Lehigh Invaded with Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Screenshot
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.
About J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery
The Mattingly family has been synonymous with distilling in Kentucky for more than two centuries, having a hand in the development of at least nine separate distilleries in the Commonwealth.
It all started in 1845, with John Graves Mattingly’s first distillery in Marion County, Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2.
In 2010 Jeff Mattingly took up the family mantle and started his own craft bourbon business. Today, Jeff’s son Cameron has joined the team as Vice President of Production, continuing the legacy into the latest generation for J. Mattingly Distillery 1845 in Frankfort, Kentucky. Together father and son offer their proprietary double staving process as well as a custom bourbon blending experience unparalleled in the spirits industry, available on-site in Frankfort or online at https://jmattingly1845.com/build-a-bottle/

Greater Northern Lehigh Hosts 2nd Annual Northwestern Lehigh Tree Lighting at Ontelaunee Park on Dec 4
Santa Claus is scheduled to return to New Tripoli a little early this year, kicking off the holiday season on December 4th in Ontelaunee Park!
Returning for its second year, the Greater Northern Lehigh Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Heidelberg and Lynn Townships and the Honey Done List Co. for the 2nd Annual Northwestern Lehigh Tree Lighting Ceremony.
“Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success,
and we could not be more pleased to be back at Ontelaunee for a second astounding year,”
said Kylie Adams-Weiss
Assistant Vice President of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
“Our partnership with Heidelberg and Lynn Townships, as well as the entire Northwestern Lehigh community at large, has created a holiday celebration like no other.”
The event will take place on December 4, 2022 from 4:30-7:30 PM and is free and open to the public.
As in its first year, the event will feature festive holiday performances from Northwestern Lehigh and Weisenberg elementary school choruses and dance groups from Rhythm and Sole, with an expanded schedule to include Olivia & the New Life Drum Circle and the Ebenezer Church Choir Carolers.
Prior to the official start of the event, the Lynn-Heidelberg Historical Society will be open for tours of their buildings within Ontelaunee Park from 2:00-5:00 PM.
A vendor market will take place in the lower pavilion with crafters, nonprofits and local businesses with goods for sale for holiday shopping; the upper pavilion will host a variety of food samples (including soup samples from Curious Goods at the Bake Oven Inn, hotdogs and hot chocolate), giveaway items at the Chamber Booth, and a holiday DJ. Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to partake in cash pony rides (sponsored by Heintzelman Funeral Homes – Schnecksville and Venture Farms), as well as take photos with Frozen’s Elsa, Ana and Olaf. Santa Claus himself will make an appearance, too.
In addition to the Tree Lighting festivities, the event will also host a food drive.
“It is crucial that we open our hearts
to those in need all year long,”
said Jessica O’Donnell-Gower
Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
“The holidays remind us that the spirit of giving is alive and well, and the Chamber likes to ensure that we are helping others in the community.” This year’s food drive will collect canned goods and nonperishable items for the Lowhill Food Pantry.
“The Greater Northern Lehigh chamber has a long history of Christmas Tree Lighting events,” said Andy Gildner, Chair of the Greater Northern Lehigh Chamber of Commerce and owner of Keystone Technology LLC. “Last year’s inaugural event was an exciting success, and we look forward to continue to grow this tradition in Northwestern Lehigh.”
