Tempus Fugit Gran CLassico Bitter
This is a bitter aperitif liqueur created based on the recipe for the "Italian Bitter of Turin" dating back to the 1860s. Originally produced in Turin, Italy, under the name Torino Gran Classico, the recipe was purchased in 1925 by the small Swiss distillery E. Luginbühl, and a version has since been produced mainly for local consumption. Gran Classico was developed by returning to the original recipe; it is made from a maceration of 25 aromatic herbs and roots, including wormwood, gentian, bitter orange peel, rhubarb, and hyssop. The maceration also creates a naturally attractive golden amber color, and no additional coloring is added.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: On the first nose, a captivating aromatic richness unfolds. The bittersweetness of orange peel intertwines harmoniously with the complex vegetal notes of gentian root, wormwood, and rhubarb. A subtle touch of vanilla rounds out the profile, adding a gourmand dimension.
PALATE: The attack is dominated by rhubarb, which quickly evolves into an elegant bitterness driven by gentian. Mid-palate, the bitter orange peel intensifies, offering a delightful freshness. The herbal and resinous nuances of wormwood, accompanied by sweet vanilla notes, bring superb complexity and a balanced structure.
FINISH: The finish is long, deep, and masterfully layered, balancing and alternating between sweet and bitter.

Koval White Rye Whiskey
It's a traditional American spirit, once made by George Washington in his distillery, and was widely appreciated in the New World before the advent of bourbon following the whisky rebellion. Our unaged Koval White Rye is best enjoyed neat, but it also reveals its full character, whether on the rocks or in classic and contemporary cocktails. Barely touched by the barrel before bottling, this whisky captures the authentic essence of rye, unadulterated by oak.
Koval Rye Whiskey
Using Rye that is locally and sustainably sourced in the Midwestern US, allow us to present a fresh and light whiskey that offers mellow and somewhat sweet notes of maple and candy corn, with a classically spicy finish. Works beautifully in classic cocktails such as a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Scofflaw, where its grain-forward spiciness balances out the sweetness of other ingredients.
Serum Ancon
Sérum Ancon 10yo is an exceptional blend of rums slowly aged for a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels.
1792 Ridgemont
1792 is named for the year Kentucky became a state as an acknowledgment of the importance of the Bluegrass State as the birthplace of bourbon.
