Barrel Finishing Series: Michigan Maple Syrup Cask Finished Our limited edition Barrel Finishing Series celebrates the union of Tennessee High Malt into a variety of classic finish ing casks. Crafted from a combination of unique whiskey mash bills - all containing at least 25% specialty malted grains - each batch is custom-made to complement the flavor and aroma characteristics of the finishing barrel. For our seventh finish, our distillers turned to America’s Upper Midwest—this time selecting late harvest maple syrup casks from BLiS in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While less widely known, Michigan maple syrup is prized by enthusiasts for its small batch, kettle-cooked depth and complexity—especially in the final draws of the season. Exclusively filled with old growth, late harvest syrup, these finishing casks bring layered notes of maple candy, toasted grain, and soft oak, adding a warm richness to the whiskey’s profile. To showcase the character of these finishing barrels, our distillers blended two complementary bourbon mash bills—one of which is a 4-grain, 3-malt recipe featuring two types of “aromatic” malt. Slow-toasted and caramelized at low temperatures, these specialty malted grains contribute aromatically-rich, maple-like flavors that naturally complement the sweetness and depth of the maple syrup casks.
