Mash bill
- Corn70%
- Rye25%
- Malted barley5%
70% corn, 25% rye, 5% malted barley. This is Taconic's house bourbon recipe, made from New York-grown grain with a quarter-share of rye. Taconic distills it below 160 proof so more of the grain's flavor carries into the spirit.

Why it's craft
Bottled in bond is a federal guarantee: the whiskey was distilled in one season at one distillery, aged at least four years under bond and bottled at 100 proof, and here that distillery is Taconic's own on the Coughlin family farm in Stanfordville. Its barrels rest in shipping containers rather than a traditional rickhouse. Paul and Carol Ann Coughlin started the distillery in 2013 under New York's farm distillery license, and it still runs on New York-grown grain and the farm's spring water.
