Maker Notes

We were honored to have our El Platino awarded "Top Tequila" by the San Francisco World Spirits Competition back to back years.

Crafted from specially-selected 100% blue agave, our "Silver" is the foundation for all we produce. Through a proprietary process of multiple distillations and filtration we have found the perfect balance in preserving taste while eliminating the harsh finish present in many other tequilas. AsomBroso El Platino is a sophisticated tequila perfect for sipping straight or mixing.

TASTING NOTES

The nose emits zesty scents of fennel, anise and dried herbs; aeration brings out elements of chocolate, agave, olive and rye bread. Palate entry is peppery and sharp, followed by mid-palate flavors of sweet pepper and ripe agave; concluding toasty and mellow.

ALL NATURAL SPIRITS

In the crowded world of vodka, something was missing. There were no natural options. Artificial fruit extracts, flavors, and colors lined the shelves, and we knew something had to be done. So through our desire for naturally infused spirits, Wild Roots was born.

As natives to the Pacific Northwest, we knew there were few places in the world that produced fruit as flavorful and abundant as Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The rich soil, pure water, and exceptional climate allow the fruit to develop unparalleled taste and balance—which is crucial for creating an authentic tasting spirit.

Each bottle of Wild Roots starts with 6 times filtered corn-based vodka, infused with real fruit the Pacific Northwest is best known for. To capture the essence of the beautiful Northwest, we chose fruits that weren’t only rich in flavor, but history as well. 

Wild Roots Apple & Cinnamon

Infused with real fruit in every bottle, this spirit tastes like sipping on fresh apple cider. The perfect blend of apple varieties and a touch of real cinnamon sticks create an unmatched experience.

No artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors.

The Prestige carafe for the CAMUS XO pays homage to the tradition of tableware while offering an innovative approach centered on daily use.

Beyond trends and fashion, by associating pure aesthetics and emotions, CAMUS has created a dazzling carafe. The intense amber reflections of the cognac it contains will illuminate the moments shared at the table or after meals.

The new XO blend is the perfect expression of Maison CAMUS' uncompromising research into the intense aroma of cognacs. The result of the ideal marriage of advanced distillation and finishing and blending techniques developed over five generations in the same family, CAMUS XO cognac subtly evolves in the mouth during a journey filled with emotions and sensations.

TASTING NOTES

The nose first perceives the tasty aromas of apricot kernels and bitter oranges as well as notes of exotic fruits and a hint of deep cocoa.

On the palate, it is first of all a silky texture that evokes honey and an intense floral taste that result directly from the Instensity process. Its character gradually evolves towards spicy and toasty aromas obtained by the finishing process in cognac barrels having undergone a second heating. Finally, it leaves a long and intense final touch on the palate, enriched with the powerful aromas of vanilla and cinnamon that result from the slow maturation of the cognac in oak barrels.

Features

• Ageing: Fine-medium grain French oak barrel (capacity 350 litres)

• Cru: Cognac (blend from the different crus of the appellation)

• Grape variety: Ugni Blanc

• Aging: 10 years for the youngest batches entering the blend

• Tasting temperature: Ambient (20°)

Gin and Tonic

Bubbly tonic and botanical-bursting gin have had a storied love affair since the 1700s when the army of the British East India Company drank the duo because of the belief that the quinine in tonic water prevented and treated malaria. Pop open and pour over ice for the easiest way to enjoy this dynamic duo.

Tasting Notes: Fresh citrus, herbaceous botanicals and bittered tonic make this bubbly classic right for anytime of the day, out of the can or over ice.

Margarita

Like most cocktail lore, the Margarita's conception is a bit unclear. What is clear, is that Beagans Margarita is the simplest way to enjoy the classic combo of Tequila, Triple Sec, and lime that we all love.

Tasting Notes: True to a classic Margarita, a healthy dose of Tequila is met by notes of orange marmalade, and bright citrus. Crisp and clean, not overly sweet, perfect for its long-time buddies, lime, and salt.

THE BOND ARCHIVE
The distinct range tells the story of innovation over 60 years and the pioneering character attributes of James Bond and The Macallan. James Bond is a modern innovator and man of perennial evolution. The Bond films have become closely associated with ingenious 007 gadgets that are used on his mission to deliver for the greater good; and have become a hallmark of the franchise’s popularity. 

Decade IV explores the Bond innovations and archives of the 1990s. The pack design features concept art for the Stealth Ship in Tomorrow Never Dies 1997 and a pre-title sequence storyboard from GoldenEye (1995).

The concept art in Tomorrow Never Dies illustrates the primary antagonist Elliot Carver’s Stealth Ship; this sketch is very close to the prop in the final production.

The goal behind the creation of this bourbon was to provide an affordable everyday option that showcases the distinct and unmistakable Smoke Wagon flavor. It features delicate sweet notes accompanied by a satisfying rye spice finish. To achieve this, barrels with a high rye mash bill were selected and stored on the top two floors of the warehouse without rotation. The higher temperatures on these floors during the summer led to increased expansion and interaction with the wood, resulting in a bourbon that is exceptionally rich and creamy for its age. The deliberate decision to avoid barrel rotation ensures a smooth and balanced flavor profile without any harsh tannin notes, while the high rye mash bill adds a delightful touch of spiciness and nuttiness to the finish.

Maker Notes - The Story of Our Smoke Wagon Bottles

The raised imagery of desert sage, the Nevada state flower, can be found on the Silver Dollar bottle as well as the amber Smoke Wagon bottles and in the label of the Straight Bourbon.
 
The Morgan silver dollar (replicated on the bottle's face) was minted in Carson city, the state capitol. It is the perfect symbol and name for our vodka due to its Nevada significance and the fact that silver dollar vodka is silver filtered.

Smoke Wagon? Does that mean it's smokey? Smoke Wagon is actually old west slang for the 1873 Colt single action army revolver or "the gun that won the west". Our logo stamped in wax consists of two crossed Smoke Wagons over the state of Nevada. Below it is our motto and a quote from Seneca, bibamus moriendum est. The literal translation is "drink, for we must die" but the meaning is more along the lines of, drink and enjoy today because we won't be around forever. We can only assume Seneca meant to drink responsibly, of course.

Our History

Golden Moon Distillery was founded by Stephen Gould and Dr. Karen Knight in early 2008, specifically to produce premium artisan whiskies, brandies, liquors, and liqueurs using the best available ingredients and made with the same type of artisan production processes utilized by distillers making premium products in the mid-to-late 1800s.

​The heart of Golden Moon Distillery is Mr. Gould’s world-class research library containing hundreds of rare books on distillation and related products and processes, some dating back to the 1500s. Most of the collection dates from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, though there are a few titles that are much older, or newer.

​Maison De La Vie currently has four antique stills at our pilot plant in Golden. Our stills date from the early to mid-1900’s.

​Golden Moon Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is distilled from 100% malted barley, grown in Colorado and the surrounding states. Our Whiskey is malted in Colorado, aged for a minimum of one year in new oak casks, and then finished in used oak casks. Golden Moon Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is a uniquely Colorado Whiskey.

A rich, complex, and elegant sipping tequila, Mayenda Tequila Blanco is carefully crafted at Casa San Nicolas. The pioneering process employed involves two additional steps of craftsmanship and attention to extract enhanced flavors from the agave plant.

Each small batch of Mayenda Tequila Blanco aims to capture the aromatic, caramelized notes of the agave that are typically lost during production.

The outcome is a distinctive sipping experience that showcases the essence of the agave, revealing unexplored flavors from its core.

From the transformation of liquid to the creation of the bottle, Mayenda is the result of a community of skilled artisans. It is a creation guided by the passion and precision of Maestro Tequilero Jesus Susunaga and his team in Arandas, Jalisco. Their singular goal is to produce tequila of the utmost quality.

For optimal enjoyment, Mayenda Tequila Blanco is best savored at room temperature as a straight pour, ideally in a Riedel Ouverture Glass.

To enhance the tasting experience with more richness and intensity, we suggest pairing it with both a raw and a roasted pineapple wedge, lightly dipped in pink Himalayan salt. Take a sip of Mayenda Tequila, followed by a small bite of the raw pineapple wedge, and repeat the process with the roasted pineapple. This allows you to discern the distinct flavors and aromas that each pineapple variation can accentuate in the tequila.
