Vidisha’s Masala is singular, a one-of-one product with a flavor like nothing you ever tasted. Vidishas is Inspired by the flavors of Indian cuisine and is based on the family Masala of Vidisha Patel, a friend of our distiller. Vidisha’s is an act in 3 parts. On the nose Vidisha’s presents cumin with warming spices in the background. On the tongue the warming spices of cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves comes to the fore. On the finish the flavor gives way to the black pepper which lingers pleasantly as a reminder of what you just experienced. In cocktails Vidisha’s adds a distinct spice note. With its warm flavor profile, the natural application for Vidisha’s is in Fall and Winter cocktails. But make a Sari, Not Sorry and you will see that Vidisha’s is equally at home in refreshing Spring and Summer cocktails by adding a hint of sophistication.
