Distiller Notes
An alluring Amber color while standing out from all others on shelf. After ten years of aging, the whiskey is finished in 80% tight grain American oak barrels sourced from Quercus Alba in southern Missouri. These barrels were air-dried outdoors for two or more years allowing the natural fungi (moss) on the barrels to grow which ultimately releases more notes into the whiskey.
On the nose you’ll find oak, plum, butterscotch and light floral notes, you find similar notes on the palate with a delightfully unique taste profile, which includes toasted vanilla, honey, chestnut, heavy toasted almonds (the nutty flavor is characteristic of Hungarian oak) and butterscotch on a long sustaining dry finish.
Capturing a broad range in one category, American Whiskey refers to any spirit made in America by distilling a mash of fermented grains—typically corn, wheat, rye or barley. American Whiskey must be distilled to no more than 95% alcohol and bottled at 40% or higher. In order to be labeled a straight Whiskey, it also must be aged in white oak barrels for a minimum of two years and not contain any added colors or flavors.
