Stark Spirits California Silver 151 Rum 151 Proof 750 mL

CALIFORNIA SILVER 151 RUM



Stark Spirits California Silver 151 Rum is setting the standard for California style overproof rum. Reminiscent of pacific island adventures, wild Tiki nights, conga drums, Polynesian fire dancers, fresh sea air, sailing, surfing, and California beaches, this Rum is smooth and delicious. Even at such high proof, this double distilled rum maintains a terrific natural aroma and clean rum flavor. Crafted from molasses and pure cane sugar, it’s a rum you’d only find made by American craft distiller on the Pacific coast.

Our California Silver 151 Rum can be enjoyed over ice or in your favorite super rum-powered cocktail. With a fire that is real, use it in a fondue, party punch, or  to present a dramatic flaming dessert.

Skyline Gin

SKYLINE GIN



Inspired by the sunset view from Stark Spirits distillery, this is an intriguing gin neat or in a cocktail.  Skyline Gin is a smooth, refreshing spirit for the end of the day. Skyline Gin is a contemporary gin made with 10 fully traditional ingredients.  It is the outcome that breaks from tradition.  Spicy, citrusy, sweetly floral in the aroma, the mouth is smooth and silky with lovely warmth that glides all the way through the finish.  Saying that the flavor on the palate is indescribable sounds suspicious, but really, no two people seem to taste the same thing.  Juniper is the largest amount of botanical in the recipe, yet there is just a hint of it on the palate after the finish. Individual botanical flavors speak to individual palates.  Some find the coriander, others fennel or lemon or orange or ginger…or a number of botanicals that aren’t even in the recipe.  Still, those who taste Skyline agree on one thing—it’s wonderful. It delights people who thought they’d never like gin, while enchanting dedicated gin aficionados.   Skyline Gin is an amazing gin!

Tasting Notes:

Nose        Spiced chai, black pepper, light juniper.
Palate      Hinting at cumin, gentle light fennel, coriander, citrus.
Finish      Lingering spice, juniper and a touch of heat.
