Also on display for you to taste is Port Charlotte Islay Single Malts that have such an intense flavor they have been described as “Melt your face off good.” Learn about Rhum JM from Martinique and Suprema Grappa from Italy. From France, try the G’Vine Gin distilled from grapes, the line of Armagnac Castarde and Citadelle Gin. Cognac Ferrand, “An Independent Producer of Fine Spirits” will be showcasing their exceptional line of Cognac. The tropical paradise of St. Lucia brings us the award winning Castries Peanut Cream, a rum based cream liquor that is as tasty as it is unique.
Brands are being added all the time; you may want to investigate the website to see the full line-up. Tickets have sold out the last two years of the Indy Spirits Expo. This year the Expo is at a much larger venue, sell-out risk is lower, but since the tickets are very reasonably priced, they will go fast.
