• Aged 9 years in a char #5 barrel with a heavy toast; final 2–3 years of aging took place at PCS Distilling’s warehouse where the barrels were heat-cycled, introducing temperature variation to raise proof and viscosity

“The nose leads with dark black fruit, blue fruit, and pastry tones, with a touch of grapiness that mirrors the blackberry-pie label. The palate follows with rich, jammy dark fruit supported by light tannin and a viscous texture that fully coats the mouth. A slightly sharp edge on the finish keeps it lively and pulls you back in for another sip. What ultimately lingers is the deep, concentrated dark-fruit character, making this barrel especially compelling.” —James Pellingra, Skurnik Portfolio Manager, Whisk(e)y
