Description

Description

Mithradates is a vino amaro inspired by Mithridatum. The creation of the original recipe is attributed to Mithradates VI, ruler of Pontus in the 1st century BCE and was regarded as one of the most complex and well-known herbal elixirs for centuries. It is made with a red wine from the Finger Lakers region of upstate New York using hybrid grapes that are fermented naturally with indigenous yeast and infused with over 32 botanicals. With notes of figs, cardamom, cedar, and mace, this amaro can be enjoyed neat or on ice.

Forthave Spirits

The distillery was founded by two friends: painter Aaron Sing Fox and writer/producer Daniel de la Nuez. They use only plant-based ingredients in their spirits. Their library of botanicals includes over 200 different types of herbs - roots and barks, leaves and flowers, and fruits and seeds - and from that collection, their spirits are born. They macerate in stainless steel tanks, use no artificial filtering agents or artificial colors, and the only sweeteners used are raw: organic turbinado sugar or raw honey from Upstate New York. Almost all the of the ingredients are USDA organically certified- the few that aren’t, have either been grown by small farmers without certification or wild foraged.
