This year’s release uses barrels wherein the wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for different periods of time before undergoing our exacting toast and char specifications. The spectrum of barrels used have been seasoned for 18 months, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years thus changing the chemistry of the oak’s contribution during aging. The result is a bold journey of flavor with chocolate, floral notes, berries, salted caramel, baking spice and many rich, decadent layers of complexity.

To accentuate the rye characters, some of the fully matured whiskey was finished in toasted only French oak barrels that were not charred. This wood was sourced from the Vosges region of France before being naturally air dried and seasoned for 24 months and being toasted to our exacting specifications. With this year’s release using the toasted French oak, a bolder, lingering spice emerges balanced by some dried fruit and toasty burnt sugar and toffee qualities.
