Saturday August 5th 5-8PM Kikusui Junmai Daiginjo Sake Kikusui sake rice (father of the renowned Gohyakumangoku sake rice) had been all but lost to the world for half a century that is until Kikusui Sake Company stepped in. They spearheaded the effort to revive this ancient strain from only 25 grains, and now attempt to pay homage to its legacy of elegance.... After they gently and methodically polished away the outer 60% of the rice grains, their brewers set to work and were rewarded with a pure, mellow aroma. The flavor is affable and light, and carries itself deliberately over the pallet. It is bolstered by the complexities and natural dryness brought to the table by the ancient Kikusui sake rice. Enjoy slightly chilled for a rare drinking experience. See more

Thursday, June 22nd 5-8:00 PM Whistlepig Rye: WhistlePig produces a 100-proof, straight rye whiskey, aged for at least ten years through a unique double-barrel process.... WhistlePig was released in the summer of 2010 to great critical acclaim, earning 96 points from Wine Enthusiast, their highest rating ever for a rye whiskey, a highest recommendation from Spirits Journal, as well as accolades from The Wall Street Journal, GQ, Forbes, Maxim, Imbibe Magazine, and many others. These extraordinary honors humble and set a high bar for Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. WhistlePig embodies the perfect combination of proof, purity, and age hitting the sweet spot in all three categories. In short: more rye, all the proof, and the perfect age. All in. Full stop. Half Moon Gin: A perfectly balanced marriage of NY State wheat and apples distilled with eight botanicals to create a flavorful, yet subtle New World Dry style gin. The nose erupts with hints of dried apples, fresh Bergamot Orange and Nutmeg while the flavor strikes a perfect balance of floral Juniper, earthy Cardamom and sweet Elderberry. Because Orchard Gin was designed to hold its own in a range of cocktails and mixers feel free to enjoy it any way you like! Mizunomai Shochu: Handcrafted in the traditional way, this mugi shochu is single distilled from tasty Japanese two-rowed barley, black koji rice and the pure, famous waters of Black Hair Mountain. A unique spirit that is remarkably gentle, yet delicious and lively, like the graceful dance of a beautiful crane. Mizu (the moniker for , Mizu-no-mai) is proudly distilled by the Munemasa Shuzo Co. of Arita, Japan. At 70 proof, the Mizunomai is crafted in the boutique ‘genshu’ style, meaning it is not heavily diluted like ordinary shochu. This artisanal approach enhances the character and provides a more stimulating taste experience. To truly appreciate the pleasure of the Mizunomai, we recommend the traditional style of drinking with a large piece of carved ice. Or for a simple, refreshing cocktail, enjoy Mizu Shochu mixed with green tea, barley tea (mugi-cha) or fresh ruby red grapefruit juice.
