Oak and Grist – Descendent
Style of Beer:
American Single Malt Whiskey
Riverbend Malt(s) Used:
Dark Munich (2-Row Barley Malt)
Tasting Notes:
While still rooted in the Speyside-style, we developed this whiskey to be more familiar to the American palate. The addition of munich malt allowed us to draw darker fruit and caramel profile into the spirit. We allowed this spirit to age in a combination of new charred American oak barrels (heavy, sweet, nutty, grainy) and used bourbon barrels (vibrant and light aromas, ethereal top notes on the palate).
