Boston Harbor Distillery Thirteenth Hour Stout

A bold Bostonian Whiskey with greetings from the Old Continent.

Boston Harbor Distillery is a waterfront warehouse by the Neponset River, where Rhonda Kallman decided to use her 25 years of experience in making craft beer to create something new. She hired Dr. James Swan, the world-famous Whiskey expert, and John Couchot, an award-winning distiller. The magic trio came up with hundreds of barrels of various Whiskeys, a small batch rum, and even distilled beer (to remind Rhonda of the craft beer movement).

One of the most wonderful results is a series of three Whiskeys based on Samuel Adams beer, called Spirit of Boston. The distillation amplifies flavors of each hop, spice, and grain used to make the beer. It's twice distilled and matured in used barrels.

Thirteenth Hour Stout starts as a Belgian-style imperial stout (made from various malt varieties and hops from the Old Continent). There are 13 different ingredients in this curiosity that bring something unique to Whiskey drinkers, but still hint at something familiar and cozy. Thirteenth Hour Stout is robust with aromas and flavors of dark coffee. Sometimes things are best enjoyed in solitary, but you'd be mad not to share this one with your friends.
