Burnt Church Distillery recently released its Honey Barrel Whiskey, the first expression in their Special Release Series.
The unfiltered, three-grain whiskey is made from the distillery’s Bluffton Whiskey, double-aged in honey barrels infused with Savannah, Ga.-based Wildlight Honey. It is 99.25 proof and made from a mash bill of Carolina Gold rice, wheat, and malted barley. The 15-gallon barrel previously aged Burnt Church Distillery’s Anita’s Choice Bourbon. The barrel’s second life was spent infusing Anita’s Choice Barrel Aged Honey for the Distillery for at least 60 days, and is available for sale in the Mercantile and online. Finally, the barrel was used for this special release, aging 6 months, producing 144 bottles.
“This unfiltered barrel proof offering shows all the characteristics of our Bluffton Whiskey with just a hint of sweetness from the honey barrel,” said Chris Crowe, General Manager at Burnt Church Distillery. “As the first product from our Special Release series, I feel this is a great introduction to the creativity and uniqueness we strive for in every product we produce.”
Priced at $60 per bottle, Burnt Church Distillery’s Honey Barrel Whiskey available only at the Distillery while supplies last.
