Description
We send our ex-bourbon barrels across the Atlantic where they’re used to age peated whiskey, then emptied and returned to our distillery where we fill them up again with straight rye whiskey. There’s nothing sinister about it, it’s just how the world works. A bit of smoke, a bit of spice. Good enough to seal the deal.

Tasting Notes
Nose
There’s a bit of smoke in the air, and a soft aroma of vanilla, apricot, and brown sugar
Palate
Take a sip, and it’s bright and fruity with black pepper and mint, rye spice mingling perfectly with smokey peat notes
Finish
That peat lasts long on the finish, with just a little bit of sweetness
