BOURBON WHISKEY




Our high rye content bourbon is aged in the heart of a century-old  brick warehouse. To ensure a unique and consistent flavor, barrels are hand selected to create a perfect blend that is smooth and at the same time bold and intense.




Released in 2016, our goal was to create a unique  great tasting high rye content bourbon—something that could compete with national brands.


 


The problem is that rye ages much faster than corn.


 


So while our younger vintages had a big rye spice flavor (which we love) the mouth feel was too thin and it lacked the sweet, delicate complexity of a well aged spirit.  Our older vintages had the  smoothness and sweet notes that can only be achieved  by moving in and out of #4 char and caramelized oak for many, many years, but the nice rye spice had been aged out!


 


 So what to do?


 


Find the perfect blend.


 


We combined the two, maintaining the bold spiciness of the younger vintage and the smooth mouth feel and sweet aromas and taste notes of the older vintages, while eliminating any alcohol burn in the finish. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it.


 


Nose:


Balanced oak nose with hints of fruit and dried apricots.


 


Taste:


Initial sweet notes on the front of the tongue. Well balanced mouth feel with spicy notes including white pepper on the middle and back of the tongue from the younger vintage and high rye mash bill.


 


Good balance of sweet and oak flavors including hints of caramel (from the #4 charred barrels, caramelized wood sugar), fruit flavor and rye spice. Finishes smooth with no alcohol burn even at 100 proof.
