Distilled from a unique blend of thoroughbred grains from the Northern Neck of Virginia; 2/3 rye, 1/3 barley, hand-malted and kiln-dried with applewood and cherrywood smoke. Double pot-distilled at a low 150 to 160 proof to enhance the fruitiness and matured in ex-bourbon barrels with progressive infusions of toasted apple wood and oak chips. Color: Copper and Macintosh apple. Nose: Sensual aromas of butter roasted chestnuts, clay, dried apple and pickling spices, rye grain sacks. Palate: Silky, with dried fruit and nuts, medium-to-full body, warm and inviting. Finish: Honeyed rye toast, peppery spice, cola, fig and mineral rich. Wonderfully balanced with a great combination of creamy, spicy and subtle understated smoke perfect for all applications and occasions. A great crossover for inquiring bourbon drinkers.
