It's Finally Here!
We first heard about this stuff about two years ago when it appeared on the coasts in fancy restaurants and bars - but sadly, it takes a little longer for cool stuff to make it to St. Louis...
The long wait is over, though, and St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur is available at Lukas Liquor Superstore!
St. Germain has a lovely floral aroma and a light sweetness similer to lychee fruit. Try it chilled straight or in one of the many fun cocktails on their website! |

Sazerac Is Back!
Yet another Gem from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Literally EVERYTHING that comes out of this distillery is an instant hit...
-Buffalo Trace has been our Best-Selling Bourbon since we got our hands on some in 2005
-All Pappy Van Winkle and Old Rip Van Winkle Special releases sell out within two weeks after they hit our shelves
-The enitre line boutique line, which includes George T. Stagg, Elmer T. Lee, Eagle Rare Antique 17 year, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye and Sazerac Rye Antique 18 year sell for about $50.00 a bottle, yet they rarely last 2 weeks on our shelves
and...
-Sazerac Rye (shown above) - (which is not widely available outside of larger markets) is so sought-after in St. Louis, it disappears virtually overnight.
If I were in charge of supplying St. Louis with Buffalo Trace Brands, I'd probably want to buy more and more so it didn't all sell out in two weeks. Kinda makes you wonder why we are only allowed bi-annual releases of this stuff...
Clearly, we St. Louisans love great whiskey. If you know someone looking for a fantastic bottle of Rye at a great price, Lukas has stock of Sazerac 6 year old Rye and Thomas H Handy Sazerac Rye SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED!
A few words about Thomas H. Handy Sazerac uncut and unfiltered Straight Rye Whiskey (from the Buffalo Trace Tech Sheet)
-Awarded the "Double Gold Medal" at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
-Composed of 22 hand-picked barrels aged at least 6 years and 5 months
-Large Grain: Minnesote Rye, Small Grain: Kentucky Corn; Distillers Grade #1 and #2, Finish Grain: North Dakota Malted Barley
-Distilled Spring 2002 (@125°), released Fall 2008(@ 127.5°)
-30.08% of the original whiskey lost to evaporation ("Angel's Share")
-(This is my favorite part) Tasting comment: "Christmas Cake"
