New Hampshire’s Omni Mount Washington Resort takes après-ski tippling seriously—so much so that the team traveled 1,000 miles in pursuit of its new signature bourbon. Released this summer after a successful launch of an inaugural blend in 2014, Mount Washington Woodford Reserve II features hints of brown sugar, maple and vanilla, tastes chosen when staff traveled from Bretton Woods to the Kentucky distillery to work with Woodford Reserve’s master taster. “After tasting each barrel individually, we compared notes and discussed which two barrels we thought would be interesting to blend,” explains Robert Hunt, the resort’s assistant director of food and beverage. “In the end, we chose a blend that consisted of the two barrels with the most subtle presentation of flavors.” Guests can try bourbon from one of the batch’s 180 bottles on the rocks or in signature cocktails like the Elevation, made with New Hampshire maple syrup and lemon, or the Blueberry French Toast Martini. “A glass of Mount Washington Woodford Reserve on the veranda, overlooking New Hampshire’s beautiful Presidential mountain range, is an extremely unique experience,” Hunt says. “Amazing view, amazing bourbon.”
