Anywhere to get Xtabentún in the US?

[jd in baltimore]

I went to Cancún several years ago and bought a bottle of Xtabentún, the anise liquor that, from what I have read, also has honey in it. My one bottle broke a few years ago on a cross-country move, and now I'm on the East Coast wondering how to get my hands on it without having to leave the country. I'm in Baltimore.

It's here in Boston liquor stores thanks to Preiss.

DrinkUpNY has it and they ship: http://www.drinkupny.com/SearchResult... (That assumes you can receive booze in your state).

In the Yucatan it's about $9, so probably a fair value from DrinkUpNY @ $23. It's a special occasion sipper and a bottle lasts a while, but it's one of those oddities that when you have the impulse, it's nice to have somewhere in the back row.

There's a drink here in Boston that uses it by Trina Sturm of Trina's Starlite Lounge -- I'd compare it to perhaps a Tequila Rusty Nail:

El Camino
2 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila
1/2 oz D'Aristi Xtabentún Honey Liqueur
2 dashes Chocolate Mole Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass.

Ohh thanks!! D'aristi is our competence in Yucatan, Mexico we are a Mexican distillery that wants to enter in the US. We make the Xtabentun and for sure we can give you a better price however if someone doesnt want to change the xtabentun supplier we can also offer other alternative drinks, I strongly suggest you check our website www.kuuch.com do you know the purchasing person for DrinkupNY?? who is in charge of imports?.. I have a wider range of henequen liquors like the xtabentun for sure they might get interested.

cheers

Hi yarm, I've been looking all over Boston and haven't found the stuff anywhere. I checked Kappy's, Martignetti's, Cambridge Wine & Liquor, Downtown Liquors.. nobody had heard of it or knew where to get ahold of it. Have you seen it in any stores around town?

[foodeye]

This shows it at Gordon's Wines and Liquors in Waltham, or one of the others can maybe ship it to you (I don't know what your local restrictions may be).

D'aristi Xtabentun is a cheap xtabentun our xtabentun is much better yet you wont find anywhere in the US yet because we havent entered there yet.. we have an importer in Phili and we are about to send samples within the coming days

We have many worthy products that for sure you're gonna love it if you like the sweet liquors like the xtabentun. Please get in touch with our importer perhaps he might sell you a couple of bottles if you were in Mexico I would give 1 or 2 for free in order to make promotion in the US..

We are expecting to enter the US soon.

Yes, the importer of D'Aristi Xtabentun in the US is Preiss Imports based in Ramona California. Their contact info is the following:

And if you're ever in LA, they carry the stuff at a place near the Marina called Beverage Warehouse.
