ENYE enhances its boutique portfolio with a collection of unique Spanish spirits

The ENYE Group is pleased to announce a new line of Spanish spirits, initially available in Illinois, in a move to broaden its base of high quality boutique Spanish wines. ENYE is currently seeking distributors for these products in all US states.

ENYE has partnered with Destilerias Manuel Acha, a family-owned distillery based in Amurrio (Alava), Spain, to bring these spirits to the US marketplace. Destilerias Manuel Acha has been in business since 1831, and is now operated by Gabriel Acha, the 7th generation family member now running the business. All ingredients used to make Acha's line of distilled spirits is natural, with no artificial flavorings or ingredients added.

Why bring these spirits to the US? In Spain, there is no such thing as a short and quick bite to eat. Dinners are long, social events capped off by the “sobremesa”, or after dinner conversation and a distilled spirit digestif. In more traditional Spanish restaurants, icy freezer-chilled bottles of Pacharán (a liqueur made of Anis Cream and Sloeberries) and Orujo (Spanish version of Grappa) are left on the table after dinner for guests to enjoy as they please. ENYE is pleased to be one of the only wholesalers in the country to bring these products to the United States, in our quest to find “The Essence of Spain”.

The ACHA spirits that are now an integral part of ENYE's all-Spanish portfolio include:

ATXA Black Label Pacharán (25% alc/vol) - 1L format
A typical after dinner digestif in Spain, served cold over ice. Macerated with sloeberries and anis cream.

Fonte do Miño Orujo de Aguardiente (40% alc/vol) - 750ml format
Spanish version of white grappa, made from distilled grain alcohol and grape pomace.

Fonte do Miño Orujo de Hierbas (30% alc/vol) - 750ml format
Orujo distilled with 15 different types of herbs, such as thyme, sage, basil, rosemary, etc.

Fonte do Miño Orujo de Cafe (30% alc/vol) - 750ml format
Orujo distilled with natural coffee beans.

WSK - Caramel flavored Whiskey (25% alc/vol) - 750ml format
One of Acha's biggest sellers in Spain. Complex aromas of sweet caramel and whiskey has significant potential both behind the bar and in the kitchen as a key ingredient in dessert.
