XANTÉ: IMPORTED UNIMAGINABLE PLEASURE

XANTÉ: IMPORTED UNIMAGINABLE PLEASURE

Whom You Know is always on the watch for the best of it all, including the best fine liqueurs and Xante is certainly no exception. As you know, Peachy Deegan only writes reviews on products she really loves...(and if not, there is not a review. We believe that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.) Whom You Know is ecstatic to tell you we have found our favorite bottle so far this year: Xante.

Whom You Know LOVES the fresh pear flavor that is stunning to taste yet does not have the overly-sweet characteristics of B-list liqueurs. Xante is something that will become a standard on bar shelves across Manhattan, so be sure to make sure your bar is well-equipped. It has only been here in the US since February, 2009.

From the Yacht Clubs of Stockholm and the beaches of Marbella to the ultra exclusive Alpine Ski Resorts, the seductive experience of Xanté has crossed the ocean for its US debut. Kindred Spirits of North America, Inc. has announced that Xanté is seducing the U.S. premiering at the shores of New York and Miami before launching nationwide. Europe has been under Xanté’s spell for more than ten years, having fallen for the enchanted taste and essence of unimaginable pleasure.

Xanté CEO Adéle Nilsson states, “After immense success in Europe, we are excited to bring the European secret of Xanté to the United States. Our dream is actualizing due to the excitement and buzz that we are already seeing through Xanté previews with image conscious consumers, celebrities and mixologists.”

Created with the finest all-natural ingredients from all over the “Country of Europe,” it is no wonder that Xanté has reached the coveted number two liqueur spot in Scandinavia’s ratings. A Swedish gem, Xanté is the intimate result of a ménage a trois combining the sweetness of virgin pears with a touch of the finest French Cognac matured for four years in French Limousine Oak barreled with hints of vanilla. The final result is an experience of all five senses produced in the finest Swedish distilleries in a category all its own.

Xanté should be experienced for the first time with eyes closed to fully capture the scent and stimulating flavors. From the exhilarating pear vanilla scent and the soft amber color to the sweet indescribably soft flavors with just a hint of cognac, the extremely versatile Xanté combines ultimate desires for Unimaginable Pleasure. Xanté is known for its versatile appeal. Nilsson tells stories of Scandinavian royalty enjoying chilled shots of Xanté on chilly winter nights. As experienced in Europe, Xanté is best served as an ultra premium shot cooled over a bed of ice. Xanté exhilarates as a sophisticated spirit when served neat or on the rocks while the softer side of Xanté is revealed in a chilled martini glass.

Distributed by Kindred Spirits of North America, Inc., Xanté retails at approximately $40.00 for a 750 ml bottle. Xante comes from the company that brings you the world-renowned Cherry Heering brand, the original “cherry brandy,” a product of Denmark since 1818.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
