This whiskey is made from 100% malted barley, marrying American Single Malt whisky made on-site in Virginia with aged malt whisky from Scotland.
Cask finishing for an additional 8 to 12 months deepens the nuance and complexity of each single cask. Raspberry and dried red fruit showcase the hallmarks of this cask type, a re-toasted red wine cask. The palate displays mocha and baking spice, while barrel spice rounds out the finish.
This blend comes from two different casks: Cask 1 was distilled by brothers Axel & William with their handmade column still; Cask 2 consists of a heady rum from older brother Rommel’s copper alembic still. The combination of the three brother’s distillates is well-balanced and pops with bright, herbal, and chocolate notes that shine through the finish.
