Heritage Spirit of India “Feni” Enters US Market with Wirtz Beverage Distribution
05 Nov 2015 --- Chicago, — The Spirit of India “Feni” announced today a partnership with Wirtz Beverage Illinois that will introduce the award-winning craft distilled Feni to the United States for the first time.
“We are truly thrilled to partner with such a tremendous team at Wirtz Beverage,” said B.J. McCaslin, Co-Founder of Sprits of India Feni. “This fulfills a lifetime goal of ours to introduce Feni to the U.S.”
“Spirit of India Feni is a unique, game-changing spirit that will enhance the creativity of mixologists while expanding the palates of new customers and consumers alike,” said Jason Griffin, Business Development Manager of WirtzCraft Spirits.
Made from handpicked Cashew Fruit, Feni can only be produced in Goa, India three months out of the year due to an extreme perishable window of only four hours once harvested. Handcrafted in small batches Feni has smooth entry and clean finish with hints of pineapple, citrus and cashew apple. Feni is to India just as Tequila is to Mexico and Champagne is to France.
In July 2015, Feni received a 94 rating by Taste Panel Magazine, 88 Point by Wine Enthusiast, and a Silver medal at the Annual International SIP Awards. Feni can be purchased at Chicagoland Binnys, Marianos, and Whole Foods Markets
