THE ALTON CLASSICS
The character of all the Alton’s whiskeys lies in the making of the spirit, from the quality of the grains to the spectacular water of the estate, to the final distillation in our small copper stills, from which only the heart is kept for maturation in white American oak casks.

Colonial Craftmanship and New-Age Techniques
THE ALTON BOURBON WHISKEY
With its radiant topaz hue and the scent left in the air, the Classic Alton Bourbon immediately presents itself as a pleasant and stimulating experience.
Elegantly floral while complacently freezing, the aromas of vanilla, caramel, fondant, and coconut beckon the nose, followed by a smoky, complex permeation of the palate that results in a clean, refined, and rich full finish.
Predominantly corn with a touch of rye and serious aging behind it, the Classic Alton Bourbon binds together quintessential colonial craftsmanship with the best techniques in new age distillation deserving the redefinition of American Whiskey while innovating it to a high level of quality.

THE ALTON RYE WHISKEY
There is no better example to describe the evolution of the craft distiller movement than realizing what happened in the American Rye Whiskey phenomenon.
Led by enlightened masters, Craft Distillers have managed to change the Rye Whiskey reputation to become the No.1 choice of whiskey lovers in the world.
It’s nice to see this when it happens, in the arts it’s called Renaissance. In our case, in addition to the use of the local high quality winter rye and the fantastic characteristics of the Catskill water, the sour mash and adding a small amount of malted rye have translated our desired goal into pleasant reality.
