Tempus Fugit Spirits
Tempus Fugit Spirits is dedicated to importing and developing the finest spirits from around the globe to satisfy the demands of the most discerning cocktailian connoisseur. We are the Sole U.S. Agent for premium, award-winning absinthes from the historic absinthe producing regions in Switzerland and France. We are pleased to be at the forefront of this exciting and resurgent spirits category, which will shortly become a staple in any well-stocked drinking establishment or consumers’ personal spirits collection.
In addition, Tempus Fugit Spirits is rediscovering antique liquors which had been lost to the modern world, starting with our flagship and already acclaimed, Gran Classico Bitter. These precious historical spirits are being recreated by our partner distilleries in Europe, the United States and even directly by us in Northern California.
It is with great pride that we bring the ‘spirit of history’ to the American consumer. The quality of the products that we represent clearly expresses why these critically-acclaimed brands stand at the very pinnacle of their categories.
