Why it's craft

Ravenswood 13 marks Journeyman's thirteenth year by blending four of its own core whiskeys, the oldest of them a Silver Cross past seven years. Every component was mashed, distilled and aged by Journeyman from organic grain, in the Featherbone Factory in Three Oaks. The raven decanter recalls the bird that inspired the distillery's first rye, and the bottle is sold only at its Three Oaks and Valparaiso locations.
