Artisanal Group

2 ~ WINTER/SPRING 2016 2 ~ WINTER/SPRING 2016 Welcome to the WINTER/SPRING 2016 Issue of the Artisanal Group! We at the Artisanal Group are pleased to share with you our rig- orously curated selection of the best American and internation- al craft spirits. Our focus is to offer a wide array of the spirits, liqueurs and bitters called for in classic cocktails, as well as spot- lighting new and locally produced California craft brands. With so many new products entering the market, the Artisanal Group has done the legwork to ensure that we fill our portfolio with the high- est concentration of legitimate, craft-driven producers. Transparency during production—from sourcing of grain through fermentation, and from distillation method to barrel aging—is the most important aspect of how we choose our supplier partners. Our brands have a real story, made by real people who pass along their passion for doing things the right way through their craft, which you can then share with your customers and guests. Through the Artisanal Group Catalog, we are excited to serve as your guide to unique new spirits and indispensable classics. It is our mission to customize service and share the most accurate information about the products that best fit each individual bar, restaurant and retailer. We pride ourselves on incorporating outside-the-box ideas that will allow you to show off your Arti- sanal Group collection. Thank you so much for your continued support. Sincerely, The Artisanal Group California Team FI FT H T H T E D I TI TI T O N
