Distiller Notes
Award-winning American whisky founded by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and crafted in partnership with Moët Hennessy and five time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year, Dr. Bill Lumsden. Here the complexity of rye is married with the elegance of malted barley. Finished to perfection in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, a harmony of spice with sublime hints of fruit. Like nothing ever before it; reimagine whisky.
Aromas of tangy Seville oranges mingle with soft sunkissed raisins, while the sizzling spices of clove, cinnamon, and ginger play with luxurious notes of Demerara sugar and toffee. On the palate, rich and buttery toffee are followed by an array of spices with cinnamon, clove, and classic rye spice up front. Followed by soft malty and biscuity notes intertwined with a vibrant citrus top note. Finishes with hints of honey are encountered with a soft, lingering finish reminiscent of plump sultanas and ripe cherries.
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.
