That theme comes to life on the label, where a robed alchemist raises a glass in his workshop, framed in cobalt blue and copper. This release starts with a robust high-rye whiskey distilled in Indiana from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and aged for seven years. It was then given two distinctive finishes: first in a cask that once held Madeira, the fortified wine from the Portuguese island of the same name, and then in a cask that previously aged Armagnac, the traditional brandy of Gascony in southwest France. The Madeira adds rich dried fruit, nuttiness and a gentle wine sweetness, while the Armagnac lends depth, plum and an elegant brandy warmth, all layered over the bold spice of the rye. Bottled at full cask strength of 112.8 proof, each bottle is hand-labelled with its batch and bottle number. Expect a nose of red grapes, cherries, fig, sweet dates and a hint of pipe tobacco. The palate is rich and layered, with dark fruit, toffee, rye spice, raisin and toasted oak. The finish is long, warm and gently sweet. Enjoy it neat or with a few drops of water to open up its many layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56.4%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e112.8 (cask strength)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistilled in Indiana; bottled in Lexington, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Rye Whiskey, Madeira and Armagnac Cask Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMashbill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95% rye, 5% malted barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMadeira cask, then Armagnac cask\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo. 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Arts Whiskey House\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep mahogany amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red grapes, cherries, fig, sweet dates and pipe tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and layered, with dark fruit, toffee, rye spice, raisin and toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm and gently sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat casks is it finished in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Madeira wine cask followed by an Armagnac brandy cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow old is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aged 7 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is bottled at cask strength, 56.4% ABV or 112.8 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% rye and 5% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs every batch the same?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Proof and age can vary between batches.
