Corsair Artisan Distillery has just released our first aged products to the market including an aged whiskey.
After much anticipation, an aged version of the 100% rye mash bill was released. This spirit spent over 4 months in a 5 gallon charred barrel during which time it picked up deep vanilla and caramel flavors to add to the rich grain notes and dark fruit sweetness that were present in the unaged version (previously released as Wry Moon). Because of its limited release (only 67 bottles) this spirit is only available at the Corsair Distillery Giftshop for a retail price of $35.00. It is currently only available in 375ml bottles.
The second product to be released is a unique Barrel Aged Gin, which has received rave reviews from test groups across the country. We began with our standard gin and upped the juniper content to add some boldness to the final product. We then aged it for 6 months in used barrels which previously held our Spiced Rum. The result is a warming drink ideal for sipping. The first flavors are peppery and bold that then transition to a refreshing finish with obvious evergreen and citrus notes. A perfect winter drink. Corsair Barrel Aged Gin is currently available at the Giftshop and in Washington State. Further distribution is slated to begin soon. Suggest retail price is $35.00 for 750ml.
