rickover ssn-795 commemorative
Small Batch Bourbon
We nailed nuclear fusion.
Our distillery teamed up with Electric Boat to commemorate the Father of the Nuclear Navy with a very special bottle. Our four-grain bourbon with an electric label.
Produced using Virginia corn, wheat and rye along with malted barley and double-distilled in our 500-gallon copper and stainless still. Our Small Batch Bourbon is aged over two summers in new, American oak barrels. It is characterized by the brackish air from Virginia’s James River, balanced by the sweet caramelized oak sap from small, charred barrels. A sweet opening with a dry spice pop finish.

about the ship
The submarine Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795) is the 22nd ship of the Virginia Class. With the other ships of the class, it represents a revolution in submarine design, construction and mission capability. This versatile and powerful vessel will maximize the contribution the U.S. Submarine Force makes to national security.
SSN-795 will be the second U.S. Navy ship to bear the name Hyman G. Rickover. The first was a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, SSN-709, christened on August 27, 1983 and commissioned on July 21, 1984. SSN-709 was the only Los Angeles-class submarine not named after a U.S. city or town, and the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral Rickover, father of the nuclear Navy. Eleonore Rickover, wife of Admiral Rickover, was the ship's sponsor.
