Pine Barrens

DISTILLERY OVERVIEW Long Island Spirits is the first distillery on the island since the 1800’s and Pine Barrens is the first American Single Malt Whisky to be distilled there. Producing a variety of American Whiskies and surrounded by over 5,000 acres of potato farms, the distillery is located on the North Fork in the heart of the wine region. The distillery is rich in history and tradition, dating back to the early 1900’s. Pine Barrens Whisky is named after the central Suffolk County, New York pine and wetland area, which once spread out over a quarter million acres and which is home to the Glacial and Magothy aquifer, which delivers the purest water in the United States. These are the same waters that are sourced for the single malt whiskies. DISTILLING PHILOSOPHY Instead of creating whisky from a regular mash, Pine Barrens uses an actual finished 10% ABV barley wine English styled ale beer that has a high hop count of 70 IBUs. The ale beer is traditionally brewed to its perfect drinkability, double pot distilled, and finally aged in small new American Oak casks to achieve an incredibly high quality whisky. The result is a spicy, rich whisky, with velvety-smooth maltiness and sweet hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and caramel qualities on the finish. The hoppy flavor also shines through, which beer aficionados will love, providing that same sweetness on the tongue and smoothness throughout.
