Following his victory over the British, Washington was celebrated by the masses as the King of America. He famously responded by stating that he was "Not a King."
Handcrafted from grain to barrel to bottle, with a mash bill of 60% Rye, 35% Corn and 5% Malted Barley, this limited release is an interpretation of Washington’s original rye whiskey recipe. Batch 6 takes drinkers back to the late 1700s with nuanced flavors reminiscent of the spirit America's original settlers would enjoy.
A beautiful polished mahogany in color, it has nice notes of apricot up front on the nose. Upon first sip, cinnamon raisin toast comes through followed by freshly spun cotton candy. It finishes nicely with a hint of Nutella and dried stone fruit on the back of the palate. Aged 3 years in 30 gallon barrels, it’s the makings for a perfect Old Fashioned or Manhattan with a twist of history.
Hand-crafted and distilled in our historic Featherbone Factory in Three Oaks, Michigan, this certified organic, kosher and gluten-free whiskey received a 5-star “Highest Recommendation” from F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal.
