Last year, we teamed up with Hartman's Distilling Co. to offer the very first official bourbon of the WYRK Toyota Taste Of Country, and this year, it's back again.

It's Hartman Distilling Co.'s first bottled-in-bond bourbon

Bourbon drinkers are going to love this.  It's Hartman Distilling Co's very first bottled-in-bond bourbon.  If you're like me, you might be wondering what the difference is. Essentially that means that the bourbon was produced under federal regulations laid out in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.  It needs to be the product of just one distillation season. It cannot come from multiple distilleries (just one distiller) and has to all be stored in one location.  It must also be aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume).

This bourbon matches all of the qualifications.  It was made right here in Buffalo, NY at Hartman's Distilling Co. with Grain from local farmers. Then it was aged for 4 years and finally picked by people from WYRK and ECMC.

Every bottle helps out ECMC

Just like last year, a portion of the proceeds from every bottle sold of the special bourbon will be donated to help ECMC, Western New York's only level 1 trauma center.

Where can you get the new bourbon?

It's available now at liquor stores across Western New York and at Hartman's Distilling Co. ( 55 Chicago St, Buffalo, NY 14204).  Don't wait though, last year we sold out quickly and once these bottles are gone, they're gone for good. Some of the confirmed stores stocking it include:
