"Pungent, mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit aromas show excellent clarity and pick up succulent herb and floral nuances with air.

The floral and mineral notes resonate on a very long, lively finish that shows an appealingly silky quality."

A lively and explosive entry of summer berries gives way to a decked-out mid-palate wrapping the red-blue berry character around a generous core of sage, allspice and licorice. Tightly knit layers of fruit, earth and oak & stem derived tannins provide a long, electrifying finish. -Importer's Notes

The grapes are sourced from Anderson Valley, Sonoma County, Napa Valley and Mendocino County.

It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renowned herbs of the Grande Chartreuse mountains in a mistelle base. While tradition is to drink neat with a twist, Bonal also mixes well with fresh or hard cider, sparkling wine, and Scotch or American whiskies.

Caffo Amaretto
$20.00
The history of the Caffo family business dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Giuseppe Caffo, the Master Distiller, class of 1865, began distilling pomace on the side of volcanic Mt. Etna. After years of experience trading and managing distilleries, his dream became reality when in 1915 he bought and old distillery in Santa Venerina, Sicily. He fully dedicated himself to his passion and passed his knowledge along to his children. Giuseppe’s son, Sebastiano Caffo, soon became a Master Distiller himself, and together they founded the company ‘Fratelli Caffo’ with Sebastiano’s brother, Santo Caffo. Initially, Caffo produced a small range of spirits distilled from wine, however the Caffo distillery gradually began producing and earning recognition for their fruit and herbal liqueurs and classic Italian spirits such as Amaro, Limoncino, Amaretto, Sambuca, and aged Grappa.
Caffo’s Amaretto is titled “Fratelli D’Italia” – English translation: Brothers of Italy. In the 1930’s many Italians emigrated from their homeland seeking success. This Amaretto was created and dedicated to these Italian “Brothers” so they could carry around the world with them a small piece of home. Made from estate grown almonds, sugar and alcohol, this amaretto is the most pure and expressive on the market today. The expert distillers at Caffo produced this all-natural Amaretto from 100% real Sicilian almonds and macerated it in an herbal infusion. It’s like marzipan in a glass…

Chambord Raspberry Liqueur - 375ml
Sold Out
It is difficult to imagine a liqueur more elegant than Chambord. It became an instant success when it was introduced in the early 1980s and has been a top-shelf denizen since its arrival. Now, Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur is featured in such a large repertoire of classic and contemporary cocktails alike that the brand is permanently enrolled in the "must have" class. In the hands of the inspired, the super-premium brand has no creative limits. Chambord is made on the premises of a traditional Loire Valley Chateau south of Paris in Cour-Cheverny France. The liqueur is crafted using all-natural ingredients. An infusion of fresh raspberries and blackberries is married with a proprietary blend of natural black raspberry fruit extract, cognac, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and delicate herbs and spices. Everything about Chambord is sensational. The intrigue begins with its opaque appearance and extremely deep, ruby/purple hue. The liqueur has a luxuriously textured, medium-weight body and a wafting herbal and fruit bouquet. The semisweet palate is a lavish affair of raspberries, spice, herbs and a taste of honey. The flavors persist on the palate for a remarkably long finish. Chambord was inspired by a unique, black raspberry liqueur produced in the Loire Valley of France in the late 17th Century. While visiting the Chateau de Chambord, King Louis XIV sampled the liqueur and became immediately enamored with it. The rest is history.
