Production notes

• Rye and barley sourced from two local farms. • Grains floor malted and kiln dried at the distillery. • Slight variation per batch but trending towards 60% rye and 40% barley. • Double distilled in direct-fired pot stills. • Matured for 3-4 years on-site in heavy charred new American white oak barrels. • Bottled at Stauning Whisky distillery. • No color added. • Not chill filtered.

Tasting notes

This unique expression is packed with fruity characters and dry spiced notes. Freshly baked rye bread and warm spices on the nose. On the palate ripe cherries, smoked tea, and citrus fruits. The mouthfeel is creamy and full-bodied. Balanced out by vanilla and a peppery finish.
