Prime Spirits

STAGG
George T. Stagg built the most dominant American distillery of the 19th century, during a time known as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Uncut and unfiltered, this robust bourbon whiskey ages for nearly a decade and boasts the bold character that is reminiscent of the man himself. Stagg, formally known as Stagg JR., offers rich, sweet, chocolate and brown sugar flavors that create a perfect balance with the bold rye spiciness. The boundless finish lingers with hints of cherries,
cloves and smokiness.

The Single Barrel #007, expertly selected by the Fire & Vine team, was distilled on November 25th, 2013.

ANGEL’S ENVY
Rooted in 200 years of bourbon heritage and inspired by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s lifetime spent crafting fine spirits, Angel’s Envy is a masterpiece. The 5% of spirit lost each year during barrel aging is called the “Angel’s Share,” what’s left behind after we’re done is truly worthy of envy. After tasting our finished whiskey, Lincoln joked that we’d finally gotten a better deal than the angels. And so Angel’s Envy was born. Every batch is finished in specially selected, ruby port wine casks for up to six months, imbuing the bourbon with notes of caramelized fruit, chocolate, and a deep, smoky undertone. This offering was individually selected by our team, barrel number 1952, and bottled at 110 proof.

This bottling of Angel’s Envy Single Barrel is exclusive to Fire & Vine Hospitality restaurants, and the very first in Washington State.
