Cognac Cask
DISTILLERY RESERVE SERIES - COGNAC CASK RYE WHISKEY
For this Distillery Reserve release, we’ve paired the distiller’s art with the work of Zuzu, an Austin-based visual artist and muralist. Zuzu spray painted every individual bottle by hand, allowing her dynamic vision to echo the spirit inside. The whiskey itself—distilled from 100% rye grains and finished in French cognac barrels—offers aromas of pear, honey, and fig, with a spicy rye palate of whipped cream and apricot jam.
ABOUT THE WHISKEY
This 100% rye spirit opens with aromas of pear, vanilla, orange peel, honey, and fig, followed by hints of butterscotch, honeycomb, and white grape. The creamy and nutty palate offers up notes of whip cream and apricot jam, alongside rye spice and further echoes of French butter pears. The silky taste tapers off with an easy, round finish and lingering impressions of sugar cookies.
ABOUT THE LABEL ART
We’ve paired the distiller’s art with the work of Zuzu, an Austin-based visual artist and muralist. Zuzu spray painted every individual bottle by hand, allowing her dynamic vision to echo the spirit inside. Zuzu originally hails from sunny San Diego, CA, but now calls Austin home. A self-taught contemporary visual artist and muralist, Zuzu is committed to the exploration, experimentation and unconventionality of blurring the lines between fine and street art. With the coalescence of unrestrained imagination, vigorous dedication and inevitable trial and error, Zuzu has cultivated a distinct style and process, which she has brought to bear on each individual label of the Cognac Rye.
