Dark Arts Whiskey House 8 Year Blunt Blend Rye Finished in Madeira & Armagnac Casks

Unleash bold complexity with Dark Arts Whiskey House Blunt Blend, an 8-year-old straight rye whiskey masterfully finished in a trilogy of rare casks: Madeira wine barrels, Armagnac casks, and honey casks. This limited edition triple-cask rye is a testament to innovative finishing techniques and showcases the alchemical artistry of Dark Arts’ distilling team in Sparta, Kentucky.

Distilled in Indiana using a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill, this cask strength rye whiskey is bottled at a robust 114.8 proof (56.4% ABV), delivering an unforgettable balance of spice, fruit, and sweetness.
