Tippleman's Syrups

Tippleman's

Charleston, South Carolina

Created by bartenders for bartenders, Tippleman's is a series of "Not Quite Simple Syrups" that help bartenders easily introduce more complex flavor characteristics into cocktails and promote creativity behind the bar. Made in small batches, the finest quality ingredients are sourced and thoughtful techniques are applied to make a syrup that is complex in flavor, yet easy to use.

Tipplemans Burn Sugar Syrup...$10.99 / 500mlA Bitter, Sweet and Aromatic Syrup of Kettle Cooked Sugar.  We slowly kettle cook unrefined cane sugar, high in molasses content and full of flavor, until it is very dark and aromatic. Taking the sugar past its caramelization stage gives the syrup tart, bittersweet complexity with notes of sour cherry, caramel, brittle and toast.

Yields about 17 cocktails
INGREDIENTS:  Organic Cane Sugar, Water
BARTENDER NOTES:  Using Burnt Sugar is a great way to add depth and bittersweet complexity to your cocktails. We suggest using it when mixing with aged spirits, and it can also add an exciting foil to tropical or sour cocktails.
Other Tips & Tricks: Use in iced coffee, dripped over ice cream, or as a molasses substitution in recipes.

Tippleman's Falernum Syrup....$13.99 / 500ml

An Especially Spiced Syrup with Bold Island Spices, Ginger and Lime
We’ve added a punch to this classic bar syrup by freshly milling lots of whole spices like nutmeg, clove and allspice, hand peeling the skins of limes and saturating it all in the finest cane sugar we could find. Fresh ginger juice is added to make a robust syrup with notes of vanilla, lime leaf and clove.
Yields about 17 cocktails
INGREDIENTS:  Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Lime Zest, Ginger Juice, Allspice, Nutmeg, Cloves, Citric Acid
BARTENDER NOTES:  An obvious addition to rum based tiki drinks, but works equally as well with aged spirits to make fall spiced cocktails. Making falernum is a labor of love, from milling fresh whole spices to peeling and grinding fresh citrus peel and juicing ginger. We happen to love making it, so we hope you love mixing it in your cocktails to add unique tropical spice character.

Tippleman's Ginger Honey Syrup...$15.99 / 500mlAn Intriguingly Spicy Syrup Made From Fresh Ginger and Wildflower Honey.  We blend wildflower honey with fresh ginger juice, then add a hint of cayenne pepper to accentuate the ginger’s picante characteristic. The end product is a robust, pourable syrup with bright notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and ginger blossom.

Yields about 17 cocktails
INGREDIENTS: Organic Wildflower Honey, Water, Ginger Juice, Citric Acid, Cayenne Pepper
BARTENDER NOTES:  We find honey to be a great sweetener for scotch, mezcal and tequila drinks. Ginger adds a picante characteristic that accentuates complexity and lengthens the finish.

Tippleman's Lemon Oleo Saccharum...$16.99 / 500ml
This syrup requires 126 hours per batch to make, but lends bright citrus notes to your cocktail without adding citrus juice or acidity.

Sfumato Amaro

Sfumato Amaro Rabarboro...$19.99 / 750ml
The term Sfumato derives from the Italain word for smoke - "fumo". It is traditionally associated with a style of Reniassance painting characterized by subtle transitions between areas of dark and light. This speaks directly to this amaor's profile, which marries a dark smokiness with bitter woodsiness from apline herbs and special Rabarbaro (rhubarb) variety that grows in Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto. The production of a Rabarbaro liqueur by the amari and aperitivi producer Cappelletti dates back almost a century. Enjoy with tonic, grapefruit soda, or whiskey.

 In stock at Rock Hill and Forsyth

16-oz Nitrogen-Charged Cans

Breckenridge NITRO Vanilla Porter "NVP"...$9.49 / 4pk 16 oz cans

The 16-oz can presents the ability to experience silky, smooth nitrogen-charged beer outside of the pub, even taking that experience to the great outdoors. This can promotes “nitro on the go,” for although a glass displays the cascading effects of the nitrogen head, with Breckenridge’s can design the glass is optional. 

“These beers are dangerously drinkable,” adds Usry.“Nitro beers offer a different palate experience. Nitro Vanilla Porter has mellow, delicate vanilla flavor with a rich, porter base.  The small, uniform bubbles produced by nitrogen also create a longer-lasting head. “There’s just something mesmerizing about watching a good nitrogen pour.You can drink this beer with your eyes,” concludes Usry.

Ao Japanaese Rice Vodka

Ao Rice Vodka....$44.99
Ao Vodka is distilled in Japan from 100% Japanese rice.
Ao is the Japanese word for blue, but Ao is also used to poetically describe many shades of green in nature and traditional culture.  Thus, landscapes of paddy fields where Japanese rice is grown are often termed Ao.


The Creation of Ao Vodka begins in the Osumi peninsula, on Kyushu island, near the active volcano Sakurajima.  This is the southernmost part of Japan’s four main islands, where the traditional art of distilling has been deeply rooted for centuries, and where water is renowned for its volcanic origin.

Rice is the  Core of our Spirit. To retain its distinctive character, we use a proprietary distillation method based on small pot stills. We then blend in pristine water. And to achieve perfect crystalline clarity, we use a bamboo based filtration process.

Ao is made from 100% rice, it is gluten-free.

FW Bretta Rose

BRC Emails sent on this one based on Beer Only.

Thanks very much.  

We will be tasting this one at our Beer Fest on May 21

Firestone Walker Bretta Rose....$11.99 / 375ml
Thirty miles north of Barrelworks lies the fertile Santa Maria Valley. Its warm days and cool marine layer-fed evenings allow for a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to be grown in its rich soil. One of Santa Maria’s crown jewels is locally grown raspberries. We jumped at the opportunity to ferment fresh local raspberries with one of our Barrelworks creations. Behold Bretta Rosé! A low-alcohol Berliner Weisse style ale, acidified and matured in French oak puncheons for 6 months, is the foundation for this gem. Add 1000 lbs. of fresh raspberries, allow a secondary wild fermentation for 4 more months and voila (!), we have a crisp effervescent concoction, bursting with raspberry perfume and flavor, a rosé color, bracing acidity, and a clean and refreshing finish.

Avery Samaels

2016 just arrived

Rated 95/100 RateBeer
Avery Samaels Oak Aged Ale Batch #11 2015....$7.99 / 12oz
Avery Samaels Oak Aged Ale Batch #12 2016....$7.99 / 12oz
14.2% ABV
Beer Style: Oak Aged English Strong
Samaels is a super-caramelly, oak-aged English-style strong ale. Perhaps the least hoppy (sacrilege here at Avery!) beer we’ve brewed, to accentuate the malt. The oak is very apparent in this rich and high gravity ale, adding additional depth and complexity with a woody and cask-like nose and a pronounced vanilla flavor on the palate. With the addition of a more roasted malt in 2007, Samaels now delivers subtle bitterness to add balance to the natural sweetness. Cellarable for 10+ years.
Samaels is the second installment of “The Demons of Ale” series.

Food pairing: The toffee, vanilla and caramel flavors in Samaels are great with crème brulee, sticky bread pudding or any dessert dish featuring the flavors of burnt or caramelized sugar.

Garry Farrell RRV Pinot scores 95 points

2013 Garry Farrell RRV Pinot Noir...$37.99

Mix/Match case price $34.19This might be one of the best values on the market, given the quality. Equal parts pretty and funky, it 's a tightly wound, savory, fruity wine that's elegant and compelling. The tannins and oak are lightly imprinted around strawberry-rhubarb and fresh-cut rose, and the texture seductively silky.

2014 Ridge Wines

We have been hearing about the greatness of 2014 Zinfandels' for a while, the 2014's from Ridge do not disappoint. We even have some of the Ridge Estate Chardonnay as well.


2014 Ridge Estate Chardonnay Monte Bello Vineyard...$46.99
Mix/match cases price...$42.30
Starts assertively oaky, with cedar and matchstick notes, but transitions into a more compelling elixir, offering a rich mix of pear, melon, honeydew and spice flavors as the oak recedes and lets the fruit come forth
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator


2014 Ridge Geyserville Alexander Valley Red...$39.99
Mix/match cases price...$35.99
The 2014 Zinfandel Geyserville appears to be especially marked by the Carignane at this stage, especially in the lifted, super-expressive aromatics. Silky tannins balance the gravitas of the 100+ year-old Zinfandel in a focused, nuanced Geyserville built on raciness. Bright red cherry, plum and floral notes punctuate the finish. The blend is 60% Zinfandel, 22% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah, 2% Alicante Bouschet and 2% Mataro (Mourvèdre).
Rated 91-94/100 Antonio Galloni Vinous Media


2014 Ridge East Bench Zinfandel Dry Creek...$29.99
Mix/match cases price...$26.99
Nose of raspberry jam, pepper, violets. Full bodied and rich on the palate with red berry fruit and supple tannins. Firm acidity and mineral notes add to the long, elegant finish.
Fifteen years ago, Ridge planted this hilltop to zinfandel; as the vines matured, flavors intensified. Spring rain reduced this year’s crop, and a warm August brought early harvest. Smaller berries and lower yields meant concentration; for the first time all seven parcels were equally outstanding, and therefore included. This robust but approachable zinfandel is enjoyable now, or over the next six to seven years.



2014 Ridge Paso Robles Zinfandel Benito Dusi Ranch...$31.99
Mix/match cases price...$28.79
Deep ruby. Black cherry, stewed plum, exotic barrel spice. Ripe bramble on entry, firm acid, gravelly mineral, medium-full body, round tannins, integrated oak finish.
Benito Dusi’s Ranch is the only vineyard in the Central Coast Viticultural Area from which we source grapes. Our Monte Bello vineyards are in the Santa Cruz Mountains Viticultural Area which is not a part of the Central Coast. The 1967 vintage was our first wine from the Dusi Ranch. It was planted to zinfandel in 1922 which is unusual because Prohibition had started two years earlier. Purchased by Sylvester and Catarina Dusi in 1924, the property has been farmed since the 1940s by their son Benito, the owner.
