Just in time for Bottled-in-Bond month!
Long Island Spirits - Long Island's first craft distillery - is quietly leading the way in my own backyard. Situated about an hour and a half outside of NYC, LI Spirits is making field-to-glass whiskies, brandies, vodkas, and more using the local land for its grains, grapes, and potatoes (not the rum, sorry - sugar doesn't grow well here!)
I got to know LI Spirits through their Teddy Roosevelt-themed whiskies (Bull Moose Rye, Old Lion 8YO Single Barrel, and Rough Rider Bourbon). Over the past few years, they've been rebranding their whiskies to reflect the terroir of being right on Long Island Sound - and thus, Field & Sound was born.
Note: Bottled-in-Bond month starts on March 1st!
Field & Sound covers the full range of whiskies, from bourbon to rye, wheat, and wheated, all bottled-in-bond. There are also special editions, such as the rum-finished bourbon finished in their own nearly eight-year-old rum casks (that rum is unlike any rum I've had, somewhere between an Agricole and a new-make Barbados) and a brandy-finished bourbon in their own brandy. The brandy - also made in-house from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown nearby - clocks in at a massive 166+ proof.
Long Island Spirits is the first distillery on Long Island since Prohibition. Even today, fifteen years after they've opened, there are very few spirits producers and none with the pedigree they've built. As the Roosevelt era fades and Field & Sound takes center stage, I couldn't be prouder to have this quality of spirit coming from where I grew up.
Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Rich for entering the Whiskey Ring!
