Frankenstein Whiskey

IT'S ALIVE!

THE STORY

Each year we create this special edition whiskey for you to enjoy during spooky season, and we always take a different approach to how we create this delicious, gruesome beast. 

In year one we aged bourbon, rye, and miscellaneous whiskey together. 

In year two we aged American whiskey in a rye whiskey barrel that was also home to a negroni. 

And we will continue to come up with weird ways to assemble a monster of a whiskey, much like taking different body parts to create Frankenstein.
