Monday Night Brewing in Atlanta Now Distills Bourbon, Rum, and Gin Called Sneaky Pete | Eater Atlanta

"At the brewery's West End and Berkeley Park taprooms, I learned they quietly launched Sneaky Pete, a new line of spirits developed by brewmaster and certified sommelier Peter Kiley. A passion project, Sneaky Pete includes a botanical gin, a seven-year-aged Kentucky straight bourbon, a six-year-aged rye, a rum blended from Trinidad and Barbados and aged in toasted American oak, and a vodka that’s distilled six times and triple-filtered through charcoal. Kiley worked with established distillers to learn blending, barreling, and aging techniques and tweaked botanicals for the gin and filtration/distillation for the vodka; bartender Tiffanie Barriere praised the balance and expression and created cocktails to showcase the line, including a blueberry gin fizz made with lemon and fresh blueberry purée topped with soda and an Old Fashioned made with the seven-year bourbon, Japanese brown sugar syrup, and angostura bitters. Bottles and pours are available in the taprooms, and the brewery says it is exploring distribution beyond the taprooms. Flavor notes provided: the gin is styled as an American dry with sweet citrus peels, juniper, and coriander and a finish of orris, angelica, and licorice root; the bourbon offers oak, vanilla, and clove with a toffee finish; the rye drinks like a classic rye, especially over ice or with an orange twist; the vodka is described as smooth with a silky finish; and the rum is noted as a toasted American oak–aged blend from Trinidad and Barbados." - Beth McKibben
