearingly known to locals as just “Specialino”, may be the oldest style of the classic red bitter still in production. Unlike its larger commercial rivals, Cappelletti is less sweet and has a wonderful drying finish.
