Black Button Bourbon starts with a blend of New York State corn, wheat, malted barley, and rye. Once distilled, our blend enters beautiful Adirondack Cooperage Barrels hand charred to our unique specifications. We then age our barrels in one of three locations, all offering different temperature swings, air flows, and aging environments. Our distillers taste “families” of coming-of-age barrels, meaning that the barrels were laid down at the same time and will offer more likely similarities. The barrels that best express individual characters of spice, oak, or sweet notes are separated to allow us to better blend our signature bourbon. By striving to create more consistency, our customers can count on each Black Button batch being as good as — or better than — the last. 

Every once in a while, however, we are lucky enough to find a perfect expression of our unique Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey mash. Representing all three signature tasting notes of spice, oak, and sweet, these barrels become Black Button Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey. 

You can trust that when you purchase a bottle of our single barrel, it is the culmination of years of dedication to our craft and is a unique expression that will never be tasted again. Each of our 30-gallon barrels produces just a little more than 100 bottles, making these single barrels a truly exclusive product.
