Fort Hamilton Double Barrel a Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys

Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Bourbon is a unique blend of straight bourbons crafted by Fort Hamilton Distillery, located in Brooklyn, New York. This small-batch bourbon combines the distillery’s own high-rye bourbon with sourced bourbon from MGP in Indiana. The blend highlights two distinct mashbills: Fort Hamilton’s 70% corn, 25% rye, and 5% malted barley, and MGP’s 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. This high-rye composition gives the bourbon a distinctive character that sets it apart from more traditional blends. Bottled at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Bourbon is produced in limited batches of just 500 bottles. The double-barrel process involves additional aging in carefully selected barrels, which enhances the complexity and depth of the spirit. Fort Hamilton Distillery pays homage to American history, with its name and branding inspired by Alexander Hamilton and the country’s first artillery company, Hearts of Oak. This historical connection, combined with the distillery’s small-batch craftsmanship, makes Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Bourbon a reliable choice at an accessible price point, excellent value for sipping or mixing.
