St. George California Citrus Vodka 0,7L 40%

St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey 0.7L 43% Of pear brandy and bourbon Bourbon is to the USA as currywurst is to Berlin. Many distilleries have therefore specialised in this whiskey made from corn and have not produced any other product for generations. This is different at St. George Spirits. This distillery was only founded in 1982 and its success is based on a completely different product: fruit brandy! The founder, Jörg Rupf, knew the production process for this product in detail from his home in the Black Forest and decided to introduce Americans to traditionally produced European eau-de-vies. Jörg Rupf was successful in expanding the production area from a small 250 L pot still to a production space of over 6,000 m², starting with a single pear brandy! The production of St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey Enthusiastic about his skills, many customers repeatedly asked for a bourbon whiskey. After all, anyone who produces such good spirits as Jörg Rupf must also be able to produce good bourbon whiskey. Knowing that good bourbon whiskey needs a lot of storage time and even more experience in production, St. George decided to go a slightly different route. They bought barrels from the best bourbon distilleries in Kentucky. Yes, the St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey is a blend of products from other distilleries. And at St. George they are very open about it, which we think is great. Because that's how you build trust with your customers and can also offer them an excellent product - even if it doesn't come from your own stills for once. The two current master distillers at St. George - Lance Winters and Dave Smith - have already gained some experience in blending whiskey and thought about which of their favorite bourbons they would like to combine. Thanks to good contacts in the industry, they were able to buy up almost 400 barrels of bourbon whiskey that was aged between 5 and 8 years. The result is a bourbon that is more than the sum of its parts. The St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey. The taste of the St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey, highly praised by renowned magazines such as GQ, Forbes, Wine Enthusiast and Whisky Advocate, it seems that a lot of things went right when blending the Breaking & Entering American Whiskey. And this not-too-sweet whiskey is actually convincing with spicy and complex aromas of banana, butter, maple, cinnamon and cloves. Some connoisseurs refer to the Breaking & Entering as "breakfast bourbon". We don't really care when you drink it. But you should definitely try the Breaking & Entering American Whiskey. It's worth it - promised.

St. George Terroir Gin 0.7L 45% The story of St. George Spirits It was the beginning of the 1980s when the young Jörg Rupf emigrated from the Black Forest to California. His family had been distilling spirits for several generations and so Jörg Rupf had a keen eye for the extraordinarily high quality of raw materials that were available in the area around San Francisco. In 1982 he finally decided to set up his own distillery - the birth of St. George Spirits! At that time, almost all of the spirits offered in the USA came from large, industrially operated distilleries. Jörg Rupf's hand-crafted distillates quickly caused a stir, which was due not only to the quality but also to exceptional products such as a kiwi brandy. At about the same time, the "craft beer" movement began to develop in the USA, which also had a positive influence on the sales of "craft spirits" from St. George. The one-man company has now developed into a medium-sized company that produces a variety of different spirits on an area of over 6,000 m². One of them is the St. George Terroir Gin! The production of the St. George Terroir Gin The St. George Terroir Gin is a homage to the beauty of nature in California. Its flavor is based on the forests and soil of the Golden State. The botanicals used are therefore rather unusual. For example, Douglas fir is processed in the same way as the leaves of Californian laurel trees. The Terroir Gin gets its fine earthy aromas from coriander seeds, which are carefully roasted in a wok beforehand. The taste of the St. George Terroir Gin "One of the most distinctive gins from America" - that's how Food & Wine Magazine describes the Terroir Gin. And they're spot on, because the taste of the Terroir Gin is really incomparable to almost any other product. The nose reveals the unusual aromas of spruce, which transports you straight to the Christmas season. The Terroir Gin is suitable for any time of year and will surprise even experienced Gin & Tonic and Martini Dry drinkers!

St. George Absinthe Verte 0.7L 60% Absinthe - the evil green fairy? Absinthe was - and is - still considered by many people to be an inferior spirit that causes hallucinations and drives people crazy. That this is nonsense does not need to be explained here. But where the "fear" of absinthe comes from is already clear. The reason for this lies in Switzerland. Drinking absinthe was widespread there and heavy consumption sometimes had negative physical consequences. However, this was due to the relatively high methanol content that was found in many spirits at the time due to poor production methods. The thujone content - which is often blamed for the "absinthe madness" - was rarely higher back then than in today's bottlings, as studies have shown. When an alcoholic vineyard worker brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1905, absinthe was blamed. The man had consumed two glasses of it. The fact that he had previously drunk up to five liters of wine and other spirits was kept secret. This would have been bad for wine producers, who were actively involved in a debate about banning it. In the same year, the first countries in Europe banned absinthe, which the USA followed in 1912. In the years that followed, absinthe almost completely disappeared from the market and its sometimes excellent quality was forgotten. The only thing that stuck in people's minds was that absinthe makes you mad. Until the new century, the myth of absinthe was only kept alive by a few moonshiners who were finally able to convince governments that absinthe was not the "evil" drink they had in mind. The ban was gradually relaxed and was finally overturned in the USA in 2007. St. George Absinthe Verte The artisanal distillery St. George Spirits in California had been preparing for this day. While the sale of absinthe was still prohibited, it was not forbidden to distill it. This was done for the St. George Absinthe Verte. For a full 11 years before sales were permitted again. This time was necessary because producing an absinthe with a distinctive color and a harmonious combination of flavors is a highly complex issue. The experiment was a success and the St. George Absinthe Verte was the first legally produced absinthe to flow from an American still in 95 years. An enormously long period of time, but the wait was worth it! The St. George Absinthe Verte is produced in the traditional way without artificial additives or other gimmicks. Simply pure absinthe as it should be. The base alcohol is brandy, which is mixed with wormwood, fennel and star anise. This infusion is then distilled in 1,500 L copper pot stills and then mixed again with herbs and spices. Mint, tarragon, basil, lemon balm, hyssop, meadowsweet and nettle give the St. George Absinthe Verte its color and other flavors. The taste of the St. George Absinthe Verte Drunk neat, the Absinthe Verte from St. George Spirits is a strong, herbal hit on the taste buds. No wonder at 60% vol. We therefore recommend mixing the St. George Absinthe Verte with ice water in a ratio of 1:3. This is the only way it can open up and reveal its full flavor. This begins with notes of licorice and develops towards a citrus and herbal profile. Give absinthe - and especially the St. George Absinthe Verte - a chance. You won't be disappointed!

St. George Green Chile Vodka 0.7L 40% History and production of St. George Green Chile Vodka: The German emigrant Jörg Rupf fulfilled a long-held dream in 1982 when he founded St. George Spirits, a small craft distillery, in Alameda, California. First, he began producing highly aromatic spirits on his own from locally grown fruit. He had already acquired the knowledge to do this as a member of a distillery family in the Black Forest. At that time, there was no craft movement in the USA and Jörg Rupf is rightly regarded as a co-founder of today's scene due to his achievements. Over time, the small craft distillery grew, output and number of employees increased, new products were created and prizes and awards were won. The basic idea has always been retained: high-quality spirits distilled from locally grown fruit varieties and in small quantities. The St. George Green Chile Vodka is one of the latest creations from St. George. A variety of sweet and hot chili peppers grown in California are macerated in a neutral grain distillate. These include jalapeños, serranos and habaneros. The special thing about it is that each type of chili is distilled individually and only mixed together at the end, according to the desired taste profile. Lime peel and fresh coriander are also added to each macerate and then finely distilled. A final filtration ensures a clear, pure taste without alcoholic spiciness. Taste of the St. George Green Chile Vodka: The St. George Green Chile Vodka has a slightly greenish color due to the complex manufacturing process. The aroma contains both sweet and spicy chili notes, which together with the lime peel and coriander leaves create an unprecedented explosion of aroma. The ripe chili notes are clearly evident in the taste. Above all, the interplay between sweet, aromatic chilies, fruity limes, herbal coriander and the strong spiciness of the habaneros is unique and leaves a taste impression that will be remembered for a long time. The finish is long-lasting and warming, the spiciness increases over time and fades only slowly. Due to its unique taste, the St. George Green Chile Vodka is ideal for cocktail creations with a certain kick. The world-famous Bloody Mary in particular is taken to a whole new level with the St. George Green Chile Vodka and is guaranteed to attract admiring glances.

Skyy Vodka 0,7L 40% Die Geschichte von Skyy Vodka Maurice Kanbar gründete 1992 in San Francisco, Kalifornien, die Firma Skyy Spirits mit dem Ziel, einen besonders klaren und reinen Vodka auf den Markt zu bringen. Unzufrieden mit der „Spritigkeit“ vieler erschwinglicher Vodkas, entwickelte Kanbar ein einzigartiges Herstellungsverfahren, um den für ihn besten Vodka zu kreieren. Mit großer Expertise und Hingabe schuf er ein vierfaches, temperaturgesteuertes Destillationsverfahren. Die Herstellung von Skyy Vodka Dank der präzisen Temperatursteuerung gelingt es, Fuselalkohole und Aldehyde effektiv vom trinkbaren Ethanolalkohol zu trennen. Nach der Destillation wird der Vodka dreifach gefiltert, um unerwünschte Stoffe zu entfernen. Das Ergebnis ist nicht nur ein besserer und reinerer Geschmack, sondern auch ein Vodka, der durch seinen niedrigen Gehalt an Fuselalkoholen schonender für die Gesundheit ist. Die markante blaue Flasche Anfangs wurde Skyy Vodka in Flaschen aus klarem Glas verkauft. Schon ein Jahr nach der Gründung entschied man sich jedoch für die ikonische kobaltblaue Flasche mit minimalistischem Design, die heute unverkennbar mit der Marke verbunden ist. Ihr auffälliges Design ist aus keiner Bar mehr wegzudenken. Skyy Vodka, hergestellt aus hochwertigem amerikanischem Weizen, überzeugt durch seinen ausgewogenen, runden und besonders weichen Geschmack. Diese Milde macht ihn bei Bartendern sehr beliebt, da er den Geschmack anderer Zutaten kaum beeinflusst und sich hervorragend zum Mixen von Cocktails und Longdrinks eignet.
