To ensure a unique and consistent flavor, barrels are hand selected to create a perfect blend that is smooth and at the same time bold and intense.Released in 2016, our goal was to create a unique great tasting high rye content bourbon. The problem is that rye ages much faster than corn.So while our younger vintages had a big rye spice flavor (which we love) the mouth feel was too thin and it lacked the sweet, delicate complexity of a well aged spirit. Our older vintages had the smoothness and sweet notes that can only be achieved by moving in and out of #4 char and caramelized oak for many, many years, but the nice rye spice had been aged out!  So what to do? Find the perfect blend.We combined the two. The younger vintages maintain the bold spiciness of the rye, cut down on the tannins and keep it fruit forward. The older vintage brings in a creamy mouth feel with sweet aromas and taste notes that only appear over time from aging in a barrel. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it.Nose: Balanced oak nose with hints of fruit and dried apricots.Taste: Initial sweet notes on the front of the tongue. Well balanced mouth feel with spicy notes including white pepper on the middle and back of the tongue from the younger vintage and high rye mash bill. Good balance of sweet and oak flavors including hints of caramel (from the #4 charred barrels, caramelized wood sugar), fruit flavor and rye spice. Finishes smooth with no alcohol burn even at 100 proof. 2016, 2017 and 2019San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal WinnerAbout our gear:Staple GunHow much of a big deal can it be to choose a staple gun? Not much, right?That’s what most of us think because staplers are pretty straightforward tools and don’t do much other than fastening objects. But guess what, it may not be as simple to pick one that meets all your needs for work around the house or on the job. That’s why we decided to create this guide to simplify your search for the best staple gun.Click here for the top 13 staple guns of 2021About the Topic:Experiencing a miscarriage as a husband and father is difficult.
