Pot of Gold: Award-winning whiskey, Willett Pot Still Reserve takes tradition to another level. Enjoyed straight, it has floral and citrus on the nose with citrus, honey and herbal notes on the palate. Adding water brings out flavors and aromas of bananas and milk chocolate. Very soft and easy drinking, this whiskey pairs beautifully with pork in all its forms, poultry or apple pie and aged white cheddar.
Prairie Home Organic: The best spirits are handcrafted with respect. Distilled from organic Minnesota yellow corn, Prairie Organic Vodka has aromas of sweet melons, pears and citrus, notes of vanilla, corn and honey on the palate and a smooth and warming finish. Blending herbs, citrus and a grain-based spirit, Prairie Organic Gin carries aromas of mint and sage followed by flavors of juniper, eucalyptus and citrus.
Tequila Time: Bright, clear and triple-distilled for unparalleled smoothness, Milagro Silver Tequila is made from 100% estate-grown blue agave from the highlands of Jalisco. The heart of the agave is roasted in brick ovens made from volcanic-rich soil, which produces tequila with extraordinary depth and character.
