Ironroot Saints Alley Herald Armagnac finish (53.5%)

Ironroot Republic Distilling Saints Alley Herald – Armagnac Finish is a special American whiskey in which the rich tradition of Texas is combined with the refined influences of French Armagnac casks. This limited bottling from the Saints Alley series demonstrates how innovative cask aging can create an exceptional balance of power, elegance, and complexity.
After careful maturation in American oak casks, this whiskey is finished in carefully selected Armagnac casks from Southwest France. This maturation adds beautiful layering, with refined fruit notes, floral accents, and a subtle spiciness that perfectly complement the character of the whiskey.

The long, warming finish lingers with notes of vanilla, oak, candied fruit, cocoa, and a refined spiciness, where the elegant influence of the Armagnac casks remains recognizable for a long time.
