The base whiskey is a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash, and for the final stage of maturation Dark Arts adds toasted Amburana staves for several weeks. Amburana, sometimes called Brazilian oak, is famous for intense baking-spice and dessert-like flavours. Each small batch yields only around 600 to 750 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Amburana brings gingerbread, cinnamon, coconut and vanilla to the bold pepper spice of the rye, giving a strong nose and complex depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn adventurous, small-batch rye, it makes a memorable gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight rye whiskey must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% rye, aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled with nothing added but water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinishing with staves rather than a full cask lets the blender add a measured amount of a powerful wood like Amburana, which can easily overwhelm a whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 95% rye mash bill gives an intensely spicy, herbal base with notes of pepper, dill and mint that stands up well to sweet, aromatic wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gingerbread, cinnamon and rye spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coconut, vanilla and baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted Amburana staves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Arts Whiskey House (Macaulay Minton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Rye Whiskey, Amburana stave finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108 proof (54% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95% rye, 5% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled in Indiana, finished in Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a little water.
