Distinguishing Features for the Discerning Enthusiast:
- Farm-to-Bottle Philosophy: Pine Tavern Distillery prides itself on its commitment to sourcing ingredients locally, with many of the raw materials for their spirits grown right on their Hidden Pond Farm. This dedication ensures a unique “Jersey Style” spirit.
- Estate-Grown & Local Ingredients: They utilize their own corn and honey, and even source malted barley from nearby Rabbit Hill Farm, highlighting their dedication to local agriculture.
- Diverse Spirit Portfolio: Their handcrafted spirits cater to a range of palates. Their “Muddy Run Jersey Style Spirits” line, named after the creek running through their property, includes small-batch rums, vodkas, and moonshines known for their bold and smooth profiles. They also offer “Fenwick’s New Salem Spirits,” including whiskeys, which are distilled in Kentucky and then barrel-aged and bottled at the distillery, paying homage to Salem, NJ founder John Fenwick.
- Award-Winning Offerings: Their dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed. For example, their Fenwick’s Rye Whiskey is a Single Barrel, 96-proof spirit aged at least two years, earning a 2022 NYISC Double Gold Medal. They also produce a unique BB62 Battleship NJ Honey Flavored Rum, a portion of whose sales benefit the USS New Jersey.
