'Spirits' (AKA 'hard liquor') is the term for all distilled alcohol - in fact, the name 'spirit' came from alchemists who believed the vapor of distillation was a 'spirit' of the original material. Technically 'spirits' and 'liqueurs' are different - spirits have no added sugar, while liqueurs do - but they tend to be lumped together. Virtually all known spirits were used as health tonics or elixirs at some point in history, but transmuted into good fun drinks over time. Many countries have their 'national' drink - gin, whisky, schnapps, grappa, ouzo, soju, vodka, rakia/rakija...there's quite a list. Experiments began with sugars and flavours - resulting in limoncello, cynar, Benedictine...that's an even longer list.

This remarkable liqueur is the result of a careful fusion of finely selected herbs and roots, each contributing its own unique qualities to create a complex and harmonious blend. Key botanicals such as achillea moscata, mace, galangal, cinnamon, clove, aromatic calamus, and many others are artfully combined to achieve a balance that is both bold and elegant. The liqueur’s distinctive bittersweet flavor, punctuated by warm, spicy undertones, lends itself to versatility, making it an ideal choice for enhancing an array of cocktails with a rich and unexpected depth. Yet, its smooth and layered profile also makes it a pleasure to enjoy on its own, either neat or over ice, where its character shines as a sophisticated after-dinner drink. Crafted with tradition and attention to detail, this liqueur offers an experience that speaks to the artistry and dedication behind each bottle.
