Dogfish Head Alternate Takes: Volume 1: Finished In Rum Casks Whiskey

This whiskey starts in their brewery as a complex beer consisting of mostly specialty malts, including Applewood smoked, coffee kiln and crystal malts. They ferment this beer with their proprietary and flavorful Doggie Ale yeast right alongside beers like 60 Minute IPA and SeaQuench Ale. By tapping into our world-class brewery this whiskey accesses the very best ingredients, equipment and expertise, including removing the grain solids from the liquid prior to fermentation. This process along with their batch-distillation creates a base whiskey that’s more delicate and nuanced than a typical American style whiskey. Alternate Takes: Volume 1 is then aged onsite in new charred American oak barrels, then finished in rum casks which previously aged their Barrel Honey Rum (a rum made with sugar cane molasses, honey and aged in American Oak.). The result is a malt whiskey with layers of complexity and exceptional smoothness.
