Castle & Key distinguishes itself by a fastidious commitment to quality over flavor consistency, meaning loyal customers should notice differences between batches and years. Maintaining a mashbill of Yellow Corn (17%), Rye (63%) and Malted Barley (20%), Castle and Key barrels whiskey in groups, pods, to create desired flavor profiles. The pods are then used to create the final blended whisky. Batch 1 of ‘22 highlights aromas of graham crackers, orange peel, cedar and dill with a palate of baked apples, cinnamon and a white pepper honey finish. Recommended in an Old Fashioned or on the rocks with a good novel.
