The barley is smoked in the malthouse with peat imported from Speyside, Scotland, for about 16 hours, then milled, fermented, distilled in a custom-built 250-gallon copper pot still, aged and bottled on the Hudson Valley estate. Before bottling, the whiskey is finished in select Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The distillery was set up under the late master distiller Dave Pickerell, formerly of Maker's Mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright honey amber in the glass, it brings crème brûlée, shortbread, caramelised orange and heather on the nose, opening to a balanced, smooth palate faint with citrus and rounded with toffee, dried fruit, cinnamon and clove.
