AMERICA WAS FOUNDED THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HARD-FIGHTING, HARD-DRINKING MEN.

MEN WHO BELIEVED IN FREEDOM AND GOOD BOOZE WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES, FORGING THE BEDROCK OF THIS REPUBLIC, AND IN DOING SO, CREATED A NEW SPECIES OF MAN: THE AMERICAN. AMERICANS CONQUERED THE WESTERN FRONTIER. MEN OF PISS AND VINEGAR WHO TAMED THE WILD, BATTLED THE ELEMENTS, AND ESTABLISHED THE FIRST AMERICAN SALOONS. IT’S IN THIS FINE TRADITION THAT MEMBERS OF THE VETERAN COMMUNITY PRESENT TO YOU: LEADSLINGERS’ WHISKEY.

LEADSLINGERS’ WHISKEY IS PRODUCED BY SEVEN COMBAT VETERANS, FROM THE US ARMY RANGERS, USAF TACP, SPECIAL FORCES, AND PARATROOPER COMMUNITIES. THEIR LOVE FOR AMERICA AND FINE WHISKEY, IS WHAT THE COMPANY IS ALL ABOUT. THEY WANTED TO CRAFT A WHISKEY THAT WAS ENJOYABLE AND UNREPENTANTLY SUPPORTED THE SECOND AMENDMENT. BY REMAINING ACTIVE IN THEIR CIVILIAN AND MILITARY COMMUNITIES, LEADSLINGERS’ STRIVES TO SET AN EXAMPLE. BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE. BE BOLD. NO APOLOGIES.

AMERICA SALUTES YOU! NOW POUR A SHOT OF BOLDNESS FORGED IN THE MINDS OF BATTLE HARDENED PATRIOTS AND ENJOY!

For the Willett family, distilling craft whiskey is a family tradition. John David Willett began distilling at the Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery in Kentucky during Reconstruction. In 1898, Lambert Willett, who was 15 years old at the time, began apprenticing with his father. Nearly four decades later, Lambert, together with his son, Thompson, purchased a farm on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky and began construction of the Willett Distilling Company. Today, Evan Kulsveen, Thompson Willett's son-in-law and the owner of Willett Distilling Company, continues to shepherd the family legacy forward. This Willett Family Estate Small Batch rye is matured for four years in hand selected White Oak barrels for four years. Bottled at a cask strength this powerful rye is deeply complex with a touch of sweetness followed by toasted notes. 

Rye whiskies present considerably more diversity in flavor compared to Bourbons, and our Hogback Rye Whiskey is no exception. Lighter than some rye, our 95% rye is complex and enticing.

Nose: Floral and soft. Grassy and sweet, with plenty of green apple and some oak.

Palate: Green apple hard candies are most prevalent, with some tart cherry and flowery sweetness.

Finish: Lingering sweet orange spice. 

Warming and deeply satisfying neat or as the base for a cocktail.

Rye & Rumba is the intersection between rye whiskey and Caribbean Rum. We begin the process with a rye made from 95% rye, 5% malted barley, then aged in charred American White Oak barrels. After aging, we add a twist – an American Oak spire, seasoned, toasted, and infused with Caribbean Rum, imparting sweet, bright flavors, and notes of panel, coconut, and molasses.

Aged a minimum of 4 years, with floral notes, honeysuckle and apricot on the nose and spice and citrus on the palate. Finish is soft and smooth with tannins that bring out black pepper and wood spice. Best enjoyed on the rocks or served in a “Perfect” Manhattan straight up.

Detailed Description

For Revolution Rye, the mash bill is 100 percent rye (similar to the Canadian rye whiskey used by a few different brands). Interestingly, the Revolution Rye mash bill uses three types of rye grain, including a chocolate malted rye. A portion of the rye is toasted, which Mad River claims releases aromatic chocolate and mocha notes into the distillate.

Mad River Distillers Revolution Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Out of a Glencairn glass, the nose has very strong hay and cereal grain notes. Underneath the almost overpowering grassy notes, faint cocoa notes that the toasted rye allegedly adds.

Palate: On the front, the cereal grain notes carry over from the nose. As the flavor unfolds, the cocoa notes make a brief appearance but are pretty quickly overpowered by bitter grassy notes.

Finish: The finish is grassy, dry, bitter, and unfortunately lingering.

It took over 70 years after the prohibition had ended for the distilling industry to return to New York City. New York had a flourishing distilling industry by the early 19th century, however things changed during the Civil War, when President Lincoln taxed spirits to fund the military. This resulted in many distilleries going underground before the end of the century. The fatal blow for the legal distilling industry in US came in 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment came into effect making the production of alcohol illegal. It was only in the 21st century that small distilleries started resurging in New York. The New York Distilling Company, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is one of the oldest distilleries in the city, and was founded in 2011 by Tom Potter, a co-founder of the Brooklyn Brewery, and Allen Katz, one of the nation's leading experts on distilled spirits and cocktails. The distillery specializes in gins and rye whiskeys and has been one of the pioneers of the city's distilling renaissance that builds upon the pre-prohibition heritage. Gin distilling in New York began in the 17th century, when Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam (as New York was then called) started making a version of the Dutch spirit genever. However, it wasn't until the early 19th century when the first commercial gin was produced in the US. Gin was a popular drink during the prohibition, as it was simple to make. American gin is a bit different from London and other European gins as a result of using other botanicals. Ragtime Applejack Barrel Finished Rye Whiskey brings together two traditional strong drinks from the northeast US rye whiskey and applejack, which was most probably the first spirit to be produced in the first New York State distillery built in 1640. This whiskey is a version of the distillery's flagship Straight Rye Whiskey. After aging for two years in oak, the rye whiskey is finished for 90 days in barrels that previously held applejack in New York's Black Dirt Distillery.

Knob Creek Rye is patiently aged for seven years in deeply charred barrels and bottled at 100 proof to give it the signature Knob Creek full flavor.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Amber brown.

Born of non-GMO AC Hazlet Winter Rye and Heirloom Corn planted and harvested by head distiller Michael Swanson, Roknar Minnesota Rye is milled, fermented and distilled in very small batches.

TASTING NOTES

Roknar marries aromas of brown sugar and cinnamon with vanilla bean, roasted almonds and freshly sawn oak. These scents are precisely restated as flavors on a butter-smooth palate, with additional notes of smoked ham and balsa wood. Finishing with a hint of soft-baked pretzels, Roknar lingers cheerfully with a warming note of star anise.

Crafted in small batches with the utmost attention to detail, Masterson's is a 100% rye whiskey that far exceeds industry standards for rye whiskey production. Our artisans incorporate only the most fragrant and plump grains of rye and pure glacial water from the northern Rockies into a meticulous distillation process that utilizes an old-fashioned pot still. The resulting spirit is then aged in perfectly charred white-oak casks for over ten years to produce a truly exceptional whiskey.

Masterson's is all rye and only rye, meeting the strictest definition of traditional rye whiskey. The rye is grown in the verdant Pacific Northwest, and we chose only rye that exhibits the perfect combination of weight, plumpness, rich, and earthy fragrance. These key characteristics, along with our meticulous distillation process, give Masterson's its uniquely smooth taste.
