Description: Introducing Afterswarm Double Barrel Toasted Straight Rye—a bold, complex rye whiskey that harmonizes intense rye character with a gentle, toasted honey finish. Crafted from a classic 95% rye, 5% malted barley mashbills, this remarkable spirit originates from both Indiana and Kentucky. After aging for a minimum of five years, each batch is carefully transferred into Georgia apiary honey casks, where it matures for an additional year, infusing it with a distinct, velvety layer of honeyed sweetness.
This limited release is the product of four select honey barrels and four expertly toasted barrels from Kelvin Cooperage, both working in unison to enhance and elevate the rye’s natural boldness. The unique double-barrel aging process in honey and toasted oak imparts an irresistible complexity—notes of warm spices and toasted oak interweave seamlessly with hints of silky honey, creating a profile that’s both smooth and intense. The result is a luxurious balance of rich, toasted flavors, heightened by a whisper of honey that rounds out the finish beautifully.
With only a select number of bottles available, Afterswarm, will be an unforgettable sipping experience, embodying the craftsmanship and care that go into every bottle. For those who appreciate a nuanced yet bold rye whiskey, this release offers a journey of flavors that unfold with each sip, leaving a lasting impression that’s both satisfying and deeply memorable.
