Crafting Bourbon and Rye Whiskey, Pennsylvania-Style
Welcome to the heart and soul of Hawk Mountain Distillery, where the art of crafting bourbon and rye whiskey intertwines with the rich tapestry of Pennsylvania’s agricultural heritage. Our journey is one of passion, tradition, and a deep-rooted commitment to our local community and environment.
A Commitment to Local
Our story begins in the fields and farms of Pennsylvania, where the ingredients for our exceptional spirits are nurtured. We believe that the essence of a great whiskey starts with the quality of its ingredients. That’s why we grow all of our grains and botanicals from within the state.
1. Grain Selection
The foundation of our whiskey lies in the careful selection of grains. Our journey begins with Pennsylvania-grown corn, rye, and barley – the building blocks of our bourbon and rye whiskey. These grains are meticulously chosen for their flavor profiles, ensuring they embody the unique characteristics of our region.
2. Sustainable Farming
We take pride in our sustainable farming practices, which prioritize the health of the land and the environment. Our commitment to responsible agriculture not only produces the best ingredients but also helps to preserve the beauty of Pennsylvania’s countryside for generations to come.
3. Small-Batch Distillation
Our master distiller employs time-honored techniques combined with modern craftsmanship to transform these grains into spirits of exceptional quality. Our small-batch distillation process ensures that every drop of whiskey is infused with the character and complexity that defines Hawk Mountain Distillery.
4. Aging in Pennsylvania Oak Barrels
The aging process is where our spirits truly come to life. We age our bourbon and rye whiskey in locally sourced Pennsylvania oak barrels, allowing them to mature and develop their distinct flavor profiles. The climate and terroir of our region contribute to the unique characteristics of our spirits.
5. Bottling and Sharing
After years of patient aging, our whiskey reaches its peak. We bottle our spirits by hand, with each bottle telling the story of our dedication to quality and authenticity. Every sip is a testament to our commitment to crafting Pennsylvania’s finest bourbon and rye whiskey.
Community and Conservation
Our journey isn’t just about crafting exceptional spirits; it’s also about giving back to the community that has supported us from the beginning. We are proud to be a part of Pennsylvania’s agricultural heritage, and we actively support local initiatives and conservation efforts to ensure that our beautiful region thrives for generations to come.
