Distillery: Cooper River Distillers

Touting the title of the “first whiskey to be mashed, fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled-for-sale in New Jersey since Prohibition,” Cooper River’s rye is made from a traditional mash-bill of 63% rye, 23% corn, and 14% malted barley. They allow it to ferment for six days with their rum yeast before moving to their copper alembic still and then it spends a year in new charred white oak. Note: As of May 5, 2018 this distillery is closed.

Cooper River Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Browned butter, cinnamon-raisin toast, nougat, a newly cut tree in the rain.

Palate: Sweet, rich cherry wood chips come off this spirit right off the bat. A beautiful caramel note follows behind, continuing as you take your first sip. Those wood chips return, but now they’re deliciously smoky as if you just started up some BBQ. In fact, this whiskey is all brown sugar, smoked meats, and spicy wood as it goes down smoothly.

Finish: A rich, spicy finish.

Distillery Information

Cooper River Distillers is the first legal distillery in Camden, NJ ever! They began producing Petty’s Island Rum in April of 2014, and added Driftwood Dream Spiced Rum, Rye Oak Reserve Aged Rum, and Silver Fox Rye to the lineup in early 2015. In 2016 they added Single Run Series Whiskey, Copper & Vine Garden State Brandy, and Cooper River Rye Whiskey to their lineup, and in February 2017 they debuted Cooper River Bourbon Whiskey – a delicious, old school, pot-still bourbon distilled from New Jersey-grown corn & rye.
