The tattoo-inspired label features a cardinal, the state bird of both Indiana and Kentucky, and a peony which is the state flower of Indiana as well as a skull to "honor lost loved ones." This limited edition rye whiskey is available beginning May 2023 nationwide. (SRP $199.99) .

Tasting Notes
"The nose is a refreshing mix of ripe green apples, lemongrass, bayleaf, and spearmint with hints of toasted, seeded rye bread. The palate echoes these fruity, herbaceous flavor profiles with more peppery spice and a balanced tartness. The finish is a bit drying and abrupt, but spice and earthiness add some weight to carry it through. "
