Doc Herson's Absinthe

Thursday 7/21, 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Please stop by to taste a unique, locally made absinthe, now in green and red!  Doc Herson's absinthe is the first absinthe produced in Brooklyn.  The process begins by fermenting Spelt and Malted Barley.  10 different botanicals are used, including wormwood and grand wormwood.  The distillate also includes anise, lemon, fennel, lemon peel, licorice root, hyssop, peppermint and mint.  Although some may find old-world absinthes to be overpowering, Doc's is a softer, more approachable spirit with softer anise notes.  We welcome Doc's to the New York distilling scene!

Saturday, June 11th 5:00-8:00 PM

Please join us for our free tasting of this exquisite Japanese spirit!  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 美鶴乃舞, Mizu-no-mai) is proudly distilled by the Munemasa Shuzo Co. of Arita, Japan.

At 70 proof, the Mizu 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 Mizu, 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.
