Fort Hamilton Continental Collection Mead Finished Rye

Tasting Notes

Fort Hamilton's Continental Collection Mead Finished Rye is a fascinating twist on tradition. This limited-edition rye, crafted from a high-rye mashbill, spends four years in American oak before its grand finale: a two-year slumber in wildflower mead casks. The result? A whiskey that dances between spice and sweet. Think warm brown sugar and oak on the nose, followed by a palate where spicy rye meets the comforting sweetness of toasted brown sugar. The finish is surprisingly refreshing, a cool minty breeze with a lingering warmth that echoes the brown sugar notes. The mead finish elevates this rye, adding a unique layer of complexity and making it both approachable and memorable.
