I'm sorry that I don't have this kind of information. My recommendation for you is to check with Dekuyper (http://www.dekuyperusa.com/dkweb/contactus.aspx) and see if they can tell you if they have distributors in Portugal. Hi Grace!

Would you know who has the sour apple and can ship it for me! Or, even better know a store in Portugal that has it and can ship it direct to them? I would really appreciate your attention...thank you so much! Grace Good Morning, I would be intested in sending a case of Pucker sour apple DeKuyper to Portugal to a friend.

We make Hangar One Vodka - it's one of our brands. And the Aqua Perfecta eaux-de-vie, and liqueurs. And St. George Single Malt Whiskey. We also make the new Qi Tea Liqueur for Qi Spirits. And, yes, everything is available for tasting at our distillery in Alameda. The Ukiah address is Craft Distillers, the marketing and distribution company which handles our products. Feel free to write to me at info@stgeorgespirits.com if you have any questions. I’m the Office Manager at St. George Spirits. We make Hangar One Vodka - it’s one of our brands.

The mailing address, however, is Ukiah which is perhaps where their business offices are located. <br /> <br /> ~ B Hi Marc!

Forgot to mention - that idea that gin is a summer drink is exactly what Michael Hebberoy is working against. That's why he brewing for different seasons and highlighting different flavors. His winter gin is supposed to be flavored with black tea, dried cranberries and carob root.<br /> ~ B Oops!

If you go to http://www.liq.wa.gov/services/brandsearch.asp you can enter a product type or name and do a search to see which, if any, stores carry the product. And you'll soon see that there are a couple stores that seem to carry the more unusual items. <br /> <br /> Searching for "Junipero" I got three hits: South Seattle, which often has the things I'm looking for; one of the Bellevue stores; and 6th and Lenora, which doesn't do you and I any good as it's to the trade only. <br /> <br /> There was also another interesting note - the supplier is currently out of stock! So if you want one of these you'd better get going! It looks like there are only about 10 bottles available for consumers at the moment!<br /> <br /> And Oregon's system is pretty much the same as Washington's. Only state run stores for hard liquor sales. <br /> <br /> ~ B Hi Larry!

I've been meaning to try one, but I really, really need to be in the mood for gin, which doesn't usually happen until summer.<br /> <br /> Does Oregon have private liquor stores? If not, I suspect you'd need to go to California or mail order to get these by the bottle. I’ve seen the Anchor Steam gins in bars, but not in our lovely soviet-style WA state liquor stores.

The Old Portero, mentioned above, is actually an Anchor Steam product, too. <br /> <br /> Check out the article since there are descriptions for all the listed varieties - this one sounded particularly good to me: "Pear... a hint of citrus... vanilla ... a little spice... caramel..." That was the Jepson Brandy! Sounds yummy! <br /> <br /> ~ B Hi Cybele!
