New Release Village Witch: Tastillery's Secret Rye Finished in Stout Cask
Tastillery Launches Village Witch: A Secret Rye with Stout Cask Finish
Tastillery introduces Village Witch, the inaugural release in their daring new Cask Creatures series. This Secret Rye Whisky stands out for its unusual maturation: after aging in fresh oak, it spent six months finishing in a stout cask. Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, this limited edition promises a distinctive tasting experience with just 138 bottles released. Discover Tastillery Cask Creatures Batch 01 Village Witch Cask Nr.01 exclusively through Spiritory.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
Village Witch begins as a Secret Straight Rye Whiskey matured in fresh oak barrels. The final six months of aging in a freshly emptied ex-stout cask impart layers of flavor complexity. This cask finish contributes a lightly smoky stout character alongside rich caramel and roasted malt notes, crafting an intriguing balance between sweetness and subtle bitterness.
Tasting Notes
• Nose: Rye, caramelized malt, maple syrup
• Palate: Lightly smoky stout, caramel fudge, malt beer, roasted grains, candied citrus fruits
• Finish: Dark chocolate cream, dry minerality, dark toasted oak, caramel crunch
