Batch 22-2145 – “Rowdy From The Rickhouse” [Tyrone A]
Tasting Notes: Big and bold, this batch is full of cocoa, molasses, a touch of char and honey. Textured and silky on the palate, a touch of berry shows through, with graham cracker crust and caramelized sugar. A big, rowdy batch, it brings me back to the moment we selected this barrel for its rambunctious, bold, profile.
Batch 22-0303 – “Turkey Doodle Doo” [Camp Nelson A]
Tasting Notes: Backing off the cocoa and molasses, this batch features a pop of pepper,tart apple, nougat and a hint of maple. This batch will pull you right out of bed and showcases some of Turkey’s feisty spice.
