WHISKEY AMERICAN

CHICAGO DISTILLING USA ILLINOIS Handmade from Illinois Grains and distilled in small batches. Decades before the Great Fire burned, or buildings scraped the sky, Chicago’s distilling tradition was born. During the late 1800’s our predecessors transformed the bounty of nearby farms into the whiskey that fueled a city on the make. We like to think of ourselves as an extension of that tradition. To make our craft spirits, we start with organic grains sourced right here in Illinois. Using family recipes and techniques, we distill in small batches to ensure the best flavors and highest quality possible. Blind Tiger Bourbon 90PF / 200ML Upon the birth of prohibition Blind Tigers became synonymous with Speakeasies. Not as common as roaring speakeasies, Blind Tigers were locally known watering holes. By placing a tiger icon in the window of their establishment a proprietor signified that whiskey was being served. Patrons would pay to see an exotic animal and in return receive a complimentary pour. Our Blind Tiger is a nod to the dedication of those proprietors and the patrons who frequented their establishments. Blind Tiger Rye 90PF / 200ML / 750ML Our Rye mash bill has a high rye content to focus on the spiced notes inherent in the grain. Gentle on the front with note of light fruit and buttery toffee with a spicy finish of Midwest rye. Belgian Dark Strong Single Malt 90PF / 375ML This American Single Malt Whiskey takes on notes of biscuit dough with hints of sweet toffee, dried fruit and subtle nutty finish. Dunkelweizen Single Malt 90PF / 375ML This Single Malt captures the fruity notes of a wheat beer while maintaining the complexity of a hand-crafted whiskey. Hints of clove and fresh bread from the malted grain marry perfectly with the oak from the barrel. Octoberfest Single Malt 100PF / 375ML Limited annual release of single malt distilled from a classic Oktoberfest malt bill. Rauch Single Malt 90PF / 375ML This American Single Malt Whiskey is a great transition from a Scottish Single Malt Whiskey with a sweet earthy smokiness hints of creamy chocolate and malty caramel finish. Stouted Single Malt 90PF / 375ML By brewing a stout mash bill and distilling it into a Whiskey, this Single Malt has been making friends with beer connoisseurs and whiskey enthusiasts. Soft hints of cocoa open nicely to complex notes of roasted coffee and a slight nuttiness.
