Finger Lakes Distilling Company McKenzie Pure Pot Still Whiskey
The region’s first stand-alone distillery, Finger Lakes Distilling overlooks the beautiful Seneca Lake from a hillside in the heart of New York’s wine country. As a New York State Farm Distillery, they use locally grown fruits and grains to produce their range of high quality, handcrafted spirits.
McKenzie Pure Pot Still Whiskey is an Irish-style whiskey distilled from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, then aged for over two years in used bourbon and rye barrels. A richer version of a traditional Irish whiskey, the nose offers enticing notes of oak, sweet barley and clover honey. Bold oak notes carry through to the palate, and merge with caramel, vanilla, sweet corn and black pepper. A hint of sweetness appears on the long finish, accented by hints of menthol and black tea.
