“Rye finished in Martinique rhum, Madeira, and apricot brandy casks”

Tasting notes

nose
apricot, pear, lychee, and grapefruit over grassy rye spice and Martinique rhum florals
palate
orchard fruit and Madeira candy/earth bloom with water while rye spine stays intact at cask strength
finish
lingering apricot brandy sweetness and herbal rye

Mash bill

A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.

Blend of American and Canadian rye whiskeys — mash bills vary by sourced component rather than a single house recipe. Rye spice and grassy cereal from both sides of the border give Seagrass its coastal/herbal backbone before the finishing woods take over. Sell the rye blend diversity, not one farm's percentages.

Cask
Finished separately in Martinique rhum, Madeira, and apricot brandy casks
Finish
Martinique rhum + Madeira + apricot brandy casks (components finished separately)
