Fort Hamilton Single Barrel Rye is a traditional North-Eastern American rye from Alex Clark Spiritsmade with no corn in the mash, purely rye, malted barley, yeast, and water for a rich, full, robust flavor, bottled from a single barrel.
Fort Hamilton takes its name and spirit from August 1775, when Alexander Hamiltons Hearts of Oak militia raided lower Manhattan under fire from HMS Asia, seizing British cannons to form Americas first artillery company. The rye is barreled at a low proof for a smoother profile that emphasizes the grain over the barrel, non-chill filtered, and aged in heavily charred new American white oak on the Brooklyn waterfrontwhere, as tradition dictates for Eastern ryes, the warehouse is heated in winter to keep maturation moving.
