Ransom Whippersnapper Whiskey

The whippersnapper is our endeavor to combine the best production methods and technical approaches used in making bourbon scotch irish whiskey and dutch corenwyn. We believe the whippersnapper cannot be placed in one category of whiskey; the best aspects from several distinct styles are represented. Although the mash bill is most similar to bourbon it is quite heavy on malted barley and aromatically is more similar to a non-peated scotch or irish whiskey. 42% abv 84 proof tasting notes: whippersnapper opens with warm toasty notes of hazelnut and rye loaf underpinned by creamy malt aromas. The palate is lively but giving with a deft balance between aromatics of grain and barrel; notes of crystal malt demerara sugar and sweet earth. Whippersnapper finishes with an elegant flourish of viscosity and vibrant expressive notes of rye and malt. Suggested cocktails: manhattan old fashioned whiskey sour mint julep.
