Rye Whisky 750ml
Fort Hamilton Rye is a tribute to Alexander Hamilton’s Hearts of Oak militia’s raid on lower Manhattan in August 1775. Under fire from HMS Asia, they decided to repurpose the battery of British cannons, subsequently forming America’s first artillery company. A traditional North-Eastern American style rye (which has no corn in the mash), Fort Hamilton rye is distilled purely from rye, malted barley, yeast and water to achieve a rich, full and robust flavor. Barreled at a low proof for a smooth profile that lends itself to the grain rather than the barrel. The warehouse is heated in the winter season to create a more dynamic aging process. Bottled as a single barrel, the rye is non-chill filtered & aged in heavily charred new American white oak barrels overlooking the Brooklyn waterfront, for eighteen months. As the first release from Alex Clark Spirits in Brooklyn, this bona fide, self-assured rye is one that doesn’t live in bourbon’s shadow but shines brightly on its own. It’s unique on the nose with pronounced aromas of grain and ample spice, wood notes, mint, and eucalyptus. The palate echoes the nose with soothing, smooth flavors, cedar, and black pepper, followed by a bold, smooth finish. After seeing action in Cuba, the Rough Riders earned a decisive victory at the Battle of San Juan Hill before returning to Long Island. Upon their return, the soldiers celebrated their victory and presented Colonel Roosevelt with a small bronze statue of a cowboy riding a bucking horse. "There could have been no more appropriate gift from such a regiment," wrote Roosevelt later. "Most of them looked upon the bronze with the critical eyes of professionals. I doubt if there was any regiment in the world which contained so large a number of men able to ride the wildest and most dangerous horses." Crafted by Long Island Spirits, Rough Rider “The Big Stick” Cask Strength Rye Whiskey pays homage to Roosevelt’s First United States Volunteer Cavalry, and reminds us of the President’s old foreign policy adage, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” The whiskey is crafted from 100% Long Island winter rye, which is planted on local farms to maintain the sustainable characteristics of the soils following the harvesting of Long Island’s iconic potatoes. Aged in 30-gallon American oak barrels, Rough Rider “The Big Stick” Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is micro-blended from just eight barrels before being bottled at 121 proof.
