Heaven's Door - Straight Rye Whiskey

PRODUCER DESCRIPTION: Refuge Straight Rye Whiskey is aged for 6-8 years, blended to ensure consistent maturity has been reached and then finished in Amontillado Sherry casks, boasting a sweet, fruity characteristic that is distinctively rich and refined with notes of dried fruits and a delicate, spicy finish.

Amontillado Sherry is a drier aperitif, which complements the 100% rye mash with notes of leather, nutmeg, and tobacco. The finishing is a delicate process as the rye has already aged over 6 years and reached the desired extraction of oak. Typically, finished for up to six months, however, weather and seasons play a momentous roll in in aging and extraction.
