Fort Hamilton Single Barrel Rye Whiskey 750ml

Rye whiskey has always been New York’s spirit. Before bourbon dominated the American landscape, rye was the whiskey of the Northeast — bold, spicy, and built for people who knew what they wanted. Fort Hamilton Single Barrel Rye is a direct nod to that history, distilled in Brooklyn and aged one barrel at a time with no blending, no averaging, and no compromise.

Every bottle tells the story of a single cask. Where blended ryes smooth out the differences between barrels, this expression celebrates them. Each release is its own — shaped by the specific interaction between spirit, wood, and time. The result is a rye with sharper edges, more pronounced character, and the kind of authenticity that only comes from a single barrel.

Fort Hamilton’s high-rye mash bill leads with bold grain spice from the start, building through the palate with layers of pepper, dried herbs, and dark fruit before settling into a long, satisfying finish. This is a sipping rye — one that stands on its own and holds its own in any serious cocktail.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh cracked black pepper, dried herbs, citrus zest, and a hint of vanilla oak
• Palate: Bold rye spice upfront, with dark fruit, toasted grain, cinnamon, and earthy minerality
• Finish: Long, dry, and peppery — lingering warmth with subtle vanilla and oak
