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.

An innovative rye matured beyond convention, marrying stout cask influence with classic American whiskey depth.

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
