While the South may get most of the glory for its role in American whiskey production, the northern part of the United States is home to some of the most dynamic distilleries to emerge in this modern spirits-making era. Stoll & Wolfe played a vital role in re-establishing modern-day Pennsylvania rye , a historic style of this whiskey.

And while it’s probably a stretch to call bourbon “America’s native spirit” — that title could equally go to apple brandy or rye whiskey — it’s certainly a distinctly American product anyone in the U.S.A. Since the whiskey boom in the mid-2010s, some states are practically neck deep in craft bourbon.

Initially launched in 2010 at 40% ABV, Rémy V has been refined to 35% ABV for its reintroduction. I used some softer flavors like a prickly pear brandy and Manzanilla, a grape-based fortified wine infused with fresh tarragon. The result is a smoother and more fruit- forward spirit. So for me it’s really easy to enjoy.
