LIQUEUR

AVERELL DAMSON NEW YORK, FINGER LAKES The Damson Plum made its way to North America with early settlers. The Damson is the tartest and spiciest of all plums. Historically famous in jams, brandy and gin, these small, crimson plums have become rare. Averell Damson Plum Gin Liqueur 66PF / 750ML During New York’s Fall Damson harvest, Damson plums are barrel pressed to extract the juice and rich color of the skins, and then united with a small-batch American gin. The resulting spirit offers sweet aromas of berry, plum and spice leading to a tart, full flavored palate. Rich, notes of fresh fruit linger on the finish. All natural. “Does wonders for iced black tea, and can be used in sparkling wine to give a new twist to kir royale.” The New York Times 66PF ARVERO ITALY, CAMPANIA In the Neapolitan Language, Árvero means tree. Árvero Limoncello is a tribute to the uniqueness of these magnificent lemon trees that gives this liqueur its distinct character. Árvero Limoncello Liqueur 64PF / 750ML Il Limoncello “Árvero” is prepared traditionally using the natural zest of selected Peninsula lemons. To retain the great aromas and color of the lemons, they are all hand-picked and processed locally, early in the morning to preserve the right humidity, without being frozen or stored. The result is a Limoncello with rich aromas, a naturally vivid yellow color and a vibrant flavor. 64PF This herbal bitter is produced by Dutch genever distiller Boomsma. Cloosterbitter is based on a 15th century recipe, made with a blend of 17 herbs and plants found in the Frisian meadows during the month of May. Delicious chilled on the rocks, in a mixed drink or in cocktails. “Tangy and sweet in the mouth, the ethereral softness complements the gentle herbal flavor that elaborates each sip before finishing with a touch of bitterness.” 91pts Excellent Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016 DOLIN FRANCE, SAVOIE Using its own alembic still, Dolin has made this legendary alpine liqueur Génépy from local farmers’ herbs since 1821. Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur 90PF / 750ML The elusive Génépy (Génépi), is an iconic alpine botanical associated with the kingdom of Savoy (once made up of France, Switzerland, and Italy.) Génépy has been used for centuries to flavor liqueurs, digestifs and tonics. The flavor profile falls somewhere in between modern absinthe and chartreuse. While exhibiting significant sweetness, its strong herbal quality keeps it nicely balance. BOOMSMA HOLLAND, FRIESLAND Boomsma Cloosterbitter Liqueur 80PF / 750ML
