DEGROFF™ SPIRITS

Two World-class Spirits for cocktail enthusiasts

In what began as a quest to create artisanal spirits with their own botanical identity and real craft cocktail potential, the King of Cocktails, Dale DeGroff, and renowned absinthe expert, T.A. (Ted Breaux), forged a collaboration in partnership with Clear Creek Distillery to create an Italian-style Bitter Aperitivo and New World Amaro. DeGroff Bitter Aperitivo and New World Amaro are handcrafted entirely from natural botanical ingredients including fruits, roots, flowers and leaves. They are finished with glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest mountain peak.

DeGroff Bitter Aperitivo

DeGroff crafts this signature Italian-style Bitter Aperitivo to deliver excellence in cocktails. The masterful balance of flavors give DeGroff Bitter Aperitivo a bold, yet sultry profile that provides bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts with an exciting new option for classic cocktail mixology.

It excels in the classic Negroni or Americano, as a Spritz with soda and Prosecco, or wherever an Italian-style Bitter Aperitivo is called for.

Available in 700ml
25% ABV / 50 Proof

DeGroff New World Amaro

Drawing from a depth of experience, DeGroff brings forth a West Indies-inspired Amaro accented with Caribbean spices. DeGroff Amaro delivers a rich, bittersweet complexity found in the finest traditional Italian spirits, but with a New World botanical twist for versatility in cocktail mixology.

Add richness to the classic whiskey Manhattan with the Midnight Manhattan, spice up a Rum Punch or a Mai Tai and bring the early 19th century Sherry Flip into the new Millennium.
