{"product_id":"fort-hamilton-double-barrel-rye-whiskey","title":"Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Rye Whiskey","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFort Hamilton is a Brooklyn distillery on a mission to bring back New York Rye — the corn-free, rye-and-barley whiskey that was America's most popular spirit before Prohibition and the original base of the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. Founder Alex Clark, an English expat turned Brooklyn bartender and Revolutionary War obsessive, named it for the nearby army base; the \"Hearts of Oak\" on every label honors Alexander Hamilton's first artillery company. Double Barrel is the accessible entry point, and the name refers to two whiskeys rather than a finishing cask: roughly a quarter is Fort Hamilton's own New York straight rye, distilled from 90% New York-grown rye and 10% malted barley at Taconic Distillery in Stanfordville, while the balance is the celebrated 95% rye, 5% malted barley from MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Both enter the barrel at a low 120 proof to let the grain lead over the wood, age an average of three years in a mix of 30- and 53-gallon char #3 new American oak in a heated Brooklyn waterfront warehouse, then get married and proofed to 46% ABV (92 proof), non-chill filtered. Expect wintergreen, fresh-cut grass, and rye bread on the nose, opening into rye bread, molasses, cinnamon, and black pepper, finishing on pepper, coffee, and grass. It reads younger and grassier than the Single Barrel — which is exactly why it's built for cocktails: sipping-worthy, priced for mixing, and the honest base for a deeply authentic Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Rye Whiskey online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49742568849664,"sku":"C0010286L","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/FortHamiltonDoubleBarrel.jpg?v=1790396657","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/fort-hamilton-double-barrel-rye-whiskey","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
