Still Austin - Cask Strength Rye
“A work of art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t art at all.” – Paul Cézanne
Like painting, distilling represents an intermingling of calculated craft and wild intuition. This impressive cask-strength whiskey combines the nuance of our beloved “Artist” Rye Whiskey with the robust intensity of a barrel-proof spirit. The result is an all-new “Artist” of distinctive vigor and complexity.
In the tradition of our popular Cask Strength Bourbon, for this exceptional rye spirit we’ve tapped Master Blender Nancy “The Nose” Fraley to select the most exceptional barrels of our Straight Rye Whiskey, known as “The Artist,” which we then blended and bottled at the same proof at which the spirit was aged.
Nose: A more aromatically intense, technicolor version of The Artist, with rich notes of cherry cobbler with a buttery cinnamon crust, candied ginger and lemon peels, and apricot Streusel coffee cake.
Palate: Grilled peaches with mint ice cream, apple and marzipan dumplings, and gingerbread cookies with lemon zest.
Finish: Long, spicy finish, with baking spices in brown butter, muddled cherries and mint leaves.
