What is Krupnikas?
KAS Krupnikas is a family recipe distilled with local honey and a secret blend of spices
Krupnikas is a sweet alcoholic drink that is popular in Lithuania as well as Poland (known there as “Krupnik”). Legend has it that Benedictine monks created Krupnikas in the 1500s. Made with sweet honey and warm spices, it became the drink of choice in the Polish and Lithuanian communities as a way to celebrate holidays, weddings, and even just the everyday. Though the Soviets shut down production for many years, krupnikas lived on through closely guarded family recipes, which have been passed down through the generations.
Our History

In 2013, he decided it was time to share his krupnikas with the world and started KAS Spirits. KAS is created in the Hudson Valley town of Mahopac in Putnam county New York. It is bottled and labeled by hand.
Its a true craft spirit: a family gift offered to the local community and beyond.
