About the product: Manatawny Still Works’ distiller Max Pfeffer is an accomplished craft beer brewer, and Manatawny’s Four Grain whiskey shows the influence of his past work. Brewed in a Scottish style, Manatawny lauters the mash, removing the grain. After distilling first in a continuous stripping column, they take the remarkable step of adding grain back to the spirit run in their hybrid pot still. This unique approach boosts grain flavors ahead of aging the whiskey in #3 char, 53 gallon, 18-month seasoned barrels from Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville. The resulting whiskey offers pleasantly balanced flavors in a combination that just makes sense. Bridging the Atlantic Ocean, the whiskey unites American innovation with Scottish tradition.
