Strawberry Snaps

NOTHING WASTED – JUSE FRESH, REFINED FLAVOR FROM FARM TO GLASS

Our Michigan-grown Snaps series began as a passion project from Head Distiller, Karl Scripter. With a focus on sustainability and capturing every ounce of local flavor, Karl started experimenting with the pulp left behind after pressing fruit for our liqueurs and cocktails. Rather than let it go to waste, he used it as the foundation for a bold series of overproof spirits we call “Snaps”—our nod to the fruit-forward drams and fortified spirits found across Europe.

Each release begins with freshly pressed Michigan fruit, soaked in our high-proof winter wheat vodka, then redistilled to create a spirit that is bright, refined, and unmistakably expressive of place. Nothing wasted—just concentrated, elegant flavor from farm to glass.

Process & Techniques:

  • Base spirit is milled from whole grain and fermented on-site
  • Flavored with the pulp of locally grown and harvested strawberries, leftover from juicing for our spring and summer cocktail menus
  • Redistilled for a fresh, refined strawberry flavor
  • Proofed to 101 proof to retain flavor and body
  • Non-chill filtered
  • Not treated with any carbon or charcoal filtration techniques

Tasting Notes:

  • Rich, fruity berry notes on the nose.
  • Light, airy, unmistakably strawberry aromas and flavors on the palate.
  • A surprisingly rich and creamy mouth feel, considering the proof.
  • A warm, lingering finish of ripe fruit, jam, and homemade pie.
