Dad’s Hat ~ Straight Rye  

A lush and complex rye in the classic, spicy Pennsylvania Style. The nose reveals rye grass and burnt sugar with hints of vanilla. The flavor coats the tongue in layers of pepper and cinnamon spice, green apple, fig and cocoa powder with a long smooth and lingering finish.  “fresh but fully realized at just 3 years.”  ~ Clay Risen author of American Whiskey Bourbon & Rye reports $65/btl

Copper Dog ~ Blended Whiskey

A blended malt Scotch whisky named after a little piece of kit used once upon a time by distillery workers to covertly sneak whisky home. Eight different whiskies from Speyside were combined to create this well-balanced blend, which was designed to be well-suited for enjoying in cocktails and mixed drinks. Nose: Peach, pear and dried apple. Classic Speysider honey’d cereal notes. Palate: Chocolate digestives, nutty malt, orange peels and soft simmering spices.Finish: Baked goods and honey-covered fruit.” (notes from Master of Malt) $33/btl
