From the Distillery

  • “The foundational elements of this cask are a familiar composition for those who have been following the development of our house style. Boasting a 5-malt grain bill and new American oak cask this whiskey was matured for 51 months before making a sharp departure from the expected path finishing its time in a Marsala wine cask—a fortified wine from Sicily aged in the solera-style much like Sherry. The resulting tartness and depth of spice is evidence of the Marsala cask influence.”
  • Tasting Notes
    • Nose: “Gingerbread, clove, stewed pear, coriander, raspberry danish, black pepper.”
