Greece the wheels, I dare you.
DS Concepts, named for Founder/Director, Demetre Steinhauer, has a very clear mission. Can you guess what it is? “To bring me joy?”, you venture, and you would be 100% correct! Although, that joy is a clear byproduct of their drive to share the true essence of traditional Greek craft spirits with you (and the world). Skinos, a Mastiha Spirit from the island of Chios in the Aegean Sea. Just when you thought drinking distilled tree sap wasn’t cool…you discover how wrong you are! Plus, they have a Skinos Dark Liqueur, which is straight decadent, savory, explosively delicious. Last in line, but never least, we have Ottos Athens Vermouth, a modern revival of a historic 1850s Greek recipe. Blended in the heart of Athens by the team behind The Clumsies bar (voted as a top 50 best bar in the world), it uses a high-quality Greek red wine base infused with rose petals, wormwood, citrus, olive leaves, and native herbs like oregano (uh, not just oregano, GREEK oregano). This vermouth is impossible to dislike and even harder to put down. Don’t wait to discover the joy for yourself!
