From the Distillery
- “The second release in our summer series features Pilsen style malt from Best Malz in Germany. This Pilsen style malt is a combination of several barley varietals-Avalon, Catamaran, Quench and Solist—uncommon in the new world. Typically used to brew Pale Lager beers, Pilsen is known for its light and delicate malt flavor. We matured this spirit in a Heaven Hill ex-bourbon cask for just over four years, allowing the grain notes space to express themselves alongside the gentle influence of a used cask.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Light floral, fresh greens, aromatic white wine, light pine”
- Palate: “Key lime pie, sourdough, dry finish”
