Tamworth Distilling’s latest creation — House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose — continues the brand’s tradition of crafting unconventional spirits as the expression is essentially a goose-flavored whiskey. This limited-edition spirit blends roasted goose from local farms, white spruce tips, and plums to deliver a flavor profile that evokes a traditional holiday feast. The result is described as rich and multi-layered, featuring notes reminiscent of evergreen forests, game, and tobacco, with a smooth, cocktail-like texture.
A defining feature of House of Tamworth Spruce & Goose's release is its integral commitment to sustainability. Tamworth Distilling has pledged to plant a native white spruce seedling for every bottle of goose-flavored whiskey sold. This supports reforestation efforts in New Hampshire and aligns with the distillery's 'wilderness-to-glass' philosophy.
