66Gilead The Wild Oak

From a bourbon-style mashbill matured in new Missouri oak this first whisky from 66 Gilead salutes Wild Oak farm where contented cattle dine on the distillery’s spent grains. Dry grain gray weathered wood sea breezes caramel and soft earthy woody notes become vanilla saltwater taffy cherries and fruit punch with herbal hints of celery. It’s hot and spicy with sizzling pepper and searing ginger over a barrelhouse woodiness. Young but not rough with a long peppery finish.
