Back in 1841 Burgundy France, The Cassis gospel quickly spread to the United States where distillers began growing their own Blackcurrants. However, U.S. production came to a halt in the beginning of the 20th century when it was discovered that the plant was a potential threat to White Pine. It wasn’t until 2003 that a New York botanist made Blackcurrants his mission, and the ban was overturned in New York state. Now, much of the fruit comes from that very same botanist; Greg Quinn.
C. Cassis is made by Rachael Petach in the Hudson Valley, just a few miles from where our blackcurrants are grown. An all natural 16% ABV sipper made by hand from lightly fermented NY blackcurrants, whole green cardamom, bay leaf, citrus rind, lemon verbena, wild honey and clean distilled spirits.
