New England Distilling is set to release Tidewalker, their Straight Bourbon Whiskey on Saturday.
According to the press release:
Tidewalker is a small batch, big barrel, wheated bourbon, aged for at least 2 years in new charred oak barrels. At 88 proof, it has notes and aromas of toasted oak, pecan, coffee, maple, dark chocolate, apricot, tobacco, green tea,
and caramel— with a long smooth finish.
The doors open at their distillery at 10 am. I’ve been waiting for this since January 2015, so I know where I plan to be Saturday morning.
I picked up two bottles this morning. Ned explained Tidewalker is distilled from 70% corn and 30% grain (predominantly wheat with barley). He said it was creamy and had notes of caramel. After tasting, I say it is soft as a mother’s kiss at bedtime.
