This holiday season is off to a very merry start here at Mel and Rose as we are once again featured in O, The Oprah Magazine as the place to find this year’s spirit choice for Oprah’s Favorite Things. This is the fourth year in a row that the magazine has directed their fans to Mel and Rose to find Oprah’s favorite spirits.

Oprah turned her attention to American made vodka this year and Square One Organic Sprits, a boutique organic spirits maker, known for its sophisticated, multi-botanical approach to vodka based spirits, is an Oprah favorite. Made from 100% organic American rye, Oprah says: “…this is the vodka I use when mixing cocktails at home.”

And she couldn’t pick just one from the Square One portfolio, she loved them all. That’s why she asked Square One to create this beautiful gift box with all five Square One Organic Spirits along with delicious culinary-inspired cocktail recipes. It’s a perfect gift for the foodie or aspiring mixologist in your life. This entire package, decorated with whimsical illustrations of the botanicals that infuse the spirits, has a personal touch for corporate gift-giving as well. We have the entire Square One Organic Spirits Collection gift pack, or you can pick a few of your favorites and purchase the bottles individually.

Double Cross Vodka

Dr. Jan Krak is the Master Distiller for Double Cross Vodka and he considers it his “crowning achievement”.  This distinct creation, as dramatic as the mountains of Slovakia from whence it comes, is distilled with pure water from a 200 foot deep aquifer and fine winter wheat. Seven times distilled and seven times filtered the purity and clean taste are unrivaled. The sleek, contemporary bottle is award winning and inscribed with Slovakian poetry.  Imagine how having it engraved with you and your partner’s name and “Our First Christmas” will still his or her heart.

Glenlivet Scotch

The 18 year old Glenlivet Scotch Whiskey is the result of aging in several different types of casks.  Both American and European oak are used at the Master Distiller’s discretion and the result is unique and flavorful.  The 21 year old Scotch produced by Glenlivet is distinct and each batch is special because each cask is hand selected.  This is truly a whiskey that speaks of class and is truly debonnaire. Giving Glenlivet as engraved business gifts will make sure that you are known as a gentleman’s gentleman.
