They say it’s never a good idea to date your neighbor, but our lead blender, Spencer, didn’t listen. Spencer took his dad on a birthday trip to Reece’s Cider Company in neighboring Georgia and unexpectedly left with a new love; their dry cider. As it tends to go, Spencer and the folks at Reece’s got to talking and one thing led to a yearlong relationship. We gifted them two of our Nelson Brothers Rye barrels and they aged their dry cider in it for nearly 10 months. We wanted to share in the love, so we put our reserve bourbon into one of those barrels and aged it another 3 months. Now we want to share our “Apple of My Eye” Cider Cask Finished Bourbon with you and your sweetheart. What ever became of that second barrel? We don’t fill and tell.

Some of life’s greatest whiskey achievements happen by circumstance. This liquid was originally produced and barreled in 2015. That barrel was dropped in 2018 while being moved. The barrel was cracked beyond repair, so the spirit was transferred to a new charred oak barrel creating a beautifully rich and one-of-a-kind spirit.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: devil’s food cake, toasted brown sugar, hazelnut
Palate: fig jam, pipe tobacco, honeycomb
Finish: red wine, slate, cinnamon candy
