CASK
STRENGTH RHY
WHISKEY

“A work of art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t art at all.” – Paul Cézanne

Like painting, distilling represents an intermingling of calculated craft and wild intuition. This impressive cask-strength whiskey combines the nuance of our beloved “Artist” Rye Whiskey with the robust intensity of a barrel-proof spirit.

The result is an all-new “Artist” of distinctive vigor and complexity.

In the tradition of our popular Cask Strength Bourbon, for this exceptional rye spirit we’ve tapped Master Blender Nancy “The Nose” Fraley to select the most exceptional barrels of our Straight Rye Whiskey, known as “The Artist,” which we then blended and bottled at the same proof at which the spirit was aged.

No one said making whiskey was easy. But we decided to make it about as difficult as possible, because dammit, we like a challenge.

That means we went all the way to Scotland and asked the world's best stillmaker to build us a 42-foot column still. It means we promised never to use any grains grown outside the state of Texas, no matter how rare or obscure those grains might be.

And it means we embrace an inclusive and imaginative worldview: Whiskey for the artists, the outsiders, and the ne'er-do-wells. Long live bourbon.

MARC BURCKHARDT

THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LABEL

Taking more cues from the Cask Strength Bourbon, we turned once again to the label artist Marc Burckhardt to help craft a nighttime scene featuring “The Artist”, with a starry night sky that reflects the deeper, more intense tone of the spirit inside.
