About this bottle
Established in 2007 in Sheffield, Massachusetts, Berkshire Mountain's spirits utilize corn from a farm situated a short distance from the stillhouse, with other grains procured from various New England locations. Their bourbon is created using a mash of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, and is then triple-distilled in a pot still.

Direct, simple, and very pleasing. It leaves thick legs in the glass. Fruity aroma. Sweet and smooth on the palate. Flavors of caramel, vanilla, green apple, and a cinnamon finish.
Not bad for a bourbon from Massachusetts. It tastes a bit young and had some off-notes when consumed neat, but the flavors were a pleasant, sweet corn-dominant profile when enjoyed with ice.
Highly oaky; muted rye spice; lacks sweetness; the nose is very light; not well-developed or intricate; very gentle; made with all locally sourced New England grains and corn from a nearby farm.
The aroma is sweet toffee. The flavor follows suit with creamy caramel on the palate. A quick finish with a mild spice that is very drinkable. Served neat.
It's smooth and easy to drink. After triple distillation, it brings to mind an Irish whiskey. The distillery is from my hometown; it's respectable stuff, and I'll back them!
