bull moose - long island's first craft...
TRANSCRIPT
Founded by Richard Stabile in 2007, Long Island Spirits is a
craft distillery nestled in the heart of Long Island’s acclaimed
North Fork wine region. Home to dozens of family-owned farms
and wineries, the area’s long agricultural tradition provides
ingredients used in Rough Rider whiskies. Richard sources the
water used at his distillery from a nearby aquifer beneath the Pine
Barrens forest preserve, known to contain some of the purest
water in the United States. Long Island Spirits is the first craft
distillery on the island since the 1800s and the farm on which the
distillery resides has a rich history dating back over 100 years.
This is truly a farm-to-bottle craft distiller operation in a unique
setting producing innovative spirits with quality and integrity.
Rough Rider Bull Moose Three Barrel Rye Whisky is aged in three
different casks to yield complexity and richness. The journey
begins in new American oak barrels where this small-batch Rye
Whisky takes on spicy and sweet cinnamon flavors. Under the
watchful eye of Master Distiller Richard Stabile, the whisky is
moved to bourbon casks, where rye and bourbon flavors blend
together. The final maturation occurs in barrels that previously
held the distillery’s Pine Barrens Single Malt Whisky.
