What is the Alpha series?
Alpha series are higher proof, older, more limited releases. This alpha wheat is barrel strength (123 proof) and a blend of one 53 gallon barrel and 5, 10 gallon barrels.
What is a rum-finished whiskey?
The wheat aging in the 53 gallon barrel was first aged in a new barrel and then transferred into a used rum barrel. This gives us some complex sweet notes from the rum that was in it previously.
