  • Inviting comparison with its Speyside cousins, this un-peated American single malt whisky opens with mellow notes of honey complemented by caramel and cinnamon. Warm cereal, toasted hazelnuts, and late-summer orchard fruits follow, leading to layers of dark chocolate and spiced, stewed figs, plus a hint of tangerine. Fresh cereal and a fine sense of barrel linger on the finish.
  • NY Farm Distillery License eligible
  • Non-chill filtered; 53% ABV

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Tenmile Distillery is releasing a “Revolutionary” series of single malt whiskies in collectible, limited editions. Each expression showcases Tenmile’s distinctive craft-forward, malt-driven whisky style through the lens of a different finishing regimen. Six bottlings have been released to date, and twelve will be released in 2026. Each of the expressions in the series (there will be 57 in total; 55 battles are recognized, along with a pivotal figure, and a noteworthy institution) will carry its own specialized label (designed by Aaron Koskela in a style familiar from his work at creative house Stranger & Stranger) detailing moments in a narrative that still feels very much alive in the distillery’s Upstate New York environs.
