1 is the first in the distillery's planned annual bourbon releases, made from a mash of yellow corn, unmalted rye and cherry-smoked barley twice distilled on direct flame in copper-pot stills. The bourbon is aged in small virgin casks for a year and change, then given an additional finish in full-sized, used whiskey barrels.

Tasting Notes

"The used oak finishing does a lot for this young whiskey. The cherrywood smoking gives it an interesting sweet pipe-tobacco smoke aroma in the glass, then comes to play on the palate imparting fresh, ripe strawberry and raspberry flavors mixed with the barley's earthy funk. Maple syrup, bran flakes cereal, and a bit of burnt orange peel add to the intrigue. Finishes very peppery and hot, with sharp clove and allspice. "
