FIRST FARMERS-DISTILLER LICENSE IN MASSACHUSETTS ISSUE FEBRUARY 26TH, 2003 TO NASHOBA VALLEY!


When and where distilling was first practiced is still a mystery. Where and when the first farmers-distiller license was issued in Massachusetts will be a trivia question for the future. Issued License Number FD-1 on February, 26th, 2003, Nashoba Valley offers a wonderful selection of distilled spirits in addition to its wines and beers. Combining our award winning artistry of fermentation with years of experience in distillation, Nashoba Valley produces and sells some of the finest brandies, eau de vie, cordials and vodka (distilled from 100% apples) ever produced. These are exciting times at Nashoba Valley and exciting times for Massachusetts.

Foggy Bog
 Simply a home run.  Massachusetts cranberries and apple brandy are combined in a "geist".  Distillation of the geist gives us a cranberry brandy which we blend with fresh cranberry juice, cranberry juice concentrate, sugar and spices. It is bottled in 500 ml bottles at 21% alcohol by volume and 20% sugar by weight. Our best selling spirit and one of our best selling all around products.  The essence of New England in a bottle.  375 ml - $21.00

Vodka
 Neutral Spirits produced 100 percent from apples.  Moderately full-bodied. Chocolate, anise, dried herbs, charcoal. Rich, smooth texture. Amazingly little heat in the finish. Clear and colorless.  Tripled distilled and charcoal filtered.  750 ml - $24.00

Cherry Brandy - Eau-de-vie
 Distinctive fruit essence. Silky smooth and bone dry with an underlying suggestion of cherry fruit that lingers eternally on the finish.

Vidal Grappa
 Pomace Brandy (Italian Grappa and French Marc are the best-known examples) is Brandy made from the pressed grape pulp, skins, and stems that remain after the grapes are crushed and pressed to extract most of the juice for wine.   Our grappa a fresh, fruity aroma of the type of grape used, a characteristic that is lost in regular oak-aged Brandy. Generous and complex violet, fresh fruit and mineral aromas. A smooth attack leads to a moderately full-bodied palate with a touch of heat and exceptional grappa flavors.  Clear and colorless.  An acquired taste! 375 ml  -  $22.00

 Combining 10 botanicals of juniper berries, elderberry, lemon, orange peel, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, anise and fennel, we are proud to introduce Gin to our product line. Unlike liqueurs, where flavorings are added to the distilled spirits, our Gin is made by re-distilling the spirit with the flavoring ingredients in the still and by passing the vapor through the flavoring agents during distillation. The name Gin comes from genievre, French for juniper. The "Perfect 10" comes from the results.
