In the bottling of this Rye Whiskey, they commingled the high rye Willett mash bill (74% rye, 11% corn, 15% malted barley) with the low rye Willett mash bill (51% rye, 34% corn, 15% malted barley). A larger percentage of the high rye mash bil was used in the commingling process. This is a non-chillfiltered, cask strength Rye Whiskey. Bottled in at 55% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your desert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.
• Palate: A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It’s a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.
• Balance: It’s insanely well balanced with the alcohol so perfectly integrated at 115 proof you’ll forget its there, but you’ll find yourself smiling more and happer with each dram.
• Finish: the finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
