This unsmoked base is matured in New American White Oak, finished in Tawny Port barrels, then blended with mesquite-smoked American single malt Petites eaux from a used bourbon barrel. Tawny tends to have a nutty, oxidative character and is often enjoyed as an aperitif, different from Port’s usual role as an after-dinner drink. Matured for over two years, this Distiller’s Cut is a perfect blend of unsmoked and mesquite single malts. This release is at cask strength.

TASTING NOTES:

On the nose, you may find raisin, oak, and leather. On the palate we get sweet, maple-forward notes, moving into a long and velvety mid-palate. It finishes fruity and light, without a hint of smoke. We recommend serving our Spring 2023 Distiller’s cut neat.
