Gray Label Seagrass 16 Year Rye

The foundation of Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Seagrass began with two groups of 16-year-old 100% Canadian Rye barrels - one with bright citrus and crisp green apple notes and the other with earthy spearmint notes. A portion of the first group was finished in Apricot Brandy casks, a portion of the second group was finished in Martinique rhum barrels, and a blend of the first and second groups was finished in Malmsey Madeira barrels. This deeply mature rye whiskey has a classic, grassy aroma reinforced by equally iconic, fresh notes of rhum agricole, nutty madeira characteristics, and splashes of bright and rich tropical fruitWhen each set of secondary maturation flavors peaked, those casks were pulled and slowly married into the final blend.
