1420 Maritime Collection
Our Maritime Collection Bourbons are all hand-made in small batches using traditional mash bills consisting of corn, wheat or rye, and barley.
Our Finished at Sea Bourbon is aged onboard working oyster boats operated by Copps Island Oysters plying the waters of the Long Island Sound six days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Our Harborside Bourbon is aged in our distillery steps away from the Long Island Sound where they are exposed year-round to New England’s coastal seasons, temperature changes and briny sea air.
Whether your pleasure is “on the shore or on the water” the result is full-bodied, award-winning spirits that fully embody our all-seasons maritime environment while embracing the whiskey making traditions of old.
The nose on this whiskey is surprisingly light and floral, suggestive of honeysuckle with hints of dried cherry.

Flavor
The palate has expected bourbon cues of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey.
Finish
The finish is more interesting with the nutty-flavor of milled oil seed.

1420 Finished at Sea Straight Bourbon
1420 Finished at Sea bourbon follows in the traditions of pre-prohibition bourbon makers who aged their whiskey on flatboats floating on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Instead of flatboats on rivers, our whiskey is aged and exposed to the elements on the Long Island Sound aboard oyster boats operated by Copps Island Oysters. The result? A full-bodied bourbon that embodies our maritime environment while embracing the whiskey making traditions of old.
The mash bill for this delicious spirit is comprised of 80% corn, 15% rye, and 5% malted barley.

1420 Harborside Straight Bourbon
1420 Harborside Straight Bourbon is aged adjacent to the historic harbor of South Norwalk, CT.
Like our Finished at Sea whiskey, our 1420 Harborside Straight Bourbon benefits from its maritime environment. Aged in barrels in warehouses overlooking the harbor, it absorbs the salty sea breeze and fluctuating temperatures, giving it a distinctive character.
The result is a full-bodied spirit that blends the rich traditions of whiskey-making with the maritime influences of South Norwalk. Our 1420 Harborside Straight Bourbon embodies our commitment to innovation and quality, offering an exceptional and memorable whiskey experience.
