I've been mentioning Art in the Age on this blog for a while. They make and sell the most peculiar and intriguing spirits. We stopped in this weekend and the experience far surpassed anything that I was hoping for... the place is amazing.
Shelves loaded with bitters of every kind. Rows and rows of crafted liqueurs and spirits. Beautiful labels with words like Damson Plum, Green Crab, Sierra Fig, and Bloody Butcher.
Their cocktails were small works of art, and the sampling flights revealed that these unique offerings were the real deal.
I couldn't wait to try House of Tamworth's Crab Trapper. I needed this peculiar thing to taste of the sea. To be a summer whiskey. Something you might take to a beach weekend. A drink only sipped during the hottest days of the year.
Crab Trapper turned out to be an intensely smooth whiskey that finishes with the subtle briny flavor of sweet crab. It's the most delightful oddity.
Definitely going to visit again soon.
