Black Button - Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey

When Black Button began in 2012, they were one of the first farm distilleries in New York State. This meant that when Jason Barrett, their President and Master Distiller, made their first batch of bourbon, it was not only the first produced in Rochester since Prohibition, but a 100% New York State Bourbon. All their corn, wheat, rye, and barley are grown in the Finger Lakes, just a short drive from the distillery. Even their water is sourced from Hemlock Lake in the Finger Lakes, gaining its purity by being filtered through the limestone and shale formations of western New York, resulting in a taste that cannot be found anywhere else. Finally, they source the highest quality American Oak barrels from their partners at Adirondack Barrel Cooperage. These local sources, their team’s artistry at the still, and their unique climate all contribute to creating the finest New York State Bourbon right in Rochester, NY.
