Griffo Stony Point Whiskey

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

On the nose, the Stony Point Whiskey main­tains a cer­tain sharp­ness that comes through dabs of cit­rus. On the palate, it exudes some­thing lus­cious with a promi­nent spice. This whisky sits heav­i­ly on the savoury side, giv­ing off a pep­pery and mouth water­ing fin­ish. If you love your whiskey grainy, then this is the drink for you. 

Pair­ings

For a full-bod­ied whiskey like the Grif­fo Dis­tillery Stony Point Whiskey, best pair it with hearty dish­es. This type of drink mar­ries well with rich, fat­ty dish­es like broiled salmon. They are also an excel­lent choice for bit­ter pair­ings such as strong cheeses such as Gor­gonzo­la Pic­cante and Gor­gonzo­la Dolce or some dark chocolate. 

Craft­ed with Care

Great spir­its come from great ingre­di­ents. Grif­fo Dis­tillery mils all nat­ur­al and hand-select­ed organ­ic corn and rye direct­ly into their ket­tle, allow­ing the grains to be kept in through dis­til­la­tion. The whiskey is dis­tilled through a 250-gal­lon, cus­tom-made cop­per pot still named Bet­ty. This crafts a soft and nut­ty, corn palate with a spicy rye fin­ish. Stony Point Whiskey is care­ful­ly aged in local bar­rels with both Amer­i­can and French oak to tune the curve and bal­ance the spir­it. It is not a doubt that qual­i­ty, fresh­ness and local­i­ty are at the fore­front in the mak­ing of every batch. 

Storage Instructions

Store your bot­tle upright in a cool, dark place, ide­al­ly between 15 and 20°C. Do not refrig­er­ate, as this liquor los­es its aro­ma and fla­vor with cold. To main­tain the moist­ness of the cork and pre­vent it from chip­ping, occa­sion­al­ly tilt your bot­tle hor­i­zon­tal­ly two to three times, then restore it to the upright posi­tion. Unopened bot­tles can last for an indef­i­nite amount of time, but the clos­er you get to the bot­tom third of the bot­tle, please con­sume quick­ly to pre­vent oxi­da­tion and taste alteration.
