Suitcase Spirits was created by our founder, Amanda, while she was traveling. She lived out of her suitcase for several years and had the amazing opportunity to spend extended time in various cities around the world. Spending several months in each location gave her the chance to learn and get to know a place and its people.
One common thread everywhere she went – she shared a drink with locals and learned about their communities and history through their eyes. Discussing cooking in Barcelona with a group of grandmothers over a Vermut. Understanding French pride at a small craft brewery outside Paris. Discovering the wonders of Gin and the rich history of distilling in Johannesburg. Laughing at a street café in Istanbul over Raki with a group of older gentlemen sharing their views on the economy. All of these experiences were inspirational and memorable, and gave Amanda a sense of a city – the people, the food, and the drinks.
Suitcase Spirits’ purpose is to create spirits that capture the flavors and feelings of these great cities around the world. They are love letters to the cities that inspired them.
Suitcase Spirits是由我們的創始人阿曼達在旅行時創建的。她帶著旅行箱生活了好幾年,並有機會在世界各地的不同城市度過了很長時間。在每個地方呆上幾個月讓她有機會了解和了解一個地方和那裡的人。
她走到哪裡都有一個共同的線索——她和當地人一起喝一杯,通過他們的眼睛了解他們的社區和歷史。在巴塞羅那和一群祖母在佛蒙特州討論烹飪。在巴黎郊外一家小型手工釀酒廠了解法國人的驕傲。在約翰內斯堡發現杜松子琴酒的奇蹟和豐富的釀酒歷史。在伊斯坦布爾的街道café上,一群年長的紳士在分享他們對經濟的看法。所有這些經歷都是鼓舞人心、令人難忘的,給了阿曼達一種城市的感覺——人、食物和飲料。
Suitcase Spirits的目的是以捕捉世界各地城市的口味和感覺去創造出不同的烈酒。它們是寫給啟發他們城市的情書。
