Just in time for chillier days and the holiday season, Bluebird Distilling is excited to
announce the release of two new limited edition spirits —
Barrel Rested
American Gin, an American style gin rested in Four Grain Bourbon and
Wheat Whiskey barrels, and Blueberry Brandy, made using
locally grown blueberries, and aged in lightly charred, new American oak
barrels.
Treat yourself or the imbiber in your life to a bottle of one of
these small-batch spirits while supplies last.
The barrel rested gin will
be released at the Phoenixville distillery at 1pm, Sunday November 12th and
will be limited to 200 bottles. The release will be celebrated with live music,
specialty cocktails, a guest appearance from Waffles and Wedges Food Truck, and
more.
The gin base spirit is
distilled from scratch and is then redistilled with a propriety blend of
citrus, juniper, and botanicals.
The American style gin is then rested in
freshly dumped Four Grain Bourbon and Wheat Whiskey barrels for one year.
The
limited release spirit will be available for $44.99/bottle.
“The Barrel Rested American
Gin is a marriage of epic proportions,” says Jared Adkins, Bluebird Distilling
Founder and Master Distiller. “The aging process awakens the gin to boast
velvety layers of vanilla, citrus, honeysuckle, candy and spice.”
The limited release of 150
375ML bottles of Blueberry Brandy, priced at $39.99, will be split between the
Phoenixville Distillery and the retail store located at the 17th Street
entrance of The Shops at Liberty Place on November 24th. Both
locations will open at 9:30am offering holiday shoppers an exciting alternative
to traditional Black Friday shopping.
The blueberries were
sourced from a local farm in Hammonton, New Jersey. They
were crushed, fermented, and distilled down to a delicate blueberry base spirit
on-site. The liquid was then aged in lightly charred new American oak barrels
for two and a half years.
“This Brandy is a passion
project turned work of art,” says Adkins. “The aging process caramelizes the
barrels' sugars fusing the light blueberry spirit with oak -- creating
tantalizing notes of blueberry, vanilla, and crème brûlée.”
Bluebird Distilling is a craft
distillery that produces small batch whiskies (that includes a limited release
Wheat Whiskey, Four Grain Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, and White Rye Whiskey) and
other amazing craft spirits such as Juniperus Gin, Vodka, Sugarcane Rum, and
Dark Rum. The distillery and tasting room are located at 100 Bridge
