WHISKEY AMERICAN ROUGH RIDER USA, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK Rough Rider Double-Casked Straight Bourbon 90PF / 750ML
Named after the First United States Volunteer Cavalry - the “Rough Riders” - originally organized by Long Island’s own Teddy Roosevelt in 1898 to fight in the Spanish-American War. The whisky is a mash bill of 60% corn, 35% rye and 5% malted barley. After initial aging in new charred oak, it is finished in merlot and chardonnay casks from local wineries. The wine casks themselves are washed in local brandy before the bourbon goes in for final aging. Rough Rider Single Barrel Bourbon The Old Lion 8Yr 126PF / 750ML The Old Lion Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whisky was inspired by Teddy Roosevelt’s spirit of adventure of discovery. In Teddy’s later years, he was nicknamed “The Old Lion”. This very rare whisky is an 8-Year-Old High Rye Straight Bourbon, fermented from local Long Island grains using a sweet mash process, then finally bottled at Barrel Proof. The result is an amazingly unique and refined Bourbon that tastes legendary. Rough Rider Three Barrel “Bull Moose” Rye Whiskey 90PF / 750ML
Rough Rider Bull Moose Three Barrel Rye Whiskey pays tribute to the Progressive Party, which was formed by Roosevelt in 1912. The party became known as the “Bull Moose Party” after Roosevelt, who had just been wounded in an assassination attempt, boasted that “it takes more than that to kill a bull moose.” The rye is made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and is matured in three types of casks.
