Golden Moon Distillery

Golden, Colorado (Golden Moon Distillery)

Golden Moon Distillery – Maison De La Vie, Ltd. was founded by Stephen Gould and Karen Knight in early 2008 specifically to produce premium hand-crafted herbal liquors and liqueurs. They use the best available herbs, spices and botanicals, made with the same type of artisan production processes utilized by distillers making premium products in the mid-to-late 1800s. Golden Moon, Amer dit Picon Amer dit Picon is produced using the finest hand-selected herbs, spices and botanicals available. They have recreated the original processes and acquired the original type of ingredients used by legendary distiller Gaetan Picon to create his amer (bitters) in the 1830’s. Bottled at 78 Proof, it is the perfect ingredient for the legendary Picon Punch, the Brittany cocktail, and a host of other classic cocktails. Golden Moon, Ex Gratia (Génépi) Based on a description of a spirit listed in an executioner’s notebook from the 1580’s, Ex Gratia is a style of liqueur known as Génépi. Génépi is made from herbs including

wormwoods that grow in the alpine regions of Europe. What makes Ex Gratia different from other Génépi is that it contains several exotic herbs and spices including “Black Spice”, an Asian herb that was highly prized during the middle-ages in Europe and the Middle East. This type of spirit was used by apothecaries for a variety of purposes and was typically given by executioners to the condemned as a last act of kindness... to all but those guilty of the most heinous of crimes.
