The Blunt Blend, "Dark Arts" batch #1 offers a unique blend of 7-year old cask strength rye whiskey, finished in Armagnac and Madeira wine barrels. It showcases a rich tapestry of flavors not commonly found in traditional rye whiskey. Tasting Notes: On the nose, notes of Jamaican pepper, white grape, hibiscus, licorice, pear, coffee, and dried berry. The palate reveals pine resin, manuka honey, white pepper, chewy caramel, toasted oak, white grape, green apples skins, and hazelnut chocolate. Finishes with a lingering essence of resin-like rye spice and an oily mouthfeel. Initial flavors of apple, pear, and the earthiness of manuka honey transitions into soft tannins and caramel before gently fading with hints of resin, chocolate, and fruity terpenes.
