Bottle Size: 200mL

Proof: 100

Tasting Notes: Unsurprisingly, the winter forest aromas are quite prevalent here. Surprisingly, they are rather enjoyable. Just a whiff of smoke, lots of fresh pine, and plenty of lingering candied fruits.

The palate is viscous for 100 proof, drinking more like a mash-up of a clarified old fashioned sweetened with agave syrup and a gin-based cocktail. There is plenty of fruit here, saturating like a wine finished bourbon, but trailing more traditional with vanilla, light spice, and gentle oak.

The finish is quick and pleasant, truthfully more layered than I’d have expected. While perfumed from the spruce and plum, it continually reveals depth and texture that rival many other finished whiskeys in the market.

Product Description: For those daring to challenge their taste perception, we bring you our most exquisite Spruce & Goose. Made with handpicked white spruce and a locally roasted goose. These distillates are blended with dried plums and a 2 year old column distilled bourbon whiskey. The spruce is super fresh and piney, balanced by the heavier notes of roasted goose and the candy fruit notes of delicate plum.

The Story: Tamworth’s water comes from the Ossipee Stratified Aquifer, one of the purest sources on the East Coast. More importantly, it lies on granite bedrock — you cannot frack in granite, so this pure source is safe from that type of industrial pollution.
 
Our distillery test kitchen serves as a hub for experiments and innovations that fuel our creativity. Many of the ingredients used are sourced from local farms, or our own backyard botanical gardens. For flavors that can only be found in the wild, we’ll forage from our other backyard­–the rich New Hampshire wilderness.
 
Each small batch, scratch made spirit is a taste of our home, and a result of the work of partners large and small: from honeybees and gardeners to farmers and distillers. Our recipes are born from the crops we grow and the histories buried in the soil below.
