SCORPION MEZCAL

All Scorpion brand super-premium and premium quality mezcals are carefully handmade in small quantities and individually numbered. These single-barrel mezcals allow consumers to fully appreciate the true flavorful and aromatic expression of fine100% agave spirits. Distilled in a small artisanal palenque, these mezcals exhibit the same complex subtleties as a cognac, and are far superior to bulk-made tequilas. As a distinguishing feature, all varieties of SCORPION MEZCAL come with a real scorpion in the bottle.

DEATHS DOOR SPIRITS

 

A small company in Wisconsin has made the commitment to keep the farmers on Washington Island farming. They are all about sustainability and we here at the House of Spirits thinks that's just awesome.

Besides, they're nice folks! And...

Make an absolutely phenomenal vodka and gin with all that wheat grown on the island.

They have not subscribed to the theory that vodka should be tasteless. And their gin has been compared to Pre-Prohibition style version due to its subtle sweetness, unlike most "dry" gins on the market today.

Their stated mission is "A Great Taste from the Great Lakes" and they are certainly delivering.

Where to find it in Ohio:

Coming soon to fine establishments
and stores in Summer 2008!

Orange V

Been done before, you say?

NOT LIKE THIS, we say!

Dave Schmier has come up with the most wonderful, fresh & natural tasting orange flavor for his vodka. It honestly puts all others to shame.

His spirit is distilled in small batches from premium American grain, made with pure Rocky Mountain water and flavored with select essences of Valencia, Mandarin and Tangerine.

The result is fresh orange taste partnered with a grain vodka that does not compete with the flavoring.
