Santa Teresa 1796 Holiday Gift Set

From the oldest Venezuelan rum brand, Santa Teresa 1796 is one of the first super-premium rums to employ the Solera Method, an artisanal processing method featuring a blend of light, heavy, and pot still rums aged 4 to 35 years.

Santa Teresa 1796 features a palate that hearkens back to scotch and whiskey, with tobacco, leather, molasses, and dark chocolate notes—packaged in a stylish value pack accompanied by the limited-edition Cantinero Coffee Bitters created by renowned bartender Julio Cabrera.

Complementing the dry flavor notes of the super-premium rum, the bitters are made from cacao, cracked coffee beans, sarsaparilla - a highly aromatic ground root with a sweet-spicy vanilla flavor - and molasses.

Bombay Bramble Gin

This season, Bombay Bramble will serve as the perfect accouterment to any holiday bar cart, thanks to its stunning jewel-toned ruby red coloring. Bombay Bramble has a rich berry flavor because it is made with fresh blackberries and raspberries harvested at their ripest moment, perfectly paired with the gin’s bright juniper notes.

Master of Botanicals, Ivano Tonutti and Master Distiller Dr. Anne Brock spent time refining the balanced, all-natural flavor expression that challenges the common practice of other flavored gins on the market, which often use concentrates, additional sugars, and additives to flavor the liquid. Use Bramble to create festive cocktails from a refreshing Bramble & Tonic or a cozy Bramble Mulled Wine to ring in the holiday season.
