Tasting Notes
Prepare to embark on a captivating journey with FEW 6 Year Old, a whisky that effortlessly blends tradition and innovation. Crafted in Illinois, this expression boasts a robust mash bill of 70% Midwestern rye, 20% local corn, and 10% malted barley, fermented with a touch of French finesse from the Loire Valley's wine yeast. The maturation process unfolds in air-dried oak barrels, imparting a rich complexity that is further elevated by a Port cask finish. The result is a glorious ruby hue that beckons you to dive into its depths. On the nose, enticing aromas of roasted coffee beans and toasted rye bread drizzled with honey captivate the senses, complemented by hints of menthol, woody spice, and chalky grist. As you savor each sip, juicy forest fruits and dark chocolate unleash a dense, jammy sweetness, bolstered by leathery oak and rye spice. The finish lingers with notes of stewed berries, cherries, cacao, and cracked black peppercorns, leaving a lasting impression of indulgence.
