Distilled in Greenport, New York, from 100% New York-grown fruit and grain, and bottled at 47% ABV in a 750mL bottle. Its label says it plainly: spirits distilled from rye and cherry.

The rye side is Danko rye grown by Thor Oechsner, malted and smoked with cherrywood by Valley Malt, then milled, fermented, double pot distilled and aged more than two years in a Kelvin Cooperage cask at Matchbook. The cherry side is an eau de vie distilled in a single pot-column run from Bittner-Singer Orchard cherries — fermented two weeks with champagne yeast, never sweetened — then rested three years in glass demijohns before blending. The blend finishes in a cask that previously held porter stout and sherry. Matchbook built the whole production around esters, the fruity, floral compounds created at every step from fruit to fermentation to barrel, so the two spirits intertwine rather than sit side by side.
