The very last of our 2017 Ryeway to Heaven was aged for 18 months in Woodford Double Oak and an additional 18 months in a Heaven Hill Bourbon barrel. Sticky-sweet maple, spicy rye, and pronounced American oak tannin conspire to make this selection as seductively nuanced as it is staggeringly satisfying.

Muddy brown to black with a soft milky tan head that is quick to disperse to a rolling ring round the edge.

Wow, I wish I'd have had more time with this one! It's super rich and deeply complex. Caramel creme brulee. Nougatty port. A delectably thick and viscous body.

All kinds of pastry elements developed here with such a quality brew spending so much time in awesome barrels. And at such a high ABV, this drinks dreamily. Insanely so.
