Minneapolis-based Tattersall produces a monstrous line of craft spirits — all of which is produced in home from grains and different produce (apples, berries, and so on.) from Minnesota and close by states.

The operation lately despatched us three of its choices for assessment, together with a rye whiskey and two bitter liqueurs. Let’s dig in.

Tattersall Straight Rye Whiskey – 100% Minnesota rye, aged at the least 2 years in regionally sourced, charred white oak barrels. It’s heady and aggressive on the nostril, however not off-putting, providing some intriguing notes of maple syrup, nutty sherry, and a moderated cereal observe beneath. That recent granary character endures on the palate, but it surely’s not overwhelming, balanced by a winey sweetness, some sharp citrus components, and a nutty almond observe, all of which work collectively to supply a way of steadiness. Sadly the perfect years of this spirit lie forward of it, as issues stay underdeveloped. There’s nonetheless loads of wooden to go round on the end, which seems to be a bit astringent, each of which remind you clearly of this whiskey’s relative youth. 100 proof. B / $37 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]

Tattersall Amaro – Produced from a mix of 26 botanicals. The speedy observe on the nostril is of cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, and licorice, making for a reasonably candy however partaking entree to the spirit. Notes of cloves give the palate some chew, with nutmeg, extra cinnamon, and Port-like raisin notes all dominating to numerous levels. There’s some conventional gentian bitterness right here, however frankly it may stand as much as a complete lot extra; the end stays decidedly on the candy facet, providing some bitter orange peel to liven issues up, then falling again on a sugary vanilla and licorice sweet observe that provides the entire affair the impression of root beer reasonably than a conventional amaro. 60 proof. B / $30 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]

Tattersall Fernet – Crafted from over 30 botanicals, spices and herbs, then aged in Tattersall’s bourbon barrels. It’s a stable, pretty traditional fernet, its nostril heavy with cloves, ginger, and many bitter gentian. The palate finds room for a little bit of sweetness, greater than the nostril hints at anyway, its bitter core plumped up with spiced plums, darkish chocolate, rhubarb, and a mixture of vacation spices. The end is easy and lastingly bitter, although it’s by no means fairly as daunting as a few of the classics, corresponding to Fernet-Branca. I’d sip on it when within the temper for one thing a bit lighter in tone. 70 proof. A- / $32 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]
