Five Trail Whiskey
American whiskey in three strengths, poured straight from Commack.
The story behind Five Trail
Five Trail is an American whiskey, which in practice means a grain mash distilled and barreled here rather than in Scotland or Ireland, and bottled at strengths that let you drink it neat or open it up with water. The category covers a wide spread: bourbon with its corn-forward sweetness, rye with its pepper, and blended American whiskeys that stitch the two together. Five Trail sits in that blended American tradition, and the house offers it three ways, a standard bottling, a cask finish, and a barrel proof.
We have poured American whiskey on this counter for more than thirty years, and we are careful about what we claim. We do not have a distillery story to hand you for Five Trail, so we will not invent one. What we can tell you is what is in the bottle: three expressions, one mash philosophy, and a proof ladder that runs from easy sipping to something that wants a splash of water and a little patience.

| Five Trail Cask Finish Whiskey 750mL | Cask finished American whiskey | Extra barrel time adds sweetness and a rounder finish. | |

Which Five Trail is right for you?
The standard bottling runs $55.99, the cask finish $59.99, and the barrel proof $79.99, all 750mL. That is a sensible spread for a whiskey you actually drink rather than save. The first two are easy to keep on the shelf and easy to pour for company. The barrel proof costs more because you are getting more whiskey per sip, and it rewards a little care with water. Buy the standard to learn the house style, then step up.
Straight, room temperature, no fuss. The bottle to keep open on the counter.
You want the sweeter, rounder side of the house without going to full proof.
You like to control your own dilution and taste the whiskey at full strength.
