Colorado’s Hoot + Howl Spirits invites your palate on a walk through a mountain meadow with its new Saint Alpin Liqueur. As Hoot + Howl’s unique take on an alpine herbal liqueur, Saint Alpin Liqueur is inspired by the great European traditions of Chartreuse, génépi, and absinthe—spirits that have delighted the senses since the Middle Ages. Saint Alpin is now available at select retailers across Colorado.

Saint Alpin is crafted with 18 carefully macerated botanicals, including Grande wormwood, hyssop, green anise, angelica, and lemon balm. The spirit unfolds with aromas of wildflowers, citrus blossoms, and subtle pepper; fresh flavors of green herbs, mint, citrus peel, fennel, and anise; and ends with a warm, herbaceous crescendo. The original inspiration for this spirit was the “elixir of long life” given to monks in 1605 and refined by generations of distillers.

“Recipes for the great European green herbal liqueurs are famously shrouded in mystery. We wanted to create something rooted in Colorado’s high-altitude terroir while offering a modern expression of the herbal liqueur tradition,” said Hoot + Howl founder Callan Deline.

Double distilled, naturally colored with hyssop and petite wormwood, and rested for an extended period, Saint Alpin delivers unmatched natural clarity, depth, and smoothness. Saint Alpin offers a distinctive substitution for Chartreuse in any cocktail, with a Hoot + Howl twist that’s rooted in Colorado’s high-altitude terroir.

Go green with vibrant, complex, and naturally green Saint Alpin Herbal Liqueur today. Bottles of Hoot + Howl’s historically inspired lineup of spirits are available at select retailers across Colorado.

Based in Golden, Hoot + Howl Spirits reimagines historical spirits and traditional recipes with exceptional ingredients, thoughtful production practices, and flavors designed to elicit spontaneous outbursts of joy. Hoot + Howl’s award-winning spirits are available across Colorado.
