DELIRIO DE OAXACA REPOSADO MEZCAL


The heart of this reposado is produced at a traditional palenque in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, by Ricardo Gonzalez, a fourth generation grower and distiller. Delirio de Oaxaca Reposado is made with 100% naturally grown Agave espadin cultivated using ancient processes. During its lifespan the agave receives only water and is affectionately cared for by expert Agaveros. After approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite and copal. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, aged for two to four months in lightly toasted American oak casks, filtered and precisely blended to 80 proof. The final product has a soft profile with aroma of agave and discreet smoke notes. Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Reposado: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government / Comercam

Delirio Reposado possesses the characteristics of mezcal made from 100% Agave espadin combined with flavors and aromas of lightly toasted casks. The initial temperament is of fresh agave with discreet smoke from mesquite and copal wood and the finish combines these with soft notes of vanilla from American oak casks. The color is golden, the appearance is moderate and the 80 proof strength is not dominant due to double distillation and honest aging.

DELIRIO DE OAXACA ANEJO MEZCAL


Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo is produced at a traditional palenque in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, by Ricardo Gonzalez, a fourth generation grower and distiller. Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo is made from two naturally cultivated agaves: Agave espadin and Agave madre cuishe. After approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite and copal. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, aged for a minimum of 12 months in moderately toasted new American white oak casks, filtered and precisely blended to 80 proof. The final product has a robust woody profile with elegant sweet notes from aging in new casks and thin fruity notes from the blending of two agaves. Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government / Comercam.

Delirio Añejo is the handcrafted result of a union of 100% Agave espadin and Agave madre cuishe which grant rich notes of agave, citrus fruits and sweetness. This añejo possesses a robust mezcal aroma combined with notes of copal and mesquite used during the agave cooking and sweetness from the new, medium toasted casks of American oak. The reddish golden color and full-grown appearance can only be obtained by means of traditional production processes, different types of agave, and aging in new casks; these award a wealth of aromas only found in Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo.

DELIRIO DE OAXACA JOVEN MEZCAL


Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven is meticulously handcrafted under the supervision of master distiller Fernando Santibañez. The heart of this joven is produced at a traditional palenque in Matatlán, Oaxaca, by Abel Lopez, a third generation grower and distiller. Abel cultivates Agave espadin to meet Mexican organic standards by Certimex. After approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. The fermentation process is monitored by sight, sound, and smell. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, filtered and precisely blended to 84 proof. The final product has a robust profile with aroma of agave, soft fruit notes and semi-smoked character. Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government / Comercam.

The Delirio Joven bouquet comes from the fresh juice of Agave espadin which for seven long years has taken in the sun and land of Oaxaca. Robust flavors and aromas initially call to mind citrus fruits combined with the fresh agave and later evolve into sensations of pepper and chili. The translucent appearance and light body result from slow distillation in copper alembics. The finished aroma is robust, reflecting the combination of agave, mesquite and defined alcohol content of 84 proof that allows this joven to have lasting sensations beyond the first sip.

ABSOLUT CHERRYKRAN VODKA


Launched in the US in May 2012 . The main ingredients in Absolut Cherykran are Absolut Vodka and sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. Absolut Vodka is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it’s protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it’s sown one fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum are as natural as the rest of the ingredients.

TUACA LIQUEUR


TUACA is 100% natural, based on a 500-year-old recipe originating in the hills of Tuscany. Began as a legendary liqueur created for Lorenzo de Medici -ruler of Florence and visionary benefactor of renaissance art and architecture. The recipe was rediscovered in 1938, when brothers-in-law Gaetano Tuoni and Giorgio Canepa recreated this intriguing spirit and gave it a new name derived from their own- TUACA.
The process begins according to tradition with the selection of the finest Italian brandy, ranging from 3 to 10 years old. It’s sourced from Faenza, a small city near Bologna, known for producing brandy with a pleasing aroma, amber color and an exceptionally smooth finish. The final presentation is created as the master blender folds the Italian brandy into a blend of natural sugar and fine spirits before adding the crowning touch of soft citrus and vanilla essences.

PAPAGAYO ORGANIC SILVER RUM


Papagayo Silver is a single-estate rum, craft-distilled in the traditional method in the Arroyo y Esteros region of Paraguay. This area is famous for its exceptional cane sugar, the key ingredient in Papagayo, and this rum is crafted from the cream of the crop: organic cane sugar, free from any pesticides or sewage sludge fertilizers.
Papagayo Silver Rum holds a Fair Trade certification, making it the only rum available in the United States (aside from Papagayo Spiced ) that meets this rigorous standard for social responsibility.

Unlike cloyingly sweet mass-market rums, Papagayo Silver puts the full flavor derived from its exceptionally pure ingredients front and center instead of masking them beneath a sugary veil. Perhaps it is this intriguing combination of cane sugar flavor and aroma without overwhelming sweetness that earned Papagayo Silver four stars from Spirits Journal, the highest rating the prestigious publication bestows on any spirit.
