Made in the Agros distillery from Damascus rose petals macerated in grape spirit for six months. Pink, fragrant, and deceptively easy to drink. Serve over ice as an aperitif, mix with tonic for a floral spritz, or pour a measure over vanilla ice cream. The bottle itself — hand-labelled with pressed petals — makes it a gift worth giving.
Agros, Cyprus
The village of Agros has been distilling Damascus roses since the nineteenth century. The petals are collected at dawn when their oil content peaks, then steam-distilled within hours. One litre of rose water requires roughly four thousand petals — which explains both the price and the extraordinary potency.
