BRAIN DUSTER COCKTAIL – WILD BUCK WHISKEY
As the winter descends, some of us get what many call the “winter funk”. I know I do. For me, I feel like my brain has developed cobwebs that need to be “dusted away”. I’m looking for something to kick me out of this listless feeling. Sometimes it’s a new adult beverage that can do it. Behold, the “Brain Duster” made with our favorite “Wild Buck Whiskey” that is 100% American Rye!.
The Brain Duster is a potent blend of rye whiskey (Wild Buck Whiskey, of course!), absinthe, Italian vermouth, and bitters. It is not at all subtle in flavor, tasting much like a well-made Manhattan with a little extra coming from the absinthe. With absinthe creeping back into the cocktail culture more and more these days, it’s not a bad idea to have a bottle of the good stuff at your disposal. To “Dust out the Cobwebs in your Brain”, so to speak.
Per Equire Magazine Research:
“According to the annals of cocktail history, the Brain-Duster was named as such in 1895 by bartender George J. Kappeler. Now, and likely back then, a brain duster is what you give someone when you smack them upside the head, so you can see how it was a fitting name for this drink.
In 1949, Esquire published the recipe in our Handbook for Hosts, warning, “Hold your hat.” The Brain-Duster goes by another name, too: The Waldorf, or so the Waldorf-Astoria bar called its variation when it served it up to clientele in the early 1900s. You don’t see it around much these days by either name, but with authentic absinthe back in the U.S., there’s no time like now for a resurgence.”

NJOY SPIRITS DISTILLERY
NJoy Spirits Distillery was founded in 2012 by Natalie and Kevin Goff. They bought 80 acres inside the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area on which they formed Goff Ranch, home of NJoy Spirits Distillery.
NJoy Spirit’s Distillery is a family-operated Florida Rye Whiskey distiller in the heart of the nature coast. We wanted to make America’s finest 100% Rye Whiskey when we started making our Wild Buck American Rye Whiskey! We are confident we have achieved that (and Wild Buck Whiskey has many awards to prove it!) and have no doubt you’ll agree with just one sip!
Wild Buck Rye Whiskey is smooth, bold, handmade, and bottled at 100 proof. We start by fermenting a mash of 100% farm-fresh rye grain. We grind and cook it daily, one batch at a time. We add no artificial flavorings or color and use only purified ultraviolet filtered rainwater. At NJoy Spirits, we never rush our Rye Whiskey into a bottle. Our Rye Whiskey is aged in custom-made new charred American Oak barrels and developed in the Florida climate. The American Oak barrels give our final product a deep rich flavor with a hint of spice that only grows with time using a smaller barrel – the way Whiskey used to be aged.
Kevin Goff and Natalie Goff started making Wild Buck Rye Whiskey in 2010, and it became available to RNDC in April 2012.
We decided to start distilling Mermaid Rum in 2016 since we added to our property to grow sugarcane. Cane is like grass/bamboo, which grows in most soils. We quickly began racking up many Gold Medal Awards from prestigious groups.
We started the Ryes-In-Shine Moonshine in 2017. As you know, Moonshine is the same thing as Whiskey – just never aged in oak barrels and higher proof, and people asked for it, so that is why we decided to bottle that product.
We wanted to make products that used crops we could grow here on our farm. The type of corn we tried to make Bourbon with wasn’t growable in Florida, so we chose the 401 black rye, which quickly grows here instead. Our soil is very sandy and not rich. We have had to supplement the Florida soil with many tons of compost for years.
We are very proud that our Wild Buck Rye Whiskey, Mermaid Rum, and Ryes-In-Shine Moonshine have become a reality through many years of trial and error! We realize patrons are the key to our success. If the liquor store you frequently visit does not carry them, kindly ask them to call our distributor (See Shop > Where to Buy).
“Tour & Tastings” of all three of our Florida-grown and made “Wild Buck Whiskey,” “Mermaid Rum,” and “Ryes-In-Shine Moonshine” is $8/Adult, but the fee is 100% credited towards our Whiskey, our Rum, or our Moonshine bottle purchase.
