Tamworth Distilling Co. is turning green crabs, often called one of the world’s worst “invasive species,” into Crab Trapper Whiskey.
Crab Trapper is made with a bourbon base steeped with a custom crab, corn and spice blend mixture, best likened to a Low Country Boil, the New Hampshire craft distillery says. The crab is present lightly on the nose, accompanied by coriander and bay to smooth out any high notes. The body carries hints of the maple and vanilla oak notes lent from the full-bodied base. The spirit finishes with heavier notes of clove, cinnamon, and allspice, leaving a light, pleasant spice on the palate. SRP: $65.
