100% New York from Grain-to-Glass
When Black Button began in 2012, we were one of the first farm distilleries in New York State. This meant, that when Jason Barrett, our President and Master Distiller, made our first batch of bourbon it was not only the first produced in Rochester since prohibition but a 100% New York State Bourbon. All our corn, wheat, rye, and barley are grown in the finger lakes just a short drive from the distillery. Even our water is sourced from Hemlock Lake in the Finger Lakes, gaining its purity by being filtered through the limestone and shale formations of western New York resulting in a taste that cannot be found anywhere else. Finally, we source the highest quality American Oak barrels from our partners at Adirondack Barrel Cooperage. These local sources, our team’s artistry at the still, and our unique climate all contribute to creating the finest New York State Bourbon right here in our hometown of Rochester, NY.
Our flagship Four-Grain Straight Bourbon whiskey has a mash bill of 60% Corn, 20% Wheat, 11% Malted Barley, and 9% Rye. Carefully aged for years and then bottled at 84 proof this is a complex and drinkable bourbon. On the nose pleasant oak meets sweet earthy spice, your first sip will bring baking spices, classic caramel, and vanilla, with a lingering spice and oak finish. Perfect for sipping neat or in a classic whiskey cocktail like an old-fashioned or a Manhattan. Keep it simple and let the bourbon shine through.
