An American hero your evening deserves.

Before we start, what's an American Whiskey? Well, it's any Whiskey from the Land of the Free that doesn't fit into the category of Bourbon or rye. It usually means a different proportion of grains used for mashing, and in the case of Van Brunt's American Whiskey it means it's made of four grains: mainly from malted barley and wheat, with some corn and rye added to the mix.

The Brooklyn-based distillery named after the founder of "Breukelen" borough and managed by the former editor for the Daily Show Daric Schlesselman, and his wife Sarah Ludington, is a maverick distillery that loves to color outside the lines and break some rules. When the folks at Van Brunt Stillhouse blend and ferment their grains, they let the Spirit rest for five months in American oak barrels. All their tiny batches are made by hand and each run is extremely limited.

This Stars-and-Stripes Whiskey is full, rich and sweet, and tastes earthy and malty. Be careful, this is some special cargo and it would be a sin mixing it with anything. Sip it neat or dilute it slightly with water.

Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
Moonshine Whiskey is distilled from a varied mix of corn and sugar and is aged in Mason jars and jugs for the length of time it takes the customers to get home.
Tennessee Whiskey closely parallels Bourbon, but final filtering through sugar-maple charcoal (called the Lincoln County Process) is what some producers say differentiates them. Tennessee Whiskey’s finish is sweeter and smoother than Bourbon.
George Washington was a man of many talents being both a military braniac and the First President of the United States. Interestingly, he also became the largest Whiskey producer in the United States after leaving the politics.
Corn Whiskey is a commercial product that must contain at least 80% corn, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof), and, if wood-aged, may be aged in either used or new un-charred barrels.
