Flyback is a new ready-to-drink cocktail collection from Klocke Estate, the authentic earth-to-glass distillery producing brandy and artisanal spirits using the methods of Calvados and Cognac. The line debuted with three quality offerings spotlighting brandy and vermouth, and celebrating fruit spirits and bitters, and expressing the spirit of the Hudson Valley while revering European traditions.
While the Flyback Appletini is a fresh take on a modern classic that pairs crisp Honeycrisp apple juice with the smooth complexity of Klocke Estate’s Apple Brandy and Brevis White Vermouth, the Flyback Brandy Manhattan is warm, sweet and smooth. Rounding out the trio, Flyback Claverack Old-Fashioned is a new take on a timeless serve.
Flyback, named for the chronograph watch feature that resets time, invites drinkers to sip slowly and savor the moment.
