From the Distillery
- “In Edition 6, Garry Oak comingles with both Brandy and Sherry casks. The Brandy gives a bright filter to the savory spice of Garry Oak. The Pedro Ximénez, its classic darker fruits with muted sweetness. Both add something distinct while leaving enough space for the Garry Oak to shine.”
- “Remainder filled into Garry Oak for future fortune.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Raspberry reduction, maple candy, dulce de leche, and a faint hint of clove.”
- Palate: “Cedar, cinnamon, dried apricot, and light caramel.”
On the box
- “Charting Our New West: For centuries, a well-charted tradition in whiskey has established a covenant about how it is made. But there is another, decidedly American, tradition to uphold - to challenge accepted conventions with the conviction that there is always more to be discovered. We believe that the world of whiskey is not flat and that it is time to step beyond what we have inherited. We find ourselves at the edge of a new frontier, but the edge is not the end of what we know, it is just the beginning of what we have yet to explore. Garryana pursues true provenance with the introduction of an entirely new species of oak to the world of whiskey. In our work we create a record of the oak’s distinctive characteristics and reveal unique expressions of Pacific Northwest terroir. Each release marks a new outpost in our ongoing exploration of the vast frontier of whiskey. Our West Is Whiskey.”
