Sub Rosa Spirits launches Tarragon and Saffron Vodkas

-
Sub Rosa Spirits is a micro-distillery just southwest of Portland, OR that is now launching two of the more interesting vodka infusions that I've seen. One is Tarragon and the other is Saffron.

Vodka infusions are becoming the most interesting part of the vodka world though I've only seen a few that actually do it really well so it'll be interesting to see how these come out. I have seen more success with vodka blends, like Wasabe Vodka which is a blend of vodka and sake.

The Sub Rosa infusions are launching in Oregon this summer and the rest of the world throughout 2008.

From the source:

Tarragon vodka: Delightfully herbal and refreshing. This vodka is made from fresh French tarragon, grown in Oregon with a whisper of fennel and a hint of mint. The pale green color is all natural and derived from the herbal infusion. Great as a martini, but also as a 'float' over sparkling wine or a couple of ounces in a 'French 75'.

Saffron vodka: This bold infusion is a complex blend of 8 spices combined into a unique distillate. Almost curry like, but not really. Toasted cumin on the nose with a sweet, lemony coriander on the mid-palate. This infusion uses a generous amount of saffron [the most expensive spice in the
world]that gives it a warm golden glow. Serve over ice or with a little mango juice and a splash of lime.

Available in Oregon and Washington in September. TTB delayed label approval a month. May well be into Northern California by October.

New Absinthe's on the market

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.
