Black Button Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey

Black Button Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey

Jason Barrett grew up working alongside his grandfather in a Rochester, New York button factory that his family has owned and operated since 1922. For four generations, the factory has produced high-quality suit buttons worn by "Presidents, Popes, Kings, and businessmen the world over." After graduating school and working as a business consultant in Washington, DC, Barrett returned to his hometown of Rochester to follow his passion and, at the age of only 24, open up a craft distillery, which is now the first to exist in Rochester since Prohibition. Fittingly, the distillery is named Black Button Distilling Barrett is colorblind, and his family used to joke that if he were to take over the family business, theyd have to start producing only black buttons. Specializing in grain-to-glass spirits, Black Button Distillery produces over 1,350 bottles of world-class spirits each week, and every batch is distilled, aged, bottled, labeled, and hand-numbered at the distillery. "We have a big philosophy here that the closer you are to nature, the better," says Barrett. "Higher quality grains grown in specific ways yield better products." Black Button 4 Grain is a grain-to-glass bourbon made from a locally sourced mash bill of 60% corn, 20% wheat, 9% rye, and 11% malted barley. A distinctly Rochester New York spirit, crafted onsite at the Black Button distillery. The grains for the bourbon are shipped to the distillery from a farm just south of their facility. This bourbon is a bona fide craft spirit. Pick up your bottle today!
