Old Potrero 18th Century Style Whiskey

Old Potrero 18th Century Style Whiskey is Anchor Distilling's attempt to recreate the original whiskey of the United States. Made exclusively from rye malt, the grains are milled, mashed and fermented before being distilled through antique copper pot stills. Following distillation, the whiskey is matured in bespoke, lightly charred American oak casks. "In the 18th century, barrels were made by heating the staves over a fire of oak chips, allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel shape," says master distiller Bruce Joseph. "During this process, the inside of the barrel would become toasted — but not charred. For aging, we have chosen several uncharred oak barrels — both new and used — to achieve the balanced complexity that complements this whiskey's traditional heritage."
