- Description
- This Master of Malt own bottling was distilled in 2019 from a high-rye mash bill (95% rye, 5% barley) and spent six years maturing in new charred oak, yielding 391 bottles when bottled in 2025 without added colour or chill filtration. Toasted pecans, sweet oak, and balanced spice create a rounded, mellow character that avoids sharp edges despite the new wood influence. The palate is approachable yet sophisticated, with wood integration that feels complete rather than aggressive. This is an ideal choice for sipping neat or building a refined Manhattan.
