Florida Whiskey Distillers Team Up On A Blended American Whiskey

The Florida Craft Spirits Association (FCSA) recently teamed up a number of its distilleries to produce Florida Bastard, the state’s first whiskey blend.

Florida Bastard, according to those behind it, heralds from St. Augustine Distillery, St. Petersburg Distillery, Dark Door Distilling, Manifest Distilling, Marlin and Barrel Distillery, Loggerhead Distillery, Kozuba & Sons Distillery, and Loaded Cannon Distilled Spirits. It is described as being “a blend of bourbon, straight rye whiskey, straight rye finished in maple syrup barrels, and American Single Malt. The blended whiskeys range from 7 years to a rapid aged whiskey.”

The whiskey is being made available through RackHouse Whiskey Club, an online whiskey retailer, which will allow for greater distribution outside of the state.

“We at the Florida Craft Spirits Association are thrilled to make Florida Bastard available to a wider audience, and we couldn’t have a better partner for this initial release,” said David Cohen, FCSA president, in a prepared statement. “We look forward to getting this unique, one-of-a-kind whiskey out to whiskey enthusiasts across the U.S.”

Florida Bastard is pricing at $85 and is expected to ship in mid-December. It is said of the origins of this whiskey that it “ells the story of the incredible distillers across our great state. Like all legendary bastards, this whiskey was born from multiple homes ranging from Amelia Island to Bradenton and points in between.”
