Reefer Madness
Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum & Ex-Peated Scotch Casks
We had a cult following with the release of “Smoke On Water”, our rye finished in peated scotch casks and our Master Blender wanted to take it to the next level.
Here we take our famous “SOLERA METHOD” rye whiskey finished in rum casks and further finish this sweet and spicy whiskey in ex-peated scotch quarter casks for a truly unique experience. Sweet, spicy, and tobacco notes make up this exceptional pour found nowhere else.

TASTING NOTES:
Nose - Bright citrus, Creme brulee, toasted rye bread
Palate - Orange marmalade, whipped honey butter on rye toast, with slight earthy biscuit-ey notes, finishes with sweet tobacco
FInish - A delightful ensemble that greets you with citrus marmalade, and falls to fire-roasted hatch chili pepper and toasted rye bread. Moves onto a subtle, yet long-lasting sweet tobacco that stays on your palette (think of a long draw on a rich and sweet cigar; bright leading into rich earth and dried fruits)
