This playfully explorative rendition of Ryeway to Heaven features, as the name suggests, American oak apple brandy barrels as opposed to the more familiar bourbon and rye whiskey examples. A slightly sweeter blend provides more room for malt-derived flavor development in-barrel, balancing the impact of a wondrously expressive spirit. Drink now or store cold.

Burk från Revolution. Rostbrun/kastanjefärgad med beige krona. Maltig sötma, torkad frukt, kolaremmar, kanderade äpplen, karamell, tydlig fatkaraktär med nästan lite spritiga inslag. Slår nästan över till aceton eller medicinala toner, men håller sig till Läkerol, örtsprit och menthol. Stor, lätt kladdig kropp som stramas åt rejält av fatet.
