This 90-proof double-distilled four-grain bourbon is made with New York corn, malted barley, rye, and wheat. It carries notes of baked sweets, fresh corn, vanilla beans, wildflowers, and maple syrup. Bottled in partnership with Bennington 250, our "Battle for Bennington" tribute honors the Revolutionary War Battle that Thomas Jefferson called “the first link in that chain of successes which issued in the surrender at Saratoga." It is appropriate to say it was the Battle for Bennington because the target of the British raid was a Continental Army supply depot where the Bennington Battle Monument now stands. The raiders never got there. They were soundly defeated on August 16, 1777, just over the New York line, by a combined force of Vermonters and militiamen from surrounding states under Gen. John Stark and the Continental regiment of Green Mountain Boys under Col. Seth Warner. Bennington was a critical Patriot victory that led to the British surrender at Saratoga two months later, which changed the course of the war – and the history of the world.
