The ryes were blended and finished in rum-seasoned oloroso sherry casks before bottling at 100 proof.
This wider release in April 2023 follows the inaugural batch of First Edition bottles sold in collectors packaging which sold out a week after its fall 2022 launch. (SRP $109.99).

Tasting Notes
"The intensity of the aroma is moderate with rye grain, oak varnish and red apple skins making appearances. There's a touch of hay in there as well. As you move on to the taste you'll find a medium-light body lacking a chewy mid-palate. The taste is more savory than sweet, but there's some vanilla there. The rye is a little drying on the gums, but not negatively so. Further tastings reveal a little milk chocolate on the nose and a peppery bite on the palate. The length of the finish is average and it is really only there that any rum flavors stand out. Overall, the rye whiskey is still a little too tight to make this whiskey come together. "
