The traditional spirit of Morocco is now being produced in Yonkers! Distilled from figs with herbs added, this eau-de-vie was produced and sold primarily by the Jewish population of Morocco, but became a staple in Moroccan culinary cultrure. The revival of the traditional spirit has been a century long journey for the Nahmias from their home of Taznakht, Morocco to their little distillery in Yonkers. Master Distiller David Nahmias' family had distilled this spirit in his home town for generations, but commercial production within Morocco has ceased or gone under ground. The Mahia is made only from the finest ingredients including organic figs and herbs (anise). A truly special and traditional spirit.
Awarded 92 points by The Tasting Panel Magazine, our Legs Diamond Rye Whiskey starts with rye grown on locally sustainable farms. The grain is then mashed, fermented and carefully distilled, resulting in a white whiskey that is incredibly smooth with a touch of sweetness. Legs Diamond was a famous bootlegger during prohibition and operated in and around New York City. He was known for his flamboyant lifestyle, loyalty, being a good dancer and being able to escape his enemies.
