Aged 6 years then finished one additional year in Islay Scotch whisky casks — merging American rye tradition with the smoky depth of the Scottish Isles. Smoked sugar and orchard fruit on the nose; grilled plums, red licorice, and campfire on the palate; long, smoky finish of salted caramel and honeyed cream. Bottled at 100 proof. Distillery exclusive, limited to 7,200 bottles.
