From the Distillery
- “Step right up and pour a dram. This year’s festival bottling offers everything you could never imagine. The marrying of five new oak casks with two ex-Bourbon casks makes seven in the vatting to create a spectacle to behold. Only 1,500 bottles available, wrapped in three unique commemorative dressings. Will you choose the demon of the bog, Phenostrus? The vixen of vapor, Mistress Miasma? The man of fire, Spinther? You are invited to wonder. To awe! To taste! And taste we will.”
- Flavor Profile: “A wisp of charred wood and a waft of roasted peanuts. The sweet and disarming allure of oak is quickly joined and upheld by a burst of peat smoke. Marvel as caramel and blackberry compote fall under the spell of the bitterest and darkest chocolate known to mankind. Admire the harmonious pairing of peated spirit and new oak, keeping each attribute perfectly at bay, leading to heavy smoke and a lifting sweetness.”
On the Box
- “Don’t miss it! A fuming spectacle of oddities and freaks. It’s shocking! Inconceivable! Unspeakable! But you can’t look away. You shouldn’t. Don’t be afraid. The tickets are free but the show is priceless! Follow me! These are the things of dreams and mystery. Be the first to the tip. Make your way! Just down here, along the sucker netting. Watch for stake bites. Make your way! To the end of Sledge Alley and into the shadowy depths of peat.”
