Fugitives Spirits Tennessee Waltz Single Barrel Whiskey

Started in 2016, Fugitives is named after a post-WWI group of intellectuals from Nashville’s Vanderbilt University that emphasized agrarian heritage. There’s an analogue in Fugitives’ emphasis on local corn, making this truly Tennessee Whiskey. The centerpiece of the company’s range is called “Grandgousier,” after a character in the Gargantua pentalogy by Rabelais. The foundation of this whiskey is a local heirloom corn known as Hickory Cane. Using the legally-stipulated Lincoln County Process, the distillate is filtered through Tennessee Sugar Maple charcoal (handmade by Fugitives) before maturation.

Fugitives Spirits Tennessee Waltz Single Barrel Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet and layered. Agave syrup, apricot marmalade, mint sprigs, corn tortillas, pine needles and Christmas spice, all with a strong stony underpinning.

Palate: Starts with a mellow corniness. This builds to a pertly stony note at midpalate, with an accent of spearmint.

Finish: This finishes sedately, with a smoothly sticky texture of honey that lingers, along with a subtly tannic greenness and a faintly meaty aftertaste.
