On this episode, we continue our jaunt thru the LSM range of high quality spirits this time adding the Minz °9 spirit to the mix!

A total of nine botanical specialties, including wormwood and raspberry spirit, ensure a full body and fruitiness. In combination with herbal extracts as well as the in-house manufactory Vodka, a composition arises, which stands out from the classical Pfeffi. Enjoying the mint ° 9 at room temperature in small sips, unfolds its complex character, on ice it becomes fresh and clear. The mint °9 is not made with artificial or natural flavorings, but only with extracts and distillates, which are obtained directly from the corresponding herbs, spices and berries. Also, the color is pure chlorophyll from the peppermint and no artificial dye.
