From the Distillery
- “This release sits outside the normal. Firstly, the spirit was distilled from UK grown Maris Otter during our Euro-malt mash trials in 2015. Second, the formative first five years of maturation occured in a 1st fill Rye cask; a style which accounts for only fifty barrels in the rackhouse. Additionally, this is not a typical cask exchange cask - rather than loaning out a barrel we had previously filled, this white wine cask turned Saison vessel was gifted to us by Black Raven Brewing. Once they reached sufficient funk to satisfy the birds, we accepted the offer and landed here three years later.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Sour cherry, toasted wheat, mint, pancake batter, cola.”
- Palate: “Key lime, bread crust, brown sugar, fudge.”
