Appalachian Gap Ridgeline Whiskey

Origin

We imagined Ridgeline before we even started up our distillery — a rich whiskey, reminiscent of bourbon and Irish whiskies, but with a character all its own.

Notes

Production: We start with a mash of local barley, corn, and rye. Double distilled, it is then aged in new American oak barrels and finished in port wine barrels to create a truly special whiskey.

Nose: Cedar, mint, dried fruit, with notes of vanilla.

Palate: Opens with crisp autumn fruit notes that gain spice and warmth on the palate, developing flavors of dried fruit, vanilla, and leather and tobacco notes like a finely aged red wine, with a lingering sweetness and hint of char. The finish is warm, with sweet spice and nutty notes followed by a clean burn.
