The Tasting Panel- April 2011
Hands-On Spirits
With names like ROOT and SNAP, these artisan spirits- created by the think tank entrepreneurs at Philly-based Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction- sound more like some uber-hip new bar or restaurant than excellent certified organic 80- proof liqueurs (wild root and ginger respectively). But drinkable and mixable they are, with their roots (pun certainly intended) in the pre-Prohibition world of small-batch production, resulting in finely-honed, nuanced flavors that are extremely mixable and also lovely when explored neat.
