DISTILLERY RESERVE SERIES:
MONSTER MASH
SOLD OUTAbout the Whiskey
For this year's Monster Mash release, the Monster prowls an eerily familiar hotel hallway, an homage to one of the most iconic horror films of all time.
Under the direction of Master Distiller John Schrepel, this year’s blend takes the madness to new depths.
Inside each bottle lies a mash bill of truly supernatural proportions: 28% malted white corn, 23% white corn, 28% malted wheat, 13% malted rye, and 8% malted barley.
Words of wisdom to those daring enough to indulge: all work and no whiskey makes anyone a dull boy.

About the Whiskey
For this Distillery Reserve Series release, we began with our rye whiskey aged for 2.5 years and finished it in ex-Madeira casks for 11 months. The results yield a rich, complex flavor profile and the final product is delectable. The Madeira barrel finish adds layers of orange peel, roasted nuts, and walnut oil to the rich spice and fruity undertones of the rye.
Tasting Notes
NOSE:
Earthy and sweet, a splash of spiced plum & cedar, hints of creme brulee, red and black currant, & root beer candy.
PALATE:
Oily and dense with flavors of sweet molasses and charred oranges, lightened by notes of roasted almonds, nutmeg, brown sugar, & pipe tobacco.
FINISH:
Gripping finish with hits of cherry cordial, soft leather, graham cracker crust, & candied ginger.
