July 3rd: will be Dancing Goat, featuring Limousin Rye:
One of the most unique rye whiskeys, designed with the Maas family’s affinity and history with Canadian style ryes.
Double barrel finished – starts in a once used bourbon barrel, rested in a French Limousin Oak solera, proofed slowly in casks with French Oak staves.
Aging and finishing process lends a profile that carries less phenolic rye notes with heavy influences of caramel and vanilla from the French Oak.
Food pairing: what Levi felt would pair best with this spirit:
Goat cheese filled mushrooms (accentuate the heavy mouthfeel)
Cooked pretzel bites with warm peanut butter cocoa dipping sauce (the rye aspect of Limousin tasted more dense like a pretzel than a big slice of rye bread)
