Announcing Artisan Spirits: Top Shelf Spirits Meet Top Shelf Snus. 4 March 2023.

In late 2023, I realized a dream of mine.  I launched my first, full-time line of snus products:  Artisan Snus.  Artisan is special, because it came about when nicotine pouches were taking over the market and snus users began feeling forgotten.  Artisan is the first line of snus that was created entirely with the snus community in mind - flavors, strengths, and even can designs.  Today, I'm excited to announce the next big addition coming soon to Artisan Snus:  The Artisan Spirits line.  This is a line of snus that will contain top-shelf alcohol flavors that the snus community has been asking for.  With Artisan, we only make flavors and products that the snus community asks for, requests, or votes for.  These two are flavors that people have highly requested, so I'm excited to help bring them to life with Artisan!

Our description:  "Artisan Spirits:  Top-Shelf Spirits Meet Top-Shelf Snus.  Artisan Spirits is a new line from Artisan Snus, and is our tribute to Wild West saloons and Prohibition Era speakeasies.  Artisan Spirits launches with two top-shelf products:  Artisan Single Malt Whisky Lös and Artisan Bourbon & Vanilla Black."

 

Artisan Single Malt Whisky Lös

Product Description:  "With a rich taste of Single Malt Whisky, hints of oak, and a dark, smoky tobacco base.  Artisan Single Malt Whisky Lös launches exclusively in the lös format."

Nicotine Strength:  Stark

My Notes:  Whisky snus is incredibly popular in the snus market, but there aren't a lot of them out there.  With this one, we wanted to do something different.  Can you remember the last time a snus launched exclusively in the loose format?  It's not very common.  With this one, we wanted to mix it up a bit and kick it off with that format.  This snus has a whisky forward flavor, and is designed with whisky-lovers in mind.

Artisan Bourbon & Vanilla Black

Nicotine Strength:  Stark

Product Description:  "Redefining the term "bar-worthy", Artisan Bourbon & Vanilla Black launches in sleek black portions and delivers a rich flavor of dark tobacco, Kentucky Bourbon, and smooth Madagascar Vanilla."

My Notes:  Bourbon isn't a common flavor in snus.  Probe Whisky was one that was around when I first started using snus.  I also made a similar flavored snus back in 2020 that was incredibly popular.  I wanted to do something different and make a more premium bourbon snus than the market has ever seen.  In addition to a rich tobacco base, I decided to do this one in black portions.  There aren't a lot of them out there, and I felt that this would make a more premium looking snus to go along with the "top-shelf flavor".

"Pull up a stool and experience the top-shelf flavors of Artisan Spirits".

I'm very excited about this new line of products that will launch in 2023.  These are currently in development and we haven't set a release date yet.  Also, as with Artisan products in the past, all our designs are done by members of the snus community.  We wanted to do something different with this one so Artisan Spirits will have it's own, distinct look.  A big thanks to my buddy Kiley Owen, who I've been friends with for over a decade.  He's a fellow snuser, and he did the designs for these.  You can check out his work on his Instagram page.

This is also just the beginning of Artisan Spirits.  There's a lot more flavors I'd love to play with and release in the future, such as rum, gin, and more!  So stay tuned, this line will have a lot more releases in the future.
