40 WINKS WHISKEY SERIES (Retiring Winter 2022)
Forty winks is an idiom meaning “to get some sleep”. While our onsite produced Bourbon & Whiskey are resting (aka taking 40 winks) we are offering a series of small batch releases, that have been aged onsite, then finished and bottled for our customer’s enjoyment. The 40 Winks Whiskey Series is being phased out this winter and being replaced with our G-Force series blended Whiskey.
American Oak Barrel. ENJOY!
40 Winks Cinnamon Whiskey
This Cinnamon Flavored Whiskey starts with a blend of bourbon mash aged in new American oak barrels. We use a cold distill method to lock in that fresh cinnamon flavor and then carefully blend only the cinnamon flavor concentrate back into the base Whiskey to create this unique spirit. No sugars, artificial flavors or colorings are added to this spirit before or after distillation. ENJOY!
G-FORCE BLENDED WHISKEY SERIES
Our inhouse produced and blended whiskey
OCCASIONALLY (RAW SPIRIT) SERIES
These onsite produced “Bourbon & Whiskey mash” small batch releases are all uniquely individual. Variety in mash bills is the defining factor for this series. We will “occasionally” have spirits distilled from grain that may contain Rye, Wheat, Corn, Barley, Oats and/or Sorghum. If you enjoy a particular batch, grab it while you can as it may never be recreated. Be one of the first to be able to say “Why yes, I drink Occasionally!”
VODKAS
RFD VODKA
RFD Vodka is Onsite distilled and named after the Rockford airport (the Former Camp Grant) which the distillery overlooks. The crystal clear product starts with 100% corn which is multiple distilled, using a Column Still and then sent thru our onsite Bain Marie Still to control time on copper for a clean finish. The Vodka is then filtered using coconut shell activated carbon which “softens” the distillate and creates an even cleaner finish. We then “proof” the spirit to 40% alcohol by volume.
RFD CUCUMBER VODKA
This first RFD “From the Farm” Vodka Series highlights the flavors that are found in the Midwest and more specifically on our specialty crop farm. Our Cucumber Flavored Vodka is created onsite by cold distilling under vacuum using fresh cucumbers grown on our farm. This process results in a fresh, clean and crisp spirit with no artificial flavorings or added sugars.
RFD HORSERADISH VODKA
Tim went a bit crazy on this one when he combined our clean and crisp RFD Vodka and fresh Horseradish. This RFD “From the Farm” Horseradish Vodka is created onsite by cold distilling under vacuum using fresh Horseradish grown on our farm. This process results in an earthy, fresh, and slightly spicy spirit with no artificial flavorings or added sugars. This spirit elevates a Bloody Mary to the next level or adds a savory element to a Vodka Cocktail.
RFD GINGER VODKA
Tim is at it again combining our clean and crisp RFD Vodka and freshly ground Ginger. This RFD “From the Farm” Ginger Vodka is created onsite by cold distilling under vacuum using fresh Ginger, some grown on our farm. This process results in a fresh, clean and crisp spirit with no artificial flavorings or added sugars..
Rums
FLYING CIRCUIS RUM (RFD Distilled)
Silver Rum
Our Brazilian style Rum owes a great deal to the simple plant we call sugar cane! If we were in Brazil we would call it Cachaca. (but we are not) We use a quality evaporated cane juice and add a hint of molasses to round out the sweetness. Mixes beautifully with lime and a sugar cube or simple syrup.
Amber Rum
Our Caribbean style barrel strength Rum owes a great deal to the simple plant we call sugar cane! We use a quality Molasses to craft this beautiful spirit. Enjoy neat or in your favorite Rum cocktails.
Star Anise Rum
We use a quality evaporated cane juice and add a hint of molasses to round out the sweetness. Our Licorice Rum is created by Cold Distilling under Vacuum freshly ground Star Anise. This process results in a Fresh, Clean and Crisp spirit as no Artificial Flavorings are used.
Dutch 45
Sweet layers of caramel and candied fruits with a buttery mouth feel. Vanilla, pineapple and banana followed by citrus and fig & raisin. Finishes with a caramelized brown sugar.
Cootie Killer Moonshine (RFD Distilled)
The COVID 19 Pandemic of 2020 effected virtually every person on the face of the world in one way or another. After months of stress and hardships, we decided that people needed 2 things, a change and a good laugh.
So first, Barnstormer Distillery decided to take the experience gained in producing hand sanitizer and use some to think out of the box thinking to create a new limited edition special moonshine different from anything currently on the market. And secondly, give it a fun name to hopefully put a smile on your face.
Available as either Raw or Barrel Aged
