Far North Spirits Rosen Single Varietal Straight Rye Whiskey

Far North Spirits Rosen Single Varietal Straight Rye Whiskey

Far North Spirits Rosen Single Varietal Straight Rye Whiskey
47%-ABV, 750ml bottles.
About Far North Spirits:

Far North Spirits is a field-to-glass, estate distillery located on a fourth-generation family farm in extreme northwestern Minnesota, just miles from the Canadian border. It is known for growing nearly all of its own non-GMO grains and producing a range of acclaimed spirits, including rye whiskey, bourbon, gin, and rum.

About the Distillery

Founded in 2013 by Michael Swanson, a fourth-generation farmer, and his wife Cheri Reese, Far North Spirits is the northernmost distillery in the contiguous United States. The core philosophy revolves around the concept of terroir (sense of place), emphasizing that grain variety and farming practices significantly impact the final flavor of the spirit.

  • Estate-Grown Grains: The distillery grows single-varietal rye (such as AC Hazlet and Oklon varieties) and heirloom corn on 1,000 acres of fertile, jet-black soil—the ancient seabed of glacial Lake Agassiz.
  • Sustainability: Far North Spirits practices regenerative agriculture, including no-till planting, cover cropping, and returning over 50 acres to native prairie for pollinator habitats. It is the first distillery to be certified as a Pollinator Partnership Bee Friendly Farm.
  • Production Process: Every step of production—milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and bottling—is carried out on-site using sustainable practices like in-floor radiant heating and natural cooling.

Featured Spirits and Products

Far North Spirits offers a variety of products, each with a Scandinavian-inspired name and distinct profile.

  • Roknar Minnesota Straight Rye Whiskey: This flagship rye whiskey is praised for balancing the spice of rye with richer notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla. It is available in various expressions, including Bottled-in-Bond and single varietals.
  • Bødalen Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A high-rye bourbon made with heirloom corn and Hazlet rye, known for having notes of sweet corn, candy apple, and savory, peppery tones.
  • Solveig Gin: Distilled with botanicals like juniper, fresh grapefruit peel, organic thyme, and dried lavender, this gin is described as fresh, citrusy, and bright, with a lingering cool finish. There is also an "Anna's Garden" gin variation featuring hibiscus and dill.
  • Gustaf Navy Strength Gin: A higher-proof gin (57% ABV).
  • Ã…lander Rum: Named for the rum-producing Ã…land islands, this Nordic-style rum comes in white, spiced, and barrel-aged options.

Reviews and Recognition

Reviewers and experts often highlight Far North Spirits' unique "grain-forward" approach, which is rare in an industry that typically uses commodity grains.

  • Whiskey Advocate and Forbes have featured the distillery and its products in articles, with Roknar receiving multiple awards.
  • Some reviewers note that while the use of smaller (15-gallon) barrels for aging can impart a strong oak character quickly, the resulting flavors are unique and "meditation-worthy" for those who enjoy complex, woodier profiles. The focus on single varietal ryes is considered a radical and innovative move in the industry.

About Lost Lantern Whiskey:

Lost Lantern is an award-winning independent bottler of American whiskey, founded by Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski, that sources unique whiskeys from small distilleries across the U.S., applying the traditional Scottish independent bottler model to the American market to highlight unique flavors, transparency, and independent distillers.

Key Aspects:

  • Mission: To "shine a light" on America's diverse whiskey landscape, promoting small producers and unique expressions.
  • Product Style: Known for transparency, non-chill-filtered, natural color, and often cask strength releases, featuring single casks and unique blends.
  • Diversity: Explores various American whiskey styles, including bourbon, rye, and increasingly American single malts, using unique finishes (like apple brandy) and grains.
  • Recognition: Named Independent Bottler of the Year (2023) and recognized for innovation,.
  • Location: Operates from Vergennes, Vermont, with a production facility and tasting room.

How They Work:

  1. Sourcing: Founders travel the U.S., discovering hidden gems and unique barrels from independent craft distillers.
  2. Selection & Bottling: They select standout barrels, often highlighting specific distillery stories and regional characteristics.
  3. Release: Offerings include single casks (bottled directly from one barrel) and complex blends (like their American Vatted Malt), often grouped into themed collections (e.g., Scotch Lovers' Collection, Finish Collections).

In essence, Lost Lantern acts as a curator for American whiskey, bringing exceptional, lesser-known spirits to a wider audience.

Smokin' Tails Distillery is a small-batch craft distillery in Phelps, New York, founded by Master Distiller Peter Cheney (a Moonshiners: Master Distiller winner) and partners, focusing on high-quality spirits made from local grains, including moonshine (like Mooseknuckle) and whiskey, known for its tasting room, community events, and unique spirit offerings like The Undertaker's Spirits. They create spirits like Sinister Cinnamon, Apple Pie, and various whiskeys, emphasizing local ingredients and craft production, and are part of the Finger Lakes craft beverage trail.

Key Aspects:

  • Founder: Peter Cheney, a winner on the Discovery Channel's Master Distiller show, brings his award-winning expertise to the distillery.
  • Location: Phelps, New York, a spot in the Finger Lakes region.
  • Focus: Small-batch, high-quality spirits using locally grown New York State grains.

  • Community: Part of the "Phelps Triangle," connecting with nearby wineries and breweries, and fostering a strong local vibe.

After years of Peter making his moonshine in the hearse garage and all of us friends taking full advantage of his creations; Chris jokingly said, “We should open a distillery!”  We all proclaimed, “Pete’s moonshine is like nothing we’ve ever tasted before!” After winning Master Distiller in March 2020, Chris’s jokes soon became a reality. Six months later, during a worldwide pandemic, Smokin’ Tails Distillery was born.

We received our federal liquor license rather quickly but waited with anticipation for over six months for any word from New York State Liquor Authority. On a chilly Fall Day, we finally received a letter stating a few small things needed to be completed and we thought we were in the clear!!! However, we soon realized the final items needed were pictures of our Tasting Room and Still Room….tasks we hadn’t even started!!! Not to mention we only had 15 DAYS to get everything accomplished!! With the help of family and friends, we built our much-loved black walnut bar and created a beautiful cozy Tasting Room in just 13 days!! Something we are very proud of.

While we opened during a Worldwide pandemic, we had no idea where this business would take us. Let alone how quickly new friendships would be made with so many people, not only from New York State but nationwide. We truly thrive on making our customers feel like family, but most importantly creating high quality spirits using locally grown grains. Without a high-quality product none of this would exist. Pete, Sharon, Chris and Lisa have nothing but gratitude for our friendship, but even more for this crazy adventure we have with Smokin’ Tails Distillery!!! Shine On Everyone!

George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon Whisky Charcoal Chill Filtered

George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon Whisky Charcoal Chill Filtered

George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon Whisky Charcoal Chill Filtered
45%-ABV, 750ml bottles.
About George Dickel:

George Dickel refers to both a German-American businessman, George Augustus Dickel (1818-1894), and the popular brand of Tennessee whiskey named in his honor, known for its smooth profile and distinctive charcoal-mellowing process, following Scottish tradition by dropping the 'e' in 'whisky'. He started as a Nashville merchant and liquor wholesaler, eventually establishing the Geo. A. Dickel & Co. to distribute whisky, which later led to the creation of the Cascade Hollow Distillery, now owned by Diageo.

About the Man (George A. Dickel)

  • Origins: Born in Germany, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1844 and settled in Nashville, Tennessee.
  • Business: He became a successful liquor retailer and then a major wholesaler, distributing whisky across the South.
  • Legacy: Though he preferred anonymity, his name became synonymous with the whisky brand he helped market, with the distillery eventually adopting his name.

About the Whisky (George Dickel Tennessee Whisky)

  • Tennessee Whisky: It's a major producer of Tennessee whisky, following the Lincoln County Process.
  • Unique Process: Unlike many others, Dickel chills its whisky to 40°F before filtering it through sugar maple charcoal, creating a smoother, less acidic spirit, notes George Dickel.
  • Scottish Style: Following Scottish tradition, the brand spells it "whisky," not "whiskey".
  • Ownership: The brand is owned by Diageo, a global spirits company.

WHISKY'S BEST KEPT SECRET

THE HOME OF GEORGE DICKEL

It takes an extraordinary place to produce an extraordinary whisky. Distilled for generations in the hills of Cascade Hollow, a sip of our whisky is years in the making. To find us is to pay homage to our legacy and experience our passion, our pride and our way of whisky. Cheers to those who know.

Our whisky is made with the freshest water from the cascade spring and the trusted craftsmenship of the people who call our distillery home.

1870: the beginning

Learning from our heritage

Born 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. Dickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County, George Dickel bought a large share.

Born from a belief that whisky made in the winter months produced a mellower sip, our liquids were always chilled to 40 degrees before charcoal filtering for a smooth yet complex taste.

Since the very beginning, our unique spelling of ‘whisky’ without the ‘e’ speaks to the passion from which our brand was born. A drive to rethink American whiskey and elevate the experience to rival the world’s finest scotch whiskies. To this day, we continue the tradition of bringing new perspectives to our liquid legacy.

Always brimming with new ideas, the WhistlePig team focuses on audacious experimentation, big age statements and bold experiments.
