Description: Taconic Distillery, established in 2013, is a purveyor of fine craft spirits located in the Hudson Valley of New York. Taconic Distillery handcrafts their award-winning whiskies in small batches using the finest ingredients, including grains grown in New York and natural spring water from their Hudson Valley farm. Inspired by hunting and fishing, Taconic embraces a passion for the outdoors and that passion is imprinted in their spirits. The Double Barrel Maple Bourbon is a collaboration with Catskill Mountain Sugarhouse. Freshly dumped Bourbon barrels are sent to Catskill Mountain Sugarhouse who fills them with their New York Grade A Organic Maple Syrup. After a few months of aging, the barrel aged maple syrup is bottled and sold. Those same barrels are then immediately refilled with bourbon. After a few months of soaking up the sweetness, the annual release of their Double Barrel Maple Bourbon is produced. The initial sweetness lingers with the earthiness of the barrels, resulting in a slightly sweet buttery flavor which is unmistakable.
