INDIANA RYE WHISKY meets OLOROSO SHERRY CASK maturation in this ‘first’ outing for Pintail into American Whiskey and what a result this has given us. From an undisclosed distillery, we do know that the mash-bill is more than 90% rye, aged for 5-and-a-half years in Virgin American Oak, before a further 14 months in two fresh Oloroso Sherry Octaves.

The whiskey spent most of the ageing process in the Indiana climate, enjoying hot summers and resulting in a relatively rapid maturation before its final period in Spanish oak. This has resulted, despite being among the younger whiskies bottled, in a whiskey that is extremely well developed and complex in character.
