Veda Mushroom Liqueur

Veda Mushroom Liqueur shines in a variety of cocktails, from whiskey-based concoctions to refreshing spritzes, but it's also delightful sipped neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complex flavors; it's particularly well-suited for cooler autumn evenings and pairs beautifully with savory dishes like mushroom risotto or grilled meats.

Nose: Subtle earthiness reminiscent of forest floor after rain. Hints of dried shiitake and woody herbs like rosemary and thyme. Faint sweetness of honey and maple syrup. Herbal notes of gentian and horehound add complexity.

Palate: Rich and savory with a silky texture. Umami flavors of mushroom broth balanced by gentle sweetness. Herbal notes of bay leaf and marshmallow root. Mild bitterness from gentian. Maple and honey provide depth without overwhelming sweetness.

Finish: Long and satisfying. Lingering savory notes reminiscent of miso soup. Subtle warmth with hints of rosemary and thyme. Clean, slightly drying finish with a touch of gentian bitterness. Leaves a pleasant umami afterglow.

Veda Mushroom Liqueur is crafted by infusing shiitake mushrooms and a blend of botanicals in a base spirit made from upcycled starches, then sweetened with New York honey and maple syrup. This unique production process not only creates a complex flavor profile but also supports sustainability by utilizing ingredients that might otherwise go to waste.

• Veda Mushroom Liqueur's base is made from starches that would normally be composted, making it not only delicious but also eco-friendly. This innovative approach reduces food waste while creating a unique spirit.
• The shiitake mushrooms used in Veda create a natural umami flavor without any added MSG. This gives cocktails made with Veda a subtle savory quality that's hard to replicate with other ingredients.
• Despite its rich, earthy flavor profile, Veda Mushroom Liqueur contains no artificial colors. Its amber hue comes entirely from the natural ingredients used in its production, including locally sourced New York honey and maple syrup.
