Distillery: Mad River Distillers

For our second batch of Hopscotch, we decided to distill an existing beer from Stone Corral and chose their Scotch Ale for obvious reasons, explained Alex Hilton, general manager and distiller at Mad River Distillers. The result is a rich and malt-forward whiskey, much like the beer itself. Hopscotch is a supple, flavorful whiskey that bridges the ground between the classic American whiskey style and the smoky tang of traditional Scottish single malts. It was distilled from Stone Corral Scotch Ale, which is brewed with peated malt.
