SALERS FRANCE Established in 1885, the Salers distillery is the oldest of all the producers of this unique aperitif. It is based in the town of Salers, close by the Puy Marie, the highest mountain in the area and the source of the finest gentian root. Salers Gentiane Liqueur 32PF / 750ML One of the most classic French aperitifs is a pour of gentiane liqueur on the rocks with a squeeze of lemon. Salers is the oldest gentian liqueur of the Massif Central, birthplace to this style of product. It distinguishes itself with a pure, firm, rustic earthy profile. Unlike its larger rivals, Salers is less sweet and does not add artificial yellow color, revealing a beautiful natural straw color. Enjoy with ice and lemon, lemonade, in the Blond Negroni with gin and Dolin blanc, or as an earthy base note in a variety of cocktails. SPIRIT OF HVEN SWEDEN Spirit of Hven is situated on an island that is home to some of Sweden’s absolute best producers of agricultural products, which explains why we at Spirit of Hven emphasize use of local raw materials. Spirit of Hven Organic Swedish Aquavit 80PF / 750ML Organic Aquavit is one of a kind. Truly handcrafted with certified organic ingredients. The fresh spirit is oak matured both prior and after distillation giving extra depth to the soft fudge, vanilla character. The scent of new grind coffee reveals gently behind the fresh herbs, something remarkable indeed. Silver Medal San Francisco World Spirits Competition Bronze Medal The American Distilling Institute Spirit of Hven Summer Spirit 80PF / 750ML A unique distillate made with Bitter Orange, Rhubarb, Elderflower and Apples together with locally harvested botanicals, distilled in the small signature copper pot stills of Hven that creates sweetness that balances the recipe perfectly with the slow oak maturation in American oak. The final product is bottled and hand-waxed on site without any carbon- or chill filtering, no color corrections, or additives. SUZE FRANCE Since 1889, Suze has been produced following the exact same recipe, maceration, distillation and blending. The powerful bitterness of Suze comes from the yellow gentian roots that grow for over 20 years in the mountains of France before being torn out by hand. A bright yellow color and an inimitable bittersweet

ZIRBENZ AUSTRIA Handcrafted and bottled in Austria by Josef Hofer, a family distillery since 1797. Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur of the Alps 70PF / 375ML Zirbenz is born from an alpine journey of mountaineers and farmers that must ascend to high elevations then climb the trees to pick this wild pine fruit fresh. The fruitiness of Zirbenz makes it useful for adding aromatic richness to drinks that still need a dry sensation. Stir a little bit into a Martini for a brilliant light pink hue and a round finish. Combine with Scotch or aged rum for robust, complex toddies. Zirbenz also works as the base for a long drink, particularly with ginger ale or tonic water.
