Review:
287 Single Malt Whiskey is from Still the One Distillery in Port Chester, NY which is only 25 miles from my home. I have dropped by the distillery twice in the last year. The first time there was big event going on so I could not get in. The second time, the distillery was on a shifted schedule due to the Pandemic of 2020.
Still the One Distillery is a local NY (and close to NYC) distillery that produces the following expressions; 914 Bourbon, No. 3 Wheat Whiskey, No. 4 Rye Whiskey, 287 Single Malt Whiskey, 9A Single Malt Whiskey, STO Comb Vodka, STO Barreled Gin, STO Rum, and STO Jarhead Gin. The name “287” comes from the highway that connects the distillery and the Captain Lawrence Brewery. I have also reviewed No.4 Rye Whiskey from the distillery and the review can be found here under NYC.
This expression was developed in 2013, is aged 18 months in American oak barrels, and is bottled at 45% abv. It has a fresh nose and a sweeter taste/finish than I expected. I would not say it is good or bad, it is just different and I did enjoy it. I am not sure if they have a sample pack of small bottles but I hope to make another trip up. 287 Single Malt has also won the Silver NY International Spirits Competition in 2018.
Priced around $60 and is nice stuff if you like this type of flavor profile and want to buy local. At the price point you could buy scotch.
