Empress Gin:
– all organic
– big bold juniper and heady citrus make up the majority of its aroma
– deep indigo hue changes to bright lavender, soft pink or fuchsia depending on the mixer
Smoke Wagon Vodka:
– produced from 100% corn (It’s gluten free!)
– made in America; same distillery offers whiskey
– creamy + smooth on the palate, touch of corn and a gentle sweetness, little to no burn
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey:
– named after the formerly enslaved man, Nathan “Nearest” Green, who taught a young Jack Daniel the craft of distilling
– soft enough to sip neat and the flavor is robust enough to carry through an old fashioned or any other whiskey cocktail
– blend of premium aged whiskies between 8 and 14 years old
