Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Sprint Spritz Happy Hour offers a refreshing, lightly sparkling experience perfect for casual gatherings or relaxing afternoons. With an exceptionally low ABV of 0.05%, it’s crafted in Italy using a careful blend of select botanicals and citrus essences, capturing the spirit of classic Italian aperitivo culture while remaining almost alcohol-free. Its gentle effervescence and vibrant color make it an appealing choice for those seeking flavor without the buzz.

On the palate, Sprint Spritz Happy Hour delivers bright notes of orange zest, subtle herbal undertones, and a touch of bittersweet complexity reminiscent of traditional spritz cocktails. This lively profile pairs beautifully with briny olives and delicate slices of prosciutto, enhancing their savory qualities while cleansing the palate between bites. The drink’s balance makes it ideal for sharing alongside Mediterranean appetizers or as a light start to any social occasion.

Producer Information: Sprint Distillery

Sprint Distillery is based in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region, an area celebrated for its rich distilling heritage and limestone-filtered water. Founded by a group of local entrepreneurs with backgrounds in both agriculture and fermentation science, Sprint Distillery began as a small-batch operation focused on quality over quantity. Their production approach emphasizes traditional copper pot stills, locally sourced grains, and extended barrel aging to develop nuanced flavors. The distillery maintains close relationships with regional farmers to ensure traceability and sustainability throughout their supply chain.

Beyond their flagship bourbon whiskey, Sprint Distillery offers a diverse portfolio that includes rye whiskey, single malt expressions, and limited-edition cask finishes. They have also expanded into craft gin distilled with native botanicals such as wild juniper and Kentucky mint. Seasonal releases include apple brandy made from heirloom orchard fruit and small-batch vodka crafted from winter wheat. In addition to spirits, Sprint Distillery collaborates with local breweries on barrel-aged stouts and experimental ales that showcase their used oak barrels’ influence on flavor development. This broad range appeals to enthusiasts seeking both classic American whiskeys and innovative craft spirits rooted in regional terroir.
