Clove Smoker

This earthy concoction is perfect for sipping near the fire. Allspice dram, an allspice liqueur, gives the Clove Smoker its distinct flavor–it captures the holidays without being trite. Brown combines the allspice dram with Batavia arrack, a Southeast Asian spirit, and aperitif wines Cocchi Americano and Bonal Gentiane- Quina.
