This rye whiskey matured at least 5 years with a mash bill of 60% rye, 35% corn, and 5% malt. The use of our "house" yeast strain and a second brandy yeast pulls forward herbal and fruity notes. The brand never sour mash their Whiskeys in the traditional manner, but this whiskey relies partially on malo-lactic fermentation to bring forth the more earthy elements as well as the creamy mouthfeel. 100% double pot distilled. Barrel entry at 105 proof. We mature in a number 2 charred oak barrel (always 53 gallons) and in a mixture of Chai cellar warehouse and Dunnage. No Chill Filtration so some cloudiness when chilled is to be expected 100 proof.
Opens with aromas of fresh cut grass and apricots. Flavors of English toffee, mingled with a floral lavender and light white pepper. Finishes with an oily mouthfeel, stone fruit lingers, herbal/eucalyptus, toffee on exhale with some minty characteristics.
