52.5% ABV

Made with 67% NY Dent Corn and 21% Danko Rye from farmer Thor Oechsner, with the remainder Malted Barley from Valley Malt in Massachusetts. Copper pot distilled and aged in barrels from Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky where the staves were air dried for 3 years. Like everything from this distillery, the magic is in the sourcing and care with which they approach every aspect of production. 

Cask strength and non-chill filtered. Notes of banana, ginger, pepper and hay. Extremely drinkable even neat despite the higher proof. Another stunner from the good folks at Matchbook. 

About Matchbook Distilling:

Located on the North Fork of Long Island, Matchbook is the brainchild of distiller Leslie Merinoff-Kwasnieski. They produce an immensely diverse set of spirits built primarily around the abundant produce of their local farmers. Although they make a number of conventional spirits like 2 different grain to glass vodka's and some relatively straightforward American Whiskies, they are perhaps best known for their unconventional offerings. Smoked Pineapple Eau de Vie. Blueberry Amaro. Sunchoke and Honey Spirit. Everything that we've tasted from Matchbook has at the very least made us think, and most of the time it's made us want to drink more of whatever they've come up with. Truly a pioneering distilling team.
