Craft Your Own Halloween Whiskey at J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery

As the leaves turn and Halloween approaches, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery invites whiskey enthusiasts to add a touch of personalization to their celebrations this spooky season. This year, you don’t just pick your bourbon; you create it! Imagine walking into your next Halloween gathering with a unique bottle of whiskey, customized with your own label and wax seal, ready to impress your friends.

The distillery's Craft Your Bottle Program allows customers to choose from three different mashbills: two bourbons and one rye whiskey. This flexibility means that whether you prefer the smooth richness of bourbon or the spicy kick of rye, there's a choice to suit your palate. Visit J. Mattingly 1845's website to begin the crafting process. Here’s how it works:

1. Choose Your Whiskey: Select from the double-staved™ recipes that have put J. Mattingly on the map, crafted using a proprietary method to enhance flavor.
2. Bottle Shape: Decide what shape best represents your Halloween spirit.
3. Label Customization: Personalize your label with fun and spooky designs or clever puns that reference the haunting season.
4. Wax Color: Choose from a rainbow of colors for your wax seal; you might even go for a candy corn look to resonate with the holiday theme.

Once you complete your design, your custom bottle is shipped to your door (available in 46 states) or you can pick it up right at the distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Pricing starts at $99.50 for a 750 mL bottle, a reasonable price for a bespoke bottle of bourbon that doubles as a decorative piece for your Halloween festivities.

According to recent statistics from the National Retail Federation, this Halloween is projected to soar in consumer spending with nearly three-quarters of Americans planning to celebrate, making it the perfect time for a personalized spirit. Cameron Mattingly, Master Blender and Vice President of Production at J. Mattingly, notes the diverse and creative labels they've seen. "The creativity from our customers is astounding; we get everything from traditional Halloween themes to more whimsical takes. We absolutely love it!"

Beyond the aesthetic, the quality inside the bottle is just as impressive. J. Mattingly's double-staving process, pioneered by founder Jeff Mattingly, ensures that the whiskey not only looks good but tastes exquisite as well. This tech widens the flavor spectrum by adding charred oak staves to the aging process at just the right moments.

The Mattingly family has deep roots in Kentucky's distilling history—spanning over two centuries—beginning with John Graves Mattingly and his first distillery in 1845, recognized today as one of Kentucky's first registered distilleries. The distillery is committed to innovation and quality, ensuring every bottle crafted resonates with this rich heritage.

With the upcoming Halloween festivities, now is the time to craft a spirit that not only raises your glass in celebration but also showcases your creativity. Visit J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery today to start crafting your personalized whiskey bottle and make this Halloween unforgettable.

Whether you're bringing it to a party or keeping it for your own collection, this unique whiskey is sure to stand out amidst the usual candy and costumes. This year, let every sip celebrate your creativity and the spirit of Halloween!
