Tasting Notes

This single cask selection of The Senator was selected by the Skurnik Sprits Team after being vetted by Proof and Wood owner, David Schmeir. A straight rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, this cask-strength sipper has a classic MGP mash bill of 95% rye and 5% barley and was aged at least 6 years in standard 53-gallon barrels before being bottled exclusively for Skurnik. A seductively inviting nose reminiscent of tiramisu with notes of coffee, sweet cream, and cinnamon precedes a rich and similarly confectionary, pastry-esque palate with the addition of fresh mint and a hint of blueberry. The finish starts dry and tannic, but as it fades, delicate traces of mint, blueberry, and coffee linger. Non-chill filtered; 109.6% ABV. Limited single barrel release.
