10th Street Distillery’s single-malt Distiller’s Cut
Sip
Beloved whiskey brand 10th Street Distillery put its alcohol reserves to good use to create an FDA-compliant hand sanitizer. To aid pandemic workers, 10th Street has donated more than 400 gallons of sanitizer to first responders and charities, and it’s available for purchase online. If you’re looking for something lower proof, 10th Street released the Cask #66 Distillery Special, punctuated with notes of green apple, brown sugar and toasted almond. For each bottle sold, a gallon of hand sanitizer will be donated to first responders and charities in need. 10th Street Distillery is also allowing customers to do tastings in the comfort of their home with its kits, which include six 50 ml bottles of different whiskeys.
