Small Batches
Controlled dry fermentation is carried out in-house in refrigerated stainless steel tanks. The mash is then slowly double-distilled on a 16HL (420 gallon) antique cognac still purchased by Germain-Robin from Cognac Tiffon (producers of Maison Surrenne). This small hand-operated still yields whiskeys that are notably soft, clean, and flavorful.
Transformation Through Time
Cellaring is in a mix of new and used (from Van Winkle) American oak barrels, used French Limousin oak barrels, and used port barrels. The whiskies are descended to bottling proof using filtered rainwater.
Soft, Round, Long
Bavarian hard wheat imparts an incredible mouthfeel — think how about checking on hardy northern European bread. The cognac still further allows the subtle yet distinct grain flavors to shine through.

Low Gap 4-Year Wheat Whiskey
A blend of four and five year old Bavarian hard wheat whiskies distilled in 2010 and 2011. This release was aged in new and used bourbon barrels, used cognac barrels, and used port barrels. The flavor profile is profound and very complex. At 45.5% ABV, it lends itself well to cocktails.
The American Craft Whiskey Distillery is a collaboration between distiller Crispin Cain (Germain-Robin absinthe, Crispin’s Rose liqueur) and Ansley Coale of Craft Distillers.
Production of Low Gap began in 2010, using space leased in the Germain-Robin distillery. The quality of the initial distillations was so good that it was released as a clear (unaged) whiskey, which Malt Advocate Magazine named Artisan Whiskey of 2012. Next were a clear corn and then a clear rye; 2-year-old whiskies were released in 2013.
