New Liberty Distillery Maryland Club Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The award-winning New Liberty Distillery of Philadelphia has developed a Maryland Heritage Series to pay homage to this somewhat under-appreciated episode of America’s whiskey history. The series features three different whiskeys: a straight bourbon, a straight rye, and an eight-year-old American whiskey. New Liberty Distillery describes the undertaking as “reinterpreting some of the famous, but forgotten, Maryland brands that once formed the foundation of the American whiskey industry” – and in doing so, they’re reviving some classics for today’s whiskey drinkers. At the creative and technical helm of cultivating this series is New Liberty Distillery’s master distiller Robert J. Cassell, an award-winning pioneer in craft distilling. His quest to re-create new whiskeys that capture the spirit of old, Cassel developed Maryland Club Straight Bourbon, Melvale Straight Rye, and Melky Miller 8 Year Old American Whiskey.

New Liberty Distillery Maryland Club Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The heat is ON. From first smell, an alcohol astringency can make the sinuses tingle and the eyes water. More dedicated nosing releases undertones of sugar cookie and maple.

Palate: Upon first sip, this has some fieriness to start, particularly in the front of the mouth, enhanced with a hint of citrus-like acidity. The heat moves so slowly backward it almost seems the heat has dissipated – but then it resurfaces to warm the throat, and with it, a whisper of vanilla bean.

Finish: Warm and rich.

Distillery Information

New Liberty Distillery was founded in 2004 by Robert Cassell (formerly with Philadelphia Distilling) in Philadelphia, Pennsylva. Their building once served as a stable, and much of its architecture, including the horse stalls, have been preserved. The building now provides a home to our custom-made still, as well as the rick house where we barrel age our whiskey. In addition to the working distillery, they also feature a beautiful bar and tasting room where you can sample their whiskey and enjoy craft cocktails created by their in-house mixologist Sam. Their Heritage Collection and New Liberty whiskeys, spirits-related gifts, and other locally sourced products can be purchased in their retail space.
