Distiller Notes
Rich aromatics of hazelnut shortbread and sugar cookie provide an approachable counterbalance to earthy spice notes from the rye. On the palate, a smooth entry with flavors of Amoroso sherry and brown butter continues to build in breadth and viscosity. The finish is lush and enduring, with sweet honey notes and a polished hint of baking spices.

Aromas of clove and peach guide the nose down a long, resin-laden path. On the palate of this 93.4-proof pot-still spirit, sweeter notes of stone fruit emerge as high-toned and vibrant chocolate mint leans in mid-palate, eventually smoothing into an elegant vanilla-wafer 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.
