Anise Spirits
Pontalier Anis a l'ancienne
Country: France
Alcohol: 45%
The only aperitif that is exclusively distilled from green aniseed. Invented in 1921 by Armand Guy, who thereby circumvented the sudden ban on absinthe. Enjoy these pastis as an aperitif or simply to enjoy the afternoon. This drink conveys the French way of life.
This aperitif will surprise you with its extraordinary lightness. This highest refinement through the distillation of green anise in the centuries-old stills gives the famous Pontarlier anise a fine taste that cannot be found in any other aniseed aperitif.

Varnelli L'Anice Secco Speciale
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 46%
First awarded in 1950 as “the best Italian dry anise”, Varnelli is a unique flavor among the Mediterranean aniseed drinks: dry, not sweet, it hooks you at the first taste.
To the Eye: Clear brilliant, transparent, with bluish highlights.
To the Nose: The strong, persistent aromas of aniseed develops into a fragrance of wild fennel, dill and cumin, enriched with floral scents.
On the Palate: All-enveloping, full-bodied, medium dry, it recalls the same strong, persistent aroma found in the bouquet: aniseed, cucumber and wild fennel. The finish is harmonious, which is a sign of excellent quality, and very pleasant.
Lemercier Freres 1811 Pastis
Country: France
Alcohol: 45%
This very dark, comparatively sweet pastis with a strong licorice flavor comes from Fougerolles in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It is made in the traditional way through maceration and distillation of carefully selected seeds and plants – including wormwood, mugwort, gentian, liquorice and star anise – and is aged for at least nine months. The Pastis 1811 impresses with its freshness and smoothness. It smells harmonious and shows sweet liquorice notes in the nose. On the palate it develops elegantly and subtly in three phases: from the aniseed note to herbal and floral notes to the liquorice note. Incidentally, its designation 1811 refers to the founding year of the distillery, this pastis has been produced since 1923.
Aquavit
Touché Akvavit
Country: Denmark
Alcohol: 42.1%
The Russian, Ivan Bazin, was a sea traveler all his life, a gentleman and although he may not have been of the upper class, he radiated “class” and therefore became a member of the Copenhagen fencing club. Furthermore, he became one of the driving forces in the club.
He was the person, who came up with the idea of making an aquavit with agave syrup from Mexico and with fresh dill from the Nordic countries. The Akvavit quickly gained status as a classic and it was then named “Touché”.
Over time, the Copenhagen Fencing Club went from being a haunt of the upper class to being the place of gentlemen, with a common respect and passion for life. It was the place where you came after a long and hard day and where you just had to “stress” off over a delicious and refreshing dram. And of course in good company. A club based on fencing, drinking and Russian sauna.
No one knows why, but the club closed suddenly in 1920 and Bazin’s recipe for Touché Aquavit was found in the attic when he died 7 years later.
D Aurum Dill Aquavit
Country: Denmark
Alcohol: 40%
D Aurum Dill Aquavit is the extenesion of the D Argentum Aquavit, which is refined with oak wood.
This creates new tatse nuances that do not overlay they base, the dill aquavit.
The wood and the dill aroma complement each other perfectly to create a pleasant and special taste experience.
This is how silver (argentum) becomes gold (aurum).
Helbings Feiner Aquavit
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 42%
Straw yellow with golden reflection this Aquavit was produced by Hein Helbing in Hamburg in 19th century.
It has aromatic notes of anise, caraway, dill, finely integrated liquorice with subtle notes of fresh spring flowers, wild berries and a hint of vanilla, which reuslts from maturation in PX Sherry barrels.
Asbinthe
Libertine Fleur d'Absinthe
Country: France
Alcohol: 60%
Thujone: 25mg
The Absinthe Libertine Fleur d’Absinthe is a very special absinthe from France from the Devoille distillery. Especially because a sprig of wormwood in the bottle gives off its effect and changes the taste and effect. The ingredients for this Absinthe Fleur d`Absinthe are purely natural. The color of this absinthe turns brownish and is therefore not 100% traditional, but thank God it is natural. Recently, an innovation in French law allowed more fennel to be used in absinthe. That is why the Devoille distillery used more fennel in this absinthe Fleur d’Absinthe than in any other absinthe from this distillery. Despite the sprig of wormwood in the bottle, this absinthe is not bitter, but develops a fresh and well-rounded drinking experience when enjoyed. Like almost every absinthe from Devoille, the individual distillates are mixed together and then we should have the best result. The absinthe Fleur d’Absinthe is said to be the first absinthe with a sprig of wormwood in the bottle from France.
Cthulhu Verte
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 68.3%
Finally, after 3 months of development, countless attempts at concentrated recipe development, we have succeeded in creating an absinthe that is worthy of paying homage to Cthulhu, one of the great elders from HP Lovecraft’s fantasy epic.
Cthulhu is a handcrafted premium absinthe consisting of two phases, each specially distilled and then blended into one great whole.
On the one hand, Cthulhu Absinthe contains traditional absinthe ingredients, such as two different types of wormwood, fennel and anise. In addition, unusual, oriental herbs such as cardamom and coriander complement its exceptionally sweet and tart taste profile.
The sensory appearance was rounded off by a second maceration with blackberries and wormwood, which produces the intense blue-green color.
Absinth 35 Delirium
Country: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 70%
Thujone: 35mg
The name says it all: This naturally colored absinthe contains the maximum amount of 35 mg thujone, which can also be recognized by its bitter note.
Absinthe 35 is a purely natural product with no artificial ingredients and no anise. Its well-balanced herbal formula, the very nice bottle and the low price characterize this absinthe.
Absinth Beetle
Country: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 70%
Thujone: 35mg
Absinthe Beetle from the Czech distillery L`OR Special Drinks is a very special absinthe. In addition to the delicious absinthe in the bottle, it also contains a type of giant locust that is actually native to New Guinea. This animal called “tree lobster” (lat. Eurycantha horrida) cannot fly and stays on the ground or in trees. Here at L’OR Special Drinks it has found its way into the Beetle Absinthe bottle.
Hardcore absinthe drinkers eat this beetle while drinking absinthe. The Beetle Absinthe itself is a herbal, low-anise absinthe with a great finish that makes the palate to rejoice. A fine bitterness of wormwood can be tasted towards the end. For die-hard absinthe drinkers, who don’t mind an animal in the bottle. Also very suitable as a decorative object. After vodka with scorpions, mezcal with worms, here’s absinthe’s answer. In addition to the beetle in the bottle, the Beetle Absinthe also contains 35 mg/kg thujone. Its effect can be seen just above the King of Spirits Absinthe. This absinthe is distilled purely by hand in very small batches without the addition of any artificial additives. It’s naturally colored.
Absinth Ordinaire 70
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 70%
Thujone: 32mg
A high-thujone German absinthe from the distillery Ulex, founded in 1795 in Neuhaus an der Oste.
The name comes from Doctor Pierre Ordinaire, a doctor who settled in Couvet in 1792 as a refugee from the French Revolution. Some sources credit him with the invention of Swiss absinthe, and the Henriod sisters are said to have received their legendary absinthe recipe from him.
The ‘Ordinaire’ is macerated and not pre-sugared, in terms of taste it is one of the bitterest German absinthes, it is made by hand from natural products.
La Coquette
Country: France
Alcohol: 72%
The Désirée is one of a series of traditional absinthes developed by Vert d’Absinthe, an absinthe shop in Paris that has unfortunately since closed. The absinthes are characterized by their traditional production and recipe, they can be recognized by the labels with depictions of women from the Belle Epoque.
The recipe for this absinthe distilled with wine alcohol dates back to 1899.
As is typical for Devoille, the taste is rather tart with herbs, but the green aniseed gives this absinthe an extraordinarily full and rounded character.
Wolfmilch HR Giger
Country: Switzerland
Alcohol: 69%
Thujone: 35mg
HR Giger Absinthe is distilled by Philippe Martin at La VaIote Martin distillery for Swiss Craft Distillers, using 100% natural ingredients and herbs from the Val-de-Travers. Herbs include: large and small wormwood, anise, fennel, peppermint, hyssop, licorice, lemon balm and other secret herbs.

A modern absinthe for today’s bar, made using traditional methods and natural ingredients. HR Giger WolfsmiIch was named and designed by Giger, inspired by a book entitled “HR GIGER and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century” written by Stanislav Grof.
Green Notes of sweet herbs, followed by subtle nuances of lemon balm and a powerful and persistent wormwood bouquet. A full-bodied distillate with a solid taste, the bitterness of the wormwood is complemented by a luscious sweetness from the plants. Enjoy HR Giger Wolfsmilch with ice cold water. Powerful and long lasting.
Roquette 1797
Country: France
Alcohol: 75%
Roquette 1797 Absinthe is a complex, unusual and tart absinthe directly based on an 18th century manuscript recipe. It represents the first serious attempt in the modern era to recreate an absinthe from the very birth of La Fee Verte. As the drink that is seen between schnapps and drink, just like a magical and mystical elixir or as a modern aperitif.
Roquette 1797 Absinthe contains the classic ingredients of anise, fennel and large wormwood along with several other herbs, some not found in any other commercial absinthe. The absinthe is distilled in Pontarlier in an antique alembic in small batches and is only available in very limited quantities.
The oldest distillations in the latest Roquette bottling are almost 18 months old, with the youngest around six months old, and this level of maturity will maintain a viable production.
Absinthe Roquette 1797 should be prepared with ice cold water added to the absinthe as slowly as possible, ideally drop by drop. Careful preparation like this allows its subtly translucent louche and powerful, room-filling scent to develop to its best effect.
The coloring of Roquette 1797 Absinthe is achieved in the most traditional way possible using only two classic coloring herbs. Like all natural chlorophyll stains out there, the shade will gradually fade over a period of time. The bottle should be stored vertically and kept in a cool, dark environment like a fine wine. Under no circumstances should it be exposed to sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations for any length of time. Each Roquette 1797 bottle is closed with a high-quality reusable wooden cork (T-cork) and finally sealed by hand with red sealing wax.
The number “1797” indicates the date of the manuscript recipe used, and “Roquette” pays tribute to the name of the faithful horse, whereupon Dr. Ordinaire-the legendary father of absinthe rode around the Val de Travers, tribute.
Herr der Frösche Absinth
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 68.3%
In the well deep on his throne,
Can be seen through the water,
The one frog that everyone is already
calling The Lord of the Frogs!
This absinthe was distilled according to an original recipe from 1870 from the Val de Travers, the place of origin of absinthe. It was elaborately macerated by hand and then distilled. Then, in a second maceration process with a large number of different herbs, the very dense color and flavor intensity was created. It has a very complex aroma density, which is characterized by aniseed, fennel and wormwood notes. Its long finish reveals fruity notes of raisins and dark chocolate.

La Fee Jaune
Country: France
Alcohol: 45%
Distillerie Guy is known for its outstanding quality. Now the master from Pontarlier ventures into a new discipline. The barrel aging in a Vin Jaune barrel.
The result is a fresh and cheeky absinthe like we’ve never seen before. Definitely worth a recommendation.
La Luna Absinthe
Country: Denmark
Alcohol: 61%
Thujone: 35mg
With La Luna, Plateau Spirits have made their very own version of an absinthe, in which the wormwood and anise get help from other fresh flavours like papaya, coconut, coffee beans, angelica root – all this is allowed to “pull” for a whole week on fresh lemon balm / heart delight .
This absinthe is a real delight for the palate and you immediately forget the high alcohol percentage of 61%, but beware, this s a far cry from your traditional or Czech style absinthe. This absinthe is almost half way to Aquavit, which creates an absolutely unique taste experience not seen on any absinthe before.
Serpis Dry 55
Country: Spain
Alcohol: 55%
Thujone: 30mg
The absinthe Serpis Dry 55 is fruity and entirely anise free. It is as charming as it is original. One thing is sure is that it is original, whether for its aromas or for its colour. That is probably why many amateurs appreciate it so much. Once mixed with water, its red colour turns into a beautiful apricot colour that goes perfectly well with its fruity aromas.
Bairnsfather
Country: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 55%
Thujone: 9mg/kg
This absinth is naturally green from chlorophyll from the herbs used in production. The fragile healing and aromatic compounds removed from the herbs during the maceration process, are not destroyed by violent distillation (which some self-proclaimed absinthe gurus claim is the only way to make absinthe). Instead of the destructive process of distillation, we use freeze filtration, which preserves the herbal compounds for your enjoyment.
Mansinthe
Country: Switzerland
Alcohol: 66.6%
Thujone: 20mg/kg
Marilyn Manson’s absinthe: distilled and naturally coloured, according to the rules. A great surprise. A certain complexity is hidden behind Mansinthe’s simplicity, and will surprise more than one. It suggests hyssop and green anise flavours on discrete grand wormwood notes, and offers an agreeable finish. An absinthe that will please fans as well as amateurs!
Absinthe Depot Berlin
(Hausmarke Bitter)
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 60%
About 15 years ago Absinth Depot Berlin developed this unusual absinthe as their house brand together with Ulex.
Unlike most absinthes, it contains almost no anise. The distinctly bitter taste of vermouth stands in contrast to a lemony-fresh sweetness that was achieved by adding Curaçao.
Absinthe is an ideal summer drink, it is best to drink it on ice with a dash of water.
Gothicsinthe
Country: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 89.9%
Thujone: 35mg/kg
In addition to the Karmagiddon, the Gothicsinthe with 89.9% alcohol and thujone in the maximum range is the strongest absinthe from the Cami distillery in Dobronice.
Like most products from this distillery, the Gothicsinthe is also handmade.
It contains a total of 6 different natural herbs, some of which were added after the distillation to achieve the greatest possible effect.
In order to soften the aniseed taste, which is often dominant in absinthe, the much milder green anise was used instead of star anise.
The absinthe is coloured black to match the name.
Zyankali Absinthe
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 66.6%
Own creation of Zyankali Bar owner, Tom. This disticntly light blue absinthe has bitter almond aroma and doesn’t contain any anise both visuallyh and smell-wise resembling ctanide (Zyankali translated into English means cyainide).
Mild absinthe with very good mixability. Thanks to the lack of anise and the mild tatse it is very suitable for beginners.
Brevans H.R. Giger
Country: Switzerland
Alcohol: 68%
Thujone: 35mg/kg
The recipe for this absinthe comes from the book “La fabrication des liqueurs” by J. de Brevans from 1897.
Like most of Oliver Matter’s products, it is very complex and herbaceous, but balanced and wonderfully mild. It goes without saying that it does not contain any artificial colouring or added sugar, the herbs used come largely from the area around the distillery and are produced according to ecological principles.
The picture on the label, Brain Salad Surgery II, comes from HR Giger, after whom absinthe is also named.
The original painting was stolen in 2005 and HR Giger offered a reward for finding it before his death.
Blanche de Fougerolles (SOLD OUT)
Country: France
Alcohol: 74%
A clear and bitter absinthe from Fougerolles.
The Blanche de Fougerolles is distilled in two stages from 11 different plants, including large and small wormwood, green aniseed, hyssop and veronica, in wine alcohol.

This absinthe is also available under the name Enigma Blanche especially for the English-speaking market.
Verte de Fougerolles
Country: France
Alcohol: 72%
The Verte de Fougerolles is made according to a recipe from this time, in our opinion it is currently one of the best French absinthe.

Of course, the Verte de Fougerolles is not sugared, it only contains natural ingredients.
This absinthe is also available under the name Enigma Verte, mainly for the English-speaking market.

Maker's Mark
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker’s® is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.
Maker's Mark 46
Country: USA
Alcohol: 47%
The first bourbon in our wood-finishing series, Maker’s Mark 46™ was created by Bill Samuels, Jr., to amplify the flavors he loves in Maker’s Mark®. The innovative wood-stave-finishing process starts with fully matured Maker’s Mark® at cask strength. We then insert 10 seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel and finish it for nine weeks in our limestone cellar. The result is Maker’s Mark 46: bolder and more complex, but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged whiskies. Want the full Maker’s Mark 46 story?
Maker's Mark Cask Strength
Country: USA
Alcohol: 55.75%
This is Maker’s Mark® Bourbon in its purest form. Bottled at barrel proof and nonchill filtered, Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels.
Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark® while amping up the notes of oak, caramel, vanilla and spice.
Angel's Envy
Country: USA
Alcohol: 43.3%
Unusual US bourbon that has been matured in Portuguese port wine barrels. The result is a kind of hybrid whisk (e) y, with typical American bourbon notes, but at the same time strong and sweet port wine post-maturation, which is otherwise only known from Scottish whiskeys. Above all, the very mild and sweet character are wonderfully suitable for whiskey beginners who appreciate a particularly soft and fruity drop.

Aviation
Country: USA
Alcohol: 42%
“I’ve tried every gin on the planet and Aviation is, hands down, the best.
Also, I don’t recommend trying every gin on the planet. Stick with this one.”
– Ryan Reynolds
The Aviation Gin is labeled as “American Dry Gin”, meaning that the flavor profile is less associated with juniper flavor. Seven botanicals are used in its production: juniper, lavender, sweet and bitter orange peel, cardamom, coriander, Indian sarsaparilla and anise. The gin is distilled twice. The gin was named after a classic cocktail called Aviation. In 2018, actor Ryan Reynolds acquired a stake in the brand.
This is one of the best balanced gins out there. Very tasty when sipping pure at room temperature, but does wonders in combination with Dr. Polidori tonic water or in combination with Aqua Monaco Extra Dry for real gin lovers.
Bathtub Gin
Country: UK
Alcohol: 43.3%
Bathtub Gin has a slight golden/umber tinge to it, something close to the color of cedar planks. The nose is heavy with juniper, cinnamon and cardamom; orange oil adds a touch if citrusy depth. Overall, the nose is quite heavy.
The palate builds quietly, with cinnamon, orange and juniper culminating all at once. As they fade, fresh cracked juniper berry gives way to notes of forest and clove. The finish is quite long with cinnamon and orange again dominating.
Very smooth spirit overall, but heavy on the spices and herbs. In cold compounded gins, you definitely get a side of common ingredients like cinnamon that you don’t always pick up when they are distilled. For example, the cinnamon in here rather than the high notes of freshly ground and the prickly sting of distant cinnamon-like spice, you almost get a more literal fresh-ground-cinnamon note in here.
We recommend Bathtub pure or paired with either Thomas Henry Dry or Aqua Monaco Extra Dry with slice of cucumber.
Del Professore Crocodile Gin
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 45%
The exciting Del Professore Gin Crocodile is a juniper spirit that aims to revive a bygone era. It does not embody the well-known London Dry Gin, but the Old Tom Gin, which was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. This means that while it also focuses on the juniper berries, it is less dry. The subtle sweetness predestines the Del Professore Gin Crocodile with the authentic character for mixing certain long drinks and cocktails such as Tom Collins. The promising gin from Italy easily stands up to the better-known bottlings from England. It was made with great attention to detail by the Antica Distilleria Quaglia. As an Italian gin, it is rare and particularly appeals to connoisseurs looking for variety.
In terms of aroma and taste, the Del Professore Gin Crocodile convinces with a natural, traditional pleasure. A gentle sweetness joins the self-confident personality and good structure. Round, rich and balanced, Old Tom Gin from the old distillery benefits from a combination of classic and exotic botanicals. Flavoring ingredients include juniper, coriander, citrus, elderflower and Jamaican pepper. The botanicals were allowed to macerate in a distillate obtained from grapes. All in all, the Del Professore Crocodile is robust, rustic and pleasing. Vanilla is joined by a herbal spiciness reminiscent of aniseed.
In 2018, this innovative spirit from the Mediterranean country won silver at “The Gin Masters (The Spirits Business)”.

Gunpowder Irish Gin
Country: Republic of Ireland
Alcohol: 43%
The secret of success and at the same time what is special about the juniper schnapps can be deciphered from the name: The English term “gun powder” is generally used to describe gunpowder, but what is meant in this case is the so-called Gunpowder Tea, a Chinese tea with an unusual shape to the flakes, which are the main ingredient in flavouring.
In terms of taste and aroma, the Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin steps out of line without being too exotic. In addition to classic ingredients such as juniper berries, coriander seeds and citrus fruit peel, the botanicals also include tea. Grapefruit, lime and lime give the juniper schnapps a sour, fruity freshness that contrasts nicely with the oriental flavour. The gin from the copper pot still has an alcohol content that is neither too high nor too low.
We recommend it pure or in combination with Aqua Monaco Extra Dry Tonic.

GiNSAN!TY White Truffle Gin
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 42.5%
In 2017, Dagmar and Michael Frangenberg made their gin madness their motto in life and profession: Ginsanity! Several years of training and experiments are paying off, the gins have long been known and loved outside of their home town of Cologne. These gins are full of passion and the best ingredients as well as a dash of madness. The latter is reflected in the always special and unusual new varieties!

Canaima
Country: Venezuela
Alcohol: 47%
A multitude of unknown plants and ingredients thrive under the evergreen canopy of the Venezuelan rainforest. It is not for nothing that the Penóm Indians living there call their region a “mystical land”. The manufacturers of Canaïma wanted to capture this mysterious mystique and reproduce it in the form of an extraordinary gin. They did an excellent job! As soon as the bottle is opened, the exotic, fruity and floral aromas seduce the nose, reminiscent of the lush green of the Amazon rainforest and its fascinating light moods.
Needle Gin
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 40%
A classic gin carries a bit of British, Dutch, Spanish and of course German history. But a Black Forest gin like the Needle not only combines the best of classic gins, but also convinces with a uniqueness that only a real Black Forest gin can give. The green apothecary’s bottle conceals a distillate whose classic base is formed by aromatic juniper berries. Flowery lavender in coordination with the typical spiciness of ginger characterize the taste. In addition, the Needle spoils with a citrus note from sun-ripened lemons and oranges of the best quality. Adding allspice and cinnamon also adds a touch of the Orient.
Needle is all Black Forest, because with a lot of lifeblood, passion and commitment a product was created that is created and loved in the beautiful Black Forest in Baden.
TASTE: The Needle Black Forest Dry Gin tastes like the Black Forest itself. The extraordinary spruce needle botanical paired with the freshness of juniper, lemon and ginger make the Needle a truly extraordinary gin that stands out from the crowd.
DRINK: The Needle actually speaks for itself, so we recommend a restrained tonic that does not block the infallible taste of the Needle, but supports it.
For G&T we recommend it paired with Aqua Monaco Extra Dry without garnish or with a small branch of Rosemary. Needle also goes well with Dry Thomas Henry Tonic.
Edinburgh Cannonball Gin
Country: Scotland

Herbal Liqueurs
Jefferson Amaro Importante (SOLD OUT)
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 30%
Jefferson Amaro Importante. The story goes that after surviving the shipwreck, he found refuge in the old bonded warehouse (Vecchio Magazzino Doganale).
It was he who selected and collected citrus fruits, aromatic spices and herbs from all over Calabria.
Today it is all reproduced again in an authentic way, paying close attention to detail.
Bergamot, sweet and sour oranges, rosemary and oregano are the basic and natural ingredients from Calabria.
Combined with other herbs and spices, they make up the unique Jefferson.
Its Mediterranean taste can be enjoyed both at room temperature and chilled. Ideal for mixing, for great classics, as a bitter or as an addition to vermouth.
He started selling his liquors just for fun. Jefferson was convinced he had the best bitters in the world, perhaps he was so right that it said “Bitter Important” on its label. Thanks to the successes he had achieved in the great salons of Italy and Europe. Gil and Roger never expected so many awards.
Tatratea 52 Original Tea Liqueur
Country: Slovakia
Alcohol: 52%
Another highlight of the Tatratea liqueur series from Slovakia is the orange flavor. An old Tatra recipe for mixing tea and alcohol was the basis for these liqueurs to emerge. But in the meantime they have been able to celebrate such success that new flavor nuances are constantly being offered, such as orange here. The basis is a fruit tea that is mixed with high-quality alcohol. This is based on grain brandy and is refined with citrus fruits and even a little licorice. The aroma reveals these ingredients and creates a wonderful interplay of the individual ingredients. A little woody smoke resonates in the taste and is briefly reminiscent of whiskey. Also the thought of rum could arise, although this is particularly popular in the cold season when poured into the tea. Since the orange variant Tatratea 52 is quite high-percentage, it is also well suited for mixing. Many cocktail creations have meanwhile come onto the market, but you can also experiment and see what can be produced from the variety of the Karloff house.
Select Bitter Aperitif
Country: Italy

Olympia Amaro
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 28%
Particular characteristics of Olympia are a pleasant fragrance exuded by cardamom and lively spice and citrus notes imparted by timut pepper.

Thanks to its intense and versatile character, you can enjoy it mixed in a cocktail or on the rocks, but it does its best with fizz.
The Bitter Olympia Bitter is inspired by a woman who made history for women in her own way: Olimpe de Gauge, who fought hard for the rights of the defenseless, especially women, during the French Revolution. All her life she fought for their right to vote and speak as much, as they had the right to go to the gallows. And then, ironically, she died by guillotine.

Gute Schwester is a maceration spirit – better known in the vernacular as top or top. Maceration is a process in which fruits, herbs or berries are soaked in alcohol for a certain period of time. During this time, the distillate dissolves the aromas and colors from the ingredients and thus takes on the flavor typical of the variety of the raw materials used.
For the Gute Schwester we use dried sloes, bloodroot and chilli peppers.
All ingredients are macerated by us individually over several weeks and then brought into harmony with our house distillate. The result is an interplay of fruity sweetness, a subtle bitter note and invigorating sharpness.
Jagermeister Scharf
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 33%
The Jägermeister Scharf is a sharp variation of the traditional herbal liqueur from Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony. It has a strong, yet very fine aroma that combines sweetness and spice as well as sharpness. The sharpness proves to be extremely complex and changeable, but in parts too intense for one or the other. On the positive side, the almost flashing notes of chilli are surprising. You can enjoy the herbal liqueur pure at room temperature or ice cold, but also in the form of drinks. The design, which sits nicely between tradition and modernity, is typical of Jägermeister.

Mondino

They ferment, along with the juice and fiber, in wooden barrels with wild yeast before the mash is distilled in a copper still.

Ming River Sichuan Baijiu
Country: China
Alcohol: 45%
Type: Baijiu
STORY: If you’ve just stumbled across the name and are wondering who or what the hell this Sichuan Baijiu is, then here’s the Tastillery fact check for you: Baijiu is a type of Chinese liquor made from grains, similar to corn or vodka . Baijiu is typically made from three ingredients: qu, water, and grain. In China, for example, water is also referred to as the blood, the Qu as the backbone and the grain as the flesh of the alcohol. Our Baiju presented here has its origins on the Yangtze River in the heart of Sichuan Province, in the picturesque port city of Luzhou. Here is China’s oldest continuously operating distillery, Luzhou Laojiao. The traditional production techniques have been passed on from master distiller to master distiller for more than 20 generations. Ming River is a traditional Sichuan Baijiu that impresses with its balance and complexity. This exotic spirit is not for everyone, we would say it’s an “acquired taste” – a taste you work towards. We personally are fans of this Asian friend and can absolutely recommend the Ming River for your next home bar equipment.
TASTE: We first taste ripe pineapple notes on the Ming River paired with the refreshing taste of aniseed, spices and light earthy notes. But the craziest thing: the Ming River has notes of spicy Parmesan How nice is that for mixing new cocktails? The Ming River is absolutely terrific for all of you who like to experiment and want to amaze your taste buds.

Thanks to an elaborate silver and platinum filtration, the already soft taste of the Green Mark vodka is additionally rounded off. The design of the bottle, with its patented cork closure, also combines classic Russian design elements with innovative ones. Each individual bottle also has an individual and therefore unique number. Another highlight is the special embossing in the glass, which is a classic design element of Russian vodka bottles from the Soviet Union.

Pisco MalPaso Reservado
Country: Chile
Alcohol: 40%
Type: Pisco
It is not only the Europeans who produce a wide variety of specialties from grapes, from wine and brandy to pomace brandy and grape-based spirits such as gin or vodka.

As a distillate from grape must, it is something like the national drink of the Chileans. The spirit achieved its international breakthrough thanks to mixed drinks such as the Pisco Sour. If you feel like it, you shouldn’t miss the Pisco MalPaso Reservado with its exemplary character. It can even be experienced pure.
The name of the exciting Pisco MalPaso Reservado refers to the secret of its success. Similar to Reserve Wein or Reserva Rum, for example, the grape distillate was stored and refined as a result. The basis for the spirit is the Alejandría variety from the Moscatel family (Muscat). The grapes come from the vineyards of the eponymous Hacienda Malpaso in the Limarí Valley. The family-run company produces traditional pisco from its own white wine grapes. As a classic Reservado, the golden Pisco MalPaso Reservado has an alcohol content of between 38 and 40% vol. It was obtained by double distillation. It then spent a total of six months in stainless steel tanks, American oak barrels and French barriques. The trouble was worth it.
The Pisco MalPaso Reservado has a lot to offer in terms of aroma and taste. There is a slight hint of oak and sweetness that joins the fruity main notes. From time to time the mature Pisco also shows its floral side. The muscatel grapes really come into their own. Lemon and honey join pear, peach and spice cake. You can tell that the long and harmoniously lingering Pisco Malpaso Reservado with a lemony profile is a positive sign that it was allowed to rest for a while. Comparable to Reposado Tequila or golden rum, it has a mature elegance, but also a youthful temperament.

Although at first glance quite similar to the Pisco MalPaso Reservado, the Iconico develops a completely different aroma and taste profile by preventing the oxidative processes during storage. Fruity and floral aromas are much more reserved and more closely interwoven, while the character of the Moscatell grapes is retained and the aftertaste is still complex.

Eversbusch Doppelwachholder 46
Country: Germany
Alcohol: 46%
Type: Jenever
As the name suggests, the wonderful Eversbusch Doppelwachholder 46 comes from the hands of the Eversbusch family. This name should be no stranger to the gin connoisseurs among us, because the Eversbusch company has been around since 1780. In 1817 a brewery and a juniper distillery were built on today’s Berliner Straße. The new juniper distillery was built in 1907, in which the sixth generation of the sixth generation of the great-great-great-grandchildren of Peter Christoph Eversbusch produce the Eversbusch Doppelwachholder 46, which is well-known beyond Hagen’s borders. And it is precisely this gin that has been an outstanding product among juniper connoisseurs for generations. Tradition has been a top priority here for generations. Not only do the brothers stick to the traditional recipe, they have also been sourcing their juniper berries from the same importer in Tuscany for over three generations. Chemicals are consistently avoided in production. Without exception, only raw materials are selected that were used 200 years ago.

Tubi 60
Country: Israel
Alcohol: 40%
TUBI 60 is one of Israel’s most popular drinks. This is the latest cult drink of hipsters, cocktail bars and cafes in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The bitter of the enterprising. Its unique citrus, green spice, ginger, aniseed, mint, saffron, turmeric, Roman cumin, woody, floral, rose extract, resinous taste is very special, and mostly perfect on its own, it is not necessary to mix it with anything, but you can try it anyway. The alcohol content of Tubi 60 is 40%, which is not bad. The drink was created in 2012 by two brothers, Hilal and Yanai Tubi, in their parents’ apartment in Haifa. Of course, this “mixing” sounds simple, but we had to work with it. In any case, they were able to progress quite well, because the drink was already licensed on the market in Israel in 2013. Jerusalem was the first city where in 2014 it was already available in bars. The unique taste and specialty were worth it, because they quickly outgrew the first “plant”, so in 2015 they continued production on a larger scale. Global market expansion began in 2017. At that time, TUBI 60 was among the first to appear in Hungary, the USA, Norway, and Germany. It has only been on the market for a few years, but according to the Israeli press, Tubi 60 is the first Israeli drink that combines regional flavors, spices, and flavors and distillation technique were successfully combined.
The goal of the Tubi brothers’ start-up was that the new drink:
– Be as unique as it is not yet on the market,
– Be easy to consume and should also have a stimulating effect .
It is rumored that the stimulating effect of Tubi 60 is actually caused by khat (Catha edulis ). All of this is hard to believe given the permits, especially the US permit , but who knows? If only because, as Haaretz write, Yemeni immigrants made khat juice and khat leaves fashionable in hipster cafes in Tel Aviv.
Salvia
Country: Spain
Alcohol: 18%
The term Salvia comes from the Latin word “salvare”, which means “heal”, referring to the healing properties of the herb.

Alcohol: 41.5%
Remedy Spiced Rum is a fine blend made from Caribbean rums from Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and the Dominican Republic. The finest spices such as vanilla, orange peel and cinnamon are added to this blend to create a characterful, multi-faceted spiced rum.
According to legend, Remedy Spiced Rum was created in the USA at the time of Prohibition. At that time only pharmacies were allowed to sell spirits for “medical purposes”. The pharmacist Frank M. Farrington then developed this noble rum mixed with spices. The recipe was so successful that the rum was used pure, on ice or in various cocktails.
Rhum Dillon Canne Rouge
Country: Martinique
Alcohol: 50%
When it comes to the production of spirits, it always depends on the raw material. In the case of rum, this is sugar cane, from which sugar cane juice, sugar cane honey and molasses can be obtained. The majority of rums on the market are based on the latter. Rum from Martinique, on the other hand, is produced under French control as Rhum Agricole and uses sugar cane juice. Accordingly, it is important to rely on a high-quality raw material. The maker of Dillon Rum has specialized in certain types of sugar cane, such as canne bleue (blue sugar cane) and canne rouge (red sugar cane). The Rhum Dillon Blanc Canne Rouge 2019 pays tribute to that variety while honoring the terroir that influenced the sugar cane by growing it on a plot within the sugar cane plantations.
The expressive Rhum Dillon Blanc Canne Rouge 2019 is presented as a rhum blanc – i.e. as a white rum. This means that the Martinique rum did not mature in wooden barrels after distillation according to the AOC regulations. Clear and powerful, the Rhum Dillon Blanc Canne Rouge 2019, made with great attention to detail, convinces with a high alcohol content. However, it is not as high-proof as a classic overproof rum. As a vintage rum, it benefits from the harvest of a single vintage and also reflects the conditions such as the weather in that year. Connoisseurs appreciate this as well as its authentic character.
If you give the Rhum Dillon Blanc Canne Rouge 2019 a chance, you will be seduced in an intense and rich way. The full-bodied Agricole Rum reveals interesting notes of vegetables, accompanied by a fruity undertone. You can also look forward to a spicy undertone and a slight alcoholic bite. What speaks for the Rhum Dillon Blanc Canne Rouge 2019 is that it also shows a fascinating contrast of sweet and salty nuances. Thanks to its high drinking strength and its complex profile.
Hampden Estate 8 Year Pure Single Jamaican Rum
Country: Jamaica
Alcohol: 46%
Jamaican rum looks back on centuries of history. The Caribbean island was once dotted with distilleries. Unfortunately, things are different today. As on the neighboring islands, the number of distilleries has dwindled rapidly over time, but some of the once giants have thrived against the competition. These include the long-established Hampden Estate Distillery with its impressive heritage. She has taken over the production of the Hampden Estate 8 Years Pure Single Jamaican Rum, which is available with regular alcohol content and as a high-proof Overproof Edition.
The characterful Hampden Estate 8 Years Pure Single Jamaican Rum is typical of its home country. Jamaican rum is usually a relatively heavy spirit based on fermented molasses that is discontinuously distilled in a pot still. As a rule, one encounters so-called high ester rum, which has a high ester content. This is partly accompanied by the typical “funk” that the Jamaican rum deserves to be recognised. All this also characterizes the exemplary Hampden Estate 8 Years Pure Single Jamaican Rum from the Caribbean. After distillation, it was allowed to rest in American white oak casks for almost a decade before being bottled at a comfortable drinking strength in a limited number of bottles.
In terms of aroma and taste, one should not underestimate the Hampden Estate 8 Years Pure Single Jamaican Rum from a well-known house. As expected, the rum from Jamaica is funky and powerful. A certain alcoholic undertone accompanies the fruity notes. Banana chips and a certain savory spice emerge. The complex, dry Hampden Estate 8 Years Pure Single Jamaican Rum rounds it all off with dried fruit and wood. Anyone who likes it strong, self-confident and hardly at all sweet will get their money’s worth here. The golden rum comes to the customer without artificial colors and without additional sweetening and is anything but subtle. Experts are in demand here.
Flor de Cana Terra
Country: NIcaragua
Alcohol: 40%
When producing spirits, more and more distilleries are paying attention to how their practices impact the environment. After all, it is part of the spirits industry that natural resources are processed, that waste is generated and that nature is burdened by transport. One company pays particular attention to sustainability and has set a new trend in motion with its Flor de Caña Rum from Nicaragua. You can now discover the eagerly awaited Flor de Cana 15 Years ECO Rum, which sets a high standard and hopefully gets the competition rolling.
The unique Flor de Cana 15 Years ECO Rum lives up to its name. This is an ultra premium rum from Central America, made in a sustainable way with great attention to detail and innovation.

Apart from that, the coppery Flor de Cana 15 Years ECO Rum shows its high-quality, full-bodied and characterful side. Nutmeg, pepper and other spices are noticeable in the aroma. Finely tart hazelnuts and sweet caramel join in. In the opulent, soft and mild taste, the long-matured Nicaraguan rum inspires with dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts and spices.

Plantation Original Dark Rum
Country: Barbados
Alcohol: 40%
The Plantation Original Dark Rum is one of the first rums in the series and now comes from Barbados. This is a premium blend that shines an elegant, reddish pale gold in its bottle. Like its relatives, the Plantation Original Dark Rum benefits from the fact that it first rests in its country of origin in ex-bourbon casks from America. It is then shipped to France, where it matures for several months in small cognac barrels in the cellars of Cognac Ferrand. Such a procedure was widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries, but is now rare. It gives the dark blended rum the finishing touch.
The aroma and taste of the Plantation Original Dark Rum convince with a mixture of sweetness and spice. Pralines, toffee and exotic spices harmonize with each other, accompanied by a soft, full mouthfeel. After a mild start, the taste develops more strength and richness of nuances.

Clairin Le Rocher Ansyen
Country: Haiti
Alcohol: 47.7%
A really extraordinary rum with hints of whiskey is Le Rocher Clairin Ansyen 21 months . It is a light, golden-yellow rum with a striking and exquisite taste.
This is surprisingly soft and round for such a young distillate. Fine sweet notes from the sugar cane syrup and a certain fruitiness meet pleasantly tart wood notes. All these fine nuances work together in an extremely aromatic form and create a unique, unusual taste experience.
This rum is very young, clear Clairin, which is 100% natural and was only allowed to be stored for 21 months and has therefore not matured for two years. Le Rocher Clairin Ansyen spent these 21 months in oak barrels, which is extremely atypical for this type of spirit. Even more untypical is that these are former bourbon whiskey barrels, which is what creates the unique taste. In many ways this is an unusual rum: three experts were involved in the fine drop. The sugar honey rum is distilled by Michel Sajous in Haiti. Luc Litschgi’s distillate is selected in Marseilles for the Carry Nation company. And the distiller Luca Gargano also shaped the rum significantly on behalf of the independent bottler Habitation Velier.
Rhum JM Jardin Fruite (SOLD OUT)
Country: Martinique
Alcohol: 42%
The exciting rhum JM Jardin Fruite and its two brothers were specially designed so that bartenders can use three flavors. The Rhum JM Jardin Fruite shows its fruity side, while the Fumée Volcanique is reminiscent of volcanoes with its smoke and the Épices Créoles provides the Caribbean pleasure with a warm spice. What the spirits have in common is that they are at home in the French Antilles and therefore inspire as a rare Rhum Agricole. This means that Martinique rum is based on fermented sugar cane juice rather than molasses. After distillation, it was stored for around 24 months in both French and American oak barrels.
In terms of aroma and flavor, the amber rhum JM Jardin Fruite offers both power and charisma. As advertised by the manufacturer, it ensnares the senses with its savory fruitiness. It’s like strolling through an orchard in summer. The tropical-looking, richly fruity Rhum JM Jardin Fruite also has a slightly sweet effect. Flambéed desserts with tropical fruits come to mind. Citrus peel as well as honey and caramel complete the whole thing. The tasty, easily mixable Agricole Rum has a slightly woody finish with gentle roasted aromas and a fresh note of citrus.

Alcohol: 46.2%
For around 300 years, the Royal British Navy provided its marines with a daily ration of rum on the high seas. The whole thing was a tradition with fixed rituals, which had good reasons at the time and was an integral part of everyday life on the ships. The whole thing only came to an end on July 31, 1970, with an official farewell fanfare and much to the regret of the British Navy. At exactly eleven o’clock in the morning the very last ration of rum was handed out and that day went down in history as Black Dead Day. This is what the Black Tot Rum is named for, which is presented in a matching black robe and claims to be British Royal Navy Rum. The elegant packaging underscores its character and helps it take you back in time.
The exciting Black Tot Rum comes from the bottler Elixir Distillers from Great Britain, but its roots are of course in the Caribbean. As a multinational blend, it combines high-quality distillates from several countries. Distilled on the basis of molasses, these were allowed to store in oak barrels for several years, although the exact age is not disclosed. Sometimes released with the appropriate suffix “Last Consignment”, Black Tot Rum is available in both near cask strength and lighter alcohol levels.
The aroma of the mahogany-colored to red-brown Black Tot Rum inspires with notes of syrup and dark chocolate. The initial sweetness is gradually joined by overtones of very ripe fruit, sugar and slightly tart walnuts. The taste of the long-matured Black Tot Rum is just as complex and meaningful. It looks rich and complex without going overboard. Tones of thick, powerful sweetness go hand in hand with undertones of cassis, cocoa and slightly bitter espresso. The whole thing leads to a wonderfully long, expressive finish. fragrant wood and cigar tobacco are complemented by black fruits and a hint of sweetness.

This Jamaican rum from a well-known company takes you back in time and at the same time meets modern expectations.

Tequila
Tequila Calle 23 Anejo
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Calle 23 is a wonderful product by the likeable Frenchwoman Sophie Decobecq. A French biologist specializing in agave culture. Although Sophie does not own a distillery, she and her team take over an entire distillery several times a year. There they can produce their Calle 23 Tequila with their own agaves and their own yeast culture (before fermentation) for a certain period of time. The agaves come from the Mexican Highlands, Los Altos de Jalisco from an area between Tapatitlan and Arandas. The soils there are very mineral, making for an equally mineral and complex end product. After distillation, this tequila is stored in ex-bourbon casks for 16 months.
Topanito Reposado Tequila
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Topanito Reposado is a tequila of superior 100% agave quality. In keeping with Mexico’s centuries-old tradition of tequila making, Topanito is made right in the city of Tequila, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.
Topanito is produced using traditional, quality-oriented processes such as the so-called “single batch” distillation. After distillation, Topanito Reposado matures in oak barrels for several months, expanding its fine agave notes with aromas of vanilla and forest honey. Topanito is bottled at the distillery to ensure the highest and consistent quality.
Topanito Reposado is an exquisite treat on its own – enjoy it from a cognac snifter or a nosing glass.
Tequila Calle 23 Reposado
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Matured after 8 months in small bourbon barrels, this full-bodied tequila is visually striking due to its delicate amber color and its nose with its aromas of nuts, caramel and delicate vanilla alongside the typical scent of cooked agave.
Calle 23 was created by Sophie Decobecq, one of the few female tequileras in Mexico in an otherwise traditionally male society. Sophie studied biochemistry and fell in love with tequila and the environment in which it is made from an early age. Since then, her passion has been agave brandy. She finally emigrated to Mexico more than 10 years ago to continue her passion. Calle 23 is made in Zapotlanejo, which is in the eastern highlands of the Agave growing region of the Jalisco Highlands. There, the terroir (the soil conditions) produces particularly fruity and sweet agave, because these agave was selected by Sophie Decobecq to create a special tequila, just Calle 23. The agave grows there between 7 and 10 years.
Casamigos Blanco
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
When the actor George Clooney, together with his friends Randy Gerber and Mike Meldmann, launched the Casamigos brand in 2013 – in English something like “House of Friends” – the Casamigos Blanco also saw the light of day. The Tequila Blanco, a 100% agave tequila, is produced in the Diageo México Operaciones distillery – but originally in the Productos Finos de Agave distillery – in the Mexican state of Jalisco. At the beginning there are only blue weaver agaves grown for seven to nine years in the highlands of Jalisco, whose hearts – so-called pinas – are cooked in stone ovens for 72 hours. The juice obtained is then fermented using a proprietary yeast over a period of 80 hours. It is distilled twice in a copper-coated still. The distillate is allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to two months before bottling with an alcohol volume adjusted to 40 percent using water from its own spring.
The smell of Casamigos Blanco turns out to be pure, fresh and sweet at the same time. Delicate tones of citrus, especially lime, as well as notes of green grass and yeast meet pronounced notes of ripe agave, vanilla and toffee. The very well-rounded alcohol is remarkable. In the mouth, the tequila is soft and quite fresh at the beginning. The citrus presence of orange and lemon is followed by the sweet aromas of ripe agave, vanilla and toffee. In the background, the taste also shows traces of grass, yeast and a little pepper. In addition to citrus tones, the rather long and soft aftertaste is also characterized by sweet nuances of ripe agave, vanilla and toffee. A certain creaminess develops noticeably.
Casamigos Reposado
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
The Casamigo (meaning House of Friendship) brand was founded by Rande Gerber, George Clooney and Michael Meldmann. The smooth tequila was primarily produced for personal use, to be shared with family and friends.
The Jalisco highlands in Mexico are considered the most renowned region for agave cultivation. The agaves for the Casamigos come from there. The nutrient-rich red clay soil, high altitude, warm days and cool nights naturally produce sweeter tequilas. The distillery is located at almost 2000 meters altitude. This altitude means that the agaves contain less water, but more sugar and fruitier aromas.
Manufacturing process: Once harvested, the piñas, the heart of the agave, are roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours before undergoing a particularly slow fermentation process that lasts a further 80 hours – almost double the industry standard.
Characteristic: Small batch, ultra premium tequila. Matured for seven months.
Taste: Soft, with light oak aromas and notes of caramel and cocoa. Silky texture.
Finish: Medium to long, soft finish.
Special feature: With the project and bottle number on the label, as well as signed by Clooney and Gerber.

Tequila Calle 23 Blanco
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
The mixability is particularly high for the Calle 23 Tequila (made from 100% blue agave), both in combination with sweetness and acidity, this tequila easily manages without losing its character. The Calle 23 Blanco is the first choice for tequila purists, but in addition to the typical agave taste there are also hints of apples and pears, especially in the aftertaste and finish. It can be enjoyed pure, but it also plays its trump cards in classic margaritas. Combined with the acidity of lemons or limes, it shows its dominance and so each margarita also retains the typical agave character. The freshness and fruitiness go hand in hand with the character of the agave used.
Calle 23 was created by Sophie Decobecq, one of the few female tequileras in Mexico in an otherwise traditionally male society. Sophie studied biochemistry and fell in love with tequila and the environment in which it is made from an early age. Since then, her passion has been agave brandy.

Vermouth
Sacred English Amber Vermouth
Country: UK
Alcohol: 21.8%
World’s Best Extra-Dry Vermouth – World Drinks Awards 2019.
Delicate, floral & with a distinct note of Spanish Sweet Orange, this vermouth is now recognised as the closest equivalent to the legendary Kina Lillet in the Vesper Martini (immortalised by Ian Fleming in Casino Royale, 1953). As such, it is served by Alessandro Palazzi of Dukes Bar, SW1, in all of their Vespers, and also works well on the rocks with a lemon twist, or in a more sophisticated take on the classic Spritz.
From the judges of the World Drinks Awards:
“Sweetness on the nose with orange peels and wormwood. On the palate wormwood developing and opening up with sweet spices, orchard fruits. Nice mouthfeel and warming alcohol coming through.”

Country: IT
Alcohol: 18%
Leonardo Leuci, creator of Vermouth del Professore, is a passionate man with great expertise.

Carpano Classico Rosso
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 16%
The Carpano Classico Vermouth Rosso is a truly classic vermouth based on Antonio Benedetto Carpano’s original recipe. Its color derives from the 100% natural burnt sugar, which also gives the product an essential aromatic note. Like all Carpano products, this vermouth contains no artificial colors, preservatives or additives.
Tasting Note: Compared to the Antica Formula, the Carpano Classico Rosso has less intense citrus and vanilla notes, giving it a more “robust” character. Its spicy, citrusy notes combine with the typical vermouth notes, giving this classic vermouth its unique smooth taste.
Carpano Bianco
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 16%
Carpano Bianco has a light yellow color, a fresh and complex aroma and an easily recognizable wine note, in addition to citrus and exotic fruit aromas. Fresh cocoa beans and almonds complete the taste of this delicious vermouth. An initially smooth and velvety feeling on the palate is rounded off by a complex wine note with mineral tones. This vermouth is ideal for refining cocktails. However, you can also enjoy it pure on ice with a slice of grapefruit.
La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge
Country: France
Alcohol: 16.5%
This powerful Rouge Vermouth is based on a very good red wine from southern France. But as is the good old tradition at La Quintinye, this Rouge Vermouth is also made with red Pineau de Charentes . However, it is not just this composition that makes up the unique taste of this La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge, but rather the selection of herbs and spices that are responsible for the opulent aroma profile. La Quintinye fills this exquisite vermouth from France with 16.5% vol. into the 750 ml bottle .
The tasting note for the La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge: With its wonderfully dark colour, this Rougue Vermouth clearly stands out from its two siblings. On the nose, this premium vermouth is characterized by its spicy aroma, which increasingly comes to light with caramel and roasted vanilla. A hint of liquorice and dark pome fruit rounds off the tastefully complex bouquet. Its finish is clearly structured and characterized by a sweet, spicy note.
Punt E Mes
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 16%
While Fernet Branca is a bitter liqueur from the Amado category, Punt e Me is a traditional vermouth from Piedmont. Italian vermouth is dark in color and has a characteristic, slightly bitter to sweet taste. In addition to the main ingredient wormwood, other herbs and spices are used. The brand name can be translated as “a point and a half”. By this they mean that the recipe supposedly relies on half a portion of bitterness and a portion of sweetness. The Punt e Mes vermouth is often used as a substitute for regular red vermouth in cocktails such as Manhattan, Americano, Boulevardier and Negroni. Until 2011, Vermouth was produced by Carpano in Turin before Fratelli Branca took over the brand. Vermouth is most commonly enjoyed as an aperitif, although it shouldn’t necessarily be compared to Campari.
Dolin Dry
Country: France
Alcohol: 17.5%
From 1815 onwards, Joseph Chavasse, the 25-year-old founder of the Dolin Vermouth distillery, cre-ated exceptional aromas from fruits and plants from this special region of France. In Echeles en Savoie, in the French province of Mont Blanc, he worked intensively on these special extractions of the aromas. He was inspired by the aperitifs until 1821 when he offered his own vermouth, the Dolin Vermouth Dry, for tasting. In 1919 the brothers Charles and Joseph Sevez took over the Dolin Vermouth distillery, which is still owned by the family.
Taste: Dolin Vermouth Dry is a characteristic dry vermouth wine from France. His liquor distiller Joseph Chavasse combined the best white wines from the Savoy with wild French alpine herbs. These produce the fresh but dry aromatic taste of wormwood with fine acids. To this day, the wine is one of the classics of the highest quality. It is characterised by its delicate light green colour and its fruity, spicy notes. Its bitter but at the same time sweet taste creates a silky texture on the palate. The Dolin Vermouth Dry captivates with its unobtrusive yet highly aromatic taste. Freshness and elegance are convincing in this velvety soft wormwood, whose recipe is unchanged from the beginning.
Dolin Rouge
Country: France
Alcohol: 16%
Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Rouge comes from Dolin, a house of the same name, which was founded in 1815 by Joseph Chavasse in the department of Savoie. Joseph Chavasse distilled his liqueur with the extraction of fruits and plants. Later he moved to Chambery and began to marry local Savoy wines with herbs from the nearby mountain region. The Dolin brand in particular goes back to the spouses of a descendant of the founder. As a typical French vermouth, Dolin delights thanks to its dry, full, and fresh character.
Excellent white wines, alpine herbs, spices and essences go together to make this fine vermouth. The red coloration of this Vermouth Rouge is not caused by red wine but by the use of selected plant extracts.
Slightly bitter notes meet highly aromatic and spicy flavours. Fruit compote combines with plum and walnut. Cinnamon, vanilla and Szechuan peppers comprise the heavier notes. On the palate complex notes of almonds, citrus, pear, tobacco, spice cake, and oregano are present.
Carpano Antica Formula
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 16.5%
Carpano Antica Formula has a classic and distinctive aroma. This Italian vermouth brings a unique touch of class to quality cocktails with its inimitable taste. With rich notes of vanilla, this vermouth edges out the competition. Carpano Antica Formula was invented in Turin by Antonio Benedetto Carpano, and to this day the classic vermouth is still produced in the Fratelli Branca Distillery according to the original recipe.
Carpano Antica Formula is made with a blend of white wines, including Piemonte Muscat and rich wines from the South of Italy. The distinctive flavour comes from carefully selected herbs from the Italian mountain regions. But the star of this vermouth is the delicate vanilla which is accompanied by hints of spices and dried fruit such as star anise, orange peel, and dates.
Whisky
Stauning Curious Peated Rye Whisky
Country: Denmark
Alcohol: 43%
Stauning Curious is what is popularly known as White Dog, New Make or raw whiskey. It’s the unripened heart of our rye whiskey – and to make it even more unique, we’ve smoked the mash bill for our rye whiskey with peat, which is normally reserved for our peated single malts.
It tastes fantastic as it is – comparable to mezcal or some grappas – but sweeter and very smoky. It’s the obvious choice for luxurious cocktails. Try it as a substitute for vodka, mezcal, or aged whiskey. Curious is a taste explosion. Winner of “World’s Best New Make” at the 2019 World Whiskeys Awards.
Stauning Bastard Rye Whisky Mezcal Finish
Country: Denmark

Aroma: Sweet pipe tobacco smoke rises from the nosing glass and mixes with juicy raisins, buttery oat cookies, oranges and lemon peel and tart oak notes.
Taste: Sweet cereal notes and drying tobacco leaves with lightly burnt caramel, molasses and again many juicy raisins, which now also include dates and dried apricots. In addition, Scottish shortbread with a little pepper, dark chocolate and coffee roasted notes.

Taste: Again smoke and dark chocolate, nougat, vanilla, liquorice and dried fruits.
Finish: Long finish with smoke, liquorice, vanilla and dried fruits.
Smokehead

Aroma: Heavy smoke. Spicy and sweet with fresh lemon, ginger and plum jam.
Taste: Like a cannonball, it hits the palate with peat smoke and delicate honey sweetness. A touch of pepper and peat.
Classic of Islay 43%
Country: UK
Alcohol: 43%
CLASSIC OF ISLAY Jack Wiebers – the classic in its range as a good representative of Islay in cask strength for more than 10 years – bottled exclusively for the Berlin Whiskey Manufaktur.
Jack Wiebers is a German whiskey importer who has been successfully selling various single malts on the market. The Old Train Line Collection, the Scottish Castle series and the Premier Malts, which were abandoned in favor of the Cross Hill series, are well known. These are exclusively high-quality single cask bottling at cask strength. Also very popular is the Auld Distillers Collection, which is bottled at cask strength and has a sketch of the distillery on the label. However, the Classic of Islay turned out to be the most successful bottling.
Jack Wiebers single malts are limited and neither cold-filtered nor altered in color.
Glen Moray 12 Years
Country: Scotland
Alcohol: 40%
Glen Moray is in Elgin at the foot of the River Lossie. Her name means valley of the settlement by the lake.
The history of Glen Moray begins in 1830 when an ale brewery called the Elgin West Brewery was founded in Elgin. Finally, in 1897, the brewery was converted into a distillery. The distillery was closed from 1910 to 1923.
In 1920 the distillery was bought by Leith-based blend producer Macdonald & Muir for a whopping £12,000. This had previously acquired Glenmorangie. In the 1950’s the distillery was renovated and new warehouses were built.
Up until 1978 Glen Moray malted locally grown barley. After the malting stopped, a year later the stills were doubled from two to four. It was not until 2015 that these were expanded to a whopping twelve copies.
After the owners of the distillery were first taken over by Glenmorangie and later by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, less and less malt went into blend production and more and more was marketed as single malt. Even when they were sold to the rather small French company La Martiniquaise, this trend continued.
There are a few original Glen Moray bottlings, many of them with a fairly high age statement. But there are also several independent bottlings. One can be curious and expect a lot from Glen Moray, because Glen Moray is broader and larger than ever.
With the Glen Moray 12 Years Speyside Single Malt we have a very harmonious Scotch in our range, which has a fine sweetness and comes up with spice, toffee and blackberry aromas. It matured for 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, which left intense aromas and made the Glen Moray 12 appear very soft and well-proportioned. The 12-year-old Glen Moray is bottled at 40% vol. in a beautiful bottle that contains 700 ml of whiskey.
Teeling Single Pot Still
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 46%
Discover an unconventional take on a classic Irish style of Whiskey. The first Whiskey to be distilled in Dublin in nearly 50 years, the Single Pot Still pays homage to a Dublin style made famous by the old, now closed, Dublin Whiskey Distilleries.

This is not how everyone makes Irish Whiskey – it’s the Teeling way. That’s the Spirit of Dublin.
Tasting notes:
The nose emits notes of hibiscus flowers, honeycomb, white grape flesh, grapefruit & citrus. The palate has hints of lychee, more white grape notes along with white pepper, warm, roasted peaches and baked biscuits. This is all wrapped up with a dry finish, with hints of spice, roasted almonds and maple sugar lingering in the mouth.
Teeling Small Batch Rum Cask Finish
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 46%
This Whiskey challenges the convention of what an Irish Whiskey can be, with layers of unique flavour influenced by unconventional cask maturation techniques.
Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are initially fully aged in Ex-Bourbon barrels, then married together in Central American Rum casks for up to 12 months for a unique, dried fruit profile.
Tasting notes:
An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dance with bright sweet notes of Rum.
The palate has a solid Rum influence that creates a unique smooth, sweet and slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue. Exotic fruit notes push through as well, with a sweet spicy finish complimented by lingering woody undertones.
