Taconic distillery's home is the iconic Hudson Valley. Saturated with National Historic landmarks, the area boasts bountiful farms. With a fervor for the rustic outdoors and a strong desire to work the land, the Coughlin family purchased a portion Laured beef Farms, in Stanfordville, NY, in 2010. Renaming it Rolling Hills Farm. The former farm's 113 acres of rolling hills, became the inspiration for Taconic Distillery's entrance to Dutchess County's local agribusiness market.Inspired by a sporting lifestyle, Taconic's team share a love of the outdoors. Together they embrace hunting, fishing, and a general passion for the outdoor life. This lifestyle is imprinted upon all their products. This area is also the number one wine-producing region in the United States, and home to a world class culinary institute. Taconic prides itself on preserving a bourbon whiskey tradition: From George and Martha Washington's home during the American Revolution, to the Great Estates of the Vanderbilt's, Roosevelt's and Rockefeller's, to the hunting preserves and horse farms of today, bourbon whiskey has been savored for generations (Taconic Distillery). To maintain an unadulterated flavor of the whiskey, Taconic never chill filters, and distill their whiskeys below 160 proof to retain the flavors from the grains. It is the flavor of the grains that are transferred through the distilling process as fatty molecules or flavor oils which results in a cloudiness in the whiskey. Those flavors are transferred through the distilling process as fatty molecules (flavor oils). Some distillers will chill filter the fatty molecules and sacrifice a certain amount of flavor for clarity. Taconic uses distinct Coopers Select, Char #3 new oak barrels made by the Independent Stave Company. Their barrels have a unique maturation process; aged in shipping containers. Less is lost to the angel's share, due to the saturation of the air inside the containers. Being exposed to great temperature fluctuations, results in greater movement of spirit in and out of the barrel staves. Aging occurs in cycles, during times of increased temperature such as in the summer, the whiskey expands through the char, through to the untreated wood beneath. While in the wood, the whiskey dissolves various flavorful compounds. When temperatures drop, the liquid contracts and brings out all of the flavors of the wood, producing flavors that complement the body of the whiskey. Taconic Distillery's Rolling Hills Rum is distilled from sugarcane molasses and aged for two years in bourbon barrels. The rum gets its final beauty rest in recently emptied Taconic Distillery's Founder Rye Whiskey barrels, finishing for a few months in them. The sugarcane elixir is then cut to 80 proof with fresh spring water from the Taconic farm.A truly succulent whiskey with rich vanilla and caramel notes.

Carbonadi Ultra Premium Italian Vodka is a vodka crafted with precision and luxury in mind, emerging from the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region. This ultra-premium spirit begins with 100% organic Italian wheat and pure water from the Alps, earning its organic certification through Oregon Tilth. From here, the production process takes several unique steps to ensure the highest quality and an exceptional taste experience.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Carbonadi is its carbonado filtration. During this process, each small batch of vodka is filtered through 2,000 carats of carbonados, also known as black diamonds, which have exceptional purifying capabilities. This step removes impurities that conventional filters cannot capture, giving Carbonadi a distinct clarity and smoothness. Additionally, the vodka undergoes micro-oxygenation, infusing it with oxygen to enhance its creamy texture and luxurious mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes
Carbonadi offers a beautifully smooth and refined profile. On the nose, it opens with light floral and mineral aromas, followed by hints of vanilla and almond on the palate. The oxygenation gives it a remarkable creaminess, complemented by subtle white pepper notes and a hint of natural sweetness. The finish is impeccably clean and lasting, showcasing a depth and purity that make it ideal for sipping neat or using as a premium base for cocktails.

For those looking to enjoy this luxurious Italian vodka, Carbonadi is available at Royal Batch, bringing the art of Italian craftsmanship straight to your glass.

In May 2010, expert jimadors from the Corazon Distillery began harvesting agave from the rolling hillsides of Arandas, which is situated in the Jalisco region of Mexico. Rather than clear-cutting the fields from the outset, the jimadors employed scientific tools in order to analyze the precise sugar content of the 80 tons of agave plants in Arandas. Once the sugar content had been determined, the jimadors combined agave with a low sugar content (a low sugar content will produce a tequila with a drier, more mineral flavor profile) together with agave with a high sugar content (a high sugar content will produce a tequila with a sweeter and more bold flavor profile) in order to produce a unique blanco tequila. Once the tequila had been produced, it was fractionated and matured in three unique types of casks: casks that had been previously used to mature Buffalo Trace Bourbon, casks that had previously been used to mature George T. Stagg Bourbon and casks that had previously been used to mature Sazerac Rye. Corazon Sazerac Rye Aejo Tequila is aged for 24 months in casks that were previously used to mature Sazerac Rye. It has an aroma of strawberries, butterscotch and toffee, which give way to notes of caramel, roasted nuts, and ripe citrus on the palate. The finish is sharp and bold, with touches of pineapple and agave balancing notes of spicy rye.

Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2022 Release: BRT-01 & BRT-02

Our fourth Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series may be the easiest way to taste your way through the rickhouse.  The name BRT was given to these expressions because of the influence our consistent practice of hand-barrel rotation (BRT) and temperature has on our whisky process. Made to be enjoyed as a pair, BRT-01 is inspired by the tasting notes found at the hotter top of the rickhouse, and BRT-02 is inspired by tasting notes found at the cooler bottom. Together,  they give people the unique opportunity to experience where the characteristics responsible for the original Maker’s Mark come from, so they can reach a new level of understanding of whisky.

Because there’s twice the taste but a limited number of bottles, it would be wise to ask your local retailer about availability near you.

BRT-02 Tasting Notes

AROMA: A seasoned oak nuttiness combined with molasses

TASTE: Prevalent dark fruit and chocolate with baking spices

FINISH: Long, viscous and round

PROOF: Cask Strength (109.4)

Hand-selected by Nicole Austin, this Cascade Moon release complements the series by offering a complex and mature rye addition to the lineup. The barrels containing aging rye arrived from Indiana to Cascade Hollow in 2012, where they spent another nine years in Cascade Hollow’s single story rickhouses. The temperature conditions led to a gracefully slow maturation, bringing the beautiful and unique notes of the whisky forward. At 13-years old, this rye is both delightfully balanced and sophisticated. The whisky is a mellow and enjoyable rye at an ideal 100-proof.

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage champagnes, unlike most champagnes, are made from the grapes of a single exceptional year. 

Each Grand Vintage is unique. Each possesses the distinctive, imitable qualities of that year’s outstanding grapes, qualities which have been elevated to their fullest expression through the savoir-faire, experience and expertise of Moët & Chandon and the House’s chef de cave.
Since 1842, the House has released 74 vintage champagnes. Moët & Chandon possesses one of the world’s most prestigious collection of vintage champagnes, all of which are safeguarded in the Grand Vintage Reserve cellars.

BLEND

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013 Rosé is thus an unexpectedly complementary expression of a year that is widely known for its Chardonnays. It is 35% Chardonnay – a rather high proportion for a rosé, which typically contains more Pinot Noir. After 7 years in the cellars, it reveals a truly unique character.

TASTING NOTES

Colour tinged with orange

A radiant, light pink hue with hints of orange.

Chiseled, Generous, Spicy fruitness

Generous bouquet

The initial aromas are sweet, tinged with a mixture of wild strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds. It then develops a touch of freshness with hints of blood orange and star fruit. Black pepper, dark chocolate, cinnamon, dried flowers and new leather round off the bouquet.

A SPICY, WELL-DEFINED PALATE

The fleshy attack on the palate confirms the wine’s voluptuous character. The chiselled structure of the Pinot Noir is accompanied by the sensation of crisp stone fruit, such as plums and cherries. The texture is finely powdered and a delicate astringency underscores the long finish, with flashes of pink grapefruit and lime zest.

This gold-medal winning infusion is something to be marveled. The twists and turns of the thinly cut peel make for a perfect artistic visual in this craft vodka, as well speaks to the brand's natural-infusion ethos.

Infuse's Lemon vodka has a pale yellow hue and bright candied-lemon peel scent. The spirit feels silky and viscous on the tongue and evokes waxy lemon peel flavors. Well-chilled, this is a bracing martini option.

Try with: soda, tonic, lemonade, vermouth, or ginger liqueur

It is a creamy liqueur,  pleasantly sweet and with a moderate alcohol content,  characterized by an intense aroma of pistachio. Pistachios are the fruit of a plant native of the Middle East, now growing  spontaneously on the Sicilian volcano Mount Etna. They have always  been renowned for their nutritional properties. Pistachios, exclusively  harvested in Sicily, are processed according to a traditional method and turned into a paste which preserves all their precious organoleptic  characteristics. The paste is then expertly mixed with alcohol, water  and sugar, creating a creamy, round, velvety liqueur with an intense an  inebriating aroma of Sicilian pistachios. With a final touch of grappa, Pistacchio Bottega gains a particular aromaticity, making it  unique and unmistakable.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Color and Appearance: Pistachio green.

Bouquet: Intense aroma of pistachio with a delicate hint of almond.

Taste: Soft, round, delicate and intriguing, it caresses the palate with its strong and original pistachio taste.
