Product description
Ammunition whiskey debuted in 2021 from California-based Daylight Wine & Spirits.
The company was founded in 2011 and initially focused on wine, with its distilled beverages division joining six years later. The Ammunition Straight Rye whiskey on display here goes far beyond the established canons of rye whiskey. Distilled at MGP Indiana from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, it was aged for two to four years in new, charred American oak barrels, then finished for at least three months in Ammunition Sonoma Pinot Noir barrels. The whiskey debuted in early 2022.
Aroma : wine-herbal, thyme, basil, dried dill, anise, pine needles, cloves, strawberries, cherries and charred oak.
Palate : mint, dill, anise, black pepper, cloves, multi-berry jam, traces of pine needles and eucalyptus drops and oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of forest berries and herbs, lemon peel, a touch of caramel and oak.
