Description

The distillery’s new release, Mithradates IV, follows the historical track it began exploring with the Marseilles amaro, which is based on a medieval recipe. The vino amaro (i.e., wine-based amaro) is, according to co-owner Daniel de la Nuez, “a complex and delicious digestivo” inspired by Mithradates IV, the ruler of Anatolia circa 100 BC. “He developed ‘Mithradate,’ a legendary recipe that was one of the most sought-after herbal remedies for centuries afterward,” explains de la Nuez. The release comes this fall after years of tweaking the recipe in the Brooklyn distillery.
