135° East

135° East’s ingredients merge East and West to create the perfect balance of dry gin with spicy sansho pepper and floral, citrusy notes of yuzu each blended in 135° East Gin. Each botanical is sourced from local farmers or specialized vendors then distilled separately to preserve the botanicals’ characteristics. This process allows better control of the final blending process when sake spirit is added. Once distilled, the gin has a typical soft sweetness which gently intwines and harmonizes the five Japanese botanicals. It is a refreshing sip for summer days served with tonic and fresh citrus.

North Dakota Sweet Crude

In a town as small as Zap, ND, there are no strangers, and there’s always a reason to celebrate.  100 years ago, occasions were toasted with Martin Weidner’s “smokehouse moonshine” – a crude spirit that mixed well with the rugged nature of North Dakotans. Old man Weidner passed his recipe on to his children, who shared it with theirs. Generations of Weidners have added their polish but left the liquor unrefined– as a good hooch should be. In recent years, the Weidner brothers were known to share it with the farmers who invited them to hunt their land, keeping on the tradition of toasting with friends and neighbors. A 75 proof, sweet liqueur, very smooth with a strong cinnamon flavor and lingering notes of citrus, ginger, and lemongrass, no burn. Enjoy straight, on the rocks or in mixed drinks but always in good company.

Osena

The founders met at Wharton during their MBA education. Vicente had a background working on the AB InBev innovation team, where he felt that too many copycat brands were entering the spiked seltzer market. He knew that coconut water, because of its naturally occurring electrolytes, was already being used as a hangover cure. Why not mix alcohol and coconut water and create an alcoholic beverage with a base that actively fights the hangover? He and his partner, Chris, spent the coming years fine tuning the process, and ensuring the quality of the liquid was second to none. Osena started in only 3 states, but in 2023 they will expand to 10 new states, and the Caribbean, as the demand for a true differentiator in “Beyond Beer” and “Better-For-You” continues to be strong. Osena is the only spiked coconut water that ferments the sugar out of the coconut milk, reducing the sugar to zero grams and only 100 calories, while still retaining all the nutritional benefits such as all the electrolytes. A rehydrating drink that is targeted at the healthier adult drinker, with a variety of flavors.
