Our first aged spirit usually follows the same grain bill as the corn whiskey. This base spirit is typically aged in a 10 or 15 gallon barrel for 2 years or more, a process which gives it beautiful color and distinct flavors derived from the natural oak-tannins. This whiskey noses initially of dried hay or tobacco - reminiscent of the corn - before molding into the barrel notes of caramel, butterscotch, and even praline. These borderline “sweet” notes make way for a baking spice-like finish.
