The Craft: Understanding the Pours
F.E.W. Rye
Hailing from the birthplace of Prohibition, this rye is anything but quiet. It’s crafted with a unique wine yeast that brings out bright notes of stone fruit and citrus to balance the signature peppery spice of the grain.
Knob Creek Wheated Bourbon
By swapping the traditional rye in the mash bill for wheat, Knob Creek creates a much softer, sweeter profile. Expect deep notes of charred oak and vanilla with a smooth, lingering finish that defines the “wheated” style.
Redbreast 12 Year
A legend in the world of Irish Whiskey. As a “Single Pot Still” spirit, it is made from a mix of malted and unmalted barley, giving it a signature creamy mouthfeel and a complex, spicy-sweet character that sets it apart from standard blends.
Breckenridge Rum Cask Blend
This award-winning high-rye bourbon spends its final aging months in barrels that previously held Colorado spiced rum. The result is a “cheeky” twist on a classic, adding layers of dark sugar, cacao, and tropical spice to the bourbon’s base.
The Point Nine Experience: The Connoisseur’s Choice
This flight is best enjoyed slowly on the patio as the sun begins to set. It is the perfect companion to our more robust menu items—try it alongside our French Dip handheld. It’s a sophisticated way to toast to the weekend and enjoy a “top-shelf” experience right here in Andover.
