St. Dalfour Royal Fig Preserve Garnish with dried black figs stuffed with goat cheese. Created by Sky Cooper, who introduced Chambord to the U.S., Dream Catcher Legendary Toasted Chestnut Irish Liqueur is an old Gaelic recipe—uncovered by a farmer in a house in County Cavan, Ireland—that mixed toasted chestnuts with Irish spirits. This tasty treasure, weighing in at 31% ABV, takes you on a dreamlike ride that you won't want to wake up from. Tasting Panel: "Super nutty on the nose with a wood feel to it. A mature nut flavor that certainly does not overpower a cocktail. A great spirit and flavor that is normally very hard to find." —Jason Alonzo "The sweetness has a lovely creamy pudding taste; layers of toasted bread, hazelnut and vanilla cream come through on the palate. You will be dreaming about this liqueur for weeks!" —Meridith May CHARLES JACQUIN ET CIE INC. Distilled in limited quantities in Louisville, Kentucky, Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye pays homage to America's oldest whiskey variety and the whiskey produced back in 1753 by the company that eventually became the Michter's brand. Master Distiller Willie Pratt and Distiller Pam Heilmann ages the Straight Rye in fire-charred new American white oak barrels. The end product would receive a thumbs-up from even our founding fathers. Tasting Notes: "This breakfast cocktail showcases the great blend of flavors in the rye—chocolate, cocoa nib and vanilla with nice pepper notes." —Adam Jed "A gorgeous rye that sets the standard for the category. It has a wonderful balance between spicy and mellow, and the toasted rye bread syrup in the cocktail added a glorious mouthfeel. Excellent bal- ance!" —Pirate MICHTER'S DISTILLERY What Dreams Are Made Of: DREAM CATCHER LEGENDARY TOASTED CHESTNUT IRISH LIQUEUR A Legendary Libati: MICHTER'S US*1 KENTUCKY STRAIGHT RYE Tricia McNatt, Marketing Manager for Transworld Alliance LLC, West Coast brokers for Dream Catcher Legendary Toasted Chestnut Irish Liqueur.
