Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailJolly Tar

The Jolly Tar name is inspired by one of the famous rye whiskeys produced by the Altschul Distilling Co. founded in 1862 by Samuel Altschul Sr., an immigrant from Germany. The distillery was located in Springfield, O and featured more than a dozen brands, including Jolly Tar Rye. His flagship label was Old School Rye which was derived from the English translation of his last name Altschul. He styled this whiskey “pure and potent.” Jolly Tar is dark brown with ruddy highlights and has a subdued hop character with a mildly assertive finish. The aroma is malty with lots of baker’s chocolate and mild raisin-like notes. The aroma flows into the flavor of the beer with chocolate, raisin and fig like character. The mid palate is malty with medium body that finishes somewhat dry.
