Fortified Wine

Dolin Vermouth

Chambéry, Savoie, France

Our house vermouth of choice, Dolin is among the few remaining independent vermouth producers and still observes terroir-focused, traditional use of Savoyard plants: working with local growers, helping them to grow certain wild alpine plants under threat.

Whisk(e)y

Old Granddad Bonded Bourbon

Jim Beam Distillery, Clermont, Kentucky

OGD is created during one distillation season, at one distillery and aged in a federally bonded warehouse for minimum 4 years, plus bottled at 100 proof. Guaranteed quality. Beam's 2030 diversity/inclusion goals include 50% women in leadership and 45% racial and ethnic representation in the US.

Whisk(e)y

Rittenhouse Rye

Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky

Rittenhouse is a fruity, bonded rye with lots of spice notes that works perfectly in both cocktails, and as a sipper straight or over ice. Their sustainability efforts focus on becoming carbon neutral; improving water use efficiency; eliminating waste, and reducing the use of virgin plastic.
