Roknar Sauternes Cask Finish Rye Whiskey 750ml

Bottle size

80% AC Hazlet Rye, 10% Heirloom Corn, 10% Malt Barley. Aged 15 months on oak and an additional month in French Sauternes casks. “Less than two years old.” For the uninitiated, Sauternes is a variety of very sweet and thick dessert wine produced mainly from Semillon grapes in the Bordeaux region of France. The grapes were historically left to contract ‘noble rot’ on the vines, which allowed the outside air to permeate the skins and cause the sugars to concentrate due to evaporation.

About the brand

It’s a story of two people – Michael Swanson and Cheri Reese – who returned home to find the authenticity of a simple life and fulfill a deep desire to make tangible, artisanal products of unquestionable quality and value. FOURTH GENERATION FARMERS The Red River Valley Swanson farm has been continuously farmed by Swansons since 1917. It is a thousand acres of jet-black, abundantly rich soil that produces exceptional rye and heirloom corn. Built in 2013, the distillery sits on what was once a wheat field. SINGLE ESTATE SPIRITS The northernmost distillery in the contiguous United States, Far North Spirits makes premium, heritage spirits inspired by Minnesota’s character and agricultural abundance. Located just 25 miles from the Canadian border, we are one of only a handful of estate distilleries nation-wide to also grow our own grains.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Immediately intrigued upon first whiff. Notes of rye-dominant walnut skins, candied orange peel, and earthy, spicy burnt sugar make way for overripe apricot, spring flowers, and a subtle vanilla. As opposed as these profiles sound, the aromas work together harmoniously, and transcend the way they sound on paper.

Taste

The first surprise upon ingesting this liquid is its thinness, which is a bit of a disappointment with the build up of desserty notes in the aroma, suggesting something viscous, and frankly, more Sauternes-like.

Finish

The finish lingers with baking spices
