In preparation for our recent March Hare's Twisted Tea Party, I hit our local distillery, right here in Bolton, MA - Nashoba Valley Spirits Yes, we have a distillery, and my neighbor and friend Marc Follit is their distiller.
He's created a couple of tea-infused whiskeys. The Tea Party Whiskey is their five year single malt rectified with tea. And the Bourbon Tea Party is their bourbon (duh) rectified with tea, and the addition of some orange peel. Very different profiles with the different base spirits.
Purists will probably clutch their pearls over 'flavored whiskey', but as a regular tea (iced or hot) drinker and a whiskey lover, these are right up my alley. I think they're well balanced, with the tea being a nice accent and not overwhelming. I've liked them since Marc first brought over an early sample when they were playing with the idea, and it was about time I bought the final products.
I also picked up their Stimulus Twenty 20 year American Single Malt. I had an early sample of this as well and I think it's good. You don't see a lot of 20 year old whiskey from craft distilleries.
