Taconic Distillery Single Malt Whiskey

Discover the heart of the Hudson Valley with Taconic Distillery Single Malt Whiskey. Crafted in Stanfordville, New York, this small-batch American Single Malt, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), is made from 100% New York State malted barley and natural spring water from Rolling Hills Farm. Aged at least 3 years in new charred American oak barrels (Char #3, Independent Stave Company), it’s non-chill filtered to preserve its rich, unfiltered character. Expect a peppery, complex pour that balances roasted malt with sweet caramel, reflecting Taconic’s farm-to-bottle ethos. Sip it neat to embrace its spicy kick or add water to soften the edge. Ever tasted a single malt this distinctly American?

Nose: Toasted grains and slightly burnt barley lead, with notes of chocolate, roasted nuts, and cigar shop earthiness. Sweet caramel and a hint of coconut tease the senses. It’s a bold, beer-like invite

Palate: Spicy malt hits first, with black pepper, oak creaminess, and roasted barley. Pastry-like sweetness, raisins, and a touch of caramel weave a rich, chewy depth

Finish: Peppery clove and sweet caramel linger, with hints of coconut and oak, fading into a warm, malty glow that begs another sip.

Pair this single malt with smoked brisket—the roasted notes love the char. Want a bite? Try dark chocolate; it amplifies the chocolatey malt. For dessert, a caramel tart echoes the palate’s sweetness. Feeling bold? Grilled lamb with a rosemary rub ties the finish into a Hudson Valley feast.
