LImited Edition Distiller Reserve
RoughStock Distillery is pleased to announce the launch of our Limited Edition Collector’s Series.
As some of you may know, our first batches of whiskey were aged in small casks to facilitate quicker aging (if this is news to you, please check our ‘Whiskey 101’ and ‘Guide to our Label’ sections on our website). During the barrel dumping of our First Edition batches, a few barrels singled themselves out as something incredibly unique. The flavors and aromas from these barrels were nothing short of amazing with a generous bouquet of vanilla, spice, malt, apple, pear, toffee, and a hint of smoke. We held on to those incredible barrels with hopes of releasing something special. And here it is:
The 2009 Limited Edition Distiller’s Select Release. Those few barrels singled out will be bottled at cask strength; no filtering or cutting. At a cask strength of approximately 60% by volume (120 Proof) all of the intense flavors from the malt and virgin toasted and charred oak meet and culminate with a rich and smooth finish. This edition is limited to less than 60 bottles.
To further increase the rarity of this release the packaging is the actual small American white oak barrels used to age the first edition batches. We will no longer use this barrel size again. These barrels represent the first whiskey in Montana’s history to be harvested from local grains, distilled, and aged entirely in Montana. The barrels will be identified with a small brass tag and carry the signature “RS” brand emblazoned on the barrel head. The bottle has a hand written label to verify cask strength (determined at bottling), bottle number, and special release date. Each bottle will also be signed and numbered by our Distiller, Bryan Schultz.
This once-in-a-lifetime release will be sure to inspire conversation and envy when put out on display. The whiskey inside these bottles is a bold-flavored representation of Montana and we know you will enjoy it.
Please note there is limited availability on this item. To avoid disappointment please reserve your bottle as soon as possible.
