Ostreida, The First US Vodka Distilled With Oysters

Access to sustainably grown, super fresh oysters are one of our favorite perks of living in the Ocean State—after an evening of toasting ISCO’s first year in business over oysters and cocktails, our creative team got to thinking—what would happen if we combined this quintessential New England, all-season treat from the sea with our made-from-scratch spirits? When the answer turned out to be something so very delicious, we knew we’d have to share it with the world! 

To create Ostreida, we perform a distillation using our 100% organic corn neutral spirit and just-hauled-from-the-sea local oysters. Due to our unique process—the only oyster vodka we’ve ever heard of that actually runs a distillation with oysters as part of the process, instead of added in afterwards—the spirit picks up hints of savory brine and complex oyster aromas. We let the resulting distillate rest so the flavors can meld, then gingerly bring the proof down to 80. 

Ostreida Oyster Vodka captures the spirit of the ocean—notes of salty seacoast and savory minerality with a subtle hint of bivalve bouquet on the nose mix sublimely with our spirits’ signature buttery texture. Like waves of briny bliss lapping the shore, sea spray on your skin, the warmth of the sun on the sand, Ostreida is the perfect expression of land and sea. Pair with fresh oysters, Castlevetrano olives, a little bit of ice, and enjoy! 

To further our commitment to supporting regenerative farming practices, we are donating a portion of sales from each bottle of Ostreida to GreenWave.org, an organization that trains and supports ocean farmers in the era of climate change, working with coastal communities to create a blue economy. 

Seaflow, a maritime-inspired gin, is made with local oysters and seaweed. It's naturally ocean blue in color.

The gin highlights the artistry and sustainable commitment of distillers Dan Neff and Eric Olson, said Manya Rubinstein, CEO of ISCO. They make Seaflow from scratch starting with regeneratively farmed organic corn, produced over a two-month-long process to create a creamy, high-proof neutral spirit.

With a fresh citrus aroma, followed by flavors of light juniper, delicate seaweed, smoked kombu, candied fennel, sorrel and peppercorn, Seaflow Gin is made for gimlets, fizzes, martinis, Collins’ and tropical or citrus drinks.

"We’re especially pleased to be collaborating with Loliware on a special light blue colored compostable seaweed-based straw in honor of this exciting launch,” she said. Loliware was recently named one of America’s leading Greentech companies by Time magazine.

Dubbed Ornamental Gin in homage to the ornamental steel that was made on the site we now work on for over 100 years, its made entirely from scratch on site from a base of 100% non-GMO organic corn, just like our vodka. All gins must of course be flavored with juniper, and in addition to this ours includes a very special mix of 15 additional botanicals on top—elderflowers, passion flower, lots of citrus and hops are just a few! After a long, slow and careful distillation, the liquid is left to rest for a month to let the flavors meld. After being slowly proofed down to 40% ABV over a further period of weeks, our gin is finally gently filtered (but not chill filtered, which might affect the delicate flavors!) just before bottling. Works well in all the classics, or on the rocks with a twist. Recommended cocktails: Aviation, Bees Knees, Corpse Reviver #2.

Our vodka starts its life as regionally grown, organic, non-GMO corn. After it is milled to our specifications by our farm partner, we begin the time-intensive process of making our vodka from scratch on site. To create the purest expression of our base material, we cook, ferment and distill our corn in small batches. After a number of these smaller batches are ready, we combine them for a further round of distillation. Everything is then charcoal filtered at least 20 times for an even cleaner, crisper experience. With a uniquely creamy mouthfeel and smooth, lingering finish, our vodka’s distinctive flavor comes from its 100% corn base. True to its name, it stands up both by itself—sipped neat or on the rocks—but also plays nicely with others. Recommended cocktails: Greyhound, Moscow Mule, Vodka Tonic.

This series is the culmination of our efforts to create an undeniably niche spirit, but one that we think deserves your attention. Absinthe is the key to some of the most incredible cocktails on the planet and is the perfect companion to our rye whiskeys.

 

While the flavor is dominated by fennel and anise, organic wormwood is the namesake herb here.

No, it does not cause hallucinations, but, yes, it may cause you to dream languidly of Parisienne cafes and La Belle Époque.

 

Each bottle is hand-filled, corked, and finished with a hand-stamped label. Instead of numbering each individual batch, we’re numbering each distinct version. Up first is, of course, No. 1.

American Botanical Gin

This modern American style gin is a juniper-balanced partnership with a blend of carefully selected botanicals. What you will find in this small batch gin are refreshing floral and citrus notes, an herbaceous bouquet of lemongrass and chamomile on the nose. A balance of light spice of ginger and szechuan peppercorn, and a uniquely fresh, fruity and floral finish of elderberry and orange peel on the pallet. Distilled with Grain.

Distilled with Grain

At Sons of Liberty, we have an insatiable curiosity for flavor - some might call it an obsession. The Barrel Selection Series is dedicated to handpicking whiskey barrels from other distilleries for the sole purpose of enhancing their flavor through finishing.

For this offering, we seek out Bourbon Whiskey with a high rye influence to soften the sweetness from the corn. After carefully finishing the barrels with a combination of toasted oak staves, the result is a well-rounded Bourbon Whiskey with depth of flavor.

Bold, yet approachable, with rich notes of toasted vanilla and caramel. Complemented by hints of spice and dark fruit that carry through to a smooth finish.

BOURBON NOTES (94 PROOF)

Mash Bill	Corn, rye and malted barley with a high rye content
Barrels	5 years in charred, new American Oak
Finishing	Combination of toasted oak staves selected to round out the bourbon and provide more depth
Flavor	Toasted vanilla and caramel with hints of spice and dark fruit

Created with cocktails in mind, this whiskey is a blend of our house distilled rye and a number of uncommon rye whiskeys distilled throughout the US and Canada. Classic American oak-aged flavors of caramel and vanilla pair with tart apple on the nose to create the perfect whiskey for all your favorite cocktails.
