Selected by: BS
Style: Straight Whiskey

Selection notes: Selection notes: Reserved from the same family of barrels as Experimental Batch 037: Ancient Wheat, this rare single barrel was made from an abundance of malted dinkel wheat. This heirloom wheat varietal - which dates all the way back to the dawn of civilization - contributes a nutty richness to the whiskey no longer found in modern wheat varieties. Aged in a long-seasoned, toasted & charred barrel, the result is a wildly complex and structured dram, merging notes of bright fruit, toast and baked dessert.

Tasting notes: Lemon candy, créme caramel, glazed poppyseed muffin, toasted oak, with a lingering wheaty finish.

Selected by: TS
Style: Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Selection notes: This Experimental Single Barrel elegantly showcases the true power of specialty malted grains. Made with our team's go-to malted rye and a range of 3 kiln roasted caramel malts, this multi-layered mash bill was fermented with two classic yeast strains - common to both bourbon and malt whiskey. The result is a classic pot-distilled Tennessee High Malt: complex yet focused, with notes of caramel, spice, malt, and concentrated fruit.

Tasting notes: Cherry preserves, tea biscuits, milk chocolate caramels, and a hint of clove. Bright, malt-forward palate with a spiced rye finish.

Selection notes: This Experimental Single Barrel is a blend of 3 high malt bourbons, which together contain 4 types of roasted and toasted malted rye malts. The combination of pale, smoked, chocolate, and caramel rye malt varieties results in a densely sweet & spicy flavor profile, classically associated with malted rye grain.

Tasting notes: Notes of cinnamon bun, freshly baked rye bread, raw vanilla bean, chai tea with a charred oak finish.

Tasting notes: Notes of sugar cookie, nutmeg, and toasted almond with a lingering vanilla and tobacco leaf finish

Joined by a highly toasted "aromatic" malted barley and a small portion of dinkel malted wheat, this unconventional malt whiskey is a multi-layered, flavor-journey of a dram.

Tasting notes: Orange marmalade, cinnamon scone, caramel apple, and maple syrup on the nose, with notes of tobacco, toasted oak, and baking spice on the palate
