J. Carver Bottle Choices:
(please choose one per person on your reservation checkout)
-J. Carver Vodka: This is not your typical vodka! Handcrafted and slowly distilled from 100% Minnesota winter wheat, a sip yields hints of butterscotch on the nose ending with a rich, warm texture in your mouth. Always smooth. Never burns. Best consumed neat or in elegant cocktails. 80 proof
-J. Carver Gin: For many, this is "the first gin I ever liked", and it was designed that way! Handcrafted from J. Carver Premium Vodka and carefully distilled with a hand-selected mix of nine botanicals, traditional juniper is balanced with select citrus notes and anise. Best consumed neat or to compliment classic cocktails. 80 proof
-5 Year Hunt Club Double Barrel Rye: This limited release whiskey, aged over 5 years, is a "must try" for the rye connoisseur! After aging J. Carver Rye Whiskey for over 4 years, that spicy spirit is transferred into our seasoned Minnesota barrels that held our Apple Brandy based on cider from Minnesota-grown apples. The result is an intriguing mix of pepper from the rye balanced by subtle notes of caramel and vanilla with a silky smooth finish from the apple brandy. Best served straight. 80 proof
