J. Carver Distillery, the grain-to-glass Minnesota microdistillery located in Waconia, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the limited release of J. Carver 7-Year Brickyard Straight Bourbon Whiskey. As with the recently introduced 7-Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 7-Year Runestone Straight Rye, this fine whiskey offers the unique flavors of Minnesota grains and Minnesota barrels with the complexity of a carefully crafted, well-aged whiskey.
“J. Carver Distillery is located in beautiful Carver County, home to the historic Chaska brickyards, which produced the distinctive yellow ‘Chaska Brick’ churches and farmhouses up and down the Minnesota River,” stated Bill Miller, Founding Partner. “Likewise, our Brickyard Straight Bourbon uses local, similarly yellow corn, wheat and barley grown in towns along the banks of the Minnesota River. Based on Minnesota grains and aged in Minnesota barrels and hand-made and bottled here at our facility in Waconia, we are thrilled that Minnesota distilleries are adding to the history of Bourbon.”
J. Carver Distillery will be celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month and the first release of J. Carver 7 Year Brickyard Straight Bourbon with a first release party at J. Carver Distillery from 5:00-8:30 pm after the conclusion of Waconia’s Annual Nickle Dickle Day event, a town festival put on by Waconia’s Chamber of Commerce.
