Allen Katz, co-founder of New York Distilling Co., together with Tom Potter, founder of Brooklyn Brewery, Katz opened the doors to the 5,000 square-foot New York Distilling Co. facility in Brooklyn (the distillery straddles the neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint one door to the distillery opens up to the Williamsburg zip code and the other to the Greenpoint zip code) in 2011. Since its launch, the distillery has produced a number of highly innovative and original spirits. This Ragtime Rye is the passion project of the New York Distilling Company.

Infinitely mixable- The Decc’s versatility allows it to compliment warm winter sippers. Great in tea or coffee, a perfect addition to your hot toddy and add a surprising spice to fresh summer coolers. 

The perfect intersection of the gin and whiskey world. It’s the right choice for the adventurous drinker who is ready to take on a high-proof, category bending libation.

Distilled in the same process as our award-winning American Gin, we use the identical 12 botanicals to flavor our signature herbaceous, citrusy gin. In true bourbon fashion, the unaged spirit was placed in virgin White American Oak char #3 barrels at 62.5% ABV to rest post-distillation.

Through evaporative loss over the maturation period, the alcohol level dipped to 122 proof. After barrel harvest, the spirit was passed through a light particle filter to remove the residual charcoal fragments from the inside of the charred barrels.

No chill-filtration was utilized, as to not disturb the delicate essential oils that maintain the spirit’s gin profile.

TASTING NOTES

The late Dr. George G. Moore was a native Irishman, with an incredible passion for single malt whiskyand his adopted home Virginia. His Virginia Distillery Company is a union of these two passions, brought to life in 2011. Today the distillery is looked after by, George's son,Gareth Moore and his wife,Maggie Moore, who have continued to preserve and cultivate George's single malt dream. Virginia Distillery Company is currently producing an American Single Malt on-site using malted barley from the U.S. and water from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. This distillery flagship is being aged in ex-bourbon, sherry and re-toasted wine casks. Virginia's hot summers and cool winters significantly influence the aging cycle, imparting a distinctive character onto the whisky. This flagship will be released in three to six years from the time of casking, in 2019. While this single malt matures, Virginia Distillery offers their Virginia-Highland Malt Whisky expression, distilled from 100% malted barley, and crafted from single malt whisky produced in the Scottish Highlands a region known for producing bold and powerful single malts that are full-bodied, rich, textured, and characterized by a touch of smoke and fruit. The whisky is then transported over 3,000 miles to the Virginia Distilling Company in Lovingston, Virginia where the Scotch is married with whisky made onsite in Virginia. This hybrid whisky is finished for several months in French oak casks that were previously used to mature a Virginia port-style wine. The French oak casks, which are sourced from a local Virginia winery, impart a copper-reddish hue to the whisky and contribute sweet, fruity notes. Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky has notes of dried fruit and raisins on the nose, along with vanilla and barrel spice. The palate has hints of toffee, cocoa and toasted oak with a soft finish. Enjoy it neat, with a cube or a splash of water or in your favorite specialty cocktail. 

Batch No. 4 has been aged for a minimum of 6 years in new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels. The result of this extended Double Oaked aging period is an American single malt that displays traits of something more classically produced in the Highlands of Scotland married with spicy attributes typically found in well aged American rye whiskey. This well rounded, complex whiskey is an incredible sipper for the die hard whiskey fan.
