A wine made from New Jersey blueberries is fortified with distillates of wild cherry blossom, toasted coconut, almond and makrut lime leaf, sweetened with a Madagascar vanilla syrup and an in-house cereal-milk syrup made with Kellogg's Corn Flakes, and finished with the classic amaro botanicals quassia and gentian.

Matchbook treads the berries, ferments them into a blueberry wine with pronounced fruit and racy tartness, then fortifies it at its peak with fruit and botanical distillates, effectively stopping time and preserving the wine at its best. Madagascar vanilla bean syrup and the nostalgic cornflake syrup layer in comfort, and quassia and gentian balance the sweetness with a gentle bitter finish.
