inocente Platinum Tequila, the new ultra-premium tequila is the product of four friends' vision to create a superior platinum blend for today's discerning palate. With a refreshing floral bouquet that offers just a hint of vanilla, tripled-distilled inocente Platinum Tequila tastes exceptionally smooth and clean; it has a distinctive light pepper finish on the back of palate that tells you the agave has been cooked with care and distilled with passion.

From the Spanish word for innocent, inocente is made from estate-grown, 100 percent blue weber agave from the heart of Mexico's Tequila region, the plants are all-naturally grown and hand harvested. The agave is prepared and cooked in the traditional manner in dry masonry kilns or "hornos" to retain its rich flavors.  The honey-colored juices are then fermented and pure spring water from the nearby mountains is added using modern equipment and small batch processes to ensure exceptional standards of flavor, quality, and consistency. 

 

 

The super-premium ginger liqueur Domaine de Canton was inspired by a 19th-century recipe for ginger-infused white Cognac first made there.  It is produced using the freshest baby Vietnamese ginger, which is peeled and cut by hand and then blended with VSOP and XO Grande Champagne Cognacs, Provençal honey, Tunisian ginseng, and fresh vanilla beans. Together, these carefully blended ingredients create an intense and complex taste that is as delicious as it is sublime. Handmade in small batches, this bright, vibrant, and multi-faceted libation is worthy of urban tastemakers.
