Round Barn Distillery’s tagline is “The Spirit of Michigan” and their delicious Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey , part of “The Harvest Infusion Series,” makes an admirable liquor cabinet component. This light golden whiskey has the essence of ripe and luscious peaches on the aromatic nose and follows through on the palate for a lingering spicy peach finish. We had fun creating delicious cocktail recipes, Luxury Experience – Peach Fashionista and Luxury Experience – Peach Whiskey Punch, and a culinary recipe, Luxury Experience – Peach and Almond Pie that is kissed with Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey in the flaky pastry crust, in the delicious peach filling, and accompanied by a tempting dollop of Peach Whiskey infused whipped cream. Cheers, it’s cocktail time!
Round Barrel Distillery- The Harvest Infusion Series
Round Barn Distillery is located near Lake Michigan and celebrates the fabulous fruits of the region in their creation of unique, artisan, small-batch spirits since 2001. Their Harvest Infusion Series includes Peach Whiskey, Apple Whiskey, Cinnamon Whiskey, and Vanilla Whiskey.

We’re excited to offer flavors that appeal to wider audiences and bring a taste of Michigan’s orchard and orchard-inspired creativity to every bottle.”
Bottle Information: Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey, 34% alcohol/750 ml bottle, $34/bottle
Tasting notes: The color is a light golden color. The nose is richly aromatic with notes of delicious ripe peaches. The finish is lightly sweet with a nice spicy finish. The alcohol content is 34%, making Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey perfect for those looking for a lower alcohol content (as whiskey usually has an alcohol content 40% alcohol or higher).

The Cocktail Recipes
Luxury Experience – Peach Fashionista
Luxury Experience – Peach Fashionista is as fashionable (and as tasty) as its name. For this cocktail, we muddled diced ripe fresh peaches with an Amarena cherry, then added Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey, Martini & Rossi Rosso, Fee Brothers Peach Bitters, and orange juice. We added a Martini & Rossi Rosso and sugar rim to give the cocktail a pretty “diamond” collar and gave it a jaunty garnish of a peach slice topped with an Amarena cherry.

Luxury Experience – Peach Whiskey Punch
Luxury Experience – Peach Whiskey Punch is a great party cocktail that has lower alcohol. We combined Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey (34% alcohol) with Paramour Elderflower Liqueur (14% alcohol), and added Stash White Peach Oolong Tea, homemade lemon simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Whiskey Punches love fresh fruit, and we added fresh diced peaches and fresh blueberries for a delectable taste of summer. We made a large batch of this punch for a summer gathering of friends, and it was a big hit of the night.

The Culinary Recipe
Luxury Experience – Peach and Almond Pie
(Debra) learned to make pies from her mother, and this crust recipe has long been a family tradition. While the original recipe called for water in the crust, for our recipe for Luxury Experience – Peach and Almond Pie, we use Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey in the crust to make it nice and flaky and to add flavor. We also flavored the peaches in the filling with Peach Whiskey and served the pie with a decadent dollop of Peach Whiskey Whipped Cream.

Method for the Pie Filling: Add all ingredients to a large bowl, toss to coat the peaches and almonds with sugar, cornstarch, and Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey. Set aside while you make the crust.
Method for the Crust: In a food processor, add the Crisco, and process until smooth and creamy. Add the flour and salt, and pulse until the dough becomes crumbly. Add the Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey a little at a time, and pulse, until the dough comes together in a smooth ball. Do not overwork the dough.
Note: Depending on humidity and also elevation, you may require more or less of the Round Barn Distillery Peach Whiskey, which is why you need to add it a little at a time.
The recipe requires a bottom and top crust, so separate the dough into 2 balls. Sprinkle a little flour onto a piece of parchment paper, add 1 ball of dough. Lightly press down to form a circle. Sprinkle very lightly with flour and cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough to form a large thin 1/8-1/4 inch circle.
Spray your pie plate with vegetable oil (for easy removal of the pie from pie plate once the pie is baked). Carefully place the first dough circle into the prepared pie plate.
Roll the rest of the dough into a large circle and set aside for the top crust.
Add the peach and sliced almond filling to the pie, and cover with the top crust. Trim excess dough along the edge of the pie plate. Then crimp the dough along the edge of the pie plate with your thumb and index finger or press down with a fork to seal the edges.
Brush with an egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water), lightly sprinkle crust with sugar (if desired) and bake until the pie is golden brown, approximately 45 minutes.
Let pie cool slightly before cutting. Serve with Peach Whiskey Whipped Cream.
