About: Introducing Seven Three Distilling’s latest release: Whiskey Tree Bourbon, a spirit deeply connected to the rich history and natural beauty of the Honey Island Swamp. This bourbon pays homage to a time when, at the height of Prohibition, the southern Louisiana swamp was home to a secret meeting place known as the Whiskey Tree. Far from the reach of officials, moonshiners would gather under this iconic bald cypress late into the night, united by a shared determination to stay one step ahead of the law and preserve the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. Even today, whispers of their clandestine gatherings seem to echo in the stillness of the swamp, carried by the wakes of departing boats.

Whiskey Tree High Rye Bourbon is a vibrant celebration of the Honey Island Swamp’s storied past and New Orleans’ dedication to exceptional spirits. The nose reveals a rich tapestry of buttery biscuits topped with cinnamon applesauce and the sweet charm of chocolate-sprinkled sugar cookies. This complexity continues on the palate, where notes of cinnamon rolls drizzled with orange glaze, creamy white cake icing, and rustic rye bread mingle harmoniously with a hint of brown baking spices. The finish is soft yet enduring, with subtle oak, fresh vanilla bean, and a perfectly balanced alcohol profile. Every bottle captures the bold spirit of the swamp and the finesse of New Orleans’ craft.
