BAILONI AUSTRIA Bailoni is heralded as the first apricot distillery in Wachau, Austria. The family-owned company has a rich tradition in distilling since 1872, within its original 350 year old building. The Wachau Valley has approximately 100,000 apricot trees with Bailoni owning 1,500 of their own, and support smaller regional farms in sourcing additional apricot needs. The silty soil in which the trees grow, called loess, imparts the ultra-sweet and juicy character of the fruit and the intense deep apricot flavor. In the spring the trees open their blossoms; an experience that contends with cherry blossom time in Washington D.C. or Japan. The apricot fruit that matures in late summer, mid-July to August, is packed with pectin, acid, and sugar. The perfect

SAZERAC DE FORGE FRANCE, COGNAC Experience cognac as it was 200 years ago. Our Sazerac de Forge & Fils is named in honor of our roots. Bernard Sazerac de Forge founded a cognac house in France in 1782. The Sazerac Company recently returned to Cognac and acquired Domaine Sazerac de Segonzac to produce our own “Finest Original” cognac. Like Bernard Sazerac de Forge, whose brandies were enjoyed from the 17th to 19th centuries, we are bringing fine cognac to the 21st century. Sazerac de Forge The “Finest Original” Cognac 94PF / 750ML / LIMITED The Sazerac de Forge & Fils “Finest Original” Cognac blend includes cognacs made from several old and rare native grape varieties. This gives us the unique opportunity to enjoy cognac as it was 150 years ago, prior to the Phylloxera epidemic that forever changed the cognac-making process. Blended with cognacs that have aged between seven and fifty years, our cognac is complex, full of character and inevitably produced in very small quantities. It will be a challenge to find around the world, but well worth the search.
