Found North Launches Batch 011
Found North has announced the launch of its latest whisky, Found North Batch 011.
Found North Batch 011 is a blend of 18-24 year old whiskies aged in new American oak and ex-Bourbon barrels: six corn components, two ryes, and a new wood cask of Peregrine First Flight. Batch 011 has a final grain composition of 91% Corn, 8% Rye, and 1% Malted Barley and is bottled non chill-filtered, with no additives, and of natural color at a cask strength of 64.9% ABV (129.8 proof) and is limited to 7,968 bottles.
Official tasting notes for Found North Batch 011 follow:
Close your eyes and inhale. Dense aromatics of earthy baking spice, sweet wood phenols and creamy herbal notes abound. Batch 011 walks you through an ancient forest of pinewood and vanilla beans. Each step deeper into the woodlands gives a distinct impression of honeycomb, charred tree sap and lychee tea. Each breath presents a swirl of cedar, blackberry currant and maple candy.
Batch 011 lands thick, like caramel meandering across the top of chocolate lava cake. The warmth grows in concert with the emerging cinnamon and nutmeg. The mid-palate softens into creamy, burnt marshmallow phenolics with savory mint tea, sweetened by melting rock candy. Resonant clove and graham cracker notes build into the finish, followed by a brandied cherry dipped in molasses that slowly crystallizes on the back of your tongue.
Found North Batch 011 will be available through an online ballot open April 1st on the Found North website and in-stores for a suggested retail price of $164.99.
