Companies that run both a brewery and distillery \u2014 a brewstillery, if you will \u2014 are fairly common now. New Holland, Dogfish Head, Rogue, Southern Tier, and Anchor immediately come to mind, but more than 150 others are registered. That doesn\u2019t even factor in interesting collaborations<\/strong><\/a> between brands. You don\u2019t hear much about wine and spirits combos, though, and that\u2019s what Ammunition Wine and Whiskey brings to the table. <\/p>\n

Ammunition Wine and Whiskey<\/h2>\n

Ammunition started with their wine. The simplest description I can give is, \u201cgreat wine at a perfectly reasonable price.\u201d I\u2019m far from a wineficionado, but I know my way around adult grape juice, and Ammunition wine is ridiculously approachable while avoiding being a one-note wonder that other easy-to-drink wines are. There\u2019s just a fun level of complexity without it being overwhelming. <\/p>\n

More important than bottled fruit \u2014 Ammunition has unleashed two whiskeys on the world. And you guessed it, they\u2019re finished in Ammunition wine barrels. Someone was clearly paying attention to, \u201cReduce. Reuse. Recycle.\u201d when they were a kid.<\/p>\n

Ammunition Straight Bourbon <\/h2>\n

The first is Ammunition Straight Bourbon Whiskey<\/strong><\/a>, a blend of 2, 3, and 4-year-old whiskeys that\u2019s then finished for at least three months in their ex-Cabernet barrels. As you can see from the cocktail photo below, my bottle is nearly gone already. And with all the liquor sitting around the office\u2026 that\u2019s saying something.<\/p>\n

For you mash bill geeks out there, Ammunition\u2019s bourbon is 60% Corn, 25% Wheat, 10% Rye, 5% Malted Barley. You read that right \u2013 wheat and rye in the same bottle. I don\u2019t know of any other bourbons that combine the two, although I\u2019m sure they\u2019re out there somewhere. <\/p>\n

Ammunition Rye<\/h2>\n

Similarly, Ammunition Rye Whiskey<\/strong><\/a> is a blend of 2, 3, and 4-year-old whiskey but this time aged in Ammunition Sonoma Pinot Noir. They keep it spicy with 95% rye, but it somehow plays quite nicely with the sweetness of the Pinot. It\u2019s stellar in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned; just pare back the vermouth or sugar a tad.<\/p>\n

New York Sour Recipe<\/h2>\n

If you really wanna get nuts<\/strong><\/a>, make yourself a New York Sour with Ammunition bourbon and \u201cEqualizer\u201d red blend. I know it sounds strange, but it\u2019s a fun change of pace and will get people talking.<\/p>\n
