A brand new distributor just showed up the other day. I love small, new distributors because they always have some sort of oddball interesting products that have never been in Maryland before. In this case we are talking about "Black Forest Devil" a traditional German liqueur from a family guarded 200 year recipe of 40 herbs actually from Germany's Black Forest. I guess the importer is hoping that if one traditional German herbal schnapps could be a huge hit in the US (that would be Jagermiester) maybe another one could too. there's even a traditional way to drink it. Set it on fire. Really. You're supposed fill glass (all the way to the brim to keep the rim from getting hot) and then light it (it's 102 proof), once you blow it out the the aroma is supposed to intensify. We only got it in yesterday and we have already sold quite a bit, granted, so far only to employees. But if the enthusiasm of our employees is any guide I am quite confidant that one day will sell it to an actual customer.
