TREE SPIRITS

Hollerhorn Tree Spirits (Maple Distillates)

These unique spirits are categorized as “Spirit Specialty,” as they fall into an area of spirit distillation that is yet to have it’s own category. Our Tree Spirits are most akin to a rum in production. Rum uses sugar (molasses, cane, etc.) as the sugar source for fermentation. We use the same approach, but with maple syrup as the sugar source and with different fermentation practices. Our Tree Spirits are double distilled (twice rectified in a pot still) at no more than 160 proof. They are NOT a whiskey, which is a grain based mash bill.

Flamed Maple is aged in a new NYS White Oak Barrel, so the flavor that this Tree Spirit picks up is more comparable to what a whiskey would. Seedling, Sapling and Old Growth are aged in a freshly dumped (second use) bourbon barrel. This approach is similar to Tequila aging or the Single Malt Whiskey ageing process.

**Silver leaf** is a spirit made from maple syrup, yeast and water. It is an unaged spirit with very fruity and floral esters that contrast well with other spirits in this product line. By choosing to leave it at a slightly higher proof, we allow those esters to shine through, and rise to the nose more intensely.

GIN

Gin

Simply put, Gin has to be a minimum of 80 proof (40% abv) and possess the characteristic flavor of juniper berries. It is typically made from vodka as the base (which is most frequently a grain based Mash Bill) and is rectified to a high proof (190 proof) to make it neutral before being distilled again and infused with juniper and other signature botanicals.

whiskey

Single Malt Whiskey

By law, a Single Malt Whiskey has to be made from 100% Malt (Barley). That is always the Mash Bill. It is distilled at no higher than 160 proof, matured in barrels (casks) no larger than 700 liters, made at a single distillery in the same year, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof (40% abv). Many Single Malt Whiskies are aged in freshly dumped (used) Bourbon Barrels. Many are then finished in secondary or even tertiary barrels (typically dessert wine barrels like sherry, port, etc.). This approach to ageing was fairly unique 20 years ago, but now there is far more experimentation across spirit categories with multiple barrels used to finish spirits, in general.

All Malt Whiskey, like our Devil’s Bedroom, is made from 100% heavily peated malt (barley), and infused with Hot Habanero Honey. If it were not infused it could be called a Single Malt Whiskey.

FRUIT BRANDY

Fruit Brandy

The tradition of this style of spirit is to preserve the essence of the fruit. It was a stable method of harvest preservation when fruit was too abundant to consume or store well. At Hollerhorn, we use the French (Eau De Vie) and Austrian (Schnapps) traditions in our Brandy production; utilizing multiple yeast strains (including champagne yeasts) to highlight the aromatics of the fruit being featured. These brandies are double distilled on a pot still to no more than 160 proof (80% abv) to maintain the character of those fruits. They are then either proofed down to below 115 proof to be aged in barrels, or to be bottled unaged. Bottling at a minimum of 80 proof.

grappa

Grappa is a pomace Brandy. It is always made from grapes, and includes the pomace (stems, seeds, and skins) after pressing wine. This gives the spirit a very aromatic, and almost perfume quality. It can be bottled unaged, or it can be aged in a multitude of different barrels. We age our Grappa in New toasted (not charred) NYS White Oak Barrels, and Toasted NYS Black Cherry Barrels that have been custom made specifically for this spirit. Grappa is also distilled at no more than 160 proof to maintain the character of the grape pomace and aromatics.
