Production Details:

• Mash Bill: 91% Rye, 9% Malted Barley
  
  
• Distillation: Utilizes an all-copper distillation path, including a column beer still and a doubler, ensuring maximum interaction with copper for enhanced character.
  
  
• Aging: Aged for 5 years in toasted and charred new American white oak barrels with a #4 char level, also known as "alligator char," enhancing natural filtration and flavor development.
  
  
• Proof: Bottled at cask strength, 124 proof (62% ABV), offering a robust and full-bodied experience.
  
  
• Filtration: Non-chill filtered to retain maximum flavor, aroma, color, and texture.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Caramelized apples and peaches, dark cherries, orange peel, baking spices—cinnamon, clove, and a hint of allspice—caramel candies, fresh cracked black peppercorns, dark cocoa, white pepper, and a touch of dill.
  
  
• Palate: Full and layered with bold character. Starts with a delicate sweetness evoking caramels and honey, evolving into rye spice with cinnamon, peppercorns, and a touch of chili heat. Finishes with notes of apple, peach, dark cocoa, and nutmeg, offering a clean and vibrant lingering mouthfeel.
