The Aroma Thyme bar, affectionately known as the Libation Library, has been nurturing personal relationships with small independent producers for over two decades. This commitment to supporting communities and celebrating tradition made the event even more special for us. The lineup featured rare and cool Mezcal's and tequilas that left our taste buds in awe. What's more, we were thrilled to discover hidden gems from producers we've visited before!
