2. What is the age of your whiskies?
Our barrel aged whiskeys are drawn at 20-22 months. We test the flavor, color and proof at around 8-10 months, then at certain times after to ensure the quality is getting where we want it – color, flavor and proof.
3. What is the term of "Finished with wood pieces" mean on the back of your barrel aged whiskies?
We do a finishing process after the whiskey is drawn by smoking chunks of applewood and cherrywood to round the whiskey out. This process is not uncommon with a lot of distilleries, small batch and industrial. Some use spirals or even cut staves placed in the barrel for more wood exposure and to maximize flavors.
4. We make everything…
We mill all of our grains that are sourced between Missouri and Kansas for our corn and wheat, North Dakota, Minnesota for our rye because of the climate that it needs, more of a colder grain. Here is the breakdown:
1000 lbs. of grain --> 500 gallon mash tun --> 500 gallon fermentation tank (we have 10 of them) --> 500 gallon still (hybrid copper pot column still)
We are truly a grain to glass distillery.
5. Hand bottle and label all of our spirits. We also sign all of our bottles by batch number, bottle number and by Head Distiller Patrick Garcia.
The term batch on the bottle refers to the blending of a certain ratio of barrels based on duration, size and flavor to create the batch number you see on the bottle.
Time spent apart is worth the wait. Coming together reminds us that we belong to something bigger than ourselves—this is the greatness embodied in our Reunion Rye Whiskey. A small batch, 100 percent rye whiskey from Dark Horse Distillery. Reunion harkens back to the start of American whiskey, but with a distinctly modern flair. Handcrafted from the finest quality rye and aged to perfection in our signature oak barrels, Reunion unites an undeniable smooth, creamy character with a spicy finish. Reunion reminds you that sometimes it’s not about racing to the finish, it’s about remembering where you started.
- Our small batch rye whiskey is made from 100% rye.
- Aged in hand made, new American Oak micro barrels for complete flavor extraction in a shorter amount of time.
- a rich combination of spice, butterscotch & citrus will stand out from the start, surrendering to a smooth & memorable finish.
- Hand made, bottled, labeled & numbered showing our constant commitment to the artisan tradition.
