A radical merging of two spirits traditions, it fuses a finely aged rye whiskey with the rare depth of tequila-cask finish — a collaboration of rye spice, French-oak finesse, and agave-inflected boldness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🥃 \u003cstrong\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted in Louisville, Kentucky using straight rye whiskey aged up to 7 years, then finished for up to 12 months in French oak barrels formerly used to mature Extra Añejo tequila.

The result is both familiar and unexpected: a rye that still feels like rye, but transformed. The finishing barrels lend floral and tropical fruit nuances, while the old rye base lends structure and depth. It’s a whiskey made for connoisseurs who relish innovation without losing craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🥃 \u003cstrong\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to fully appreciate the interplay of rye spice and oak-tequila character.
