GLECARRE FRANCE LECARRÉ spirits are produced by a family-run distiller based in France that is now the 7th generation. Thanks to its expertise dating back to 1830 in distillation as well as aging, LECARRÉ is committed to producing the finest spirits. Lecarre Orange and Brandy Liqueur 80PF / 700ML The first step to developing our handcrafted liqueur is the maceration of dried bitter orange peel infusion and distillate in Brandy eau-de-vie. Our Cellar Master then blends this bitter orange liqueur with the finest Brandy, natural blood orange flavors and sugar.

GREAT WOMEN SPIRITS USA, WISCONSIN The Family Coppola are lovers not only of wine but spirits as well. In fact, when the family gathers, the custom is to have a cocktail, or two, before dinner. They hope to bring even more joy to cocktail enthusiasts everywhere by crafting a collection of spirits as unique and remarkable as the women they honor. All our spirits are crafted in a style that reflects the individual character of these trailblazers and are proofed with pristine water from our Napa Valley Estate. Great Women Spirits Hypatia Rubi Amaro 48PF / 750ML Including nearly 20 different botanicals ranging from savory to sweet, Hypatia is proofed with Napa Valley spring water from the Coppola family’s estate and mixed with organic cane sugar and cochineal extract for authentic carmine coloring. On entry, notes of bitter blood orange peel, while a lemon verbena floral lift coats the mouth. Followed by maraschino cherry, orange, black tea spice, savory mushroom and toasted walnut weight filling out the mouth. The palate has a “grown-up” bittersweet taste, achieved by the addition of sugar to balance the bitterness of the botanicals. JOHN D TAYLORS BARBADOS John D Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is considered by many as the original Falernum, and is today produced by famed rum distiller R.L. Seale Ltd. Taylors Velvet Falernum 22PF / 750ML Falernum is indigenous to Barbados, where Velvet Falernum is a longtime staple item of its many resorts and bars. The sweetness, spice and almond character of this rum-based liqueur provides weight and texture to classic rum and wine punches. Today, Falernum is a staple for tropical drinks such as swizzles, Zombies, and other Tiki drinks.

KRONAN SWEDEN Kronan Swedish Punsch Liqueur 52PF / 700ML

Swedish Punsch is a liqueur of two histories—a national drink in Sweden, and a component of more than fifty classic cocktails. Made with rums from the West Indies (Demerara and Jamaica) and East Indies (Batavia Arrack) and numerous spice and bitter flavors, KRONAN has exceptional depth and complexity, particularly with a bit of citrus added. KLEOS GREECE Kleos is a female-lead brand owned by Effie Panagopoulos. The spirit Kleos is made from mastiha, a resin that is secreted by the mastiha (or skinos) tree, which can only be found in one place in the world: Greece’s fifth-largest island, Chios. Kleos Mastiha Spirit 60PF / 700ML KLEOS is made by hand in small batches, via a distillation of the rare “tears of Mastiha” and the addition of Mastiha essential oils.
