Tuthilltown Spirits is New York's first whiskey distillery since prohibition, distilling some of America's most prized spirits. Their handmade bourbons, produced with locally sourced grain and fruit farmed less than 10 miles away, contain no added flavor or color and are not chill or carbon filtered. Tonic 01, originally sourced from heritage sugar shacks in the ancient maple orchards of Quebec, has a hint of raw bourbon flavor thanks to 6 to 9 months spent in New York State's Tuthilltown Distillery's charred American oak barrels.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMm7KEMt3W4txJ-S-RhFzYblZHu5P74uLdaQuJvFOOpPTEfld-9u2iF9JepcMWe0rpJhb4Xn5aAZrcfv6btaDzMxurRiASx9kaKNkNltk0BrR1faW2qL_YqpguwdAyP6izDxrKjH7rUyk/s1600/mikuni_24_large.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631609166863035042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMm7KEMt3W4txJ-S-RhFzYblZHu5P74uLdaQuJvFOOpPTEfld-9u2iF9JepcMWe0rpJhb4Xn5aAZrcfv6btaDzMxurRiASx9kaKNkNltk0BrR1faW2qL_YqpguwdAyP6izDxrKjH7rUyk/s400/mikuni_24_large.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 354px;" /></a><br />Bon Appetit says "Like we said, this is made for candied bacon.
