  • Putnam New England Rye Whiskey from Boston Harbor Distillery – Offers a sharper, earthy finish that you can only get from Rye and it wraps the whole experience up for an unforgettable silky, smooth whiskey.
  • Nor’Easter Bourbon Whiskey by Triple Eight Distillery – The climate and geography have a noticeable impact on the taste of the bourbon. The distillery’s proximity to the ocean and marine haze (Nantucket is nicknamed “The Grey Lady” ) add a touch of salinity to the bourbon.
  • Rowan’s Creek Bourbon Whiskey by Willett Distillery – On the palate you are treated to sweet caramel, vanilla, dusted in floral notes… Finishing notes of oak and a lingering spiciness.
