This single-barrel rye whiskey was distilled and bottled by Fort Hamilton Distillery for First Fill Spirits (Saratoga Springs, NY USA) as a collaboration pick with America’s Turning Point Battles of Saratoga Non-Profit Organization. Their goal is to maintain and continue education about the Saratoga region. This is for the Battle of Saratoga’s 250th Anniversary, which will be held in 2027. This whiskey was bottled in 2025. There were 126 bottles in the release. Profits from every bottle sold go to the Non-Profit Organization Saratoga 250. Established in 2016 by veteran bartender Alex Clark to address the lack of traditional, pre-prohibition, Northeast American style whiskey, Fort Hamilton Distillery celebrates America’s earliest style of whiskey: New York rye. Fort Hamilton Distillery honors this historical whiskey by producing it in accordance with the rye of the time–from New York-grown rye without corn in the mash bill. Distilled from 100% New York-grown grain from a mash bill of 90% rye and 10% malted barley.
