The Pennsylvania Dutch came to America from Germany in the 17th century. This Dutch Malt Whiskey, made with traditional “Munich” style of malt, is a fitting tribute to those early pioneers whose rich traditions and enduring legacy still lives on today. Some of the first whiskey distilled in America hailed from this storied region, where what we ate and drank relied on what we planted and harvested. We’ve sourced our two-row barley from Deer Creek Malt House in Chester County, PA, for a depth of flavor only possible using traditional floor malting techniques. This malt has characteristics of caramelized nuts and toasted bread. A glass of New Liberty Dutch Malt whiskey begins with ripe fruit on the nose, followed by a subtle spice flavor that deepens to a lingering dark chocolate and coffee finish. Producer THIS IS OUR STORY At one time, more whiskey was produced in Pennsylvania than in Kentucky, and rye was the most popular whiskey in the United States. Rye whiskey is spicier, leaner, and more assertive than the rounder, sweeter bourbon or the lighter Canadian whisky. Rye’s taste inspired the creation of some of the most admired cocktails in mixology, such as the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. Ten years ago, only a small handful of rye whiskeys existed, but thanks to a growing interest in unique and historical whiskeys, bartenders and curious drinkers are increasingly seeking out the lost flavor of rye. Through our Heritage Collection, we at New Liberty Distillery are reinterpreting some of the brands that made Pennsylvania famous. We also are creating our own whiskey that will draw on local ingredients and display the skills of our master distiller, Robert Cassell. While we will distill many other great craft whiskeys, such as malt and bourbon, our passion will always be in making Pennsylvania rye whiskey once again world famous. OUR DISTILLERY New Liberty Distillery is located in a vibrant north Philadelphia neighborhood, just minutes from Center City. Our building once served as a stable, and much of its architecture, including the horse stalls, have been preserved. The building now provides a home to our custom-made still, as well as the rick house where we barrel age our whiskey. In addition to the working distillery, we also feature a beautiful bar and tasting room where you can sample our whiskey and enjoy craft cocktails created by our in-house mixologist Sam. Our Heritage Collection and New Liberty whiskeys, spirits-related gifts, and other locally sourced products can be purchased in our retail space.
