Van Brunt Stillhouse American Whiskey doesn't fit neatly into typical whiskey categories though it bears some resemblance to traditional, pre-prohibition style, NY State whiskies that featured a four grain mash bill made primarily from malted barley and wheat, a little bit of corn and a touch of rye. It's distilled in a single column still then aged for about 6 months mostly in small 10 gallon charred American Oak casks. This unique whiskey has complex grain flavors with pronounced wheat elements that bear a similarity to a hefeweizen beer. The result is an angular and piercing whiskey with floral notes and a touch of the new barrel sweetness of a bourbon. Great for sipping neat but also perfect for Manhattans, especially when you're torn between Bourbon and Rye. Enjoy this revered and awarded, Brooklyn made craft spirit while you can. The distillery is currently dormant so these may very well be the last drops ever.
