Corsair Triple Smoke Wins 'Artisan Whiskey of the Year' from Whiskey Advocate

Wow, it's been one helluva last 12 months for our friends over at Corsair Artisan Distillery. In April, they won the top award at the American Distilling Institute's competition for their 9-grain bourbon they call Grainiac, and then in October, Whisky Magazine named them "Craft Distillery of the Year" and "Innovator of the Year" at their Icons of Whisky awards.

Now Whisky Advocate magazine, formerly Malt Advocate, has named the distillery's Triple Smoke as "The Artisan Whiskey of the Year." Whenever anyone asks me about Corsiar, Triple Smoke is the first product I talk about. It's not a traditional American whiskey, but it's not a scotch either. It is a truly unique spirit that really speaks to the boundaries that Corsair is pushing. Whiskey lovers and mixologists all over the country know this as Corsair's calling card product.

Here's an excerpt from the Whisky Advocate article announcing the award:

Darek Bell and his partners at the Corsair Artisan distillery in Nashville have been swinging hard since they opened, rolling out one new whiskey after another. There are craft brewers who put out fewer beers in a year than Corsair does whiskeys. Rasputin, Nashville, Quinoa, Wry Moon, Pumpkin Spice Moonshine, Ryemageddon, 100% Rye … and our Artisan Whiskey of the Year, Triple Smoke.

Kudos to the whole team and keep pumping out the good stuff!
