Crafted with a carefully balanced mash bill of 60% corn, 33% winter rye, and 7% malted barley, this bourbon undergoes sweet fermentation and traditional pot distillation, preserving the spirit’s complexity and character. What sets this release apart is its unique finishing process: after aging in Kelvin Cooperage char 2 barrels, the bourbon is transferred to X-bourbon rum casks, which previously held pot-distilled rum made from blackstrap molasses and pure cane sugar since 2015. Bottled non-chill filtered at a robust 120 proof, the result is a whiskey with bold character and vibrant complexity, distinctly influenced by the maritime climate of the Long Island Sound bluffs.\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enticing aromas of sun-warmed caramel, toffee, and ripe bananas, layered with hints of spiced oak and brown sugar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lush and mouth-coating, offering waves of molasses, vanilla bean, tropical fruit, and toasted coconut, complemented by peppery rye spice and a gentle maritime salinity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering warmth with echoes of rum sweetness, oak char, and a touch of sea breeze minerality for exceptional length and balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRum Cask Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare rum casks impart rich tropical and molasses notes, setting this bourbon apart from conventional American whiskeys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocal Terroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grains are sourced from family farms on Long Island, and the whiskey ages on bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, giving the spirit a unique maritime influence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Strength Integrity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled at 120 proof, this non-chill filtered bourbon offers the full, undiluted intensity and nuanced depth sought by discerning whiskey enthusiasts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtisanal Distillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using sweet mash fermentation and traditional pot stills preserves the delicate flavors and expressive character of the final whiskey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat or with a Few Drops of Water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savor the full range of complex flavors and aromas by enjoying this cask strength bourbon neat, or open up additional nuances with a splash of water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn a Premium Old Fashioned:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhance the classic cocktail with the spirit’s layered rum-cask notes for a distinctive twist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith Food Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or charcuterie to complement the whiskey’s sweet, spicy, and savory dimensions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField \u0026amp; Sound Recherche Collection Cask Strength is a bold, innovative whiskey for collectors and connoisseurs, offering a singular taste of Long Island’s finest craftsmanship and distinctive maritime climate.
