Mcclintock Maryland Heritage White Whiskey 750ml

Mcclintock Maryland Heritage white whiskey comes from a historically derived rye heavy mash bill from pre-prohibition western Maryland distilleries. Aged in the house for 24 hours in an oak barrel, this whiskey has the flavor of strong rye without the woody charcoal elements of barrel aging. This whiskey is a lighter version of traditional rye that goes down smooth in a cocktail or as a sipper.

Craft distilling is booming all across the country, and a significant number of these new, small producers are creating some delicious and interesting spirits, from whiskey to rum, gin to brandy. TasteCamp originated as a weekend-long immersion into lesser-known wine regions, having visited areas including Long Island, the Finger Lakes, Quebec, Virginia, Niagara, and Vermont. Over time, the concept of TasteCamp has evolved, so that not only do we explore wine, but we now also explore local beer, ciders, spirits, and food.

About 30 or so writers and wine industry people recently attended TasteCamp 2017, which was held in Maryland. Once again, we visited wineries, breweries, and distilleries, sampling much of what Maryland has to offer, and I found much to enjoy. In downtown Frederick, one of our visits was to the McClintock Distilling Company, which only opened in December 2016. Despite its youth, I was impressed with its concept, objectives, and existing products.

On the site of an old mechanic’s garage, they chose to open Mcclintock Maryland Heritage Distilling Company, which includes a distillery and tasting room. The distillery was named after McClintock Young, a famous inventor in the 19th century, who had over 100 patented inventions. With a passion for innovation, he also owned one of the first foundries in Frederick. And it is that passion for innovation that has inspired Tyler and Braeden.
