Shays’ Rebellion American Whiskey is a unique whisky made in collaboration with the Sam Adams brewery. Start by triple distilling a batch of Samuel Adams Cinder Bock, a fiery Rauch Bock beer. The resultant whiskey made from this beer was then aged in Samuel Adams Utopias casks for nearly three and a half years, at which point the team at Berkshire Mountain Distillers felt it had finally reached perfection. Shays’ Rebellion American whiskey maintains the smokiness and malt character of the Cinder Bock that it was made from, but finishes with port and dried fruit notes from the Utopias casks that it was aged in, resulting in a mature, complicated and delicious whiskey.
