A Deep Dive Into Chattermark Distillers
While Charlestown may be best known by history buffs as the location of the illustriously famous Bunker Hill Monument or the charming gas-lit neighborhood, the locale is starting to pick up fame for a different reason: Chattermark Distillers. Since opening their doors to the public, Chattermark Distillers has been incredibly busy distilling the spirit(s) of Charlestown into digestible and delightful libations.
A New Addition to the Charlestown Landscape
With the scenic backdrop of Charlestown, Chattermark Distillers has blended seamlessly into the landscape. The distillers, fondly known by locals, have redefined the district’s reputation by introducing new traditions wrapped in tantalizing bottles of spirits. Having gathered significant attention throughout Massachusetts and beyond, there’s no denying that there was a considerable appetite for locally-produced spirits – not just in Charlestown but across the country as well.
Turning Heads with Their Flagship Offerings
One would expect the team behind Chattermark Distillers to play it safe with their first few offerings, but playing it safe isn’t the Chattermark way. Instead, Chattermark has been turning heads with the bold and adventurous flavors in their line of spirits. From the finest gin, featuring a blend of botanicals whose recipe is kept as secret as the Colonel’s, to the purest vodka and the most seductive whiskey, Chattermark has mastered the art of distillery.
The Gin That Stole The Spotlight
A stand-out selection on the Chattermark menu is their artfully crafted gin. Clean, with an ambitious blend of botanicals, the gin from Chattermark has been dubbed by many as a piece of “liquid art”. It doesn’t just look good on the shelf – it has become a go-to for many mixologists at high-end cocktail bars around the area and is slowly but surely expanding its dominance to the national scene as well.
Vodka Straight From the Heart
Instead of relying on the smoothness that most distilleries target when producing vodka, Chattermark’s version instead boasts a rustic character. It gives a slight nod to the area’s old-fashioned charm, whilst still demonstrating a high-quality product that can easily become the star of any cocktail.
What’s Next For Chattermark Distillers?
With a successful range of products already under their belt, the next steps for Chattermark Distillers are particularly exciting for the Charlestown community and spirits aficionados alike. A smooth eight-year old bourbon is already tickling the taste buds of whiskey lovers, with anticipation building for a twelve-year old that’s still maturing. This is all part of Chattermark’s overall ambition – to continue exploring brave new frontiers of flavor while staying true to the Charlestown spirit they have come to embody.
Embracing the Local, Crafting the Global
At the end of the day, despite their growth and success, Chattermark remains a humble distillery at heart. They continue to embrace their local origins, often using local ingredients and relying on tried and true distilling techniques. As their portfolio of amazingly crafted spirits continues to reach a broader audience, they make sure that each bottle carries with it a piece of Charlestown – in terms of the ingredients, the craftsmanship, and most importantly, the spirit.
