FIRST FARMERS-DISTILLER LICENSE IN MASSACHUSETTS ISSUE FEBRUARY 26TH, 2003 TO

question for the future. Issued License Number FD-1 on February, 26th, 2003,
Nashoba Valley offers a wonderful selection of distilled spirits in addition to
its wines and beers. Combining our award winning artistry of fermentation with
years of experience in distillation, Nashoba Valley produces and sells some of
the finest brandies, eau de vie, cordials and vodka (distilled from 100% apples)

" Whiskey
Released November 14th, 2009
Boston Globe Feature 1/31/2010
|
Our very first bottling of a single
malt whiskey represents our way
of stimulating our commitment
to excellence and quality.
Carefully selected oak cask
from our winery, imparts the
unique quality of our wines to the
tradition of the world’s favorite
sprit. Over the past five years,
the contents of this bottle
matured quietly in our cellars
developing the rich golden color
and subtle smooth flavors of a
fine American Whiskey.
Our whiskey is 100 percent barley malt oak aged for a minimum of 5 years in
new and used oak cask. We have used the actual wood staves from the barrels that our
whiskey was aged in to create and unique and authentic closure. The used winery cast gives our malt a slight
hint of fruit and generous oak flavors. As of this date, our
single malt whiskey generally is very aromatic, smooth and medium bodied, with
palates that range from lushly complex to floral delicacy.
Our malt whisky is produced, aged and bottled at
our distillery in Bolton, Massachusetts. |
