Co-founder with Steve Hindy of the Brooklyn Brewery, Tom Potter went on in 2008 to start the New York Distilling Company, in partnership with his son Bill and distilling expert Alan Katz. Their debut efforts, the “Dorothy Parker” gin and the “Perry’s Tot” gin, met with great success. The Jaywalk ryes take the trio even deeper into the process, for here they are not only making the whiskey but actually growing the grain from which it is made. Some years back, in collaboration with Cornell University, they rediscovered Horton rye, a 17th century variety native to New York. Having acquired a mere ten seeds, they set out to bring the heirloom grain back to life. It took five years of harvesting and replanting just to have enough grain to begin distillation, but today they have 200 acres in perpetual crop rotation in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. This Single Barrel is aged seven years and bottled at cask strength; its concentration of sugars makes for a range of aromas and flavors that give a new definition to "rye."
