Forthave Spirits, based in Brooklyn, NY, produces botanical & aperitif spirits. The distillery was founded by two friends: painter Aaron Sing Fox and writer/producer Daniel de la Nuez. Their collection of over 200 different types of herbs, roots, barks, flowers, fruits and seeds make up the bases for their unique offerings. No artificial filtering agents or artificial colors are used, and the only sweeteners used are raw: organic turbinado sugar or raw honey from Upstate New York. Almost all ingredients are organically certified- the few that aren’t, have either been grown by small farmers without certification or wild foraged.
The Forthave “Yellow” Genepi is a fortified, aromatized wine steeped with alpine génépi flowers. The fortified wine base is a blend of Seyval Blanc and Cayuga White grapes, grown in New York’s Finger Lakes. On the nose aromas of honeysuckle, chamomile, mint, and elderflower. On the palate you will find those herbal and floral flavors accompanied by notes of candied lemon zest, and a well rounded minerality. The finish is slightly sweet and herbaceous with a touch of zippy acidity. Coming at 24% ABV it is a perfect wine based aperitif for lower proof cocktails. After opening, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.
