Entering the second barrel at a low proof point preserves vital congener oils that are typically stripped out during aggressive high-proof distillations. Unlike expressions relying on post-distillation additives or heavy caramel coloring for visual density, this Brooklyn-distillery blend relies entirely on double oak maturation to build its deep mahogany hue and structural weight. Retaining these natural fusel alcohols gives the high-rye mash bill a noticeable oiliness on the glass.
Primary aromas of roasted grain and toasted oak shift directly into dark caramel and bitter cocoa on the mid-palate, held together by a sturdy backbone of rye spice. In-house testing at USQ showed that the non-chill filtration keeps the mouthfeel rich and rounded rather than thin or hot at 92 proof. For a crisp, balanced Brooklyn Manhattan, our team recommends stirring 2 oz Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Bourbon with 1 oz sweet vermouth and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over block ice, strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with a brandied cherry.
